1. Best makeup for clinicals?

   SCSUStudent replied to chinacatSN's topic in General Students

   I've used Bare Minerals for 5 years and liked it but just switched to another foundation that I've been using for 6 months and LOVE LOVE LOVE. It's on the pricier side, but it's worth it to me (I'm on my 2rd bottle) - I use Makeup Forever Matte HD f...

2. Maslow's First Level, sex?

   SCSUStudent replied to MEDICJOHN's topic in General Students

   As a woman, I have to disagree. I would find it very hard to feel romantic love in a relationship without an adequate sexual relationship. As far as the actual question goes, I do think that sex belongs in the basic physiological need, if only becau...

3. IM Injection Question

   SCSUStudent replied to ese1212's topic in Student Assist

   I think she would have to prepare the medication again with the correct size needle

4. Nursing Students- Were Any of You "B" Students- and Still Got Accepted?

   SCSUStudent replied to lifelearningrn's topic in General Students

   It is possible. I had a 3.1 TOTAL GPA average from ALL of the schools I've attended. I didn't do so well at my first university, but then transferred and got A's and A-'s in all of my pre-reqs. I also did well on the TEAS (92). I ended up getting ...

5. Please don't judge me...I need advice please.

   SCSUStudent replied to layla100's topic in Pre-Nursing

   On the other hand, as the previous poster said, those grades may not count in your acceptance decision if they were taken over 5 years ago. BUT YOU MUST MUST MUST DO WELL IN ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY.

6. Please don't judge me...I need advice please.

   SCSUStudent replied to layla100's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I would definitely suggest looking into a retroactive withdrawal, which is the withdrawal of the courses you got F's in when you were a teenager. Most schools will allow you to petition your case, but you will need - an explanation, and some kind of...

7. Just got an email and I was...

   SCSUStudent replied to eharper's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I think a lot of the nursing students complaining about their workload need to reflect back on the day they got accepted. We did ask for this after all : )

8. Has anyone else gained weight in NS?

   SCSUStudent posted a topic in General Students

   Just a little vent here... Since Nursing School started, I've gained quite an appetite... and not just for knowledge. It seems to me that I'm either a) studying non-stop and constantly eating while doing so, or b) relaxing from a stressful week a.k....

9. Student Ruminations

   SCSUStudent replied to NamasteNurse's topic in General Nursing

   You wrote this story beautifully - just the way she would have liked it. I have only began my journey in nursing, and haven't met a patient like that, but I, too, will never forget yours. This has really inspired me to live fully every day.

10. Is anatomy one of the toughest courses for nursing?

    SCSUStudent replied to Toots71506's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I don't know if it's the toughest but it's definitely one of the courses you will use for the rest of your nursing career. I got an A in both of my A&Ps but I have to admit - I didn't really study for them. That is, I did study, but only to do ...

11. Not Getting "A's"

    SCSUStudent replied to *4!#6's topic in General Students

    Hey, I'm dealing with something very similar at the moment. My grades so far have ranged from 83 to a 95, with a predomination in the 88-90 range. There are days I feel exhausted and mentally drained, unable to understand why I can't cross that A l...

12. Admissions Essay - need your opinion and help.

    SCSUStudent replied to casie.holt's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I would suggest going to the Writing Center at your school if you have one. Your content is great, but I am not qualified to comment on your flow, sentence structure, etc. They, however, can give you some valuable advice and ideas need you fix anyt...

    Thank you! Very interesting information regarding real life OR procedures!

14. CT Students!!!

    SCSUStudent replied to ReneStovoL's topic in General Students

    Ok first of all, you CAN transfer pre-reqs from one CC to another, especially because, like the person above me said, they are both part of the CT community college system. You'll have to submit your Common Nursing Application and transcripts to the ...

    In what order do you put on gown, gloves, mask ,eyewear, and cap in a clean (medical asepsis) and sterile (surgical asepsis)? In what order do you take them off in both of those cases? Thank you!
