  1. Hate this OB/PEDS rotation!!!

    idk if you realized this or not but this thread is a little over a year and a half old. Just and observation and nothing
  2. I feel like I'm being singled out VENT

    i am sorry that you have gotten to a point that you feel like quitting because of your instructors. someone had mentioned earlier that your post had a slight arrogant tone and i agree. i am not...
  3. Need some guidance on A&PII and Micobiology

    Think of it like this. The 6 months are going to pass regardless. I think it would be far wiser to take only one class during the summer. You are going to be much happier w/your A and way less...
  4. Need some guidance on A&PII and Micobiology

    Okay let me get this straight. You got a C in A&P 1 and then you were unable to take A&P 2 w/algebra successfully and ended up withdrawing? Did you take A&P 2 w/algebra during a regular...
  5. Got To Be A Nurse!

    It's been said before but it's true. You need to re-take the science classes and get at the very least 3.7's (since it will be the second time you are taking the same classes you should do better...
  6. Underwear and white scrubs?

    I wear flesh colored panties. They are really easy to find. I got mine on sale at Victoria's Secret. When I wear white shirts I also wear a flesh colored bra and it doesn't show. It's funny, you'd...
  7. I agree with everyone on this. I have never ever heard of a school that does not require prereqs. If there was one they would just be setting you up for failure. You need to know basic anatomy...
  8. LVN or RN?

    If you do a search you will find a lot of threads about this very question. I say go RN. Like coolpeach said, if you go to LVN school but really want to go to RN school and are unable to continue on...

  11. Nursing assistant job I am applying for

    I have been a CNA for awhile now (a little over 5 years) and I know that in my area when hospital jobs open for CNA's there is a stamped! The work is better, the pay is better, the hours are usually...
  12. help!!!!

    Since you have a BS with a potential minor in chemistry I would suggest (re) taking the science prereqs that are specific to nursing. They should come relatively easy for you considering your...
  13. At my school taking A&P 1 & 2 at the same time requires permission of the instructor and most won't allow it. In my A&P 2 class there was a girl that was doing it though. She said it was...
  14. Taking patient's blood pressure

    Alot of people have offered good advice! Here are some of my tips: 1. Obviously make sure that you are using a quality stethoscope since you are slightly hoh. However I don't think you need to...
  15. I was a CNA and then was trained by my floor as a unit secretary. Peronally I hated being a US! You do get to see what a MARS looks like and how it is used. You see what orders look like from MD's...
  16. Finished with Algebra requirements!

    Oh I know the weight your are talking about! I am finished with my prereqs now but I had to take 4 math classes before I was done! I had to take 3 of them before I could even start my sciences....
  17. This Site is Awesome

    Your right this is a really neat site! Becareful though it's kind of addicting! lol!
  18. I think it really depends on your aptitude. I personally loath math so inorganic chemistry was the most difficult for me since most of the stuff we learned revolved around math. Organic chem is...
  19. I will finish my last prereq this fall quarter then I will apply to start in fall of '08. Geesh it seems like it is so far away!!! In the mean time I plan on taking the prereqs I need to bridge to a...
  20. What do you feel is least relevant class?

    I hated inorganic chemistry! I thought is was competely irrelevant! O-chem however focused more on biological systems so I actually enjoyed
  21. The best way to get accurate information is by going to an information session and/or setting up a time to meet with a nursing advisor. It is really difficult to give any advice b/c every school is...
  22. I will apply after this quarter ends which is in March. I am also sooooo excited! I totally understand what you mean. It felt like it would take forever to get to this point....well it ended up...
  23. I am freaking out! Please advise...

    I would get the facts on the pass rate before I started making life changing decisions. It could be that the rumor is false *GASP* and you are getting yourself all worked up for nothing. Do your...
  24. Healthcare experience

    There are a few ways you could go about getting your experience. 1. Become a CNA it is quick relatively easy and many long term care facilities will train you for free, there are also programs at...
  25. DesertRain makes a good point. Are those the minimum requirements? Are there other classes that you could take? B/c if those are the minimum requirements then you can bet you won't get in, b/c...
