1. Not sure which math....

   ck29_2000 replied to CrunchyMama's topic in General Students

   stats hasn't been that bad (about half way through the quarter), it's just a way to lie and validate it with numbers. Lots of easy repetitive calcs especially if you have the fancy calculator that does it for you.(as recommended by the instructor) ...

2. How many of you are the only income for your household ?

   ck29_2000 replied to sasha2lady's topic in General Nursing

   Weird about your husbands physical. The hubs is a trucker and I swear they'd do anything to pass some of those guys. I'd steer your hubs into a different career. Mine is driving truck because he has the lap dog of trucker routes (10 hr day makes 6...

3. Told I won't get in to nursing school

   ck29_2000 replied to dfj22's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Have you thought about retaking some classes to raise your GPA, what about an ADN program? You could always get a bachelors degree in a different field and hope that those classes would raise your GPA enough to get in as a second degree student, but...

4. Online general education classes such as bio 110 or chem. 110

   ck29_2000 replied to newway's topic in General Students

   on the testing out note, make sure that it will transfer in pass/fail not a grade. the cc program around here transfers clep and all test outs in as a c, virtually knocking you out of competition.

5. Teacher Trouble

   ck29_2000 replied to MissFuturecna87's topic in CNA/MA

   I found the exam to be fairly easy so I don't know if the reduced time will inhibit you that way. That said NE requires a certain number of hours for a program to be accepted by the state, and I would be worried about not meeting that threshold.

6. Online general education classes such as bio 110 or chem. 110

   ck29_2000 replied to newway's topic in General Students

   I took bio 1010 hybrid fall quarter. Basically I did all the "work" at home and went in to lab 5 times over the course of the semester. It worked ok, the prof was a flake though so I signed up for chem 1010 in class rather than risk another prof wh...

7. Which pre-reqs to take first?

   ck29_2000 replied to WDW4ever's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Jumping in late and haven't read the replies, sorry if I'm just repeating previous advice. The first thing you'll need to do is take the basic science pre-reqs for your pre-reqs. I had to take a general bio class before I could entertain the idea o...

8. Volunteers

   ck29_2000 replied to escapebigd's topic in General Nursing

   I volunteer ER. It was fairly easy to get started, physical, drug test, orientation. I'm volunteering so that I have experience as I'm full time in school and a stay at home mom during the day so I don't have time to work. This gets me into the en...

10. A & P classes are FULL already!??

    ck29_2000 replied to nickynoodles's topic in Pre-Nursing

    a&p fills super quick, like insanely quick! See if you can get on the wait list, a ton of people drop around here, and if you're ok with starting the class late and catching up, lots of people drop w/i the first week after getting the syllabus a...

11. Volunteering at ER

    ck29_2000 replied to mcpnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Not much. Where I'm volunteering we change beds/clean rooms. Call people back if it's packed and take them to the proper room. Transport to ct/xray/etc. Any misc. tasks. Pretty uneventful.

12. Help me to prepare to enter the nursing school!

    ck29_2000 replied to pinktree0512's topic in General Nursing

13. Why am I taking another tb test??

    ck29_2000 replied to adruiz01's topic in General Nursing

    Around here if it comes back positive they do a chest xray to make sure you're not active.

14. Need help, what classes should I take

    ck29_2000 replied to kbm318's topic in Pre-Nursing

    It'll depend on the program you want into. Some require chem, developmental pysc, nutrition, human growth and development, a history class, stats the list could go on and on. Heck one program I looked into required an art or photography class as a ...

15. Pre-Nursing Internships?

    ck29_2000 replied to TaraRae123's topic in Pre-Nursing

    One of the hospitals around here does Versant Nurse Residencies (I think). Look up the versant site I know they're in a lot of places.
