  1. HELP! What class should I take while I wait?

    MInurse2b replied to RN2B73's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Depending upon what your career goals are this should aid you in determining which classes will be most valuable and important to take. If your looking to go on for your bachelor's or higher, I would...

  2. Good assessment book?

    MInurse2b replied to jla623's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    For assessments I have found the Nurse's Handbook of Health Assessment by Janet R. Weber to be both informative and helpful. It is a small, portable, binder size book covering your head-to-toe...

  3. All Wcccd Nursing Students

    MInurse2b replied to rntoben2008's topic in Michigan Nursing

    It is quite surprising that a chapter hasn't been started at our school long ago considering all of the perks and opportunities. Plus, it is something that looks pretty good on the resume. I...

  5. A&P I and II in same semester

    MInurse2b replied to Flynner's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey look at it this way, your gpa won't suffer. You know what you can handle. But it could have surely been too difficult. One bonus of taking those classes together though is that it gives you some...

  6. What path should I take?

    MInurse2b replied to SparkleRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What's your ultimate career goal? The amount of schooling depends upon this. Say you want to become a CRNA then you'll definitely need a BSN to apply to the program. If you don't mind just working...

  7. To Clep or Not to Clep ???

    MInurse2b replied to moosiesmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Honestly I've never heard of Excelsior. Are you already a nurse? If so and your applying to U of Phoenix then I wouldn't bother with retaking the class unless your gpa is too low. Generally they'll...

  8. A&P I and II in same semester

    MInurse2b replied to Flynner's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When I was preparing for NS I took A&PII, Micro and Nutrition together in the summer! This meant I had to cover everything in fewer weeks. All I can truly say is...WHEW!! And I'd never do it...

  9. how does it look repeating classes?

    MInurse2b replied to everythingbeth89's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Are you officially admitted into the program? If the course lowers your gpa and could harm your chances of getting admitted then it might be best to retake it. It also depends upon what class you...

  10. To Clep or Not to Clep ???

    MInurse2b replied to moosiesmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Generally Clepping only awards a pass or fail. It would be lovely if you passed a Clep exam and they'd just give you an A, LOL. Unfortunately you earn no points towards your g.p.a. You just earn the...

  11. Volunteer Work?

    MInurse2b replied to icechick's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's certainly valuable to have some medical experience under your belt. It helps you to better relate to your patients, get accustomed to the operations of the hospital/nursing facilities and the...

  12. Help: Difficulty understanding medication dosage question

    MInurse2b replied to pinkiepie_RN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I posted the picture of the vial label because I wanted you students to see that each of those bottles contains 10 milliliters. :thnkg: However, there are 1000 UNITS in this bottle. I'm guessing that...

  13. Help: Difficulty understanding medication dosage question

    MInurse2b replied to pinkiepie_RN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    It's pretty hard to explain in writing but I hope I can help. I use the other formula D/A x Q instead of the proportion depending on what the problem asks for. I don't want to confuse you but first...

  14. This is going to be my mantra for nursing school!

    MInurse2b replied to wannabenursetx's topic in General Students

    LOL! Good question. I'm still trying to figure this out. I suppose people feel intimidated by others success in the program. I understand everyone wants to pass (esp with good grades) but I guess some...

  15. Things you would LOVE to say to your nursing instructors...

    MInurse2b replied to Montessori Mommy's topic in General Students

    LOL! I just finished my first semester and it felt like I'd never see the end...but I MADE IT and happily with fairly decent grades! Congrats all '09er's!

  17. This is going to be my mantra for nursing school!

    MInurse2b replied to wannabenursetx's topic in General Students

    You'll be very amazed! Shockingly I've run across many people that are way too competitive failing to realize in this program your biggest competition is only yourself. People get funny about sharing...

  18. starting accelerated nursing...advice?

    MInurse2b replied to merluv78's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Congrats! I'm in an ADN program and to me it is quite similar to an accelerated BSN program. 4rom2bRN and Bec 717 offered great advice. Adding to that: -definitely surround yourself with study...

  19. already in a pickle at Nursing School

    MInurse2b replied to I'MIV's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    That is very disappointing indeed and I certainly think your frustration is valid - however, not to the point of giving up on your dream. I am in an ADN program and this kind of stuff happens in my...
