  1. CNA vs. Nurse: Too saturated or huge need?

    morbidlycurious replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    @Beldar_the_Cenobite Hey Beldar, did you get your financial aid award letter already? I'm trying to figure out my financial aid stuff but can't seem to get any answers about anything. Also,...

  2. ATI Critical Thinking Exam

    morbidlycurious replied to RN2020scm's topic in General Students

    Pretty sure ATI only does one Critical Thinking Test, so i'm sure that you'd be looking at the same test that we

  3. I don't want to give up on nursing....west cost university :(

    morbidlycurious replied to New2block's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Actually a lot of schools ask for all prior transcripts from all institutions attended. Purposely hiding this information is considered grounds for dismissal. Otherwise, i agree with everything. LPN...

  4. Is Nursing Becoming Over-Saturated?

    morbidlycurious replied to Mr. Confused's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ho boy. So a lot of people on this site would tell you that yes, the job market is over saturated and employers only want BSNs. With that said, some of this will depend on where you live, but my...

  5. ATI Critical Thinking Exam

    morbidlycurious replied to RN2020scm's topic in General Students

    That's great! I don't see too much information about the ATI critical thinking test online - glad that I could help

  6. Hands

    morbidlycurious replied to dream'n's topic in General Nursing

    Mine are horrible too. For me, it seems like the only time that I can hold onto moisture from lotions is if I use baby/mineral oil afterwards. And even that is not a permanent fix, but it does feel...

  7. Stethoscope

    morbidlycurious replied to araew2129's topic in General Students

    I have not decided yet either, but I will point out that the Classic III comes with a 5 year warranty, where the Cardio has a 7 year warranty. If you decide on the Cardio, you may want to spend the...

  8. Would repeating a prerequisite hurt my chance of getting in?

    morbidlycurious replied to stormii's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wouldn't take general chemistry unless 1. you want to go to a school that will only accept that particular chemistry class, or 2. you have biology or chemistry as a back up major. That being said,...

  9. Alternate List

    morbidlycurious replied to Ashenx's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would apply to the program that's close to you. You never know what kind of financial package they might offer you. Also, with your pre-requisites out of the way, you may be paying less than 8k a...

  10. Really need help

    morbidlycurious replied to laurelgoodwin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Fastest path to an RN license is an associates degree (think community college; also cheap) or diploma program (around 20 months), although I would only recommend one of those if it is offered at a...

  11. Pre-Nursing!!!

    morbidlycurious replied to Missfuturenurse19's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Check out the professors from your school who teach the classes on ratemyprofessor. Every school is different, but you should be able to get a good idea of how hard the class is by what previous...

  12. Microbiology this summer. Am I crazy?

    morbidlycurious replied to NeedASugarDaddyOrSomething's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I found microbiology to be a lot of memorization while A&P2 was more big concepts. LOTS of flashcards for micro, and flow charts for A&P2. I would take them together in the fall and nothing...

  13. White Nursing Student Shoes

    morbidlycurious replied to jsm1917's topic in General Students

    I've checked the uniform stores near me, and none carry white. The sales associate told me that this is because only nursing students buy white ? super helpful! You can check out any uniform stores...

  14. Nursing Student dilemma

    morbidlycurious replied to PupilNursing's topic in General Students

    I believe that most schools want transcripts from all institutions attended. Even if you withdraw. I think that a withdraw of courses would look better than an F, but you are most likely going to have...

  15. I have DUIs on my past record.

    morbidlycurious replied to Domino2019's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Dang. I am in near the same position, so my two cents is limited to my experience. What I did was first was checked with my state board of nursing, to see if my convictions will prohibit me from...

  16. Nail Manicures

    morbidlycurious replied to SamiGee's topic in General Nursing

    Right now I'm rocking natural nails, but when I wear gel polish, I have them on the short side in a neutral color. I can usually get away with almost 4 weeks, with using hand lotion regularly....

  17. ATI Critical Thinking Exam

    morbidlycurious replied to RN2020scm's topic in General Students

    Pretty much. My test only had two hospital related questions - something like "an older gentleman repeated reports having severe pain." Do you : A. Assume he is just complaining. B. Ignore him and...

  18. Took a class I didnt need.. frustrated

    morbidlycurious replied to FutureNurseWard's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    All of the schools around here require Developmental psych as well, as either a prerequisite or as part of a nursing bachelor's. I actually just retook it as a refresher and because the programs...

  19. "Certified court papers"

    morbidlycurious posted a topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Hello all, I keep reading about having to submit "certified court papers" when I apply for RN licensure. I was wondering what is all included in those. The police report, or just the charges and...

  20. "Certified court papers"

    morbidlycurious replied to morbidlycurious's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Thank you for the information!! The only thing that I can find for my state (Pennsylvania), is that they contact applicants if additional information is needed after the BON receives the State police...

  21. Anatomy and Physiology II

    morbidlycurious replied to Louise101's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Was this an advanced placement style class, or were you dual enrollment with a college at the time? It's been a while since I've been in high school, but the anatomy class that I took in high school...

  22. Help- will not finish Hep B immunization before clinicals

    morbidlycurious replied to bfg1997's topic in General Students

    I've noticed that the schools around here only notify students of their acceptance a few months prior to starting. So this must be a somewhat common occurrence. I'm sure that you won't be the first...

  23. Rebuilding your grades

    morbidlycurious replied to britbrat16678's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My experience with the nursing schools that I've applied to is that they take your pre-requisite grades into greater consideration than your overall GPA. I didn't know what I wanted to do the first...

  24. Laptop vs IPad for note taking

    morbidlycurious replied to LilBit94's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    If you know what books you'll be using, I'd check used books prices online starting like the first week after the end of this semester. That's probably when most people will be trying to sell theirs,...

  25. Laptop vs IPad for note taking

    morbidlycurious replied to LilBit94's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I have a Kindle, and I've been able to read books on my laptop using my account. I used a chromebook, but I am sure that they make an App for MacBook/iPad as well! Personally, I will always prefer...
