  1. Professor Bloopers

    JeanettePNP posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What is the dumbest/most ignorant thing you have heard a professor say? Here are some of mine: From my Biology prof: Photosynthesis is an example of matter being created out of energy. There is no...

  2. Cure for whiny negative nurses - PET PEEVE game. Always read first post before entry.

    JeanettePNP replied to UKRNinUSA's topic in Nursing Humor

    Pet Peeve: Doctors/nurses/anyone doing an examination or procedure on a patient while on the phone or otherwise distracted. Sounds like something that should never, ever happen but it does! My...

  3. The big picture vs. the details

    JeanettePNP posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm going to vent a little here and I hope that there are others who share my frustration! Does anyone feel that in their science courses there is too much of an emphasis on minor details rather than...

  4. The big picture vs. the details

    JeanettePNP replied to JeanettePNP's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well I'm on top of the class so I"m not too worried, and I do remember a lot more than I thought I would. It's just a lot more than I ever thought I'd want to know Up to a certain point everything...

  5. You are only taking one class.... It's no wonder you are getting an A!

    JeanettePNP replied to luvmy3kids's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    2-3 hours a day? A week? A semester? If I know this is what I need to do, I will factor it in when scheduling the classes and make sure I can work my schedule around extra lab time. Well I'm not...

  6. Bachelors or RN?

    JeanettePNP replied to sara29's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I thought it was going to be another BSN vs. ADN debate. As far as what direction your education should take... what are your interests? Is nursing something that excites you? Do you/would you...

  7. You are only taking one class.... It's no wonder you are getting an A!

    JeanettePNP replied to luvmy3kids's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I haven't taken any labs yet, but is it really necessary to spend hours upon hours in the lab in order to do well? I have kids and a job, and while I can study at home for as many hours as I need to,...

  8. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    JeanettePNP replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    Now that's smart. I wonder why more hospitals don't do

  9. The evil reign of PowerPoint Lectures

    JeanettePNP replied to agoodusername's topic in General Students

    OMG this describes my cell bio class to a T. Pretty much 75% of the class has stopped going to lectures; I always do a double take at exam time to see how full the room is! She also does not speak...

  10. Why we've lost the health in healthcare

    JeanettePNP replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Sure they are, but they are paid less and require less training than MDs. Poor choice of words in the article, I

  11. You are only taking one class.... It's no wonder you are getting an A!

    JeanettePNP replied to luvmy3kids's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The difference is that once you're in, you're in, and as long as you can maintain a C average you don't have that pressure over grades. Until I get accepted into nursing school I need a 4.0 or as...

  12. You are only taking one class.... It's no wonder you are getting an A!

    JeanettePNP replied to luvmy3kids's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'll add my 2c here.... I agree with the posters that said you have to organize your life the way it works for you. Who cares if someone else takes 5 classes and works 40 hours a week and bakes fresh...

  14. Hodgepodge of credits

    JeanettePNP posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Question: Does it look bad on a nursing school application if you have a hodgepodge of credits from different schools? I started out this semester at a school that does not have a nursing program....

  15. Are we all old???

    JeanettePNP replied to np_wannabe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes! I am also making the top grades in all my classes. My time-management and study skills are much better than my peers, and I seem to have a better sense of what's important and what's not. When...

  16. Transferring credits - nursing school not being helpful

    JeanettePNP posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So, I called the nursing school that I want to apply to, to find out which tranfer credits they will accept from the school I am in now. The school I'm in now has a good reputation and it's also the...

  17. Taking anatomy and physiology separately

    JeanettePNP posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The school I'm in offers anatomy and physiology as two separate courses. To me it makes more sense to do A&P together and learn the whole system at once. Has anyone else taken separate A and P?...

  18. Depression, schizophrenia, while going through pre-reqs?

    JeanettePNP replied to narcissistic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It sounds like you know what the problem is and what you need to do to get around it. I'm with you that diet and exercise (and attitude) can take care of most mental health issues for most people....

  19. How important are grades?

    JeanettePNP posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am now taking 2 prereqs for nursing - bio and English comp. I'm sure I can ace the bio with hard work and studying but the English I'm not so sure about. I have good writing skills but the...

  20. How important are grades?

    JeanettePNP replied to JeanettePNP's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Good idea. Right now I'm looking at about 4 different programs but they're all quite competitive so I need the highest grades I can

    That sounds like a good plan. Thanks for your input

  22. How important are grades?

    JeanettePNP replied to JeanettePNP's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not sure yet where I'm applying or how long it will take me to get through pre-reqs. I'm going back to school at age 33 with 5 children so I"m taking things very slow for now. The difference...

    JeanettePNP replied to LoriAlabamaRN's topic in Nursing Humor
