  1. Stethoscope question

    SingDanceRunLife replied to ashleyisawesome's topic in General Students

    My school gave us all a steth, but we can use whatever we

  2. Cheap steth with good sound?

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

    In New York, where I'm from, the tuition at state schools is about $4,000/year. That is quite cheap compared to the tuition at any private school...but the education at many of them is just as good if...

  3. Cheap steth with good sound?

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

    Cheap and good quite often belong in the same sentence. Now that may not be true with steths, but with many other things...for example, state schools, food, pens etc. Have you used the steth I...

  4. Cheap steth with good sound?

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

    So, I found out that the reason I couldn't hear anything with my steth was that my particular one was a dud. We were doing our second vitals practice lab, and my partner forgot her steth, so we were...

  5. do you get enough clinical experience?

    SingDanceRunLife replied to singleye's topic in General Students

    You just started clinicals! You shouldn't be expecting to be doing more complicated stuff at this point in time. I know my program (RN) starts out the same way at the beginning and they ease you into...

  6. Why do you want to be a nurse?

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

    So my reply is taken from the actual essay I sent to schools when I was a senior in high school applying... I am often asked “Why nursing? Why not just be a doctor?” While it an obvious fact that...

  7. Exam Stories

    SingDanceRunLife replied to mkhoaja's topic in General Students

    Wow your school is lenient! If you sleep through a test at my school, you're

  8. A&P ONLINE

    SingDanceRunLife replied to KareBear0609's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took A&P II online over the summer, and I thought that it was a very good class. I have retained a lot of the information, and do not regret taking it online at

  9. How to know if nursing is right for you?

    SingDanceRunLife replied to Copperismydog's topic in General Students

    I'm one of those people who just "knew." I didn't know when I was super young or anything (I decided when I was a junior in high school after knowing for sure I wanted to do something medical/health...

  10. How did you do on your first test

    SingDanceRunLife replied to cjungen's topic in General Students

    I got an 84 on my first test (would have been an 80, but a question was challenged, and the instructor gave credit for 2 answers, one of them being the one I put). For my second test (which was...

  11. Total Lab/Clinical Hours in different nursing programs

    SingDanceRunLife replied to chendamoni's topic in General Students

    My ASN program has 720 clinical hours, and by the time I finish my BSN I'll have about 1000 (my program is a dual degree ASN/BSN program all in

  12. Fundamentals test

    SingDanceRunLife replied to cmonkey's topic in General Students

    My school posts our grades within 24 hours, but doesn't do the review of the test until a couple days later. When we do test review we have a piece of paper that says our score and which questions we...

  13. How much time do you *really*spend studying?

    SingDanceRunLife replied to yesitslaura's topic in General Students

    Not as much as most people on the boards! Now, I will admit that I've only been in NS for 3 weeks, but I'm 3/5 of the way through my fundamentals class (ours is a 5 week course, then we move on to...

  14. Fundamentals test

    SingDanceRunLife replied to cmonkey's topic in General Students

    I love review right after! We did that today (well, sort of -- it was an hour and a half later since they decided we needed a break from the test and held class between the test and the test review)....

  15. Do you think you'll/have you put on weight in NS?

    SingDanceRunLife posted a topic in General Students

    I've noticed here how a lot of people talk about how much weight you gain in nursing school...so I'm curious: If you have yet to start NS, do you think you'll put on weight? If you're already in NS,...

  16. Early ??thoughts about U. San Francisco, U. Portland, Seattle U.??

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

    I'm a college sophomore, and in my first year of nursing classes...so I was in your position quite recently! I will preface this with the fact that I have a bias which I will use in my suggestions......

  17. Which pre-nursing classes did you find the most useful?

    SingDanceRunLife replied to Copperismydog's topic in General Students

    Yeah...my English was just like high school English, MLA and all. My developmental psych class is a coreq not a prereq, so I can't count it as being a helpful prereq since I'm taking it now during

  18. Which pre-nursing classes did you find the most useful?

    SingDanceRunLife replied to Copperismydog's topic in General Students

    I actually legitimately learned nothing in my English class, and all writing was MLA not APA format. It was a wasted class if you ask me since it wasn't any different than my high school English...

  19. Which pre-nursing classes did you find the most useful?

    SingDanceRunLife replied to Copperismydog's topic in General Students

    A&P for sure! My other prereqs (psych, soc and English) haven't been at all useful (at least not yet -- but I'm only just finishing my 3rd week of my first

  20. so what pre reqs have you taken? And how did you find them to be?

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

    That's still a lot!...twice as many as

  21. so what pre reqs have you taken? And how did you find them to be?

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

    Wow you guys had a lot of prereqs! I only had to take: A&P I and II: Hard, and a lot of work...liked A&P II much better -- had a better professor and thought that the material was easier. Eng...

  23. Whole class got same steth...

    SingDanceRunLife posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I just started nursing school, and my school is really nice and gives us each our own clinical kit that includes a steth, BP cuff, scissors and a penlight...the problem is, they're all the same! Now,...

  24. Anyone okay with just being a nurse?

    SingDanceRunLife replied to Kaychell's topic in General Students

    That you might not be able to avoid. Lots of hospitals now are saying that their nurses have to get a Bachelors if they want to stay

  25. Fundamentals test

    SingDanceRunLife replied to cmonkey's topic in General Students

    My test wasn't too bad. I got an 84% (21 out of 25 questions right). Some were tricky, but overall, it was not nearly as bad as I was
