  1. Ugh, my insomnia is killing me

    Smartferret replied to ThatPoshGirl's topic in General Students

    Sandy dfw, I'm actually off school for the summer, so I'm indulging. Last semester I got kicked from my guild for not logging in for over 30 days. They were nice and let me back in for the summer...

  2. Did taking Latin help you in becoming a nurse?

    Smartferret replied to sam3992's topic in General Students

    I, like Caliotter3, took Latin in school at my fathers insistance. Unfortunately, the area of medicine that I became involved in was Ophthalmology. The only medical discipline that uses GREEK for...

  3. Ugh, my insomnia is killing me

    Smartferret replied to ThatPoshGirl's topic in General Students

    I'm new to the whole insomnia thing. I started taking Chantix 3 weeks ago (and yes, it works great). I'm not smoking, and I'm not sleeping either. On the plus side, I've made it most of the way...

  4. Starting school in August and need surgery!

    Smartferret replied to mrs obie's topic in General Students

    ..... " a very limited range of motion in my wrist" .... this is obviously effecting your ability to function to full capacity. I'd go ahead and get it fixed now. There is a good chance that you'll...

    Smartferret posted a topic in Louisiana Nursing

    I've been watching this board for a week now waiting to see if someone else would post about receiving their letter last week. No one else has, so I'm posting. Got my acceptance last Tuesday! Who...

  6. Charity Aug. 08 Acceptance

    Smartferret replied to Smartferret's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    You are eligible for Stafford loans if you are at least half time (therefore, all semisters at CSN would be eligible). Whether subsidized or unsubsidized will depend on your income level. I don't...

    Welcome and congratulations cajunmom06. Nice to meet

  10. First on campus class. Nervous! And a question.

    Smartferret replied to *Bethany*'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We were not allowed to use a graphing calculator in Elementary Algebra. If you can't use the TI-83 I'd suggest the TI-30X II. It's only about $20 and it does fractions! I had been out of school for...

  11. Ati Study Guide

    Smartferret replied to Nervous Nursey2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Get the guide! I found the style of questions identical to the test, though I thought the test was somewhat easier than the guide. (Better that than the other way around!!!) I had been studying for...

  13. First Time Student-Clueless About Supplies

    Smartferret replied to Dream2BANurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I completely over-filled a 2 in. binder for APII w/ Lab. One inch was good for my math classes (this included homework, review work etc.). In my English classes I didn't have nearly as many notes,...

  14. First Time Student-Clueless About Supplies

    Smartferret replied to Dream2BANurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I use a three ring binder for each class with the syllabus in front, and like SHELL75 I use the post-it flags to flag my notes for each chapter. Using a binder allows you to hole punch any handouts,...

  17. i need some advice

    Smartferret replied to everythingbeth89's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It can be really hard to make decisions without knowing the facts about the particular program you want to get into. Therefore, if I were you, I'd get in touch with an adviser for the nursing school...

    Smartferret replied to debbie54's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    If your interested in Charity School of Nursing, you can email them at [email protected] and request they send you their Information Bulletin. It does a pretty good job of explaining the prereqs,...

  20. College Algebra Fall 2007

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

    I found this website: http://www.mathwizz.com/fractions/help/help2.htm that seems to have a pretty easy formula for finding the LCD. I tried on a couple of problems and it seems to work. You'd...

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

    We have to take 2 maths for my program. I took college algebra back in the spring and will begin my second math on Monday, 8/20. It's like an intro to Trig. I had a choice of that or statistics and...

  22. TEAS exam question.

    Smartferret replied to KsMICT's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I missed that one too! But it taught me that I really needed to slow down enough to read the questions so I didn't make that kind of mistake again. :trout:
