    Destination1 replied to AllSmiles225's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow, I know several people who wish they would have been accepted into a nursing program before they had to take A&P or Chemistry. Most who dont get accepted blame a low gpa on those classes. As...

    Destination1 replied to Ted D's topic in General Nursing

    Chemistry was not a pre-reg for the anatomy or physiology classes I took so Its not unheard of. but it was required for the BSN program I am in. Like you I really didnt want to take it. It turned out...

  3. What would you have answered?

    Destination1 replied to tbell2's topic in General Students

    I'm going with C. Isn't it more important to know the patient is breathing and has a pulse than whether or not he/she is conscious at first? once that's determined worry about why he/she isn't...

  4. older students returning to college

    Destination1 replied to 3babygirls's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Also I forgot to add that the ratio of applicants to seats available is around 3:1 but the pool is narrowed substantially because they get tons of incomplete applications and applications from those...

  6. I wish I had studied this before Nursing 101.......

    Destination1 replied to twins2005's topic in General Students

    The thing that threw me for a loop was the medical terminology. Coming from a non-medical back ground this was a tough one. We did not take a med. term. class but had to pass a terminology test in the...

    Destination1 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    If its only a snow storm we are expected to show up on time. However around here bad weather in the winter = ICE. A totally different creature. You can not drive on ice. Period. Most cant even walk on...

    Destination1 replied to moonischasingme1's topic in General Nursing

    Destination1 replied to ohcomeon's topic in General Nursing

  21. army...

    Destination1 replied to neyalynn's topic in General Nursing

    The only other thing I have to ad is that the ecs program is NOT a blanket protection from deployment. It only applies to the Iraq/Afgan campaigns. If another war is started or the president decides...

  22. army...

    Destination1 replied to neyalynn's topic in General Nursing

    The pay and benefits for 1 weekend a month is not that great... also wouldn't you still work as a civilian nurse between drill weekends? This is one reason the 8 year commitment could come back and...

  23. army...

    Destination1 replied to neyalynn's topic in General Nursing

    Just remember the recruiters job is to get you to sign the contract. Most recruiters today are honest but the -accidental- omission is still common. If you go this route make sure the non-deployable...

  24. army...

    Destination1 replied to neyalynn's topic in General Nursing

    My advice to you would be, if there is anyway possible, to finish your BSN before you join. There is a world of difference between the enlisted ranks and the officer corp. Get your degree and you can...
