  1. Statistics without recent algebra?

    tofutti posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yay or nay? People tell me they didn't even use all the algebra pre-req's in their stats class. But the teachers say it's a big deal. My algebra is old, but I do remember it. It's the ti-89...

  2. Advice for new CNA in LTC?

    tofutti posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Hi, I applied for a cna job while I wait 5 months for nursing school to start, and I'm pretty sure I'll be offered the job. Just wondering if you have any advice or survival suggestions for me? I...

  3. Wild Color Stethoscope?

    tofutti posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Do you think, if I buy a fun colored stethoscope like pink or orange, people won't take me

  4. Is this true about Linfield?

    tofutti posted a topic in Oregon Nursing

    I've read here, and heard from others, that Linfield has more of a community health emphasis. And that their graduates get shortchanged on hospital clinical time, leaving them feeling unprepared....

  5. How long can you put off nclex after graduation?

    tofutti posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I know most people want to know how soon you can take it after graduation, and I imagine you wouldn't want to wait too long or you would forget material. But do people ever wait, say 3-4 months...

  6. CCC A & P teachers - anyone had Watson or Kop?

    tofutti replied to tejon's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Tejon, You got it: Good Luck! I'm pretty sure you're going to be happy with him. He's a very kind & patient person, and is good at explaining things with cartoony analogies where he attributes...

  7. CCC A & P teachers - anyone had Watson or Kop?

    tofutti replied to tejon's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Watson: Is he a rockstar of an a&p teacher? I don't know. But I took him for another science class, got an A, and enjoyed his personality a lot. When his lectures wandered into a&p type...

  8. Blood type...HELP!

    tofutti replied to MA Nurse's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Two B's can have an O if they're both heterozygous. But what blood type was the mailman? :)

  9. Nervously declined

    tofutti replied to NurseJeanB's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    JB, I did that for awhile too--sat on 2 acceptance letters to think it over. Because what if I chose one school and then, say, a meteor landed on it? And I had no option b? Congrats on getting in...

  10. So Confused! Programs hard to get into

    tofutti replied to Rtkam's topic in Oregon Nursing

    OHSU also offers an accelerated BSN. The odds of getting into PCC are slim. Personally, I'm afraid of the implications of the word "accelerated" for my health and happiness. But many do

  11. UP Providence Scholarship

    tofutti replied to KrisPDX's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Still stalking mailman...I think if I actually got the prov scholarship I would take it. But it makes me feel better to say I don't want it. Coping mechanism ya know? :monkeydance:

  12. UP Providence Scholarship

    tofutti replied to KrisPDX's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Hi Evan, Were you able to get a facility and department that you wanted for your new grad job? That's my biggest concern. Hi Kris, I agree with you, I don't know how they'll decide which 20 get it,...

  14. UP Providence Scholarship

    tofutti replied to KrisPDX's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Hi Kris, I'm waiting on that letter too. I'm still on the fence over whether I would take them up on it though, because of the strings attached. The students I saw on interview day seemed like a...

  15. wedding rings at work

    tofutti posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi All, I'm just curious if nurses even wear their wedding rings at work. Does it get in the way when you put gloves on, or get full of soap and lotion gunk? Scratch people? Do you wish you had a...

  16. Advice from Last Year Nursing Student

    tofutti replied to CrazyHands's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm a new student, just got my Potter & Perry book and whoa nelly, I'm so glad I took that stinkin' chemistry. Especially when I flip ahead to the fluid and electrolyte

  17. Which would you choose, and why?

    tofutti posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Option A: Good Quality ADN program, 1 hour away, starts asap, total cost for 2 years will be $8,000. Can complete RN-BSN after that, mostly online, for $10,000 more, while working. Option B: Good...

  18. Re: Greetings from Oregon!

    tofutti replied to ChristyPortland's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Hi Christy, Yes you can get student loans to cover your cost of living expenses too. The loans can be through a federal student loan program or a bank or wherever you like. Well worth it for an...

  19. Which RN school to choose??? Exp RNs and current students please give advice!!!

    tofutti replied to CiCigirl's topic in General Nursing

    CiCi Girl, There is an accelerated 15 month program nearby I could have done but I was afraid I wouldn't get enough clinical time, or that my mind would be overloaded and it wouldn't have time to...

  20. Which RN school to choose??? Exp RNs and current students please give advice!!!

    tofutti replied to CiCigirl's topic in General Nursing

    Hi CiCi Girl, One thing to consider: wouldn't the extra year at the longer program cost you $50,000 in lost income? Because if you had the RN one year sooner, you could work that year. That would...

  21. Statistics

    tofutti replied to JaxiaKiley's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm only two weeks into my stats class, but it's not hard! Just know the order of operations: grouping, exponents, multiply & divide, add & subtract. I have a good base of high school algebra,...

  23. HELP! Best advice on passing Anatomy & Physiology?!!

    tofutti replied to mstyd's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    This thread reminds me of one of my a/p teachers telling us some very naughty poems to memorize mnemonics. Like the other person said, things that evoke emotion (or shock-like naughty poems!) stick...

  24. Statistics without recent algebra?

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

    Thanks for all the good feedback. I went to the first day of class and it looks totally doable. The teacher told everyone she didn't even know why they had all the algebra prereq's for stats, and...

  25. Math Help anyone!!!!

    tofutti replied to shippoRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I see you solved it. For order of operations I memorized this little acronym: GEMA. It stands for grouping, exponents, multiply and divide, add and subtract. That little gem has saved me from...
