1. Hemolytic disease of the newborn

   lace_face posted a topic in Student Assist

   I asked my professor if a Rh- sensitized woman would pass her anti-Rh antibodies to an Rh- fetus, therefore being born sensitized. My prof said no. This confuses me because anti-Rh antibodies obviously pass through the placenta, otherwise hemolytic...

2. Not sure which path to go

   lace_face replied to Cherzilla's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I think your best bet with a previous bachelors would be a second-degree or accelerated BSN program. Maximum results, minimum time/money investment. I think it is highly unlikely that you will find a nursing program that will accommodate a rotating ...

3. Pre-Nursing while pursuing Bachelor's Degree in Social Work

   lace_face replied to fasnv's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I think BSW would look great on your résumé as a nurse! It could give you a little bit of an edge in this crazy job market. I don't know about every where, but where I live RNs are qualified to do social work, no MSW necessary.

4. What are your ultimate goals?

   lace_face replied to Nursingstudent93's topic in Pre-Nursing

   My immediate goal is to finish my prerequisites and be accepted to a BSN program. When I am done with that, I'd like to serve the public in an emergency department. I am a survivor of sexual assault and my longterm goal is to become a Sexual Assaul...

5. Thinking about nursing as a career-

   lace_face replied to tara1245's topic in Pre-Nursing

   PTA is something I considered extensively, to the point of taking the intro level classes at my school. There is more to PTA than LTC! You can work in pediatrics, sports medicine, military/veterans, prosthetics, etc, etc. If you are interested in ...

6. Thinking about nursing as a career-

   lace_face replied to tara1245's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I have considered lots of other health related careers as well as a few non-health related ones. I found that my mind would always wander back to nursing and, at 22 years old, I finally got the hint. A B is not a bad grade and one single B will not ...

7. Is this insane?

   lace_face replied to lace_face's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I just checked it. General consensus seems to be that she is a good professor who knows her stuff, just not very nice. Apparently, she made a girl cry in class this semester. I'm not very sensitive... So I guess I'm safe?

8. Is this insane?

   lace_face replied to lace_face's topic in Pre-Nursing

   My school combines the sections, so each course is 4 credit hours and has 6 hours/week of class time scheduled. It's up to the instructor when/how much lab time we have. My first bio class we had labs maybe every other week but my A&P 1 class ha...

9. Is this insane?

   lace_face replied to lace_face's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Nope, there are no pre-reqs for micro at my school!

10. Is this insane?

    lace_face replied to lace_face's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Thanks for all the thoughtful replies! I think I will put off the CNA course until the end of the semester. I am not worried about taking the sciences together because I am a science nerd. I made As easily in BIO 1&2 for majors and A&P 1. ...

11. BSN Program - do you get to choose clinicals?

    lace_face replied to priorities2's topic in Pre-Nursing

    The short answer is no. You will have a mental health clinical but you will also be required to participate in all other clinical areas as well. Now, depending on your school, you may have some input into which clinical sites you go to. Although, ...

12. Advice on Schedule Please!!

    lace_face replied to FutureNurseShammy's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I strongly disagree that psych and soci don't go we'll together. I didn't take them at the same time but, having taken them both, it is my opinion that they definitely overlap and expand upon one another. My only other thought is that it seems like ...

13. Is this insane?

    lace_face posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    In the spring, I will be taking 12 hours: A&P II, Micro and Intro to Chem. I am really wanting to pick up a 9 week CNA course on Saturdays as well... I have two kids and I commute an hour to school but I really just want to get all of this out ...

14. What classes did you pair with A&P I (Anatomy)?

    lace_face replied to queserasera's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I took A&P I with Speech, Government II and Statistics. I don't work either and I felt that it was a pretty reasonable course load. I ended up with 3 A's and a B (in stats - yuck!).

15. Seeking advice from experienced RNs

    lace_face replied to lace_face's topic in Pre-Nursing

    It is just a regular Associate of Science degree. I wasn't sure what I wanted to major in at first so I took a lot of generic basics my first couple of semesters. I am choosing to participate in graduation simply because I have all the credits!I li...
