  1. Anyone getting in shape?

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

    My DH and I have a long running debate about my fitness routine. I do yoga and pilates 3-4 times a week. He runs and lifts weights (and says that my girly exercises don't count.) My argument is...

    Smartferret replied to Metry_RN's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    I got mine at the Slidell public health clinic. (It's in the professional building across from Northshore Hosp. - I'm lazy, I'll let you look up the number.) I brought the info that I needed this for...

    Smartferret replied to jemommyRN's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    I scheduled my exam date the day after the announcement showed up on the website. Got my study guide in the mail today! I have to tell you I was so freaked out when I first heard that the PAX-RN...

    Smartferret replied to Gannon1qb's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My DH went from karate school owner to RN. Can't get much further from heathcare experience than that! He is now a wonderful nurse specializing in oncology. He is one of the reasons I want to be a...

  5. Totally Freaking Out! :(

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

    FORGET your previous experiences with math!!!! I did so bad in HS Algebra 1 that my mother made me take it again as she knew that I'd never do well in Algebra 2 with the grades I got. (Let's face...

  6. Recommended digital voice recorders?

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

    I have an Olympus VN-3100PC. The one thing you need to know is that while this model does export recordings in .wav format, they are compressed and can't be converted into either .mp3 format or...

  7. Totally Freaking Out! :(

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

    The COMPASS test is a placement test to determine what math classes you need to take. Your nursing program will probably require at least college algebra and maybe statistics. If you don't test well...

  8. Dosage calculation ???

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

    I am not a nurse, or even a nursing student yet, but I calculate that 62.5 mg is 17% less than 75 mg. If you halved the pill, then quartered one half and gave 5/8ths ( half + 1/4 of the other half)...

    Smartferret replied to moonbeam06's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If students graduating from Weatherford's nursing program are eligible to take the NCLEX-RN and be licensed by the state of Texas then the program is properly accredited. Nursing assistant vs....

  13. anyone try to test out of anatomy?

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

    If I were you I'd probably be trying to test out as well. A&P is a subject that can be easily reviewed through self-study. I'd look on the A&P I and II threads and see if you can find links...

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

    Smartferret replied to jessica<3RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
