I'm a first year nursing student and I have a learning issue that I need to get some information on. I'm trying to find out what your employers policy on documenting falls are and who gets notified....
I don't think it matters which order you go in. A&P is good to do before Micro just as Micro is good to do before A&P. But if it doesn't matter to your school, I would just sign up for Micro...
Okay, I have to admit, I am a pen clicker. But I try sooooo hard not to. I don't even realize I am doing it most of the time. Last year I had classmates point it out to me and it kind of turned...
Your school catalog doesn't give you much information. Which is kind of weird. Most schools at least give you a brief overview of their admissions process. I would be in shock if you could just...
Hello all, This is my first post in this particular forum so I apologize if this question has been asked many times. Forensic nursing has always been an area of interest to me. But it always seemed...
See now I had a 4.0 in my pre reqs but my school doesn't give +'s and -'s. A 90% is consider an A as well as a 99%. So if I passes a class with a 90%, I got a 4.0 for that
A: 94-100 B: 88-93 C: 76-87 We must also have a C to pass. I am very nervous about this grading scale. Right now my GPA is a 3.87 and I really want it to stay about that. But I understand why they...
At my school the grading scale is the same for every class in every department, except nursing. Nursing is 94-100 is an A, 88-93 is a B, and 82-87 is a C. But for the rest of the school, it is...
Daytonite, thanks for the brief history you gave us. And you make a lot of sense. I never knew that nurses were not allowed to start IVs years ago. I guess every position evolves over time. And...
CNA's in my state are definitely not allowed to give meds. And I agree that they shouldn't be allowed to. While most CNA's that I have run across are extremely competant, I too don't believe they...
I was the opposite. My GPA is high and my NET score was very low. But I got into my program. I don't know anything about your school, but your NET score is very, very good. I'm guessing that as...
I have a neighbor that has two small children and they are serious chain smokers. I've always thought that smoking around children is a form of child abuse. But I've never wanted to say anything to...
Hello North Carolina!! I live in Wyoming. But my significant other wants to move back to Charlotte after I graduate. (His parents live there). I've never been there although I have been to the east...
I took A&P I and II online and I absolutely loved it. I didn't feel like I missed a thing. We had to go to the campus on 2 Saturdays during the semester. They were all day labs. We did...
It can't hurt. Even if it doesn't make you any more competitive, why not do it anyway? I think it kind of depends on what school you're planning on going to. At my school, they didn't do any...
That's awesome that you got in!!!! :yeah::yeah::yeah: I was in the same situation as you. I had a horrid NET score. It was less than average. But I had an overall GPA of 3.86 and a 4.0 on my...
The first thing I would do is find out if you can get college credit for any of those classes you took in high school. If not, then the next thing I would od is to check on the colleges and nursing...
Maybe you're thinking of actual dissection. When my class went to BYU, we didn't do any actually dissecting. The cadavers were already dissected so all we did was observe and we were allowed to hold...
In my A&P class we mainly used cats and sheep parts. But we took a two day trip to BYU and learned from real cadavers. It was really educational. Seeing a real person is nothing like a model....
I loved my A&P instructor. She was hilarious. She talked about sex a lot. Not in a bad way though. We were watching a movie about the process of conception and she threw in some of her own...
I can't imagine why there would be anything wrong with that. As long as you keep it to small talk so his current nurse doesn't think you're trying to take over. And I think I would tell her that you...
I know that now. Which is why I'm not going to say anything. They are my neighbors and I have to see them every day. The main thing that made me decide not to do anything is that as several others...
Because I thought that becoming a health care professional meant that I would have an obligation to help people. Guess some people don't feel that way. But as I've already stated, I don't plan on...
