1. Nursing Diagnosis Prioritizing

   Diver Dude replied to ChristineWV's topic in Student Assist

   I had a Pt. very similar to this. Very difficult but you're on the right track with tissue perfusion, fluid balance, relateld diagnoses. I don't have my care plan book handy but there are some good resources on the web that can "walk" you through s...

2. TEAS versions - I'm confused

   Diver Dude replied to GGBRN's topic in Pre-Nursing

   To further clarify, my school said we would be taking version 4.0, but ATI only sells a study guide that is 3.0/4.0 lumped together. When I received the study guide it was a 3.0 guide. That led me to thinking they were either very similar or identi...

3. TEAS versions - I'm confused

   Diver Dude replied to GGBRN's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Don't worry. I sent away for the 4.0 test study guide and got the 3.0 version. They are the same. Maybe one is just newer?

4. Still waiting to hear from SRJC !!!

   Diver Dude replied to MammaNurse2Be's topic in California

   How about some details GrooveMaden? I know many graduates of the program, students in the program, faculty and administration. Additionally, every nurse I've talked to about students in rotaions in North Bay hospitals praise the SRJC students and ...

   Diver Dude replied to MammaNurse2Be's topic in California

   check your email for a provisional acceptance understanding that budget cuts could chop your spot... wow Edit: It looks like the budget cut addendum is standard in the packet for both fall and spring students.

   Diver Dude replied to MammaNurse2Be's topic in California

   I also received my acceptance for Fall 2010, but another correction came through that put me in the Spring 2011 batch... no worries... all good.

   Diver Dude replied to SBJustBreathe's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Keep up the good work. You will get in a program... it may not be the CSU program like the above poster, but perserverence will pay off. Take advantage of all the resources around you. Best Steve

10. Nursing Schools in the Bay Area

    Diver Dude replied to comanda_d's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Your best bet is to head to the horses mouth and check their website. I know a graduate from their program and he spoke well of it. All of the CSU nursing programs are intensely competitive and you will need to be near 3.8 and above with all the ot...

11. Biology before Anat 1

    Diver Dude replied to sk8inghunny's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Look at the specifics in the "special topics of chemistry". Maybe one of those is geared toward medical. The other idea would be to look from the Nursing School backwards and find out the classes they recommend and/or require and gear your search t...

12. Microbiology struggles.

    Diver Dude replied to Remilekun's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I just looked at chapter 8 in my current book which is "Microbiology, A Systems Approach" by McGraw Hill. It covers Krebs, the ETC, and so forth. My instructor has chosen to gloss over that material in favor of specific and non specific immunity, s...

13. Biology before Anat 1

    Diver Dude replied to sk8inghunny's topic in Pre-Nursing

    If you're serious about geting A's in Anat and Physio, you will best serve yourself by taking an Allied Healthcare chem class and a good Biology class with a lab that counts as a prereq for Anat 1 I was challenged by all the major sciences, but as a ...

14. Microbiology struggles.

    Diver Dude replied to Remilekun's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Interesting that Micro is requiring the Krebs and cellular respiration details. Usually that info is review and expected to be well known from Physio.

15. Microbiology struggles.

    Diver Dude replied to Remilekun's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I would second the reccomendation of textbook internet resources and animations. There's no magic bullet... just keep repeating the lessons and you will get it eventually.
