   Thank you Emergent! I am a little relieved, knowing I am not the only person with this kind of anxiety. How did you overcome your anxiety as a student? During my first three semesters (six rotations), I had all the nice and gentle instructors which h...

   albedo posted a topic in Career Support

   Two years ago, I failed my final semester the second time and had to drop out of my previous (ADN) nursing program. I had been a B student throughout the program up til my failure. So it wasn't about the textbook knowledge. It wasn't about my skills ...

   I am a student nurse. I honestly have never seen an RR that is not 18 or 20 on med surg floors. Students are the only people who actually would go in and count it. One time I counted 14 or 16 and I charted it. Later I checked the chart, someone has c...

   Hi I am a first semester student. I have always wondered how what I've learned about NG tube insertion is gonna work on real people because we don't get to practice on real people. But when I compare what I've learned and what I've seen in hospital w...

   albedo replied to Carol220's topic in General Students

   First off, why are you this confused while there are people from nursing department you can just walk in and talk to? You are going to Cerritos already. Just move your legs and walk to nursing building and ask the staff there already! If you are too ...

    My goodness... So the 30 spots do make a difference... I am really nervous now. I am now taking anatomy and microbiology... I did bad on my first 2 midterms of anatomy... I really have to work hard!! So any news about the lowest GPA they take for spr...

12. Just a discussion...getting into Nursing Program

    albedo replied to Sammygrll's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Long Beach City College only looks at GPA. And the lowest I've heard for last semester they took was 2.6. But in my opinion, the anatomy class here is pretty hard (consider most of my classmates barely passed the last midterm) and I don't think I can...
