1. I have one day to study all this -__- HELP!

   applejackcrunch replied to Clodoveo's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Use your own body to visualize the muscles. Easiest way would be to get a list and point them out on your body (or someone willing to help, but your body would be better because it'll be there during the test ) until you're able to master as much a...

2. Textbook Question

   applejackcrunch replied to katie_n's topic in General Students

   I kept my A&P text from my first AAS, and luckily I can use it this fall for my nursing pre-req advanced A&P. I bought that, used, for $30 three years ago- renting it would have been about $50 more this year. I bought a "like new" micro boo...

3. Becoming a CNA before starting school.

   applejackcrunch replied to bear94's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm honestly really surprised that my school hasn't made their acute-care CNA course a pre-req for nursing too. I'm sure it's coming, might end up taking that as an extra elective if I can swing it with financial aid.

4. TORCH complex

   applejackcrunch replied to lolo8764's topic in Student Assist

   I know this isn't really on topic now that the question has been answered but I know sometimes this diagnostic test vs screening question pops up (not necessarily here but definitely in patient questions) and hey, I have this handy-dandy flowchart fr...

5. How should I plan for my classes the next year?

   applejackcrunch replied to humboldt13's topic in Pre-Nursing

   My school requires CNA certification as an admission requirement to start the core nursing courses. Personally I think it's a good idea to do the CNA course before starting core courses even if it's not required to A) earn some extra cash for those ...

6. What do you do to Prepare?

   applejackcrunch replied to Idiosyncratic's topic in Pre-Nursing

   School starts on August 19th for me and I'm finishing up my pre reqs (aside from CNA, which will be next semester) with two science classes and a psych class. So to get ahead (also so I can feel more confident in getting A's and working at the same ...

7. RN PROGRAM

   applejackcrunch replied to chove's topic in Pre-Nursing

   The Wisconsin Technical College System might be a good idea if you're looking for an affordable education. MATC has a good ADN program, but it sounds like you're going to have to take classes again anyway even if you go through B&S, and what are...

8. Should I take Biology Lab before Anatomy?

   applejackcrunch replied to mirandataylor's topic in Pre-Nursing

   If biology isn't a required course you would probably be okay with skipping it, especially since you've had kind of an intro to A&P in high school. My school recommended taking bio before A&P, but since it wasn't a requirement for my program...

9. Case study...

   applejackcrunch replied to Music in My Heart's topic in Student Assist

   (Not a nursing student yet but I love reading these and trying to work through all of the thought processes that are posted, it's fun!) Since he's drunk he wouldn't be at risk for withdrawal symptoms, correct? Didn't see anything about a BAC but I f...

10. Seeking experiences with bookrenter.com

    applejackcrunch replied to pmabraham's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I use only Chegg or Amazon. Some of the books I've gotten from Chegg have been a bit beaten up or marked up but they're definitely better than paying $150+; in some cases I rented for a tiny fraction of that, or even bought the used text for around ...

11. Courses you found useful...

    applejackcrunch replied to yopinkman's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I finished an AAS in Health Information Management this past spring. Electronic Medical Records classes are a great way to learn how to do charting, and especially learning about HIPAA laws and other state and federal regulations regarding medical r...

12. Nursing school or Paramedic school first?

    applejackcrunch replied to Strazku's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I know quite a few people who started out in EMT programs and then gained experience while in nursing school. That would be the route I would choose if I was interested in that kind of career, at least.

    I showed my boyfriend that story and this was his first reaction haha. And then there was this...

15. Will losing accreditation affect me in the future?

    Ah, I apologize! Thank you for correcting me. :)
