  1. Don't know that 1oz=30cc/mls....and it's the Last Trimester?

    CaptScrubs13 replied to dblpn's topic in General Students

    Luckily in my program, your non-exam work won't help you pass. Your exam/quiz average must meet the passing standard, so even if your papers and projects and presentations are great and you get great...

  2. Whats your clinical instructor/student ratio? Should I change a program..

    CaptScrubs13 replied to miniangel729's topic in General Students

    This semester, most instructors have 8 students.. my group has 7 because one girl dropped out. We aren't allowed to do meds yet, so as of right now (3rd week with patients) we do mostly vitals, bed...

  3. failed my first test today...will I ever be the same?

    CaptScrubs13 replied to LittleRedApple's topic in General Students

    I definitely agree with the post who said to talk to your instructor. We just took 2 tests for 2 different nursing classes in the past week, and my instructor said if you did not do so well, please...

  7. Help !! I just failed my fundamentals

    CaptScrubs13 replied to aznkissz's topic in General Students

    My school also says you may repeat a course once if you fail. If you fail the same course twice, you're out. I'd look into more options as well before you think about having to switch

  8. BSN-MSN - Savings?

    CaptScrubs13 replied to Lindsay2228's topic in General Students

    No help about the MSN, but my bill is around $21,000 a semester - I pay around half of that .. the other half is payed through scholarships, grants, and a loan. (This includes tuition, room and board,...

  11. The First Days of Nursing School by the Fall 2009ers!!!

    CaptScrubs13 replied to craziechiq's topic in General Students

    I can't wait til my first day.. September 1st! It seems so far away right now. But I did get my Fundamentals syllabus, and I have read Ch 1 and about 1/2 of Ch 2. I will probably do some work in my...

  12. Last year's syllabus ?

    CaptScrubs13 posted a topic in General Students

    Today I was browsing around Blackboard to see if there were any announcements regarding clinical placement, etc. What I stumbled upon was last year's syllabus (It was in the folder for my Fundamentals...

  13. STOP - Don't buy your textbooks from the school bookstore

    CaptScrubs13 replied to DolceVita's topic in General Students

    I try to buy as many books as I can online. Sometimes I can't find a deal, so it is easier to buy from the bookstore if it's the same price (no shipping costs). My bookstore also does not let you...

  14. Got my books!

    CaptScrubs13 replied to CrunchyMama's topic in General Students

    I agree with K.P.A. I saved over $200 by ordering some of my books through other sites (some books we had to buy directly from our bookstore..bummer). I also rented some books (Microbiology text, and...

  15. Dilemma -- any advice?

    CaptScrubs13 posted a topic in General Students

    Kind of a weird situation and I don't know what to do (if anything). I'm a freshman in a 4-year Nursing program. My roommate is also in the program. The rules are you must pass A&PI (lecture +...

  16. Dilemma -- any advice?

    CaptScrubs13 replied to CaptScrubs13's topic in General Students

    Ok I have already stated that I'm not going to go tattle on anyone, and I have also said more than once that this was just a big vent .. if that's what looking for a sympathetic ear is, then fine. I...

  17. Dilemma -- any advice?

    CaptScrubs13 replied to CaptScrubs13's topic in General Students

    At first I was unsure of this too, but our handbook says in the freshman sciences the grade is a 75, and in the nursing courses it is a 77. I understand what you're saying, and I don't mean to say...

  18. Dilemma -- any advice?

    CaptScrubs13 replied to CaptScrubs13's topic in General Students

    I said something to her about it, and she was adamant that because her advisor said nothing, it was okay. She also acknowledged that she knew she had to retake it, and didn't. I am not going to tattle...

  19. Dilemma -- any advice?

    CaptScrubs13 replied to CaptScrubs13's topic in General Students

    Well I'm hoping that's what they'll do. We took A&PI last semester and that's the class she got the grade in - and with 3 weeks left til the end of the semester, she obviously can't make it up...

  20. Older students biased against younger students?

    CaptScrubs13 replied to Stephanieee's topic in General Students

    I'm 19 in my first year of a BSN program, and I sometimes wish there were older non-traditional students in my classes! The first year is just pre-reqs (A+P I and II, and Chem) but the girls in my...

    CaptScrubs13 replied to Pack RN's topic in General Students

  22. Too much 1st semester?

    CaptScrubs13 posted a topic in General Students

    Hi everyone, I'm in my first semester of college, finishing pre-reqs for the nursing program (A+P I/II and Chem). If all goes well and I am accepted, I will start Nursing classes next semester (fall...

  23. Too much 1st semester?

    CaptScrubs13 replied to CaptScrubs13's topic in General Students

    Thanks for the responses! lillyofthevalley, that's kind of what I was thinking, too. Last semester I had 5 classes and 2 labs, and managed pretty well. Now, I have 5 classes and 1 lab, and still doing...

  24. Histology question --- very confused !

    CaptScrubs13 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For the life of me I can't figure out the question that was on my A&P lab homework last week - still stumped. Here is is: "How does the function of stratified epithelia differ from the function...

  25. A&P 1 class too easy?

    CaptScrubs13 replied to rukia's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I feel the same way. Chapter one we barely covered anything - no body landmarks! I did that in high school and I was shocked to not even have it mentioned in class. Then I thought maybe we should...
