  1. Anyone taken the NLN recently?

    SierraMoon replied to GCTMT's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took it today. The science is much worse than the math. Math was mostly decimals, fractions, percents and converting between the three. Tedious but not too horribly difficult (watch me bomb this...

    SierraMoon replied to butterfly135's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm sitting with my sprained ankle elevated. Just what I wanted for Christmas. It's swollen and bruised from my ankle to my toenails. I'm Frankenfoot. I also registered for my NLN-PAX in January....

  4. A&P II Spring 2009, anyone?

    SierraMoon replied to Nepenthe Sea's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking it. Just finished A&P I last week . I'm actually looking forward to it because I feel so more informed about the human body after A&P I. It's interesting

  6. Online Cna Training?!?

    SierraMoon replied to gkbroaro's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I took a combo class thru the Red Cross. We completed the book online and did lab in person at the Red Cross and clinicals at a local nursing home. It did cost around

  7. qualities needed for CNA

    SierraMoon replied to k777's topic in General Nursing

    The ability to deal with crap, literal and figurative. Other than that, patience, empathy, cheerful nature, genuine concern for the patient's comfort, and a sense of humor will come in

    SierraMoon replied to CracklinRose's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We had a practical quiz in lab yesterday on bones. Wow, is it ever intimidating. I think I did okay, except for writing coronal instead of coronoid . I think every bone name and feature I knew was...

  11. Math!!!!

    SierraMoon replied to pristock230's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I started out in basic algebra (remedial/developmental; got a C) and worked my way up to Stats (B). I just clinched my first ever A in math for an applied mathematics class (the preferred math for...

  12. Clueless Pre-Nursing Student

    SierraMoon replied to RedEyeBrat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm working through that book myself right now. I can tell I need to improve my speed for the math (I miss my calculator so much). The answer key for verbal is wrong in several places, FYI. Don't let...

    SierraMoon replied to CracklinRose's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  14. What was the hardest skill for you to learn?

    SierraMoon replied to FutureNurse33702's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I found taking a pulse difficult. BP was easy for me. I wish I took vitals at my job to get in some practice. I'm trying to do my own right now but I guess I'm dead .

  15. Change from ADN to BSN?

    SierraMoon replied to modelmama07's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A BSN is not great prep for med school. You'll need a lot more science. If you want to go to med school, consider majoring in chem or

  16. Opinions needed!

    SierraMoon replied to cloggersmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took Early World Lit and loved it. Art History is another fun one. If cultural anthropology is on the list, take that. I found it very interesting and helpful in developing an understanding of...

  17. And the Craziness Continues

    SierraMoon replied to rozlips's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah, that's normal. You just have to keep chugging

  18. ECTC or JCC for RN?

    SierraMoon posted a topic in General Nursing

    Or maybe I should just apply to both :chuckle ? I'm looking for information, impressions, whatever, that you all might have of these programs. Is one easier to get into? Does one have a significantly...

  19. Pre-Nurse Job

    SierraMoon replied to nurse2B0712's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Why not get your CNA? I work nights in assisted living with a memory care unit and basically get paid to study . It's helped my comfort level tremendously, as I'm learning to deal with gross...

  20. What pre-reqs are you taking this fall?

    SierraMoon replied to klkozicki's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking A&P I and Intro to Interpersonal Comm. I took speech in the past but only got a C (my last speech was too long and ruined a nice B:imbar ) so the last one will replace that because it's...

  21. Resume advice

    SierraMoon replied to curlysue82's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Assisted living facilities sometimes do not require certification. I was a clerk in a law firm before I moved to KY and let me tell you, don't kill yourself writing a resume :chuckle. I don't think...

  22. GPA little low

    SierraMoon replied to Lastdon9680's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think you should consider retaking your pre-reqs to improve your GPA. Most schools will let you repeat them at least once. I guess there might be some private schools that would take a 2.25 but I...

  23. Compass Entrance Exam

    SierraMoon replied to cabo2341's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've seen LPN programs that do require Compass scores above a certain level for admittance. It's a pretty straightforward test. On the math section, be prepared for fractions, percents, square roots...
