Nurseprac, I don't think they count it. My friend in the bsn program had a previous degree in veterinary and still had to take human anatomy and phys. You might just want to call and ask...

"The point is, just because a task is out of someone's "scope of practice" doesn't always mean that they shouldn't be allowed to do it." No, that's exactly what it means. Let's consider the med...

I volunteered in a BICU for a year a while back. I was not a nurse there, so keep that in mind with my answer :) I did see a 1:1 ratio, but it was mostly the ideal situation rather than the norm. ...

Hi! I start in September, and our book list just went online this week. I found great deals on half.com for my textbooks, and will probably glance over them (at least pathophys) before getting...

Hahaha- "even men in their 30s expect little or no hair down there." I am well aware - this is my peer group. :grn: Reference "D-bag culture" in above postings :D Seeing the recent population...

Argh - I'm a regular waxer, but if an OB ever said this to me, they could expect the Amazon rainforest of pubic hair to greet them. I can see shaving if there's going to be tape involved, but...

Congrats on your move! The Knoxville area is my hometown. I have some friends who graduated from nursing school there (way before I decided to pursue nursing myself) and have worked for Covenant,...

I have found that as long as the group is really selective in who gets invited (info moochers need not apply ;)), study groups go very well. In the one I was in for several of my prereq classes,...

The first thing I'd do is find out what nurses do! :) I promise it's a lot more than you think. One good way to do this is job-shadow. If there was an LPN or RN that you worked with in LTC, call...

Well put! Seriously? For patient satisfaction? As a patient going into a hospital, I'd be a lot more concerned about nosocomial infection, the procedure going well, being kept clean and reasonably...

My A&P instructor did a lot of critical thinking/case studies/applied problems for us, too, and while it kind of sucks to have to spend an entire week stressing over a problem, it really does cement...

"No, I don't remember what I put for question 15 on the exam. I don't have photographic memory. Could you maybe give me a little hint as to the content of the question?" "Oh. My. God. Did you...

I'm just starting my BSN in the fall, but I've always felt called to work in healthcare. It sounds like a weird way to put it, since I'm not a very religious person, but I was always good at...

Oh man, then it really is late getting to me. I've tried checking at SU online, but it still says that my award information "isn't available online." Maybe that means there are just too many...

J450n - when did you receive your financial aid award letter? I am still waiting to hear something from student financial services, and while I know I'm going to attend SU, it would be nice to know...

Oh, I understand where you are. I came home my first night of clinicals and the second I walked in the door I started sobbing to my husband about how bad it was. I couldn't really even say anything...

Not only is the article trying to push an agenda, but so is the website. This is the kind of fear-mongering that will keep people at home trying to cure their own cancer with St. Johns Wort, the...

If you do all your prereqs at Seattle University (usually means you're starting as a college freshman and do your prereqs along with your other core classes for your bachelor's), then you are...

Congrats on your acceptance! This will be a second bachelor's for me, so after changing fields, completing all my prerequisites, and not getting in on my first round of applications, I was on cloud...

A&P I is a prerequisite for A&P II at the school that I took them at, but looking back, I would not have wanted to take them at the same time. There's a ton of information in both, and unless you...

I had a 3.9 in prereqs, completed my NAC, and had a previous B.A. in anthropology with a pretty high GPA. I had completed all the prereqs before I applied. I'm not sure what got me in the door here...

I volunteered at Harborview for a couple years while I was working on my nursing prereqs and I loved it. I have no experience with Swedish, but I can say that I did not feel unsafe at Harborview at...

Congrats! I will be in SU's BSN, and we just had a short orientation (barely skimming the surface) but they brought up that the curriculum had changed a bit and I think we will be doing Med-surg...

I just got accepted to a BSN program starting this fall, so I'm kind of in the same boat. I was elated (and I still am) that I got in, but now the reality of it is starting to set in and I'm...

Boo :( I clicked on this thinking it would be a fascinating topic, and one close to my heart since my undergraduate degree was in anthropology. Glad to hear I'm "slightly less retarded" than my...
