  1. Bad Prereq Grades

    JoshuaC replied to NursingStudent08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh, I already got accepted to nursing school. I start on the 21st. The nursing school I applied to doesn't require chemistry as a pre-req, although I already have 6 credit hours worth because the...

  2. Very worried about duties :(

    JoshuaC replied to ProfessionalStudent's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Any job an RN does is directly involved with healthcare. Even if you were working in administration, it still affects people later down the chain. But most RNs don't go to nursing school not to be...

  3. Things that make you go... ehhh errmm ack!

    JoshuaC replied to xt1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've seen some nasty stuff. I can handle it though, so it's no big deal. I just can't stand when I see CNAs complaining about every little thing, saying how nasty everything is. But yeah, poop has...

  4. Very worried about duties :(

    JoshuaC replied to ProfessionalStudent's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nursing is a calling. If you're not getting into nursing because you want help people then you shouldn't be in nursing, period. Not everyone has what it takes to be a

  5. would you enroll here to start sooner

    JoshuaC replied to br107's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That sounds pretty bad. 40% pass rate? Either the teachers are bad or the students are just lazy. And by seeing that you actually wrote "Wouldn't fit in socially" tells me that you're already...

  6. I'm scared of Chemistry!!!!

    JoshuaC replied to maryshome8's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My first advice would be to check out your nursing school's chemistry requirements. I went to UK last semester to do my pre-reqs (ended up going to another nursing school that didn't require...

  7. Very worried about duties :(

    JoshuaC replied to ProfessionalStudent's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You should only go to nursing school if you want to become a nurse. If you go into nursing school just because you couldn't get the hang of Chem. II then you're doing it for all the wrong reasons....

  8. Bad Prereq Grades

    JoshuaC replied to NursingStudent08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you think that taking those classes again will give you better grades, go for it. Many nursing schools are very competitive and the more positives you have going for you the better. Grades are...

  9. Getting to know the men behind the names...

    JoshuaC replied to irwin's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Hey guys, my name's Josh and I'll be 20 pretty soon. During my first year of college I really didn't know what I wanted to do. It wasn't until my second year of college (this past year) when I...

  10. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    JoshuaC replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Maybe for a start they could just give more perks to RN's who have their BSN. Personally I'm going to school to get my ADN but then going right back into school to get my BSN. I have a pretty good...

  11. CPR Class info needed

    JoshuaC replied to clover1602's topic in General Students

    CPR is really easy. Don't sweat

  12. Things that make you go... ehhh errmm ack!

    JoshuaC replied to xt1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can handle most anything that most people would consider "nasty" but the truth is that it never really gets any less "nasty", you just get more used to it. I'm going to nursing school but I've been...

  13. I want to take Micro and Physiology..

    JoshuaC replied to dvas00's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just do it. Last semester I took Anatomy, Physiology, Chemistry, and an English class, and a lab for the PGY class and I did fine. 3.6 GPA for that semester. I think what topped off the hardness...

  14. allheart.com 100% cotton srubs and shrinking issues..

    JoshuaC posted a topic in General Students

    I was looking to buy a pair or two of scrubs from allheart.com because they look pretty decent and they're pretty inexpensive. My only concern is that they are 100% cotton and my fears that they...

  15. allheart.com 100% cotton srubs and shrinking issues..

    JoshuaC replied to JoshuaC's topic in General Students

    Bump...

  16. Anyone Ever take Micro with Physio before?

    JoshuaC replied to OCstudent's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I won't take micro. until next semester I think, and that will be my 2nd semester of nursing school... So go figure. I did take anatomy, physiology, and chemistry all in the same semester (last...

  17. help with A&P II endocrine system

    JoshuaC replied to spb1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Shouldn't your physiology book contain that

  18. What's everyone taking this fall?

    JoshuaC replied to Christinmomof3nrs2be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So far I'm taking my nursing fundamentals class, Anatomy and Physiology II, and an art class. It's funny though because last semester I took Anatomy 209 and Physiology 206, so taking A&P II...

  19. Chemisty vs. Anatomy I&II

    JoshuaC replied to abrainerd's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Chemistry deals a lot with solving equations and figuring out things like that. Anatomy and Physiology deal more with understanding processes and concepts. So it depends on what you're good at...

  20. wanna be a crna, i think !

    JoshuaC replied to wannabcrna06's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah... CRNA programs require a BSN degree and at least 1 year of clinical experience... And they're hard to get into... And you're doing pre-reqs for your ADN... You have plenty of time to...

  21. New pre-nursing student "need advice"

    JoshuaC replied to kcmo06's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A CNA program usually runs 3-5 weeks. You put in about the same time either way... And you can take a CNA class while you're in college. To work at a hospital they usually want you to have some...

  22. New pre-nursing student "need advice"

    JoshuaC replied to kcmo06's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What classes are you taking? Regardless, my advice to you would be to study. And not just study to memorize, study to learn and "retain." You'll want to keep at least a 3.0 GPA, which isn't too...

  23. Having hard time with Pre-Reqs

    JoshuaC replied to WannaBeMaleRN's topic in Male Nursing Students

    GOOD ADVICE: Don't try to strictly memorize the material. When it comes to anatomy and physiology you have to understand the concepts. If you try to memorize everything then first of all you're...

  24. If You Got Your Letter Post Here!!!

    JoshuaC replied to Faeriewand's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Program: ADN School: Campbellsville University State: Kentucky Start Date: August 21st, 2006 I plan to get my BSN degree right after I get my ADN. The people here are awesome and the nursing...

  25. A&PI What Pre-Reqs did you take?

    JoshuaC replied to tanner523's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I actually missed my chance to take A&P I and A&P II for nursing students while I was attending the University of Kentucky so I had to take Anatomy and Physiology as two separate classes. The...
