  1. Great Hesi A2 Practice Site

    ThatPoshGirl replied to NICUplease's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm just bumping this up because there isn't a sticky for the A2 and I thought maybe some other people would have useful links we could collect

  2. College Algebra or Finate Math

    ThatPoshGirl replied to FutureRN1976's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's kind of weird. Maybe the finite math course there has dimensional analysis. Or maybe they think you need probability for nursing. I'm trying to think of a reason you would and can't come up...

  3. College Algebra or Finate Math

    ThatPoshGirl replied to FutureRN1976's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, Finite Math (I assume that is what you meant) has a lot of probability in it. I personally hate probability and you don't really need it in nursing. What you do need is dimensional analysis...

  4. Here is a crazy question

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

    There are folders that can hold a couple of

  5. Algerbra

    ThatPoshGirl replied to dallet6's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you don't know I can tell you that if the last term is positive it means that both factors will have the same sign (see how they are both negative). And the sign of the second term shows you what...

    ThatPoshGirl replied to dallet6's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nevermind, you are factoring not

  7. Medical Assistant Prog before nursing

    ThatPoshGirl replied to carlarenee02's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I made the same mistake. I got hired after my externship into a "part-time" temporary position by a major health care conglomerate. They worked me 39 hours a week for six months and then let me go....

  8. Medical Assistant Prog before nursing

    ThatPoshGirl replied to carlarenee02's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Speaking as a former MA, I say don't bother. (I know it is too late for the OP but for anyone else). MA jobs are hard to come by and the pay and benefits are not good. If your cc has a cna program...

  9. Here is a crazy question

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

    I have two bags and which I carry depends on how many books I have to haul. One is an eBags "Savvy LapTop" tote in pink. It is fairly roomy and includes a laptop sleeve that I really like. My first...

  10. Should I retake Eng 102?

    ThatPoshGirl posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took Eng 102 in Spring and I was really embarassed to end up with a B. All of my coursework was As but I missed several days and the instructor dropped my grade. The reason that I missed the days...

  11. Math!!!!

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

    You may want to think about this some more. As you said, you haven't picked up a math book in years. Consider spending a couple of weeks with some math books. Your nursing program will probably...

  12. Should I retake Eng 102?

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

    It brought me from a 3.9 to a 3.85. The 3.9 was because I got an A- in French. My cc lets you retake any class and they only count the highest grade. I actually thought about retaking French but...

  13. New to the "college"world?

    ThatPoshGirl replied to penguinforlife's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I felt this way when I went back to school at 31. The nice thing about CCs is that you are most definitely not alone. I'm in Phi Theta Kappa and I think I might actually be the 2nd youngest regular...

  14. Should I retake Eng 102?

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

    Yeah the attendance policy was in the syllabus. I emailed him three times and visited him in his office twice. He definitely knew what was going on. If I had realized he was going to be that strict...

  15. My Chem teacher is making me doubt myself, and class has not even started

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

    Its interesting that chem isn't even required for my program. It's a recommended pre-req for gen biology. I didn't take it, though, and am doing just fine in gen

  16. Anatomy & Physiology Fall 2008

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

    We are starting August 25. My summer term ends July 31. So just about a month to prepare for

  17. Math!!!!

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

    Hey, what math did you test into and can you retake the placement

  18. Being a tutor, good idea or not?

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

    I'm tutoring math in the fall and I'm looking forward to it. It will be my first time tutoring, but people always ask me to help them in class, so I hope I will be good at it. I'm supposed to do 10...

  19. Paying for books

    ThatPoshGirl replied to DreamyEyes's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with the look online suggestions. The amazon market place has some really good deals. Sometimes you can get brand new books like less than half the retail

  20. Anatomy & Physiology Fall 2008

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

    The Barcharts atlas says it covers 15 systems, but I can't name them because I can't afford to buy any books yet.

  21. Exams unfair, and prof won't do anything about it.

    ThatPoshGirl replied to katmarieRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your school probably has a process by which you can appeal your grade. Keep a record of the types of questions that are being tested on that are outside of the asigned reading. I'm in this process...

  22. I Got the Minimester A&P II Blues

    ThatPoshGirl replied to Absolutely13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Good luck. I'm glad you met with him to work things out. It's good news that he is curving the grade. Are there any extra credit

  23. My Chem teacher is making me doubt myself, and class has not even started

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

    Well, first I am glad he is teaching chem and not English. I think he is just expressing general concern. If you feel like you can handle the course load and your job then go for it. If you think...

  24. Viagra for women...

    ThatPoshGirl replied to Jack_ICU's topic in General Nursing

    I believe it works exactly the same way it works for men, more blood to the genitalia for increased sensitivity. The problem that I see is that just because a woman isn't having an orgasm doesn't...

  25. College Algebra in the summer, anyone?

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

    I highly, highly, highly recommend a book called Practical Algebra: A Self-Teaching Guide and a software product called "Algebra: Solved!" When I originally took my college's placement exam I tested...
