  1. What do I tell my kids??

    NightOwl0624 replied to GregAnurse2b's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Hopefully in this situation is is more a matter of what their friends are used to, and need to get used to the idea that nurses are very diverse. They have probably seen few nurses in their lives: at...

  2. Daytonite....

    NightOwl0624 replied to IrishIzCPNP's topic in General Students

    Daytonite, I am one of those students who always tries to read all of your posts, and I have even been lucky enough that you have answered a few of my own questions! I have learned so much from you,...

  3. subective/objective data

    NightOwl0624 replied to NightOwl0624's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    If the patient is not conscious, and a family reports history, is there another category for that? I know it isn't objective data, but if it isn't subjective either, what is it? Since the patient...

  4. subective/objective data

    NightOwl0624 replied to NightOwl0624's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thank you, both. That's what I thought as well. My book (page 284, Fundamentals of Nursing, Potter & Perry, 2005) states "Subjective data are client's perceptions about their health problems....

  5. "Don't waste your time getting your BSN..."

    NightOwl0624 replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Ok, granted I don't have a BS in Nursing, but I do have a BS degree in another field from a well respected public university. I'm trying to remember which of those general credit classes would have...

  6. LPN - future careers

    NightOwl0624 replied to mandieanne's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hi, I was considering the same option and had exactly the same concern. I did end up applying for an LPN program, but was put on a waiting list as they only take 30 students each fall. I changed my...

  7. Organic Chem advice

    NightOwl0624 replied to neumants's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    i had organic & biochem last semester... i had a really hard time finding resources to help me, but i thought my textbook was actually pretty good. (it was introduction to chemistry, organic and...

  8. Hit all time low

    NightOwl0624 replied to JentheRN05's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry you are going through all of this. It must be some comfort to know that there is a REASON for all that has happened to you, and it can be controlled! I think it is also VERY normal for...

  9. Wondering how others deal with RUDE patients, docs, colleagues?????

    NightOwl0624 replied to TrudyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am not a nurse yet, so I can't really comment. I only hope I will behave with professionalism as many of you have already talked about. I have had the occasion to view family members being cared...

  10. It's sometimes hard being a nurse of color isn't it?

    NightOwl0624 replied to Kanani_Ikike's topic in General Nursing

    I'm very sorry this is happening to you. I was trying to think of something "but on the bright side..." and this is all I could come up with. I hope it doesn't come off sounding insincere... There...

  11. Are accelerated programs fair?

    NightOwl0624 replied to caro3334's topic in General Nursing

    :yeahthat: Jjjoy, I think you said that very

  12. BSN vs Bachelor's + RN School

    NightOwl0624 replied to jjjoy's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Just a note... I think the reason the ADN has become a 3 year program is the difficulty getting classes when you need them. Credit-wise, it's about 80 credits to get an associates degree (looking...

  13. Are accelerated programs fair?

    NightOwl0624 replied to caro3334's topic in General Nursing

    Yes... regrets... If I had any idea about the waiting lists and prerequisites, I would have started a few years ago and could have been done by now. I was shocked when I was "ready" to go and the...

  14. Are accelerated programs fair?

    NightOwl0624 replied to caro3334's topic in General Nursing

    I think some people may have gotten defensive because it sounded like you could get an accelerated degree with less credits than you would need for a traditional BSN degree, and most people that go...

  15. Are accelerated programs fair?

    NightOwl0624 replied to caro3334's topic in General Nursing

    The accelerated programs around here all require previous degrees. However, I can't imagine how one program could require less classes. Don't you need 120 credits for a Bachelors of Science

  16. Please allow me some arrogance!

    NightOwl0624 replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

    congratulations to you! you should be so proud of yourself! (and that is not arrogance!)...

  17. What if you have a bachelor's degree in another discipline and are getting a ADN?

    NightOwl0624 replied to AZO49008's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Respectfully, I really don't think an ADN is a dumbed-down version for people that aren't capable of university-level classes. At least I hope

  18. Is It a Bad Idea To Stay in a Bad Marriage Until School Ends?

    NightOwl0624 replied to cdietrich404's topic in General Students

    Normally, I would have to say that I agree with you 100%. However, I have witnessed firsthand what a mentally ill bipolar person in a very manic state is capable of, and I don't believe such a person...

  19. Is It a Bad Idea To Stay in a Bad Marriage Until School Ends?

    NightOwl0624 replied to cdietrich404's topic in General Students

    I believe I read somewhere that some people with Parkinson's that have been given certain drugs suddenly felt the overwhelming urge to gamble. I think it has to do with the levels of dopamine in the...

  20. CHEMISTRY: Need I say more ;-/

    NightOwl0624 replied to JBGC4's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I, too, agree 100%!!! I did not and still do not enjoy the subject. The math part is fine for me, but I do not like worrying about all those darned electrons!! Anyway, I had the best chemistry prof....

  21. What if you have a bachelor's degree in another discipline and are getting a ADN?

    NightOwl0624 replied to AZO49008's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I apologize and I am so sorry that I did not make myself clear. I meant for those of us WHO ALREADY HAVE A BACHELOR OF SCIENCE in another field. We have already fulfilled the general education...

  22. What if you have a bachelor's degree in another discipline and are getting a ADN?

    NightOwl0624 replied to AZO49008's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    AZ, it sounds like we have a lot in common (same age, same background, same area, same crossroads in life...) You gotta do what's best for you! Good luck to

  23. What if you have a bachelor's degree in another discipline and are getting a ADN?

    NightOwl0624 replied to AZO49008's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Tweety, I meant that because I already have all of the other classes done already (english comp, sociology, all of the psychologies, etc, etc...) that is what it amounts to, and I think that is pretty...

  24. A&P: Really Hard vs. Just a lot of material

    NightOwl0624 replied to ceraleigh's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think I know what the op was trying to say... It reminds me of a young woman in my Chemistry class last year. She is going to be a Dentist. Her Daddy is going to pay for all of her education. Yet...

  25. Pre-Requisites Anyone?

    NightOwl0624 replied to 2bNursewith7kids's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Maybe it depends on what type of college you are going to? For ADN programs at community colleges, you have to have certain classes before you can apply, (in my case AP and the NET test) and then you...
