  1. Background checks, military discharge, etc

    Where can we do a background check on
  2. B.S. or A.D.???

    Just being honest but if you can't handle bodily fluids I don't think RT is the way to go either. They are constantly suctioning trach patients and do come in contact with bodily fluids on a regular...
  3. Already have a BA, Associate's RN or BSN? Question

    Can anyone answer this question though--- Is an RN who has a bachelor's degree in another field (lets say Psychology for arguments sake) equal to a BSN? If someone gets an ASN in nursing after they...
  4. I have been told also that LPNs are being phased out in my state. From what I have heard none of the hospitals are hiring recent LPN grads. I think you need to know what you are getting into before...
  5. How competitive is your school of choice?

    How in the world do they handle doing 500
  6. Am I too old to just be starting?

    You are never to old. The only time it is too late is after you are
  7. Why do a lot of people aim for the bare minimum?

    Honestly it is sad that these type of people are taking the precious few nursing school seats away from others who might give a darn. I also find it scary that people like this are going into health...
  8. GHC January Admission RN Track

    Thank you. That does
  9. Turned off by fellow nursing students...

    This is my opinion and is more of a general view of women more so than just nursing students-- don't assume because someone is "older" that she is "mature" or above being catty and juvenile. From what...
  10. GHC January Admission RN Track

    I know they have a pre-admission work sheet where you can check on how many points you have. Do either of you know if you need to have all of the pre-reques done before submitting the application? I...
  11. Accepted - but now I have cold feet!

    You are not crazy.. you are scared! Take a deep breath- it is going to be ok! Put that acceptance letter in the mail today. You have come too far and worked too hard to give up now! I know that the...
  12. A & P I Quick Question

    I hate to say this, but if you think bones are hard wait until you cover muscles. There are about a bazillion, and you generally need to know origin and insertion of each
  13. You need to get into the mindset that this is about YOU. I am concerned that you used her notes and relied on her to help you get through the class. I think your DH is right and is giving you very...
  14. Retake Pre-req, vey concern BCC

    Look into academic renewal. Your school may or may not offer it. They require a certain number of credit hours that count towards a "new" GPA and your old GPA is wiped away. Call the registrar and...
  15. Anatomy Flash Cards/Coloring Book...

    Netter's flash cards are very helpful. I bought the coloring book but didn't use it. I looked at it a few times, for extra reference. I found that the coloring takes way too long. We never had much...
  16. bad idea?

    Yes, in fact, I have tried taking multiple science classes in one semester. I will NEVER do that again. Good for you that you have done it and can maintain good grades, that's GREAT! I still stand by...
  17. Too nice to be a nurse?

    This girl is jealous of you for whatever reason. Stay away from her. She is trying to manipulate you. Do not engage in any banter with her over this issue. Just smile, say "I'm sorry you feel that...
  18. Online Classes

    The easier classes (the ones mentioned here) are very do-able online. I will recommend that you either visit rate my professor.com OR ask someone from your school about what particular teacher is the...
  19. bad idea?

    I would not recommend taking all three science courses together in one
  20. Investing In A Good Stethoscope

    Has anyone here tried Ultrascope? I keep reading about
  21. I never took college algebra, but I did take stats and did fine. My university did not have algebra as a prerequisite for me to take stats. I don't think you need it.. it would help, but its not...
