  2. How did you get an "A" in anatomy?

    pharmgirl replied to Diver Dude's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The only thing I can add to all of the above posters who offer fantastic advice is to never walk into class not completely understanding the previous class lecture. AP seems to build, i made sure...

    pharmgirl replied to ~FutureNurse~'s topic in General Students

    Someone told me when school started to never study with someone who is not on the same "wave" as you, they will bring you down. (sounds horrible I know). Try to find someone who is getting the same,...

    pharmgirl replied to obicurn's topic in General Students

  8. Male Nurse Insert a Foley

    pharmgirl replied to NewTexasRN's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I find it very difficult to believe the OP is an RN at this point. I too am a bit offended at the reference of rape. It is amazing to me that this reference is made to a male nurse and foley...

  11. $31,500...is that too much for a lpn program?

    pharmgirl replied to trixiemunson's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    pharmgirl replied to msdeannah's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  15. Being a tutor, good idea or not?

    pharmgirl replied to Scooter321's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I tutored A&P I and II last semester. I was also taking AP II at the same time. Tutoring was very beneficial for me as it kept me refreshed, concreted the knowledge and offered me basically study...

    pharmgirl replied to SimbaCat's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  20. should I cut my hair?

    pharmgirl replied to picurn10's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I've always had long hair too but when I did my CNA clinicals and having 4 kids, I just couldn't find the time. So I whacked it off. Much like another poster said.....wedged in the back and slightly...

    pharmgirl replied to Dancinagain's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  24. In order to get into nursing schools what is the lowest GPA needed to be considered

    pharmgirl replied to Mrfox90's topic in General Students

    I would say it depends. I'm sure the school has a certain criteria it tries to go by but it is going to fill those spots for the program no matter what. So if the applicant pool has an unusually low...

  25. Why are Nursing Programs so hard to get into?

    pharmgirl replied to HeyHeyitsMaay's topic in LPN, LVN Students
