   Graduated Dec 14. Louisiana board processed app on 16th, received ATT on 19th. Been a RN since Jan 11th :') The wait sucks and I feel for all of y'all who still don't have your ATT yet. I can't imagine having to wait that long just to get a...

   randomtesla replied to randomtesla's topic in MICU

   Thank you Serhilda! Your example of questions is a great way for me approach my readings. And I guess you're right in that I'm not coming in as a nurse, but I don't want to disappoint them either with them picking me so to speak. ? Maybe I...

   This is correct. If you have the option of getting into a BSN program, it may be a better route for you.

5. OB/Maternal be an elective class for male nursing students

   randomtesla replied to carti's topic in General Students

   Do you think that because you're a male and less likely to go into OB that you shouldn't be required to learn OB/Maternal? Are you saying that doctors who plan to specialize in peds shouldn't have to learn adult physiology? Stop being a pompous ass a...

6. Malicious "pimping" in nursing / nurse practitioner school?

   randomtesla replied to RomaniGypsy's topic in General Nursing

   A lot of people are getting hung up on the terminology here. A lot of people my age, 20s, have heard it used in this context. ALL of my med school friends refer to this type of questioning as pimping. It's not THAT uncommon or bizarre.

   I think you should've received some kind of communication. I think you should have received either an acceptance, rejection or waitlist letter. If you have not received any kind of communication, I would call the school immediately.

11. What steps should I take?

    randomtesla replied to nita21's topic in Pre-Nursing

    2.5 GPA will get your application thrown in the trash for med school. In my community college, the minimum prerequisite GPA to apply into the nursing school is 2.8, realistically the average GPA they end up pulling is closer to 3.5 When applying to a...

    The supply list is not a part of the packet. In the packet under uniforms, it says that the supply list will be provided when you go to purchase your uniform.
