1. Took pre-reqs 12 years ago

   CYR replied to E-man's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Another thought too... Don't kick yourself for not having known years ago what you now know about yourself...that's the process of life and growing that we all experience in one form or another. If you feel that Nursing is your true calling, be GLAD...

3. Just how difficult is nursing school going to be?!

   CYR posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   Is it really THAT difficult?!! I have heard some say that the prereqs were more difficult than the nursing school and others say just the opposite. I'm curious! I start my community college nursing program in the fall and I have been taking really t...

5. Why do I keep hearing stuff about waiting lists?

   CYR replied to justagirl992's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm starting nursing school this fall. I met the prereqs after the fall 2004 semester so that has been a 3 semester (one and a half year) wait for me. However, while I have been waiting, I have completed almost all the requirements for later transf...

7. Wearing scrubs home??

   CYR replied to Rn2bKatie's topic in General Nursing

   "I have about a dozen sets of uniforms, all solids, and every one of them cost $$ that I could have used for other things. And the time I spend washing and ironing each week could be better spent with a good book and a glass of wine or reading to the...

8. Someone tell me its OK to have a 3.5GPA instead of a 4.0

   CYR replied to onehusbandsevenkids's topic in General Students

   "I was also told by a clinical instructor that most people that are book smart, are the ones who don't actually care about the patients they care for." I think you are either misrepresenting what your clinical instructor actually said or your instr...

9. Spiritual experiences in nursing practice?

   CYR replied to spiritualnurse's topic in Holistic

   While I agree in part with what you're saying I don't think a single response here has been about that. Nobody has talked about forcing their beliefs on others as a form of healing. I think we can have human empathy and understanding and love witho...

11. Someone tell me its OK to have a 3.5GPA instead of a 4.0

    CYR replied to onehusbandsevenkids's topic in General Students

    Hey, I just learned that I actually have a B in the Chem class that I was resigning myself to a C in....so here's what you do: instead of being bummed about a B here and there, psych yourself into thinking that you'll probably only get a C so that w...

12. Understanding Equianalgesics

    CYR replied to AussieKylie's topic in Student Assist

    In what you've provided you already have a ratio. So if you are told either the oral or parenteral amount, you can then calculate the other. If you have say 75mg of parenteral Codeine and you want to know how this converts to oral amount? Set up y...

13. For L&D RNs who are future CNMs: Coping with different model of care??

14. Anyone getting ready for a chemistry final?

    CYR replied to FNPhopeful's topic in Pre-Nursing

    My final will be in 5 weeks. I'm in my second semester of Gen Chem which is req'd for BSN....It is brutal. If you already have an A/B in the class you will be fine. Stop expecting nothing less than an A right now unless you want to be miserable. ...

15. Someone tell me its OK to have a 3.5GPA instead of a 4.0

    CYR replied to onehusbandsevenkids's topic in General Students

    I think my own concerns belong in this thread as well. I'm taking my second semester of Gen Chem along with the last in a series of Biology Majors courses which are for the purpose of transfering to UCLA's BSN/MSN program after becoming an RN (since...
