I applied for Mayo Summer 3 too! I've been waiting to see if anyone else on here applied. I am so nervous and excited! I'm glad they decide fast because I don't know if I could wait more than a few weeks! My GPA is alright but I don't have any experi...

I don't know much about iphone (i have an ipod touch that I use as my PDA and it's great!), but I was just reading the other day about an app for iphone that works as a voice recorder. Sorry, I can't remember what it was called but it might be someth...

Hey guys! I'm starting nursing school next year and I have a question for all of you... For our clinicals I have to have an all-white shoe with a closed toe and heel. I've done some looking and haven't really found anything I like all that much (as f...

I took the TEAS in September and I didn't find that any of my pre-reqs in college would have helped with it. More than prereqs, I would review high school/middle school stuff. Most of the things are not advanced, but actually pretty basic - especiall...

COUNT ME IN!! I've been ready to be done with prereqs since i started them! Especially this semester...the prereqs are getting harder and I'm so ready to not have to deal with them anymore. I don't mind hard when it comes to nursing school, but I am...

Well, I'm not a "huge" cat lover, but I do have a cat and thought that I wouldn't like dissecting one. It really wasn't that bad though. I thought the smell was worse than the actual idea that you were dissecting an animal. One big thing is that I d...

Hi, everyone! I'm still in nursing school but I love reading all your posts about NICU issues - they are so informative and really interesting (as you can see from my name, I want to work in the NICU after I graduate!). On that note, we had a lady fr...

jjrz1037 - This is a great question, but I think you would probably get more answers if you moved your post to the General Nursing Student Forum. This is the pre-nursing student forum so even though most of the people reading this (myself included) ...

Sorry for posting again, but I wanted to try to make my question more clear. I was searching more for any other threads about wearing nursing shoes for clinicals, but most people are asking for suggestions of what type of shoes to buy. I am asking w...

Do you have any problems with the hospitals where you do clinicals not allowing you to use a smartphone as your pda since most of them do not allow cell phones? I'm starting nursing school next year and I am required to get a pda. I think it would be...

BMLEX - No, I didn't mail my app and fee because I go to school there already so I just dropped it off at the office. But I'm sure you can mail it to them no problem. And yes, the recommendation forms are sent in by the people who fill them out becau...

I'm not sure if they give the same essay topic to everyone or not, but mine was something about what qualities, background...do you have or went through that made you choose to get a BSN in nursing. They give you a blank piece of paper with the quest...

I took the TEAS in September and did pretty good. I think the best thing to do is get the guide from ATI cause the questions are just like the real thing (some of them are actually harder). Focus a lot on math and science. The math is basic (but no c...

Hi BMLEX010 I attend Palm Beach Atlantic and I am prenursing. I'm a sophomore so I don't start officially until next fall (sort of start in the spring). I've taken all my pre-reqs at PBA so I was in the Guaranteed Acceptance program that 2b-nurse men...

I just finalized my Spring 09 classes today...oh, boy! My program is officially 4 semesters starting next fall, but in the spring we take half nursing classes and half gen ed pre-reqs before starting the real program. So my classes will be: Gen: A+P ...

Good job on your test msdeanah! Oooh, moles...they are tough but luckily I learned them in my hs chem class so in college they weren't so hard. I don't really have any tips except learn them good now so you are not behind later! Conversions are proba...

Yeah, aubs is right, you only need the charge when an element is bonded with another. The charge of an element does not matter when it is alone - so the Al and Ca are written as is for that part. Hope you do good on your test!

...I can read a book and not have to take notes on it! I used to love reading for fun, but ever since I started school the thought of reading a book (even one I might actually like) almost makes me sick. I do so much reading I don't have time for fun...

I can't wait until... I can say "I'm a nursing student" instead of "pre-nursing" student (Yes, I am so sick of pre-reqs - I want to get into some real stuff! ) Great thread idea stacygirl:yeah:

Dondie, I found most of the blogs I read just by googling "nursing blogs" or "Nursing student blogs". It took a lot of trial and error to find ones that I liked or that updated them normally (some of the blogs out there haven't been updated in years)...

A lot of nurses and nursing students have blogs that they basically use as journals (but probably not as personal since anyone can see it). I have really enjoyed reading them the past year or so that I have been pre-nursing. I am actually thinking of...

Did you try the link or type in the website? I just tried both and it worked so I can't really say why yours isn't working... Maybe if you google ratemyprofessors.com it will bring up another link that will work?

I like ratemyprofessors.com too! It's not always helpful because some teachers are not on there, but for the most part it at least helps you eliminate some of the not so good ones. I would say that the most important thing about the site, though, is ...

I am in the same position as you Whiteshadows23. I have never worked in a healthcare setting but I think it would be really helpful before I start nursing school. But I've been working at a grocery store for five years now, and they are super-flexib...

Just curious... What is a normal bilirubin level? I'm not a NICU nurse, I'm just a pre-nursing student who hopes to be one after I graduate and I love learning so many interesting things from this forum!
