1. Overweight issues; uncomfortable with being practiced on by another student

   renee1975 replied to molybdenum's topic in General Students

   I am also very overweight. I am in my first semester of nursing school. In my clinical group I am the only overweight one, and I hate having my classmates work on me. I am terrified of the upcoming donning/doffing PPE class. I know the gown won't...

2. AP 1 is my Mount Everest

   renee1975 replied to xschatzi's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Taking Chem within the A&P class without taking a dedicated Chem class is hard! No doubt you feel like you are sinking! Once you are done with the cell biology/chem part and move onto body systems it gets a lot easier. You'll definitely need t...

3. AP 1 is my Mount Everest

   renee1975 replied to xschatzi's topic in Pre-Nursing

   What are you studying in A&P 1? All we did was a review section on Cell Biology/Chemistry, Integumentary System, Skeletal System, Muscular System, and Nervous System. The rest of the body systems are in A&P 2. What body system are you curr...

4. Hospital Baby Blankets

   renee1975 replied to michael79's topic in Ob/Gyn

   In the hospital with my DD the nurses kept telling us to take the diapers, wipes, individual bottles of formula, baby blankets, etc because they weren't allowed to use them again and they'd just be thrown away. So we took it. I wouldn't have even t...

5. medication error

   renee1975 replied to py2010's topic in Safety

   So basically you are NOT going to report your error because the patient is OK? I find that reprehensible. I hope to God that I am never in need of care from a nurse like you. You are a danger to this profession. All I can say is thank God that po...

6. Plus size nurse concerned about O.R. scrubs

   renee1975 replied to Manatee111's topic in General Nursing

   That is a fear of mine too once I start in nursing classes. I am a pretty big girl and I'm not sure what to do re scrubs once I start doing clinicals. I'm hoping we have to buy something ourselves.

7. Genesee Community College Nursing Program ?'s

   renee1975 replied to renee1975's topic in New York

   When I apply this December, I will have completed ENG 101 and 102, CHE 100, BIO 104, PSY 101, and SOC 101. I have A's in every course except Eng 102 because I took it back in 1994 and didn't care about my grade so I ended up with a B. Do you recomm...

8. Genesee Community College Nursing Program ?'s

   renee1975 replied to renee1975's topic in New York

   So then what are they looking for in regards to admission? I really thought it was straight GPA but maybe not.

9. medication error

   renee1975 replied to py2010's topic in Safety

   You need to admit your mistake. It's the responsible, professional thing to do. I'm hoping the patient will be OK.

10. moving..what's a nice area to live in Rochester?

    renee1975 replied to newRN_NY's topic in New York

    Oh my I completely forgot to reply to you! I'm sorry! Anyways, RGH is sorta central Rochester, and not in the greatest of areas to live in. Brighton is a GREAT area to look for housing in. Are you looking to buy or rent? Are you single or marrie...

11. moving..what's a nice area to live in Rochester?

    renee1975 replied to newRN_NY's topic in New York

    Where are you working? That will help me narrow down what part of Rochester to tell you about. You don't want to live on the east side if you're working all the way over on the west...the commute's not too bad but its silly, especially in a place l...

12. Any mamas with a 2-3 yr old and started pre-req's here?

    renee1975 replied to Ready-Set-Go's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I am doing this starting this semester. I'm taking my two required pre-reqs (chem 100 and bio 104) plus psy 101 and soc 101 just to get them out of the way. I am 36, and I have an almost 3 year old. Thankfully my DH is great with helping me out, I...

    Anyone go here? I'm just starting my pre-reqs this semester (chem 100 and bio 104) plus I'm taking Psy 101 and Soc 101 just to get them out of the way. I'm hoping to get into nursing for fall 2012. What do they look at for admissions? Just GPA or...

    renee1975 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    So I'm 36 years old and I just entered college hoping to get into the nursing program for next fall. I'm taking the two pre-reqs I need before I can apply. I'm taking Chemistry 100 (Environmental Chemistry) and Biology 104 (Cell Biology). I'm also...
