Last Thursday I was at the college for the purpose of collecting my Chemistry grade with some classmates. Apparently, there was a graduation ceremony for RN's going on that night as well, and my friends started talking to one student to ask her about the program. I didn't hear the entire conversation, but one of my cohorts told me the student had stated that ELEVEN people had failed out of NUR-181 alone during her course!
Now, there's always a chance there was some sort of misunderstanding or miscommunication, but does this sound right? For what it's worth, I would think the application process and competitiveness of getting in to the program would assure a strong student population, so it makes me nervous to hear these things. I already received some insight from someone privately, but I was wondering what the public population made of this info.
Congrats to everyone who got in to the nursing program! I'm in Level III now and I'm selling some books from level I. If anyone is interested, please send me a private message. I WILL SELL THEM CHEAP, I PROMISE!! :) Congrats to everyone again!
Gabby820 email me! I'm trying to get a head start on obtaining all necessary supplies so it's not a financial shock! Are the same texts still being utilized? [email protected] Also, going to buy a stethoscope soon- are there any requirements or is it personal choice? Thanks for any advice.
@Alyssa, I'll email you over the weekend about CPR. I haven't forgotten about you. Let's aim for after the semester. I'm slammed with finals and end of the semester projects which I'm sure you are as well.
I took my CPR class through lessstress.com at Holy Name this past Sunday. It wasn't all that expensive, the instructors were great, and the examination wasn't bad. All in all it was just About 4 hours. 8am-12.
Does anyone know about stethoscopes? Some people earlier in this bb have recommended cheaper ones due to price/theft, and the theory that if you learn to hear things on a crappy one, you'll hear on anything. What are all your thoughts? I was playing around on all heart.com and am looking into the littman cardiology iii. I like that it can be engraved, and has color choices so that it stands a chance to not be confused with another's.
Elfie2012- I was looking at the same one, especially for engravable option. Reviews are excellent for it. Think as long as there is a bell any stethoscope is okay (asked in a few threads earlier). I would rather get great results than challenge myself more than we'll already be in school alone.
