1. First clinical. Forgot to document vital signs.

   Fullmetaljacket96 posted a topic in General Students

   Today was my first clinical, and I had to do my last set of vital signs before it was time to report to the nurse and leave. I could've sworn I documented them but at noon, the nurse assisting me, emailed saying I didn't document the vital signs and...

   I've been to several doctors in the past and one told me that I had a small heart murmur. I want to go into the Air Force as a nurse. Could this prevent me from getting in?

3. Microbiology and Chemistry at same time

   Fullmetaljacket96 replied to cysmith87's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Well I don't see how you can know ANYBODY'S scholastic ability on here, regardless of how many times they've posted, unless they openly stated their GPA scores or IQ, etc.

4. Microbiology and Chemistry at same time

   Fullmetaljacket96 replied to cysmith87's topic in Pre-Nursing

   It's doable, but it can be hard depending on the person. I'm terrible with managing my time and science is a difficult area for me so I can only take one or the other at a time.

5. Will having one W affect my application to the nursing program?

   Fullmetaljacket96 replied to gwynth's topic in General Students

   You ought to retake it. I agree with what other users said. That kind of thinking won't do you any good whatsoever in the nursing program. They don't care about what goes on in your life and why. I'm taking CNA classes. If a student missed one clinic...

9. Quantitative literacy or Statistics

   Fullmetaljacket96 replied to Fullmetaljacket96's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Neither is actually required, they just said these were optional courses though it would be a good idea to get at least ONE math class under my belt. More people I know seem to be taking quantitative literacy than statistics, not sure why.

10. Quantitative literacy or Statistics

    Fullmetaljacket96 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    I'm planning on taking a math class over the summer along with chemistry, and I'm stuck between quantitative lit and statistics. I don't even want to take a math class but I feel if I can do well at it, it could really boost my points for entry into ...

    Interesting. So it's not too early to start doing paper work and talking to a recruiter, instead of waiting til when I get my bachelor's?
