  1. Apologies if someone has already said this, but Khan Academy videos did me wonders in my pathophysiology course. It really dumbs things down to help you understand those things that the text talks...

    Sick of the BS

    The further I read into your post, the more I realized that it's more than likely that you are the problem. Most of your post was simply telling us about how great you are. And as a minority myself,...
  3. I'll be 34 when I graduate this December and I'm not even close to being the oldest one in my class. We have several people in their 40's and a couple in their

    We need Biology 101 before A P 201 right?

    You should contact an advisor at your school. All schools are different when it comes to

    Item for nursing school

    I wouldn't get an Apple Watch JUST for nursing school. Like others have stated, a cheap watch from Wal-Mart with a second hand will do just fine. However, if you have an Iphone and and would use an...

    Facility not allowing us patient contact

    It seems like there is a major communication issue between your clinical facility, clinical instructor, and instructor for the didactic portion. I've never heard of a clinical rotation where students...

    Question for nurses that are male...

    I don't get offended by it, but I can see why others might. I don't think many people use the term "male nurse" in a derogatory way. Our society just has a stigma to it that males belong in certain...

    Nursing school

    A majority of people that fail out of nursing school do so because they simply don't put in the required effort. Lots of people will do fine on their pre-reqs while putting in minimal effort, but...

    Med surg 1 clinical

    Your experience is very similar to what I experienced during my Med/Surg I clinical. Just to verify, My Med/Surg I is the second semester nursing course. Our instructor had us do nothing but CNA...

    iPads/ tablet utilization

    As far as nursing students go, I highly recommend investing in a laptop. It doesn't have to be super fancy, but it'll be much better than a tablet for coursework. Most nursing programs these days...

    3.6 GPA: the likelihood of getting into nursing school

    Like you stated, the competitiveness of the school is a huge variable as to your likeliness of success. I've know people with a near 4.0 GPA get rejected from one school, while someone with a 2.5...

    Male Student in OB Rotation

    I'm not sure what I said that leads you to believe I have a victim mentality. I stated that it doesn't bother me if people refuse my care. It seems like you need to work on your attention to detail....

    Male Student in OB Rotation

    I'm a male currently in an OB rotation as well. Unfortunately for us, patients have the right to refuse us as caretakers. I noticed someone else commented that it's a person's right to refuse...

    Online Nursing Classes

    Just to reiterate what the previous person said, I'd check with your school to see what they accept for those courses. Many schools (mine included) force you to go through their Pharm and Patho...
  17. I was in a situation similar to yours. I went to a community college when I was still in high school. I only did it to get out of going to my regular high school classes. I was way too immature for...

    Math requirement for RNs?

    I'm currently in an ADN program. College Algebra was required before even applying to nursing school, then we had to take a math test in first semester which we were required to score 100% before...
  20. I realize this post is a little dated, but thought I'd throw in my two cents to anyone googling the subject. As of now (April 2017) KCKCC only accepts two applicants per semester that do not live in...
