  1. Totally burnt out, and not even in nursing school yet!!

    ktliz posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am feeling SO burnt out right now. I am in my final semester of a bachelor's in psychology. I'm taking 3 classes (spanish 3, psych of parenting and bioethics) at my university right now. I also...

  2. Is this birth plan reasonable

    ktliz replied to wulfbourne's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I was just at a meeting at my local hospital last night. We call it our "birth circle" and it is a group of progressive doulas, nurses and midwives who get together to discuss general birthing issues...

  3. does your hospital hire techs with no training or experience?

    ktliz replied to ktliz's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Wow, I wasn't aware there was actually a difference between a tech an a CNA. That is very interesting and very helpful. Thank you for the

  4. Has anyone taken Chem in the summer??

    ktliz replied to luvmy3kids's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you're worried about it, why don't you buy the book ahead of time and start casually reading it over the summer? That way you will keep your brain primed in "chem mode" AND you'll already be ahead...

  5. Has anyone taken Chem in the summer??

    ktliz replied to luvmy3kids's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If I were you I think I would take it in the Fall. Not that I don't think its doable in the summer, especially since you got an A before... but in your situation I think its worth it to put it off....

  6. How Helpful was the Anatomy coloring book for you?

    ktliz replied to birdy88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's might be because of the online nature of your labs. A lot of our tests are based off of 3-D models (kind of makes me wish I took A&P at my university, where they use cadavers, instead of the...

  7. College Health Clinic Nursing?

    ktliz replied to rkrs6673's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure how much I can help since I'm not yet a nurse nor do I work in a college clinic. BUT, I just wanted to say that I use the clinic at my school for all my health needs and I lovelovelove. I...

  8. How Helpful was the Anatomy coloring book for you?

    ktliz replied to birdy88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just started using mine today--I like it a lot! I'm working on the skeleton right now and it's really helping me learn the shape of the bones and not just the location, which is good when you have...

  9. Does anybody had seen a nurse with tunnel earrings?

    ktliz replied to Hacker-Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I would be far more concerned with the swinger part than the

  10. Does anybody had seen a nurse with tunnel earrings?

    ktliz replied to Hacker-Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a nurse yet, but I have 00g earrings and I need to wear plugs in them (as opposed to tunnels) when I'm in the hospital. I wear double flared plugs (without o-rings) made out of a pretty stone...

  11. StonyBrook Accelerated Nursing Program

    ktliz replied to IcanHealYou's topic in General Nursing

    Try posting this to the NY nurses forum... you might get a better response over

  12. Movie: "The Business of Being Born."

    ktliz replied to epiphany's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I saw it. It was good--not anything new for those who are already educated about birth choices, but a good "mainstream" movie to introduce home birth & midwifery to the

  13. Drexel University

    ktliz replied to bast11's topic in School, College Programs

    Do a search on the PA forums... there have been some in-depth posts about Drexel's program. It has a good reputation but from what I've heard, prepare yourself for a VERY vigorous and strenuous...

  14. Anyone received acceptance letter to KSU?

    ktliz replied to cape3's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Thanks diosa! Your post was very helpful. I hadn't been thinking about the TEAS... I test well, so I just need to finish those pre-reqs to brush up on my science. Here's to nursing school, May

  15. Anyone received acceptance letter to KSU?

    ktliz replied to cape3's topic in Georgia Nursing

    To those of you who have been accepted to the accelerated program- what are your stats like? (overall GPA, prereq GPA, etc.) I read on here that they look at the 7 best grades out of your 12 prereqs...

  16. Tongue Rings

    ktliz replied to MsLady06's topic in Emergency

    piercing anything other than the earlobes is a big deal. i've had just about every part of my body pierced at one point or another (you could never tell it by looking at me!) the tongue isn't a...

  17. West Chester University? Alvernia?

    ktliz replied to ktliz's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Kutztown has an RN to BSN program only. No regular

  18. Looking for a job in the Atlanta area?

    ktliz replied to SharonH, RN's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I just wanted to add... as a doula and aspiring nurse/midwife, I would NEVER work at Northside. Yes they have a ton of deliveries there, but birth at Northside is VERY medicalized--they have something...

  19. Accelerated BSN or MEPN Programs

    ktliz replied to erininsf's topic in General Nursing

    It seems the majority of programs want A&P and micro at the very least. The next step up seems to be stat, human growth & development and sociology. There is a test you can take (CLEP) to test...

  20. Where Did Healthcare Go?

    ktliz replied to DTCC PreRN's topic in General Nursing

    Just curious... dtcc preRN, was the documentary you watched

  21. Accelerated BSN Programs

    ktliz replied to CTGuy's topic in General Nursing

    This was a good source for me... http://www.aacn.nche.edu/Education/pdf/APLIST.PDF In my experience it's about 99% complete. I've only encountered one program that wasn't on this list. I'm not sure...

  22. "Private Practice" TV Show

    ktliz replied to CNM2B's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    There were about 67876 things in that pilot that really p'd me off. I can't even remember most of them, but Addison's attitude toward birth is really disappointing overall. At first I thought it was...

  23. I got in to MUSC Accelerated Nursing Program!!!

    ktliz replied to Athenas83's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    3.9, that's great!! I'm so worried because my GPA is awful. I had a 3.7, then I transferred schools, got really depressed and got 15 credits of Fs!! I have it back up to a 2.90 and it should be at...

    ktliz replied to Athenas83's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  25. Pregnant but Negative Urine Preg?

    ktliz replied to RunnerRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Learned this in my bio prereq and am posting here instead of studying for my final tomorrow :doh: Another way to look at it is, the pill makes the body think "Oh, I MIGHT be pregnant" which is the...
