1. about lab book

   JohnnysGirl replied to irenefly99's topic in Pre-Nursing

   well... depends. Ask your instructor if the last edition of the lab manual that you will be using would suffice for the class. My class has it posted that we can use either the 11th or 10th edition of the lab-book. The 11th edition was $110.00 new. T...

2. Rate My Professor

   JohnnysGirl replied to BenevolentOne's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I have found the scores to be accurate for the instructors I have taken. (community college) Most are good with a few bad ones. Some comments for teachers I came accross were: "always late" and "don't even worry about your grade, just make sure you s...

3. Help on understanding

   JohnnysGirl replied to iamhere's topic in Student Assist

   I can see this being true. I am not in Nursing school yet, but I have started to read Charting: Made Incredibly Easy. I was able to come to the same answer as other posters: answer A. It made the most sense based off what I have read so far. I had no...

5. Things to get out of the way NOW if you are starting in the Spring

   JohnnysGirl replied to AtomicWoman's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Anyone know how current the vaccinations need to be? For instance - would getting them in elementary school count? Or do they need to be updated/recent? Thanks.

6. Pre-Requisits for pre-requsits???

   JohnnysGirl replied to gentlegiver's topic in General Nursing

   I had to do the same thing - take chemistry before the other sciences. I just knocked out other classes that didn't need pre-reques. I think intermediate algebra before chem. is rediculous. Here is what I did: Semester 1: chem, english 1A, sociology...

7. Vultures

   JohnnysGirl replied to icyounurse's topic in General Nursing

   If patients are picking up their meds from the pharmacy, I'm pretty sure they just read the pamphlet that comes with the drug. It really doesn't take that long. I mean - isn't it a good idea to make sure you got the drug you were supposed to from the...

8. Family Doesn't Want Patient To Know?

   JohnnysGirl replied to missjennmb's topic in General Nursing

   I just can't believe this. I get personally upset about this because it happened with me when I was diagnosed with ALL when I was 18. My immediate AND extended family all agreed not to tell me my diagnosis becuase they felt that I wouldn't be able to...

   JohnnysGirl replied to PreRN Katie's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'd like to join the study group as well. My class starts on September 2nd. I've spent some time with the Microbiology coloring book which has helped me get an idea of what I am in for. I have an older edition of the book we will be using since the c...

10. UHC thread CLOSED Whaaaa! It was a great thread!

    JohnnysGirl replied to I love my cat!'s topic in General Nursing

    My mom has been using the word "snarky" for as long as I can remember. She's not in healthcare. I've always kinda liked the sound of it.

11. Is it too late for me?

    JohnnysGirl replied to Kimba819's topic in Pre-Nursing

    What a self-absorbed thing for your friend to say! Instead of giving you an inside look to what you will be in for, she brings you down and says you aren't as smart as she! What a turn-off! People who want something bad enough obtain it through perse...

12. Editions of books

    JohnnysGirl replied to nebrgirl's topic in General Nursing

    Usually at college campus libraries, they have a copy of the textbook you will be using in their reference collection. You can not check (or take) it out of the library, but you can compare the editions and decide which one you prefer to go with. If ...

13. Just watched "Hopkins" and I have a question!

    JohnnysGirl replied to glamgalRN's topic in General Nursing

    OK, ok,... I was trying to find this show last night on t.v. and couldn't! Can someone PLEASE tell me when this show is on and what station? I thought it was 8-9 central on CBS. How come I can't find it? I have missed every single episode so far. Lu...

14. On the other side

    JohnnysGirl replied to SunnyAndrsn's topic in General Nursing

    I can empythize with you deeply. Your family has a rough road ahead, but it's good to remain positive. I would like to give you a bit of hope from a personal experience. I had A.L.L. a few months before graduating High School. It was found somewhat b...

15. Medical assistant with a problem

    JohnnysGirl replied to airforcewife2000's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps when you introduce yourself to patients, you can educate them a little bit on your educational background or qualifications? Such as: "Hi. My name is _____, and I am your/the Certified Medical Assistant today. I understand that Renee was your...
