1. Biology 095 or Bio 101???

   bluebirdlx replied to gcurry's topic in Nevada

   It's important to note regarding choosing a professor that easy isn't always the best option. My 189 professor has a horrible rating on rmp.com as being extremely difficult but she turned out to be my favorite professor of the semester and I had a gr...

2. Biology 095 or Bio 101???

   bluebirdlx replied to gcurry's topic in Nevada

   I had been out of school for 10 years with no biology background and I went straight into 189 just to save the time. If you're a good student you can do well in 189. I believe with 095 you don't have to take a lab section but with 101 you do - so yo...

4. New to Nursing...need thoughts on how to juggle work and school

   bluebirdlx replied to aquiroz's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I also have no choice but to work while in school. I work apprx 38 hours a week at an animal hospital and this semester I am taking 14 credits worth of pre-reqs. There are a few things I've done which I think helped me greatly. I began recording my l...

5. Complaints You've Heard During Nursing School

   bluebirdlx replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

   I have to say, that "C's get degrees" really irks me. If that's the case I might as well get a degree in astro physics. I'm sure I could scrape up a C. What's more important than the grade is understanding the material. Its my opinion that if you get...

6. Radiography vs. Nursing

   bluebirdlx replied to KKB243's topic in General Nursing

   I am in this situation right now, so I'm not sure I have advice, but at least I know where you're coming from. I'm currently taking my prereqs for nursing, which are luckily mostly the same prereqs for radiology. Next fall I will have to make a decis...

7. Biol 189 scares me!

   bluebirdlx replied to bluebirdlx's topic in Nevada

   I wanted to thank everyone for the advise they gave me before the semester started. Also an update on how I'm doing - a month and a half into it I'm able to hold an A. I hope I can keep it up. I ended up switching teachers at the last minute and now ...

8. Biol 189 scares me!

   bluebirdlx replied to bluebirdlx's topic in Nevada

   rwbglock23 - I can't seem to figure out how to reply to your message. I don't remember any biology at all. The closest thing I have is a Biology for Dummies book I know I can't say the professors name here but it starts with a V.

9. Biol 189 scares me!

   bluebirdlx posted a topic in Nevada

   I thought I would have to wait until Spring 2010 semester to take biology 189 because the classes were full so fast, but by some miracle a class opened up that fit my schedule. The problem is I'm not sure I am ready! Class starts in a couple weeks. I...

10. Best ER Nurse quotes

    bluebirdlx replied to JennyAS's topic in Emergency

    Years ago my sister had a severe allergic reaction that caused her ENTIRE face to swell up beyond recognition. In the ER, right in front of all of us the nurse -being dead serious- asked my mother "does her face always look like this?"

11. CSN pre-req. question

    bluebirdlx replied to HeidiLover's topic in Nevada

    I knew that not getting into 189 this fall would set me back, but I didn't even apply to CSN until May 09 so I'm not sure I would have even been able to find an open class. I plan to take 189 in the spring along with Psc and Com. Do you guys know if ...

12. School Supplies: Anything out of the ordinary needed?!

    bluebirdlx replied to confusedstudentnurse's topic in General Students

    The UnCalendar is awesome. I love that they take into account those of use who like to scribble notes and doodle. :)

13. CSN-Student Nurses Association

    bluebirdlx replied to massagechick's topic in Nevada

    Is this association for pre-nursing students? Or only for those already accepted into the program?

14. CSN pre-req. question

    bluebirdlx replied to HeidiLover's topic in Nevada

    I am 27 and just going back to school also. I have already taken SOC during summer and this fall I will take ENG 101, PSY 101, Math 100b, and BIOL 095. I have zero biology or science background as anything I learned in high school is now a distant bl...

15. School Supplies: Anything out of the ordinary needed?!

    bluebirdlx replied to confusedstudentnurse's topic in General Students

    The book stand is a great idea. I am trying to order one now and I'm having trouble with it. I try to add it to my cart but it keeps telling me my cart is empty. I guess I'll keep trying.
