  1. 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

    With all due respect, I really don't think the op was implying that BSN grads were incompetent. Honestly, I thought the op brought up some interesting questions and was not necessarily "biased"...

  2. dcotor asked me to leave room

    NightOwl0624 replied to jam2007's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a nurse yet, but from a patient's perspective, I don't think that it is all inappropriate that a nurse be asked to leave the room as long as a physical examination is not being performed. Not...

  3. No You Can't (Long)

    NightOwl0624 replied to nursesaideBen's topic in Psychiatric

    Do you trust these close confidants enough to follow their advise? Are they in the position to really, really know you and assess the situation you will be in? I think if you truly trust these...

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

    NightOwl0624 replied to cdietrich404's topic in General Students

    I know he hasn't done everything you have asked for (counseling and writing a letter?) but you say he hasn't played poker in 2 weeks. That does seem like a good start, and what you are really asking...

  5. Cd2-wsu

    NightOwl0624 replied to Blush000's topic in Michigan Nursing

    WSU has information meetings pretty often, and they will answer all of these types of questions. I went to one in April and they said that a "safe" gpa would be about 3.6. The lowest they accepted...

  6. Dressing up like 'Indians'

    NightOwl0624 replied to Thunderwolf's topic in General Nursing

    A few years ago my daughter wanted to be Sacajawea for Halloween. She was 5 at the time, and her favorite book that we read over and over was about the life of Sacajawea. She was very excited to...

  7. Help :( I've been really irresponsible this weekend..

    NightOwl0624 replied to justme1972's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You know, I wouldn't recommend NOT studying for a test, but if you have been studying 5-6 hours a day, you probably know the material very well by now, and you probably only need a little review. I...

  8. Would you turn down BSN for ADN??

    NightOwl0624 replied to Alert&Orientedx0's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Would you turn down BSN for ADN?? Yes. I just did, and for me it was the best choice. I made a list of the pros and cons, and the only pro for the BSN program was that I would have the BSN when I was...

  9. Michigan ADN programs

    NightOwl0624 replied to KasRymom's topic in General Nursing

    Hi - I don't have any answers to your questions specifically, but I thought if you might post this in the Michigan forum you may get more responses. I took one of my pre reqs at HFCC, but am on the...

  11. Professor opinions needed for TCC

    NightOwl0624 replied to txmommyof3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You might want to check out the site RateMyProfessor.com. I have found it to be very accurate and helpful. Also, you may want to post in the state forum (Texas?) in order to get better

  12. Websites for Tissue Slides

    NightOwl0624 replied to justme1972's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Here are a few: I got them from Daytonite's list a few semesters ago. There may be more in the sticky section for the A&P clubs....

  13. Bsn Gpa

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

    A lot of the schools in my area have informational meetings, where they will certainly tell you of these things. It seems that every school is different! Some only look at certain classes for the...

  14. Is Drug Addiction a Disease?

    NightOwl0624 replied to loricatus's topic in General Nursing

    This is from NAMI concerning mental illness and substance abuse dual diagnosis: How often do people with severe mental illnesses also experience a co-occurring substance abuse problem? There is a lack...

  15. Poll:What do you think was the hardest Pre-requisit (science) class so far?

    NightOwl0624 replied to missymarie26's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For me, it was Chemistry, especially Organic and Biochemistry. I had the Org-Biochem at the same time as micro, and it made micro seem so

  16. Admissions into WSU RN traditional

    NightOwl0624 replied to ikenna's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Wayne State has informational meetings about once a month, I think they have them for the traditional program (I went to the second degree meeting). You might want to attend one of those. For the...

  17. Any Computer Science majors out there?

    NightOwl0624 replied to AlisonBSN's topic in General Nursing

    I have a BS in Computer science, too... I did love my job, but being home for 8 years with kids, I couldn't imagine going back to that (even if there were more jobs available). I can't compare the...

  18. New Michigan Nursing Student!

    NightOwl0624 replied to oms1208's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hello - I don't have any advice about job positions, but like you I am admitted to 2008 at Schoolcraft, have just finished my pre-reqs, and wondering what I'm going to do until then... I am also...

  19. Just finished pre-reqs... feeling sad???

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

    Thanks so much for responding! I'm feeling better today, and will just try to take one day at a

  20. Just finished pre-reqs... feeling sad???

    NightOwl0624 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just took my last final last night and now my pre-reqs are finished. And I feel sort of depressed, and don't know why. I should be celebrating, because I think I did pretty well! I guess it's...

  21. My Theory on 8-week classes

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

    I agree, but I do think it depends on the kind of class you are taking. Personally, when taking A&P, I needed every one of those days to get the information in my head! But I do like taking the...

  22. chemistry or microbiology first?

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

    I took general chemistry last semester, and I don't think it would have helped with micro all that much - we did review the basic chemistry stuff in micro the first week or so ... However, in my...

  23. The deadly case of Mr. Hyde

    NightOwl0624 replied to kenzy's topic in General Nursing

    I can tell you as a person with a mentally ill family member, it is incredibly hard to get mental health services in this country EVEN if you have very good insurance and EVEN if the patient seeks...

  24. Do I let her know about my brother??

    NightOwl0624 replied to zumalong's topic in General Nursing

    I would definitely say something. That was completely unprofessional and should not be tolerated. I have a family member with a mental illness, also. He's ok now (on meds), but two years ago he was...

  25. How does Blackboard (online system some colleges use) work?

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

    I have had two online classes and our school uses blackboard. I found the system very easy and intuitive, and I think there should be a tutorial available for you. Both of my professors used the...
