Anyone studying nursing??????

I'm taking my last final tomorrow and that will complete my 3rd semester. God willing, I will graduate in December. Nursing school is difficult, but not impossible. I am able to keep up while being a wife, mother of 2 and working part time. You have to be organized and disciplined. I just keep thinking of all the people I will be able to help in the future (and all the cute scrubs I get to wear).

I need more specifics...what exactly is it that you don't understand?  I'm a new nurse myself (I've been a nurse for a liitle over 1 1/2 year) and I've found the "Nursing Made Easy" books and magazines to be really helpful.  They have great diagrams and illustrations, and most importantly they explain things in simple, easy-to-understand language.

Study, it never fails.  If you know the material, ou'll be ok.  If you do not know, why should you be a nurse

Education majors and Nursing majors are tied at arrogance from my experience.  They just want to tell you ALL ABOUT IT all the time...ugh gimme a break.  I have to work with one of each.  A headache that starts at 9 and ends at 5.  I just can't believe anyone else has noticed this lol

I'm right up there on the soap box with you with attitudes in nursing school. At mine the ones accepted into the program are al easily 3.5 to 4.0 students that get into the program, yet so many fail. What's the point in making it so stressful that so many fail. This isn't a case of not being smart enough or working hard enough or wanting to badly enough. It's an underlying attitude and competitivness. Anyway, to help you out, yes other schools will accept you. I don't know which ones, only that my friend failed out of another and they wouldn't let her come back for a loooong time so she's entered ours.\nAnd no, there is no preparation given for the totally different style of thinking and testing that nursing involves. I'm not sure I'll ever understand how all 4 answers being right, yet three are counted wrong makes sense.

I took 5 highers and had to spend whole year studying to bloody pass them!!!! I would recommend taking 1 easy subject to free your mind from all the hard work. English isn't very demanding as its more what you know, you can't really study that much for it. Goodluck!!!!! i'm on maternity leave right now!

You should check out www.ttuhsc.edu. I think you can get your BSN in 2 semesters and I think most all of it is on- line, I'm not sure. Good luck.

I will pass on some advice I was given just a few years ago when I went to nursing school and had children in aprox. the same grades:  Chef Boyardee and Franco American are fantastic cooks!!!  Believe me, my kids hate the stuff now but we existed on it for the 2 years I was in the program. You will NEED to set up some time for yourself to study. What I did was set a bedtime 7:30 and all the time up until that was for me and the kids. After they went to bed I cracked my books, sometimes I could crack them while they were up but I never retained what I read. Don't be afraid to ask for help is also very important. Kentucky had some childcare grants---FREE that allowed me to afford childcare for those times when school was cancelled or had a half day. You can get some tips by getting in contact with the nursing dept. at the school you plan on attending and find out if such a program exists in your state. You are also better off getting the basic req.s out of the way first. You won't have time if they throw in some community service or clinicals after class. The hours are never what they tell you they are going to be. I also used multi colored pens to rewrite my notes at the end of the day so that important info stuck out.

I am not exactly sure what you are asking, as that isn't a full sentence--but I will try to give some input.  \n\nJust the other day on the news they were discussing the current crisis in the medical field because of the drastic shortage of Nurses.  One hospital personnel director said she could easily hire 100 nurses for their hospital alone, because they were so short.  Nurses are feeling the strain of this by having to cover more patients then what they should.  This passes a danger on to the patients that they are not getting the full attention that they should.\n\nFurther complicating this situation is that there aren't enough Professors of Nursing available, because the colleges cannot pay comparable wages to what the hospitals supposedly can--to be able to teach the number of students wanting to go to Nursing School. It is a terrible situation and with the impending threat of Bird Flu, I fear that the medical world is going to be knocked on it's bottom.  I only wish I could have finished my BSN.  Hope that helps with what you were asking.  GL

I have seen ads in my local paper for hospitals willing to pay tuition.  Nursing is a critical shortage in almost every state.  Do some research and see if you have a local hospital that is willing to pay for your education in exchange for your loyalty when you graduate.

Take it one day at a time. \n\nTry not to fall behind. Keep up with your reading and take\ngood notes.\n\nMaybe form a study group. Compare notes with each other and offer encouragement.\n\nMy best friend is a nurse. The hardest part for her was learning the drugs. She had note cards she had to memorize. \n\nDon't be afraid to ask for help. You have trouble with anatomy or another  class, seek out a tutor before you get too far behind. \n\nTake advantage of any classes or sessions that offer help- like a class on how to study for science, etc. or, if the prof offers help. Go. Make your self known. It doesn't hurt to let the prof know you are interested in doing better. \n\nGood luck. You have chosen a very worthy profession.
