  1. TEAS algebra word problems

    Biol20fan replied to ED4ME's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh, that's good to know. :) I picked up the sample test book from my college. It's actually really good. I've never been all that great at math, but with the way this book is explaining things, I...

  2. Things Patients Have Taught Me NOT To Do

    Biol20fan replied to Trixxy's topic in Nursing Humor

    Oh it's illegal here, too. Just proves how, um, how shall I put this kindly, not-so-smart some people

  3. Things Patients Have Taught Me NOT To Do

    Biol20fan replied to Trixxy's topic in Nursing Humor

    Something similar happened at one of our local hospitals. A patient was hooked up to oxygen, and had a visitor who oh-so-kindly brought him cigarettes. And matches to light them with. I'm thinking...

  4. students who have applied numerous times

    Biol20fan replied to wish4RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had to wait two-and-a-half years to get into my program (it's a lottery system; I start at the end of May). Another big problem, which goes hand in hand with the schools not having enough funding,...

  5. What do you want to tell Nursing Students?

    Biol20fan replied to jessiern's topic in General Nursing

    When I start school this May, I plan on doing whatever I can (well, whatever is within my realm of capability and responsibility) to help out. I've worked too hard and waited too long to get into the...

  7. TEAS algebra word problems

    Biol20fan replied to ED4ME's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've been taking the online TEAS test; I need to go pick up the study guide this week. I'm having the same issues too. They seem so simple, and yet I'm wracking my brain over how to solve them....

  8. Fresno

    Biol20fan replied to FNPhopeful's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm trying to get into City's program. I would try for State, but from what I've heard, the City program gives you a lot more clinical experience [and the starting GPA for acceptance into the State...

  9. Maybe nursing isn't for me

    Biol20fan replied to Keely-FutureRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think almost everybody has been in this boat at one time or another I took a full course load last semester, including Microbiology, Human Physiology, and Medical Terminology. Plus, I have two...

  10. How many applicants are you "competing" against?

    Biol20fan replied to jaysma's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow, I guess I shouldn't feel so bad - some of those odds are outrageous! The school I applied at has 50 slots per Fall and Spring semesters, and I've been told that around 400+ apply for each....

  11. I am Sooooo jealous!!

    Biol20fan replied to meb1118's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    LOL, I can soooo identify with what you are saying!. I turned in my app about three weeks ago, and I won't find out for at least three more if I will be accepted or not. The waiting is agonizing,...

  12. What is a "Code Black"?

    Biol20fan replied to sugabuga's topic in General Nursing

    Me too! And I had the same question, wanting to know what a Code Black was. I just knew that if I came on this board, I'd find the

  13. Share your mnemonics and tricks

    Biol20fan replied to Teachchildren123's topic in Nursing Humor

    I'm sure some of you have seen these before, but they really helped me out: Remembering Cranial Nerves On Olfactory Old Optic Olympus' Oculomotor Towering Trochlear Top...

  14. Yes I Would Recommend Nursing!

    Biol20fan replied to jalvino1's topic in Nursing Career

    THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! I've printed out a few of the posts on this thread to keep as a reminder to myself why I am going to nursing school. *going to get a tissue to wipe my tears* I want...

  15. Do you always have to wait on a list to get in?

    Biol20fan replied to justagirl992's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm putting apps into the local hospitals, hoping to find any type of job I am qualified for. I'm doing that because a) I need money , and b) I think it would be a good idea for me to get the feel...

  16. Do you always have to wait on a list to get in?

    Biol20fan replied to justagirl992's topic in Nursing Career

    I know at the school I want to attend, which is the cc I've been going to, there is a lottery to get into the program itself because it (the RN program) is so impacted. There is no wait list to get...

  17. Nurses and Nursing Students: what was/is your biggest pet peeve in nursing school?

    Biol20fan replied to GrnHonu99's topic in General Nursing

    Sadly, I think a lot of people want to get into this field just for the money (which, believe me, is going to be a very nice perk, but it isn't the main reason for me wanting to be a nurse). I bet if...

  18. Nurses and Nursing Students: what was/is your biggest pet peeve in nursing school?

    Biol20fan replied to GrnHonu99's topic in General Nursing

    Both my Human Phys and Micro teachers said that to us (to those of us that knew we were taking both classes at the same time). HA HA, I passed both...and I figure they might have been saying it to...

  19. Nurses and Nursing Students: what was/is your biggest pet peeve in nursing school?

    Biol20fan replied to GrnHonu99's topic in General Nursing

    OK, I know this was posted a long time ago, but I'm a newbie to the board and I'm having sooo much fun reading through this thread :) Makes me feel better knowing that I'm not the only one who feels...
