3. Confusion on Rounding in Nursing Math. PLease Help!!!

   Kimmi73 replied to rita.kumar83's topic in General Students

   Consult with your nursing handbook which should have clear definitions on rounding. Also ask the instructor, as each one can be different. At my school we round all drop questions to the nearest whole number. (Obviously you can't administer a tenth o...

   Kimmi73 replied to beachbound1023's topic in General Nursing

   This is so frustrating!!! This is exactly why people go around and call themselves "nurses" when they are clearly a medical assistant or technician etc. (The lady who signed you up needs to be set straight and reported) We work our butts off to be c...

   Kimmi73 replied to Jayla's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I'm currently pregnant and in nursing school. I'm going with a CNM who delivers at the hospital. She's awesome and I wouldn't trust anyone for my care. She's in practice with 3 other docs just in case. I like the idea that they are holistic and I wil...

   Kimmi73 replied to jabraham99's topic in Michigan

   I'm currently in my first semester of NS BUT I can completely relate to "stressing out" about getting in. I swear everyday the mail would come I hyperventilated. :) Then when I did get the letter, I didn't even read it I just looked for the bold word...

    Kimmi73 replied to inspire's topic in Michigan

    Nursing school is challenging but sounds like you're organized which is crucial. You CAN'T fall behind. Stay on track and always know what you have next to do. Now I start clinicals in 2 days, so I can't give advice on that yet. NS is what I expecte...

14. Any Lansing Community College students?

    Kimmi73 replied to AnnaN5's topic in Michigan

    I had all the pre-reqs and the required classes completed. I would suggest having most if not all completed this way it can boost your GPA and give more completed credits towards the degree completed. Which then = more points possible. Feel free to p...

15. Any Lansing Community College students?

    Kimmi73 replied to AnnaN5's topic in Michigan

    I applied one time and was accepted. I start Jan 08. I did apply one time prior but never finished Math 112 so technically I wasn't eligible. I feel confidant with the requirements and gaining the most points possible (most students who have been acc...
