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

    Diver Dude posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Successful students please share your wisdom. This would not just be the super smart, but those like me that have to work for thier grades. I'm a 42 year old male who has about a 3.6 gpa so far and...

  2. Nursing Diagnosis Prioritizing

    Diver Dude replied to ChristineWV's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    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...

  3. TEAS versions - I'm confused

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

    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...

  4. TEAS versions - I'm confused

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

    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

  5. Still waiting to hear from SRJC !!!

    Diver Dude replied to MammaNurse2Be's topic in California Nursing

    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...

  6. Still waiting to hear from SRJC !!!

    Diver Dude replied to MammaNurse2Be's topic in California Nursing

    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...

  7. Still waiting to hear from SRJC !!!

    Diver Dude replied to MammaNurse2Be's topic in California Nursing

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

  8. Still waiting to hear from SRJC !!!

    Nobody that I'm aware of has been notified of acceptance today... right? Sigh.... fingers

  9. Still waiting to hear from SRJC !!!

    Diver Dude replied to MammaNurse2Be's topic in California Nursing

    Lots of people heard today around 6 PM today. I have not heard word. No email. I do have a yahoo account - nothing in the spam folder..... best to

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

    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

  11. Nursing Schools in the Bay Area

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

    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...

  12. Biology before Anat 1

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

    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...

  13. Microbiology struggles.

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

    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...

  14. Biology before Anat 1

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

    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...

  15. Microbiology struggles.

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

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

  16. Microbiology struggles.

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

    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

  17. Have any of the SRJC students learned of acceptance?

    Diver Dude replied to MammaNurse2Be's topic in California Nursing

    Good job.. It looks like age is on your side! Just take more classes as you wait it out and you'll be good to go! I just met a guy who got his BSN at 52 so I shouldn't be too worried... Let's keep...

  18. Have any of the SRJC students learned of acceptance?

    Diver Dude replied to MammaNurse2Be's topic in California Nursing

    I'll be applying this fall... I wonder how many more will be applying this year. I heard from some folks that much fewer local SRJC students were accepted due to all the impact from outside areas....

  20. College nursing dean messed up my career!!!

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

    One thing I can assure you as a 43 year old nursing student is those three professors will not confront you about anything even when pressed. Nobody likes controversy and will run, not walk away from...

  21. College nursing dean messed up my career!!!

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

    I'm trying to "read more" into this story. There is a dynamic that has evolved at this school that turned the instructors against you. For devil's advocate, I'd like you to look at this dispute from...

  22. What to do - ADN vs. BSN vs. forget about it!

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

    One can never say it won't matter to all jobs... obviously. However any HR expert will tell you that a great nurse is a dynamic individual which is greater than the sum of his/her educational...

  23. What to do - ADN vs. BSN vs. forget about it!

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

    I have heard just the opposite from the hiring managers for nurses in California. I think this might be a bit of a generalization. A recruiter from a major network claimed that although candidates...

  24. What are your study habits?

    Diver Dude replied to TexasNurse2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    43 years old, 2 kids, one 6, one 16. I study at night, at kids school, and everywhere. Live in the tutorial center of my school, and seek out tutoring. Re type all lecture notes and write flash...
