1. online chemistry??

   tabacue replied to jlf3816's topic in Pre-Nursing

   momtojosh, it wasn't bad at all. I got a B in both. I even missed one of my labs. If I had turned it in, I would have gotten an A in one of them. The main thing is studying. I knew pretty much nothing about anatomy (other than what you learn as ...

2. online chemistry??

   tabacue replied to jlf3816's topic in Pre-Nursing

   My chemistry course (as well as A&P I and II) were online through Florida State College at Jacksonville. They were all 4 credit hour courses (3 for standard course and 1 for the lab). The platform was similar to those used in MyMathLab, but I d...

3. online chemistry??

   tabacue replied to jlf3816's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I never had HS chemistry and I took it online. I thought surely I would fail, but somehow I managed a B. I think there was some creative grading going on in that class. With anything, you have to really buckle down and give it as much attention as...

4. For all of those on Medicaid

   tabacue replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

   It actually looks like you are the one in need of clarification. I'm not a nurse and I clearly said so in my initial post. I am the mother of 3 children that are on medicaid and have been on both sides of the fence with insurance. I think this th...

5. For all of those on Medicaid

   tabacue replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

   Acutally, none of your post wast "tripping me up" nor do I need clarification. I think your posts are speaking for themselves.

6. For all of those on Medicaid

   tabacue replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

   I realize that there are a lot of people that abuse the system and don't work at all but what makes so many think that people on medicaid aren't also contributing by paying taxes? As I mentioned before, my kids are on medicaid. I'm not rude. I act th...

7. Fed up with Stupid Parents

   tabacue replied to TXPediNurse's topic in General Nursing

   I actually did that (or something similar) last week. My son has been hospitalized a few times. He is 4. He has been poked, prodded, allergy tested, iv'd, etc. until the poor kid probably feels like a science project. He had his well child visit ...

8. For all of those on Medicaid

   tabacue replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

   This has got to be one of the most stereotypical statements I have ever read. Granted, I do see that you tried to soften the blow. My children have medicaid. I had medicaid when I was pregnant with my youngest (now 2), but no longer qualify and n...

   Honeybee - that is awesome! I think we should all keep in touch regardless of where we are (I'll be at Alabama Southern). Maybe we could have a study group....could be beneficial to see what everyone is learning. Congratulations on getting in!

10. Report or not?

    tabacue replied to dscott76's topic in General Nursing

    If it were me, I would not report. If it is still bothering you then maybe you should go directly to her. Tell her straight up that you felt she spoke in an unprofessional manner (in a non-hostile way). It will probably just open up a new can of w...

    sniper1, your posts were very informative! Even though I didn't ask the questions, thanks! Also, I was curious if anyone else noticed that JDCC is hiring a new Director of Nursing. Wondering how this will impact the program.

    Courtlane - Last admission I know a guy that got on the alternate list with points in the 160's range. I am not sure if he actually made it in. I think someone else posted about someone they knew that got in with a 181 or 184. As long as you are a...

    I got in!!!!!!!!! Alabama Southern Community College in Monroeville. I am soooooooo excited! Their last graduating class all passed the NCLEX - that is awesome. I can't wait!

14. Is this a problem? taking your neighbors blood pressure

    tabacue replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    Here is a thought...what if neighbor asks you to take BP, you decline (afraid of being sued) and she suffers heart attack/stroke. Family knows she went to you and knows you are capable of assisting...they sue you anyway. My point is you could face...
