  1. Will NICU experience make me a competitive applicant?

    tinybabynurse replied to tinybabynurse's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Thanks for the replies, great points to think about. Cathy, I'm just curious if you don't mind sharing what made you rethink NNP and decide on

  2. taking A&P and micro together?

    tinybabynurse replied to metalgirl70's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took A&P I, Micro, and Chem all at once and it was intense. Everyone is different, but I got A's in all 3, and spent the least time by far on Chem...I don't know if that helps or not. It was...

  3. Accelerated BSN Programs

    tinybabynurse replied to srleslie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You can also do DANTE tests for the philosophy and religion credits. I took Ethics in America and World Religions a little over a month ago...$70 per test and you don't have to sit through 16 weeks of...

  4. Deciding between RN vs PA vs MD

    tinybabynurse replied to xpinchx's topic in General Nursing

    Only you know what is best for you... But, you're asking for opinions, so I'll tell you what I'm doing. I have a B.S. in education and about a year ago I decided that I wanted to be a P.A. I began...

  5. GPA and Acceptance

    tinybabynurse replied to kmyRN's topic in General Students

    I agree with the others, you seem like a strong candidate. I've been accepted to an ABSN w/GPA 3.5, pre-req's 4.0...and no health care experience at all. It's a pretty competitive program...almost...

  6. How to find place that pay for schooling?

    tinybabynurse replied to Momma.Heart's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks, that's interesting...I need to look at general scholarships too I guess. I can't get grants since I already have a B.S. It just scares me to get into debt, but ultimately I'll be much better...

  7. How to find place that pay for schooling?

    tinybabynurse replied to Momma.Heart's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    CuriousMe, Do you mind me asking how you got so much scholarship $$? I have some loans in place but Stafford won't cover it all and I hate to do private loans.

  8. Regis University or Metro State

    tinybabynurse replied to allieboballie's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Hey Ashley! Congrats on making it to the interview, that's great! Unfortunately, they just started doing interviews with the applicants for May '09, so I didn't have to do an interview. I can tell...

  9. Is this Common?

    tinybabynurse posted a topic in Emergency

    Hi...I have a question... I know the ER sees everything, but is it common to see a person that thinks they may have a DVT? Do you usually scan the leg in the ER or refer the pt to get one? Thanks!...

  10. Calling all Chemistry students and Chemistry lovers.

    tinybabynurse replied to msdeannah's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sounds like my Chem 101 class this past spring. None of it was really *hard*, the problem is that everything tends to build on previous concepts so it's not like you can just forget the stuff once...

  11. Is this Common?

    tinybabynurse replied to tinybabynurse's topic in Emergency

    Thanks

  12. CHEMISTRY: Need I say more ;-/

    tinybabynurse replied to JBGC4's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took A&P I, Micro, and Chem 101 last spring semester. I had never had Chemistry either and my instructor wasn't good. Honestly though, I did get an A and I spent the least amount of time on...

  13. A & P.....using index cards..........

    tinybabynurse replied to karen230's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I used flash cards (made my own) for both A&P's (got very high A's in both). I maybe ended up with about 200 for each class though. For each chapter I would review my notes and use the flashcards...

  14. pre-requisites

    tinybabynurse replied to nursestudent1975's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Definitely check out the school's app deadlines...I mean, if it means you have to wait another year to apply b/c you didn't take all those classes this semester then maybe it would be worth it to do...

  15. Rn career and being a mother

    tinybabynurse replied to Qka's topic in General Nursing

    I have a friend who graduated a year ago and is about to have her 1st child in a couple of weeks...she works 2 12-hr shifts per week, is considered full time and gets benefits. She doesn't have to...

  16. In need of words of encouragement or advice.............

    tinybabynurse replied to karen230's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Karen, It sounds like you are a good planner...sometimes you just have to alter your plans to get where you want to be. You don't have to feel badly about it...everyone has roadblocks in the way on...

  17. I cringed on the inside

    tinybabynurse replied to beachbum3's topic in General Nursing

    The fact is that some kids have a natural tendency to be heavier, and if you don't have one then it's super easy to say that it's the simplest thing in the world to keep your kids thin. I have 5 kids...

  18. bad idea?

    tinybabynurse replied to future nicu nurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was in a similar situation last semester...the application deadline was May 15, but I needed A&P, Chem, and Micro in order to be able to apply...and I really needed A's in all 3. Well, I dove...

  19. Lots of pre-req questions!

    tinybabynurse replied to kzgraham07's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I second the ratemyprofesor.com idea. When you want/need to get going with your schooling and you don't have time to mess around with insane teachers, it sure helps. Have you thought about CLEP/DANTE...

  20. Better clinicals with BSN program???

    tinybabynurse replied to litebrightgirl's topic in General Students

    I have heard from a friend of mine who is a preceptor that she notices that the BSN students have more "book" knowledge and the ADN students have more hands-on skills. Like others have said though, I...

  21. Pregnant!! Anyone else?

    tinybabynurse replied to heavenly14313's topic in General Students

    I am so very very sorry, I've been there and it is heartbreaking. Take care of yourself physically and

  22. Regis University or Metro State

    tinybabynurse replied to allieboballie's topic in Colorado Nursing

    From what they told us at the info mtg, they weigh your ungrad gpa and your sciences pre-req's (A&P I and II, Micro, and Chem) gpa equally and yes, it is much more competitive than a 2.5. My gpa...

  23. Regis University or Metro State

    tinybabynurse replied to allieboballie's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Hi, I will be starting the Accelerated BSN program at Regis Jan '09. Honestly, I never really looked into the program at Metro. The two programs I considered were Regis and CU, but Regis is so much...

  24. ski passes

    tinybabynurse replied to seabiscuitRN's topic in Colorado Nursing

    If you're going to be doing travel nursing and you want to ski/snowboard, I would also highly recommend looking into Utah (Salt Lake City). I live in Denver now, but have also lived in Utah and the...

  25. physical test before nursing class

    tinybabynurse replied to love2nurse4life's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would also recommend the health dept. for shots. There was about a 2 yr period where the health insurance we had didn't cover immunizations and my kiddos were little...so we did not have them do...
