  1. Question for current nursing students:

    TheSquire replied to jil_'s topic in General Students

    Micro - I never formally took the course, and it helps when you need to remember what antibiotics kill what nasties in

  2. Pre-Nursing Courses, ABSN, and GPA

    TheSquire replied to corinth13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sounds like you should repost some of the Portland-area-specific stuff in the Oregon Nursing Programs forum under the "Region" tab at the top of the

  3. Paying for Nursing School

    TheSquire replied to GaLara's topic in General Students

    Am in a grad-entry program, and I have a buttload of federal loans - GradPLUS on top of the Stafford

  4. How many people who start NS finish?

    TheSquire replied to BillyMan's topic in General Students

    I'll admit to being blunt, as her post was off-topic and as such I was not about to address it in full, but how was it not positive? I told her my personal assessment, gave her a direction to go in,...

  5. Community Health at UIUC or Nursing at Lakeview?

    TheSquire replied to LittleZee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You can also take your bachelor's degree and do the Graduate-entry program at Rush or the Masters-entry program at DePaul once you get around to

  6. How many people who start NS finish?

    TheSquire replied to BillyMan's topic in General Students

    For one - you should really start your own thread, so that your issues can be addressed by the community at large. Secondly, it sounds like you have stress and/or coping issues, and need to work on...

  7. Dosage Calc. Study Aids before NS

    TheSquire replied to on eagles wings's topic in General Students

    Taking Gen Chem I and doing dimensional analysis problems over and over again until we got them right. Learn that and you won't need any fancy formulas - you'll be able to solve medication problems...

  8. A thread EVERYONE should read before posting

    TheSquire posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ...and no, it's not this thread itself, but Posting advice: "I can't do this, ...I don't understand you"over in the General Nursing Forum. Yes, I know it was highlighted in the allnurses.com...

  9. A thread EVERYONE should read before posting

    TheSquire replied to TheSquire's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Fair enough - hence my comment that even an attempt at trying to be understandable goes a long way. However, I refuse to try to porifice one-and-a-half screen lengths of text with scanty punctuation...

  10. A thread EVERYONE should read before posting

    TheSquire replied to TheSquire's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Neither do I - one can hope that reminders like this will help others think about how they write, though, so we see less of that kind of

  11. Easier Admission?

    TheSquire replied to Ariesonmars123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do you have a bachelors

  12. Is Phlebotomy taught in Nursing school?

    TheSquire replied to amanda1266's topic in General Students

    While I've never heard of any nursing program having a class specifically on phlebotomy, vascular access is a part of the curriculum, including blood draws and peripheral IV starts. My school...

  13. How long does it take to get endorsed in IL?

    TheSquire replied to amj12's topic in Illinois Nursing

    this is a horribly off-topic question - please post it one of the student forums (or have a staff member kindly move this post to a new thread over there) so that it may be

  14. i need affiliations :(

    TheSquire replied to achinor027's topic in International Nursing

    PRC? Huh? Is this a local or school-specific

  15. My school's program was written by a monkey

    TheSquire replied to simplebliss's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So, if it's a prereq for a prereq, they know you'll take it, and if you're an informed student you'll factor such classes to your plan of study to take the right courses in the proper order. I fail to...

  16. Dating classmates?

    TheSquire replied to AragornSkywalker's topic in Male Nursing Students

    The bolded reason is the one which caused me to decide that this was a bad idea. Consider for a moment what happens when a break-up occurs: your new ex-gf goes and complains about you to her friends...

  17. Pre-Nursing Students in Illinois.............

    TheSquire replied to Lasandra's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So...why'd you title your post for pre-nursing students in IL, when you're asking about something not limited to IL. Normally I send people to post in the IL forums, but really you should search the...

  18. Second bachelors degree in nursing advice!!

    TheSquire replied to cnicole's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It doesn't look bad to have transcripts from multiple schools - lots of people decide at some point to change careers and go to a school of convenience to knock-off their prereqs. As long as the...

  19. Do you get your final exam grade?

    TheSquire replied to Nurse Connie's topic in General Students

    My program posts final exam grades and uses blackboard as well, but half the time the grades page is such a mess you still need to jot down the results, consult the syllabus, and compute your grade...

  20. Clinicals ---

    TheSquire replied to sunbug's topic in General Students

    You seem to think that your Med-Surg rotation will be different from your geriatric rotation in ways other than a change in setting. Where do you think all those half-neglected nursing home patients...

  21. How much do I need to know about sports?

    TheSquire replied to AragornSkywalker's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I'm really happy that Spring Quarter wound down last week, so I could (and can continue to) appreciate the Stanley Cup Finals this year. Go

  22. ATI assessment and testing modules??

    TheSquire replied to misslisa's topic in General Students

    For one, I thought that you were generally excluded from things you were excepted from - perhaps you mean "accepted"? Secondly, I think you're taking a form of entrance test, which is different from...

  23. Help on a science question plz

    TheSquire replied to luisaf7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Except for wobble pairs in tRNA, when you get to introduce Inosine which pairs with Cytosine, Uracil, and Adenine while Guanine also pairs with Uracil in addition to

    There's a whole forum for questions like this - click on the "Region" tab and find "TN Nursing

  25. What clinical rotations does your nursing school offer?

    TheSquire replied to Missy BSN's topic in General Students

    My program was med-surg, Psych/Physical Rehab (split quarter, the latter being a glorified med-surg rotation in a specialized environment), Critical Care (ICU), OB/Peds (split quarter), and will...
