    want to drop chemistry

    If your school allows you to drop it then go for it. On the other hand, you still need it in order to take micro, right? For me it was also a requirement for physio. You're not doing yourself any...
  2. Asking for one month to think it over is wayyyyy too much... even in a better economy. A week might be reasonable if you've got a good reason (relocation, child care conflicts, etc) to wait....

    what to ask during an interwiew

    Another good line of questioning pertains to what kinds of professional development resources are available. Do they provide in-house CE classes? Do they subsidize things like ACLS, PALS,

    what to ask during an interwiew

    I'm still a nursing student so I could be wrong on this but in my former profession (technology) it was understood that one never asked about things like pay, benefits, or vacation in an interview....

    Hello Everyone

    Well, these days many new grads are having a tough time finding a hospital that will pay them a salary, let alone pay for their education. I would not count on
  6. How do you tell an RT from an RN? Put both neck-deep in a vat of puke and then chuck gobs of sputum at them. The RNs are the ones who duck. Personally, the breadth of nursing appeals to me as does the...

    OB Rotation is Hell

    We've seen clear bias against the guys by the L&D nurses in our clinical settings. Unfortunate but not surprising. It's just one rotation, though, and I don't want to be an L&D nurse,
  8. I'd also point out that this is simply a blog... anybody can set up a WordPress blog and say whatever they wish with no editorial oversight whatsoever. That said, the "shortage" myth seems to be being...
  9. Part of it depends on what you like about health care. In the acute-care setting, the RTs have a little bit of contact with a bunch of patients; the RNs have a bunch of contact with just a few...

    So Many Students! Will Shortage Now End?

    Sure, there will always be a need. But will the need meet or exceed the supply? I'm thinking

    Of all the courses, which was most difficult for you?

    Easiest: Community health... pretty much common sense. Hardest: Pharmacology -- not conceptually difficult, just a large volume of material that keeps coming. Favorite: Pathophysiology and...

    So Many Students! Will Shortage Now End?

    Highly likely, in my opinion... though it depends, to some degree, on where you want to work. You do realize, I hope, that the nursing profession and the medical profession are not one-and-the-same....

    Why do teachers tr to fail you???

    Even if 90% of the students in ONE class don't perform well I'd still not be ready to blame the instructor. If it persisted over several sessions then I'd have to conclude that there's a problem......

    Why do teachers tr to fail you???

    It's interesting to me how we've decided that if a substantial portion of a class fails - or even just gets C's - somehow it's a reflection on the teacher rather than an indication that a substantial...

    As a guy I've often asked myself, "Why is a girl like her with a jerk like that?" It sounds like an appropriate question in this

    Why do teachers tr to fail you???

    I also don't think it's generally appropriate to point at the profs and start accusing them of being "unfair." I've had three teachers (analytical chemistry, genetics, and microbiology) who all had...

    Failing nursing student seeking advice

    Geez, I don't know. If the semester's almost done and you KNOW you can't get the A's that they require of you then I guess I'd start trying to figure out how to recover. 1) Personally, I'd go to each...

    Electrolyte questions, not sure on answer

    Well, proportion doesn't imply directly or inversely. Strictly speaking, of course, it's not the inverse log but rather the log of the inverse. Regardless, pH relates to hydrogen ion concentration......
