  1. A Man's Guide to Get a Nursing Scholarship in a Woman's Profession

    avatar78 replied to thule619's topic in Male Nursing Students

    It linked to some other good sites I'll bookmark for nursing info, but I didn't see anything about scholarships. I think I found 2 to apply for through fastweb, haven't heard anything yet. My...

  2. Is this normal??

    avatar78 replied to Iwannabeababynurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Man, I feel the same way right now, so I hope it's normal. Just finished A&P 1 and I feel uneasy about being able to apply much of anything about the body, it's just so complex. I guess that's...

  3. A&P I Summer 2007

    avatar78 replied to reneemichell's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Me too! I think I got an A but I really don't care at this point. I got Chinese food, took some Nyquil and slept for 10 hours before work. Life is

  4. My orientation!

    avatar78 replied to krenee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In NY the Red Cross cert is good for one year, while the American Heart Assn is good for 2, so it could be worth finding the AHA course if it's in your

  5. My orientation!

    avatar78 replied to krenee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had an initial orientation Thursday, and then a full 8 hour orientation in August. They said this year all nursing students will have PDAs, so we won't have to buy the drug and disease reference...

  6. How was the NET?

    avatar78 replied to RN2bemommyof3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey, me too! Everyone taking it here is already accepted into the nursing program, they just use it to see what your strong/weak areas are, so you know what you might need extra help

  7. What are YOU taking Fall semester?

    avatar78 replied to serendipity123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Mostly just the nursing class, along with some odds and ends prereqs. Foundations of Nursing Basic Pharmacology General Psych Nutrition (I'll drop this and take it in next summer if necc, but I've...

  8. "As long as we all get a 'C'..." HMMM?!?!?

    avatar78 replied to NSFA08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Interesting comments. I have always been an A person, and it definitely helped getting accepted in the nursing program. But honestly, I'm going to try and not focus on the grade so much now. Nursing...

  9. Tests don't match lecture, notes or review

    avatar78 replied to I_am_Julia's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That happened to me in A&P too. We were given reading guides for each chapter, which were awesome- told you which paragraphs to read and which to skip, which review questions to do, everything....

  10. A&P I Summer 2007

    avatar78 replied to reneemichell's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, I just have one week left. It has gone really fast. One more lab exam, practical and written, one lecture exam, and one paper due. It was pretty overwhelming at first, but you can do it. It...

  11. Could a somewhat rusty EMT hack it in ED?

    avatar78 posted a topic in Emergency

    So here's the deal. There's an opening for a Emergency Care Asst at a hospital here. It says, Education/Experience: Must be an EMT with recent experience or a graduate of a Nurse Assistant Program...

  12. Any point to working in a bad hospital while in school?

    avatar78 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I start nursing school in the fall, and I think it'd be great to work in a hospital during school, since I have to work. But I'm in a small city (about 30,000) in Western NY and the one hospital here...

  13. Any point to working in a bad hospital while in school?

    avatar78 replied to avatar78's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not positive, but I'm fairly sure it will be, just because there's not another one real close. That's a good point about clinicals. I did sort of think that, that there's not too many ways to...

  14. A&P I Summer 2007

    avatar78 replied to reneemichell's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Here is the web site that goes with my textbook. I haven't used it much yet but it looks like it has things like quizzes and crossword puzzles....

  15. Very interesting if you have a strong stomach.

    avatar78 replied to MyLittleCody120's topic in General Nursing

    Shoot, I can't get the vids to play. Anyone else have problems getting

  16. A&P I Summer 2007

    avatar78 replied to reneemichell's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    All the best to everyone taking this insane class! Is anyone else studying tissue types yet? I thought maybe I would make it until we pulled out about 47 slides of tissue samples that ALL look like...

  17. A&P I Summer 2007

    avatar78 replied to reneemichell's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yup, started A&P 1 last week. Day 2 we dissected a rat! These summer classes move really fast. I have one teacher for lab, and another for classroom, which looks like it'll be nice for getting 2...

  18. Banning Crocs?

    avatar78 replied to styRN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Well, if you do need the closed toe ones, shoebuy has 'em for $28 after discount right now, in different colors. (and if you create an account with 'em during checkout, it's another 10% off). They...

  19. Question... are we supposed to help? Good Samaritan.

    avatar78 replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    If it's a conscious adult, you'd probably want to get their consent first. 'Hi, I'm George, I'm a [emt, nurse], I'd like to help, ok?' The other thing I remember from EMT class is if you do decide to...
