1. How many of your schools require a pharmacology class?

   JStylesNY replied to Coruscatedgirl's topic in General Students

   Hey citylights89 :) yea i find it very weird, and at this point im a tad bit confused. But if you think that your professors have covered all the pharmacology material that they plan to cover, then simply go take a look at a few practice tests. If yo...

2. How many of your schools require a pharmacology class?

   JStylesNY replied to Coruscatedgirl's topic in General Students

   CuriousMe: The name doesn't matter at all, but by reading "citylights89" post, it sounded as if her institution doesn't require the material at all. She said that the students who go on to pass the NCLEX "did the work themselves" and i assumed it mea...

3. How many of your schools require a pharmacology class?

   JStylesNY replied to Coruscatedgirl's topic in General Students

   I'm not completely sure on this matter, since I'm still in school, but I find it extremely disturbing that we actually have nurses out there who haven't taken Pharmacology.....

4. Help me plan next terms Course Load?

   JStylesNY replied to JStylesNY's topic in Student Assist

   Thanks for the advice! And yes, after a little research, I came to the same conclusion also :) But it's comforting to have some reinforcement for the decision! Thanks a lot!

5. Help me plan next terms Course Load?

   JStylesNY posted a topic in Student Assist

   Hello, I'm trying to figure out the courses I should register for next term (Spring 2011) along with the pre-requirements for my next Nursing Course. Anatomy and Physiology 2 (4 Credits) and Chemistry 2 (4 Credits) are the Pre-Reqs for [Nur 230 Clini...

6. I just ordered a Zuca bag for school

   JStylesNY replied to JackieBRCC's topic in General Students

   lol, there is NO way I'm carrying that giant thing to campus everyday... It's my second year in nursing school, and to this day I still get by carrying a textbook in my hand, and 3 pieces of folded loose-leaf along with a pen in my back pocket : ) no...

7. Do you actually READ your nursing books or just skim?

   JStylesNY replied to starmickey03's topic in General Students

   i'm pretty surprised your professor encouraged you to skim... in my foundations of nursing course, we didn't have exams or quiz's, but we did have many papers to write. we were required to do all the reading, and our professor always emphasized the i...

8. Well, No Nursing for Me

   JStylesNY replied to Donald11's topic in General Students

   in my opinion, the fact that you dislike the program or school policies should not dictate your career path. if you would love the job, you should pursue it. having said that, it seems you've done adequate research and made a realistic decision based...

9. Do you donate blood?

   JStylesNY replied to pna2388's topic in General Students

   i typically donate two times a year at our campus. i also work with a club to promote donating blood on campus and in our community, but it's shocking to see how many people are afraid of needles!

10. First week of school! :-)

    JStylesNY replied to CrazziiRN913's topic in General Students

    this is my second year in nursing school, and nothing has me excited about this term. i have no clinicals either, just a few sciences this term. i don't know how i'll make it!

11. Does being a Male open more doors in the nursing profession

    JStylesNY replied to Uwabodo's topic in Male Students

    i dont know about job prospects, but i honestly think that being male helped me get accepted to the nursing programs i've applied to. my GPA is....mediocre... 3.2 but i've been accepted to every nursing program i applied to. i just cant find any reas...

12. need some calculation help

    JStylesNY replied to raygun354's topic in Student Assist

    i agree, it should be 0.5ml for the first calc/ 1/200=0.005 1/100=0.01 what you need is 0.005, what you have is .01/ml 0.01x = 0.005 x = 0.005/0.01 x = 0.5

13. Failure of non-required classes 5 years ago?

    JStylesNY replied to Warrior504th's topic in General Students

    The colleges i have experience with (CUNY Hunter College, CUNY City Tech, D'Youville College) typically will not pay attention to grades from 5 years ago. the downside is that they'll also refuse to give you credit for any pre-reqs you've passed 5 ye...

14. Debt! I'm making the right choice, right?

    JStylesNY replied to reganette's topic in General Nursing

    Since you already have your BA, you might want to look into Pace University. I've heard its about 1 year (maybe 1.5) for those who already have a BA/BS. Cost is somewhere around 45K. Additionally, you can also look into the Navy's Nurse Candidate Pro...

15. Have you taken A&P 1 and A&P 2 at the same time?

    JStylesNY replied to OnaTrek's topic in General Students

    Personally, I wouldn't take both at the same time, only if I had given more thought to the decision a few months ago -.- It isn't confusing going back and forth between the two, in fact, the material covered is significantly different. A&P2 is NO...
