  1. Does anyone else feel like NON nursing students don't "understand?"

    SingDanceRunLife replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Students

    I was only saying that regardless of what their major is, there are many people who can't work full time while going to school. The rest of my post was about me personally...it wasn't related to your...

  2. Does anyone else feel like NON nursing students don't "understand?"

    SingDanceRunLife replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Students

    But there are also many people who can't work full time while in school for anything else. It all depends on the specific circumstances. In response to the OP: I agree that it's much different being a...

  3. Littmann Lightweight II SE

    SingDanceRunLife replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    How are they a waste?! They aren't something readily available on our clinical units. We are required to have one of our own. Our program gave us each one, but a super cheap, crappy one, and my...

  4. For Fun--Kudos 2 Me...The "toot your own horn" thread

    SingDanceRunLife replied to tammy1974's topic in General Students

    While I understand that sentiment, at the same time, some people just aren't good test takers, so they might know the content better than someone who got a better grade or might be able to apply it...

  5. Is anatomy one of the toughest courses for nursing?

    SingDanceRunLife replied to Toots71506's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I thought A&P II was so much easier than A&P I! I was told by my classmates that II was easier, and didn't believe them...but then I took it, and I realized that it is! Well, was, at least for...

  6. Taking A&P Online

    SingDanceRunLife replied to TryingtoGetIn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This isn't necessarily true. When I took A&P II online, my professor gave us a list of objectives, and that was the testable material. By the way, I took my class through Broome Community College...

  7. Littmann Lightweight II SE

    SingDanceRunLife replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I'm in an RN program. I got it today! I absolutely love it! It's so much louder and clearer than the school provided, and is also a beautiful color, has perfect engraving, comfortable eartips etc. I...

  8. Taking A&P Online

    SingDanceRunLife replied to TryingtoGetIn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took A&P II online. It was alright with my program, though not preferable. However, unless you tell your school that you took it online, they'll never

  9. Littmann Lightweight II SE

    SingDanceRunLife replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I've actually been in school since August 23, but clinicals don't really start til next week, and my school provided cheapo steths for us at the beginning. I did go with it from Medisave though. I...

    SingDanceRunLife replied to Livy022's topic in General Students

    A&P is often taken the first year along with NSG 101A+B, psych and pharm 1. Micro is in the curriculum the first semester of the second year along with critical writing, psych/mental health...

  12. Jewelry

    SingDanceRunLife replied to Sparkle850's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    At my school, a watch is required, and we can also wear one pair of earrings (technically, in reality, people wear a lot more than that), and a simple

    SingDanceRunLife replied to Livy022's topic in General Students

    Wow! I'm surprised that so many of you think it's weird to take A&P and micro with nursing classes! The only prereqs for my school are contained in a normal high school curriculum...and in my...

  14. Littmann Lightweight II SE

    SingDanceRunLife replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Or what about Medisave? How is their engraving? I did some more looking, and I saw that it's free from them, so it's cheaper overall (about $60 rather than $70). Again - is the engraving worth it, or...

  15. Was your nursing school like this?

    SingDanceRunLife replied to TheSmilingToast's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I think this is unfair to say. How is the OP not prepared for nursing school? MANY people, myself included, go into nursing school with absolutely no experience whatsoever! Does that make us...

  16. What color is your stethoscope???

    SingDanceRunLife replied to sch1109's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I'm getting a lilac Littmann Lightweight as an [early] birthday present from my parents! My mom thinks I should get the ceil blue, but purple is my favorite color, and lilac is a much less common...

  17. Was your nursing school like this?

    SingDanceRunLife replied to TheSmilingToast's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm sorry that you've had such a bad experience! My school is the opposite. They assume that you don't know unless you say that you do. We have some right out of high school students, some students...

  18. Need Help Taking BP

    SingDanceRunLife replied to j.brooks49's topic in General Students

    Practice practice practice! The more you practice, the more comfortable and confident you'll be with it. Also, make sure that you really palpate the brachial pulse well before placing your...

  19. For Fun--Kudos 2 Me...The "toot your own horn" thread

    SingDanceRunLife replied to tammy1974's topic in General Students

    Wow, that's intense! For us, an A=90-100%, B+=86-89.9%, B=82-85.9%, C+=78-81.9%, C=75-77.9% and

  20. Conversation starter...what are your nursing career goals?

    SingDanceRunLife replied to EatLoveNurse's topic in General Students

    First: Get my ASN in 2012, and work part time my senior year of college. Second: Get my BSN in 2013. After college, I want to work abroad (in Haiti if it's safe enough, but definitely in a developing...

  21. so we are one month into this. How is it going?

    SingDanceRunLife replied to cjungen's topic in General Students

    It's not too bad. I'm finally getting into a rhythm so I know what I can and can't do in terms of a social life and extra sleep and "me" time and all. We just finished our first class, and started our...

  22. Cheap steth with good sound?

    SingDanceRunLife replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I've been doing a lot of research, and I think that I'm gonna go with a Littmann Lightweight and ask for it as an early birthday present. At this point, it's not super early (just over a month), and...

  23. Is anatomy one of the toughest courses for nursing?

    SingDanceRunLife replied to Toots71506's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I thought A&P I was by far the hardest! I haven't yet taken micro or pathophys or any of that (they're coreqs at my school, not prereqs, and we don't take gen bio or chem at all)...but even...

    I'm upstate, but would rather not say exactly

  25. CNA exam in New York

    SingDanceRunLife posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Hey everyone, I'm in my first semester of an ASN program, and I was wondering at what point, if any in the program I can take the CNA exam because I want to be a CNA in a nursing home rather than a...
