    I get so stressed during check-offs!!

    manna replied to kcrn2b's topic in General Students

    Nervous? Oh YEAH! I was so nervous during our first check-offs over the summer, that while doing a "mock" enema, I forgot to wash my hands! Eek! I caught myself, and thankfully my instructor was a...

    manna replied to Taleah's topic in General Nursing

    Here's a little blurb - I wouldn't let this discourage you, though. Talk to the advisors/faculty at your particular program, and get their input on this issue! Good luck! :) Any individual having...

    I'd never heard that word either! Had to click on this thread to find out what the heck it was about! :chuckle We had our pharm calc mastery exam last week - had to make a 95 or better to progress...

    what needs to do to apply CRNA program

    manna replied to quantumsense's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    My understanding is - why limit yourself? Keep your grades as high as possible. And don't close your mind to any other opportunities that might present themselves. Good luck!

    Do You Regret Nursing School?

    manna replied to ladylou88's topic in General Students

    There are times when I find myself wishing I was doing something more related to the medical model (I'd dreamed of going to med school before I had children)... but those thoughts are fleeting and...

    Early Morning Clinicals

    manna replied to abundantjoy07's topic in General Students

    My clinical is about an hour drive away, but some of the clinical sites my school has are up to 2 hours drive away from my home. Clinical hours vary, from beginning between 6-7am, running 6-9 hours...

    Boring Part Of BSN

    manna replied to freelancer's topic in General Students

    We have a community class during our senior year (BSN), but I think we do some community in the spring (junior year) as well. I have no idea what it entails, so not sure if I'll loathe or love it....

    Our nursing class grading scale is WAY easy...

    manna replied to klone's topic in General Students

    My school's scale is the same as Ali_Oop07's. 75 is passing, grades are not rounded AT ALL. They also do the whole +/- thing on final grades, which is sort of throwing me off as far as how GPAs are...

    I have to be bathed by my classmate???

    manna replied to Saved_by_Grace's topic in General Students

    We did cohort check-offs on hygiene (bed baths, hygiene, tooth brushing, etc), so we actually could do as little or as much bathing as we saw fit. In actuality, we wore shorts and t-shirts and just...

    How far as too far to drive to college? how far would you drive ?

    manna replied to azebe00's topic in General Nursing

    Like others, I'll agree that it depends on the conditions (roads, times, etc) as well as you. I will say, though, that I drive to a school that is around 65 miles from my home. I make that trip five...

    How many quit???

    manna replied to Deb123j's topic in General Nursing

    Don't be scared by drop out rates, why not ask your school's statistics (if they keep records from year to year)? The BSN program I'm attending averages 1-2 drop-outs per 50-60 person class by...

    How many books do you have to buy?

    manna replied to Truly_Blessed's topic in General Students

    I'm in a BSN program, and once I buy my fall books I'll have a total of 29. Total cost of around $1200. Those books will be the ones we use for the next 2 years, though, so if you take that into...

    Sinus problems...who has had surgery?

    manna replied to webbiedebbie's topic in General Nursing

    Like the previous poster, I had a septorhinoplasty (in 1999) after 2 years of chronic sinus infections. Best decision I ever made. Surgery was not fun (it was surgery, after all)... I was off work...

    Unemployment, quitting work, and going to college

    manna posted a topic in General Students

    Someone told me they'd heard a rumor that in some instances you can draw unemployment if you leave your job to go back to school? Anyone ever heard of or have any experience with that? I just...

    How do you study for a comprehensive FINAL Exam?

    manna replied to cherokeesummer's topic in General Students

    Cramming is useless, or that's what they always say. I'm sure you'll do fine if you've kept ahead all semester and retained what you've learned. Good luck!

    What Grades Do I Really Need To Be Accpeted?

    I know absolutely nothing about the Canadian university system, so I'll leave this one to someone else. I will say - though - good luck!

    What Grades Do I Really Need To Be Accpeted?

    Are you from Canada or the U.S.? Do you intend to go to a public university or a more selective private one - or maybe even a junior/community college for your
