  1. Medical Terminology

    DesertRain replied to lisabeth's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think my nursing application has those blank spots...kinda wish they did. My first class was fun. I already knew the words we went over because of Micro and A&P. After class the teacher...

  2. First day back!

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

    YES! and those icicles are still hanging from my neighbors shingles....I can't believe it, they didn't even melt. But it was warmer today, although the sun is always hot, it's the air that gets cold...

    DesertRain replied to soulsearchin''s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Soulsearchin, Congratulations on getting accepted into the program-twice! For starters, some people are still waiting to get accepted into the LPN programs. And don't worry so much about the jobs...

  5. What's your schedule like next semester?

    DesertRain posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So I just finished rearranging and working out my schedule and I think I'm done. I have a pretty hefty load next semester mostly because I'm really pushing to try to get in by Fall (07) and my CC goes...

  6. Scrubs-Snug or Baggy?

    DesertRain posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I had to buy my CNA uniform today and I tried on a bunch of different sizes but I know that I may have a different preference when I start actually working. Do you prefer your uniforms to be snug or...

  7. First day back!

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

    STPAULIGIRL: OMG, it's crazy! And so unusual for certain parts of the country. I live in Las Vegas and this morning when I left for school I took a picture of next door neighbors house that had...

  8. First day back!

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

    MBA2BRN--how was your first day of Nursing School ???? I can't believe the semester already

  9. Medical Terminology

    DesertRain replied to lisabeth's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just signed up for it too. It's not a pre-req at my CC either but after reading this post (THANK YOU ALLNURSES!) I registered for Medical Terminology I. I heard that it does give anyone going into...

  10. Scrubs-Snug or Baggy?

    DesertRain replied to DesertRain's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Well, looks like I have lots to look forward too. The classes I take at school require us all to wear the same uniform, white snap/button top --short sleeves and navy pants. They don't allow us to...

  11. found out my competition!

    DesertRain replied to Irene joy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow, that's great! Honestly, waiting for your turn won't be so bad...just hang out here and kill the time. You can always take little courses in between to up your knowledge and be ahead of the game....

  12. Scrubs-Snug or Baggy?

    DesertRain replied to DesertRain's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Yikes, this kinda scares me! Is there really a chance that my pants could come off? LOL. Good thing I'm carrying a little more junk in the trunk than average so hopefully my behind will break the fall...

  13. For those of you who are feeling down lately...

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

    You are welcome Mystiqx. If they can't make it a sticky than just copy and paste it and print it--keep it with you (like folded up in your wallet) or pin it up somewhere to see--I have it on my...

  14. Like everyone else here I need some advice.

    DesertRain replied to pink_princess's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not a nurse yet, so I can't justify any pro's and con's but I know that in my school becoming a CNA (nurses assistant) is not mandatory--I do know that in other schools it is. Everyone I have...

  15. Out of state tuition rant

    DesertRain replied to MB37's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh wow, I am so sorry to hear that. Honestly it sounds like you're situation is completely justifiable and I can't understand why they wouldn't accept your evidence of residency that you have offered....

  16. Lab Coats in Anatomy Lab?

    DesertRain replied to Pynkdrops's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We weren't required for Micro or A&P--but honestly, I think they could have been used. Particularly with A&P when dissecting parts--I once had to wipe off some eyeball juice off my lab...

  17. For those of you who are feeling down lately...

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

    Please don't! And I love that quote! It's awesome, I might have to borrow that one from

  18. found out my competition!

    DesertRain replied to Irene joy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Absolutely, I would be disqualified as I'm at about a 3.5 and actually I'm kinda proud of that lol. My CC goes by points i.e. certain points for experience in the health field, previous degree...

    DesertRain posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  22. NLN Advice

    DesertRain replied to Batman24's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My school wants 100th percentile which they indicate is 100 score on the composite just to qualify to enter. My CC's nursing school entrance criteria is based on points though and 100 percentile 100...

    DesertRain posted a topic in Nevada Nursing

    I am a pre-nursing student trying to get admitted to CCSN for fall '07 so I thought I would up my points by taking the CNA class. I am not sure if anyone here can help me but I have not been getting...
