    Anyone else think pre-reqs are easy?

    Multicollinearity replied to txnursingqt's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wish the nursing pre-reqs required more critical thinking. It seems like the courses are a lot of work in memorizing...not thinking at a higher level necessary for nursing, IMHO. I have gotten...

    Patients on Medicaid

    Multicollinearity replied to DiEd's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This kind of thing could happen to anyone. I've heard numerous stories like this over the years. Another seldom-discussed issue with health insurance and employment is how smaller employers often...

    Patients on Medicaid

    Multicollinearity replied to DiEd's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If anyone doubts whether medicaid is insurance or not, just call your state's Department of Insurance (or Insurance Commissioner in some states) and ask if they can help you with trouble you are...

    Patients on Medicaid

    Multicollinearity replied to DiEd's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The state permitted you to be covered by paying the government a small portion of the expense of the government program. Paying a small portion ($65) to a government agency does not equate to a...

    Patients on Medicaid

    Multicollinearity replied to DiEd's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    i agree with your sentiment and motivation. the terminology is a pet peeve of mine. there is a big difference between a legal insurance contract and government assistance programs. legally, medicaid...

    Patients on Medicaid

    Multicollinearity replied to DiEd's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    As much as I am reticent to point this out, I have to. Legally, medicaid is not insurance. Insurance is a contract between a policyholder and a licensed private insurance company, insurance...

    I feel like a complete idiot in my chemistry lab and so embarrassed!!!

    Multicollinearity replied to Susanna23's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Personally, I would not report the TA to the instructor. I would view that as me not taking care of my own problems. I think I would only report gross misconduct and students cheating to an...

    Bless your heart. You will be just fine. I agree about practicing lighting matches at home. (I hated lighting the bunsen burner,

    Patients on Medicaid

    Multicollinearity replied to DiEd's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I understand L P N to B's viewpoint. She's working full-time and going to school full-time while raising a family. She's working extremely hard and needed a bit of help (medicaid) and it just plain...

    Prayer and patient care.

    Multicollinearity replied to WhiteFlowerRN's topic in General Nursing

    Good point, leslie. I hadn't considered that the social workers might not get as intimate. In fact, for some odd reason, I was thinking the opposite. I'm not sure why I did

    Prayer and patient care.

    Multicollinearity replied to WhiteFlowerRN's topic in General Nursing

    With the various religious threads here on this board in mind, I asked my good friend who's a hospice social worker about what she does when patients ask her about anything related to God and faith....

    Multicollinearity replied to WhiteFlowerRN's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, believe me, I do understand because I have been there! I saw a service so crazy once - this man 'passed out' on stage. But before he fully 'went out' he acted like he was being electrocuted,...

    Nurses marrying doctors

    Multicollinearity replied to Cqc_Cqb's topic in General Nursing

    I know this is prejudicial of me, but I view physicians with leary/wary eyes when it comes to dating. I think many of them tend to be germy and I imagine the STDs they could have. It's like they...

    Multicollinearity replied to DiEd's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    When I was a child, my father became permanently disabled. We went from our nice upper middle class lifestyle, to on welfare and medicaid, after exhausting our own resources. I can still remember...

    What do you do to keep up at night to study?

    Multicollinearity replied to JBGC4's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm surprised at how far I can push myself and how efficient my brain continues to be, LOL. I would have never thought I could do all-nighters and then go to an exam the next day and ace it. But I...

    Multicollinearity replied to serendipity123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know in high school I vowed to never study after leaving the school grounds. It's like I had this line in the sand. College is totally different! I'd recommend getting organized by getting a...

    How hard is Micro

    Multicollinearity replied to RNtobe24's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think it always has to do with being science savvy or not. I'm taking organic chemistry right now, and it is easy compared to my micro class. I just think that classes vary greatly...

    Hate my Micro lab partner........3 more months of this......ugh!

    Multicollinearity replied to livinglighthouse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm sorry. That's got to be rough. She must have some troubles, and I'd bet that her "perfect" life isn't so perfect. Those with means don't usually talk about it. Do you think she might be putting up...

    How hard is Micro

    Multicollinearity replied to RNtobe24's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Micro classes seem to vary widely, more so than other science classes. My micro class was the hardest class I've ever taken. It was just as much information as A&P plus it was conceptually much...

    Anatomy & Physiology2 ONLINE Course

    Multicollinearity replied to newgradERrn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took micro through Rio. Actually, I seem to recall something from Rio's own website saying they "facilitate learning" rather than instruct. In other words, just like you said, your course is your...

    BSN vs Bachelor's + RN School

    Multicollinearity replied to jjjoy's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I just noticed that I did not answer your question. I was too busy (self-absorbed) sharing the life and times of a pre-nursing student (me) jockying for admission to multiple ADN and BSN programs....

    BSN vs Bachelor's + RN School

    Multicollinearity replied to jjjoy's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I just looked at the pre-reqs I referred to above. It looks like one BSN program's pre-reqs could be done in 1.5 years, then wait one semester taking liberal arts, and then start the 2.5 years of core...
