Nope no relation at all. Also never covered in previous semesters either. Professor hasn’t gotten back to me and won’t acknowledge it in class.

I'm in my 2nd semester of a concepts-based A.S. degree program, and I have found more than a few test questions that have direct answers linked to readings outside our assigned pages for that specific test... like if we had assigned pages 1300-1400, I would find an answer on the test from page 500. Obviously, I am not naming specifics, but... why does nursing school test you on material OUTSIDE of the pages they assign? How are we supposed to know THAT information? Is this fair or should I report this to some agency or something!? Truly frustrated... ><

Not the be rude, but your English is horrible: "I got my rn license in August of 2017. It is not February 2018 and I still having been able to secure a job. I have associate of science and currently in schoo doing the bsn.I live in south Florida. Why is it so hard to get a job? I'm not even getting interviews. What can I do to increase my chances of getting a job? I thought there was a shortage of nurses." Once you clean up your English, you should be able to secure a job. Maybe...

Hello! I am taking A&P I at my state college, and I wanted to know which of the few scenarios is best for me. I decided to work full time and take a condensed 6 week course. Bad idea: 1. Making a C in the class and bringing my GPA down a bit. 2. Forcing a D and retaking the class(through grade forgiveness) and potentially (probably) getting an A in it, keeping my GPA high. 3. Forcing an F and retaking the class(through grade forgiveness) and potentially (probably) getting an A in it, keeping my GPA high. How do these scenarios affect my chances of getting into my state college's nursing program, if all other grades so far are only A's and B's? My thoughts and what I've read: A. I read on many forums that taking the D/F and retaking the class, having the new grade completely replace the D/F would be a better option. This would keep my GPA high. However, the D/F still stays on my transcript, but is not used to calculate my GPA. B. I've also read that taking the C and letting it bring my GPA down is better because it shows the nursing school application reviewers that I passed the class the first time, albeit with a C. C. I've also read that showing an F (+retake A/B) is much better than showing a D(+retake A/B) because it is ambiguous as to why that occurred. Having a D shows I still tried but couldn't attain a C in the course. What are your thoughts on this? *If you were wondering, I CANNOT withdraw from this course, as it is linked to my lab course and that lab course withdraw date already expired. I am ending the semester with an A in lab by the way.

Thanks for all the comments! Yes I have a CGM and I use it religiously. It's best thing for diabetics since sliced bread, literally. Also, I have it managed pretty well, I can fully control whether the blood sugar goes up or down from my diet (ketogenic). As for the coding thing, that sounds great that there is always help in case I need to step out for a quick blood sugar raise. Side question: Does anyone know about any CRNAs who are Type 1? I would love to work my way up to becoming a CRNA as my advanced practice degree!

Hello! I'm a lifelong type 1 diabetic who is interested in starting a nursing career. Before I commit myself, I need to make sure this is something that I could actually do and do well. Does anyone know of any RNs, CRNAs, or any other allied health professionals who are type 1s as well and what their experience is? The main concern for me is experiencing hypoglycemia in the middle of a code, or any other instance that would require me to be fully attentive for an prolonged amount of time (uninterrupted).
