1. degree changers, was nursing harder than your previous degree?

   CHESCCRP replied to Infofreak411's topic in General Nursing

   Yes, my BSN was harder than my BS in public health. The public health degree took longer because I went part time, but there was no way to complete my pre-licensure BSN part time. The papers were not more difficult, but the time management was tric...

2. Need help with this medical abbreviation.

   CHESCCRP replied to guest08/05/2014's topic in Student Assist

   I find the medilexicon abbreviations site ( Medical Abbreviations and Pharmaceutical Abbreviations Dictionary ) to be very helpful. While there is almost too much information, contextual clues (and asking nurses) help me figure out the correct abbrev...

   I had similar stats when I applied to the Tucson program, and I got in on my first try. I'm now in my fourth semester. Good luck to you!

5. Teacher uses a different textbook for tests

   CHESCCRP replied to smilemore78's topic in General Students

   OP, I sent you a PM. Our school uses Potter & Perry, and there is an "Interactive review" website where you can practice NCLEX-style questions from the material in the book. I love this tool because it gives rationales as you answer practice ques...

6. Medical dosage calculations

   CHESCCRP replied to sucess2012's topic in General Students

   I have never heard of a separate dosage calculations course. Mine was integrated into Nursing Pharmacology, and you couldn't take that at my school unless you were in the nursing program.

7. Questions on my final and I passed!

   CHESCCRP replied to truckinusa's topic in General Students

   Truckinusa, do you remember your possible answers? The reason I ask is because I used to work in research, and the nurses would typically call the research office to speak to one of the research coordinators or the principal investigator about the st...

8. How many people in your class?

   CHESCCRP replied to Dezy's topic in General Students

   We began with 20 in our cohort, now down to 18. We all have lecture together, with each half of us going into one of two lab/clinical groups. A lot of us already have bachelor's degrees, so our prerequisite class size varied a lot.

11. Simple Nursing course turning out to be a complete nightmare.......help!

    CHESCCRP replied to Nursing2102's topic in General Students

    I am sorry you got stuck with such a lousy professor. You can complain to administration all you want after the class is over, but it looks like you're stuck with her for now. Don't waste your limited study time complaining about the professor, becau...

12. Rejected from ASU post-bacc nursing program, need some advice?

    CHESCCRP replied to rosesxforthexdead's topic in Arizona

    Are you referring to Arizona State University? I agree with hiddencatRN, take some science courses at a community college to raise your GPA and make you a more viable candidate. CC courses are not as expensive as university courses, and are good to r...

13. Any web sites to purchase instead of rent e-textbooks?

    CHESCCRP replied to LCinTraining's topic in General Students

    Contact other schools' bookstores. The University of Arizona has textbook bundles (e-only) that you can buy. I don't know if you need to be a current student, but I don't go there.

14. What area of nursing works well for a mom?

    CHESCCRP replied to emptyboxcars's topic in General Nursing

    Have you looked at research nursing? Though you don't get to use as many of the hands-on skills that you would in an acute care facility, there is research done in both hospital and office settings. I was in research for a long time, and my hours wer...
