1. A&P and microbiology in the same semester?

   ssullyorthoRN replied to magn1jes's topic in General Students

   I took both A&P and Micro in the same semester. I got B's in both classes. I wouldn't recommend this unless you are very dedicated to your studies. During test time for each class I always felt like I studied for one class more than another. Now ...

   ssullyorthoRN replied to prodigy's topic in General Nursing

   I am going into the LPN/RN bridge program this fall. We are also required to have a knee-length lab coat for our OB rotation. Some of us that are shorter don't look so professional in these but it is a requirement!

7. Scholarship Essay

   ssullyorthoRN replied to ssullyorthoRN's topic in Student Assist

   Thank you for your much needed . I was trying to put a more creative touch on it than just "oh I want to help others". I guess I was trying to relate the fact that my family took care of others and I wanted to do that also (wasn't doing a good job at...

13. Reading alot of posts discussing "A" nursing students vs "C" nursing students

    ssullyorthoRN replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    :yeahthat: Is why I strive to be an A student. You never know when or where your grades in school could come back to haunt you. I have this thought also. What if I want to become more than a "plain jane" RN? Such as going into a specialty or getting ...

14. i failed out of nursing school...now what

    ssullyorthoRN replied to mashamontago's topic in General Nursing

    I think that you made your mind up already when you say "nursing isn't my passion" and that "I don't care anymore". Maybe you should take your instructors advise and try CNA.
