  1. The FIT Nurse

    Staying fit and healthy is definitely important. I do try to keep up. Whether it's eating healthy foods or taking the 5 flights of stairs instead of the elevator. Take a dance class twice a week. I would like to start taking a strength building class...
  2. I can see myself as an ophthalmologist. I've always had this obsession with eyes and I definitely enjoyed the ophthalmology section of the special senses chapter in A&P.
  3. Nurse who survived Ebola is suing the hospital

    If she does get compensated, I hope it's only for the amount of her medical bills/furnishing her apartment and future medical expenses (I read somewhere that her medical expenses from THR/NIH were taken care of & she didn't have to pay for anythi...

  5. Microbiology

    Did anyone use this book to study? Clinical Microbiology Made Ridiculously Simple: Mark Gladwin, William Trattler: 9781935660033: Amazon.com: Books I feel that this book is more helpful to med students as it has info that we don't even cover in clas...
  6. Are you in it for the money?

    If I were in it for the money, I'd go to law school. Nurses make a nice a living, CRNA is better but neither is worth going in to purely for financial. What I really like about nursing is the 3 day work week (it's pretty much what sold me to nursing)...
  7. MSNA vs CRNA vs DNPA

    Aside from the differences in the titles, I'm assuming that the function will still be the same regardless of the degree title? I understand that by 2025 AANA wants us all to have DNPA instead of MSNA/CRNA meaning it would be more competitive than it...
  8. Microbiology

    So today in Micro lab, I learned about simple, acid-fast and gram stains. It all went over my head and it didn't help that I didn't pick up on it right away like the rest of my lab group. I was definitely struggling the whole time and am definitely ...

  11. Microbiology

    My first test is Feb 12 - so far we're learning the History of Micro, Chemistry of Micro and the Tools of the lab. There's so much info, my plan is to read & review at least 2 hours per day just to make sure it's all sinking in! I am aiming for a...

    Slow & steady wins the race.
  13. Microbiology

    Thanks you guys!!! My class started today and my lab starts on the 28th. My professor seems to be pretty cool and I'm excited. She mentioned that there's usually 12% - 18% of her students that get A's and I plan on being in that percentage. Wish me ...

    ICU nurse... Cardiac or Neuro ICU then hopefully the CRNA.
  15. Microbiology

    Thanks you guys!!! I just printed the syllabus for my Micro Lab & Lecture and it doesn't look as scary as I'm anticipating. I'm gunning for an A. I'm taking this class along with College Algebra & Intro to Professional Nursing. Since my semes...
