  3. CPR certification?

    you can also get a certification from your local fire or police department. also make sure you know what certification your school requires - mine requires BLS (American Heart) but not Red

  4. The Nursing Math Thread

    shrimpchips replied to Tweety's topic in General Students

  11. Which stethoscope should I purchase?

    shrimpchips replied to NTB08's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

  14. If you fail one class do you fail out of nursing school?

    shrimpchips replied to Shawnygirl003's topic in General Students

    It depends on your school. At my school you're allowed to repeat a class/clinical once if you fail, and you're not always guaranteed to take it the semester following your failure (so you'll probably...

    shrimpchips replied to americanbeauty's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  19. Do you need a Laptop?

    shrimpchips replied to dfw2lax's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
