   blr3 replied to EPS's topic in COVID

   blr3 replied to Michelle747's topic in General Students

   Umm....I've never heard of these formulas. We use dimensional analysis. The answer I came up with is 0.2 mL.

4. Everyone is white?

   blr3 replied to eacue's topic in General Nursing

   Personally, I’d want to be hired for my skills and what I can bring to the company. Not by the color of my skin. I’d also want to work with people who were competent and not just hired to make things “even.”

   What discrimination? Were you hired?

6. Nervous about math in nursing school!!!

   blr3 replied to Ashley012009's topic in General Students

   I am not great at math. However, we were taught dimensional analysis and I get that. You will have to know conversions such as cups to ounces to mL, etc.

   blr3 replied to Mleigh84's topic in School Programs

   I also want to say that Union is a Christ-centered school. We are being trained to be the hands and feet of Christ. We pray before classes/exams and have devotions periodically. They don’t trick you into thinking they’re anything but that. It’s all o...

   I’m not sure what issues this person has had. Apparently they were not accepted to the graduate program he/she wanted. So, I don’t understand why applying would have been so detrimental to his/her life.

    blr3 replied to Fav1892's topic in Tennessee

    Don't be nervous. My story sounds a lot like yours. My first year in college was horrible. I was pregnant and life hit. I did some classes through APSU a few years later. When I decided to return to school 4 years ago, I was returning with a 1.07 GPA...

    @Fav1892 my GPA for my last GPA was 3.8. I have one B and an A-. However, looking at my NCAS application my overall GPA barely made the cut-off. It is a 3.07. I had some horrible grades when I first went to college. I was pregnant and the stress just...

    I start the ABSN program at UU in January. I also used to live on Fort Campbell. I think an accelerated program is doable with kids. Just have to be determined. I wish you the best in your decision.
