2. Poop in nursing

   Parks22 replied to KATRN78's topic in General Students

   No poop in nursing school? She won't be that kind of nurse? What?! Maybe she should choose another profession. It's not for everyone and if she keeps that attitude she won't last very long. Not only do I clean my patient's poop but if a call light go...

3. HELP! 1st semester ADN student needs advise

   Parks22 replied to dabeef's topic in General Students

   I took the vocab directly from the chapter readings in the assigned textbook. If it was bold, I knew it. I bought my recorder at Staples. It's in my car right now so I don't know the exact model but it was around $40. It has a calendar so I can easi...

4. HELP! 1st semester ADN student needs advise

   Parks22 replied to dabeef's topic in General Students

   Congrats on your acceptance! I just finished my first semester so I can try to help. 1. Learn the vocab. For me it was like taking a language in high school when my teacher only spoke in Spanish. My fundamentals professor was no different. Words like...

   Parks22 replied to arianna.lee23's topic in Pennsylvania

   I don't think it matters where you retook those classes. LadyFree I'm at La Salle now and love it! I believe obtaining my BSN is the right choice for me and will of course prepare me to become an NP one day.

    Parks22 replied to arianna.lee23's topic in Pennsylvania

    I think your best bet is to take those two classes at CCP again to get better grades and boost your overall GPA. Also most colleges won't accept science courses after 5 years. In the Philly area, most hospitals are trying to become magnet status and ...
