I hate loud studentsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss. I hate folks that dont speak englishhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. uhhhhhhhhhhhhh, i feel better lol.

fact is, if you pass the board , the state feels you have enuff knowledge to be a nurse. and a 70% isnt gonna pass the exam i believe. not in Texas anyway. Last year in A&P1 i struggled and ended with a high c, this year in A&P2 i have a A, and am pegging (aced)everything i encounter. difference is, i have less worries, i had a mother last year who had radiation and dad had a heart attack. so, no, a gpa doesnt justify a good or bad nurse. If you look at that, then attendence needs to looked at. and recommedations from teachers. I have a freind that they wanted to see his myspace , and he got job. I was inawww of it. But i see at least three big employers here that ask for it.

here, points are what gets ya in nursing, and you need all of your prereqs to get in. last semster they said lowest points got in was 21.

wilson n jones in sherman,tx and TMC in denison,tx. TMC has a new hospital building they will be moving into soon.

online type in AAS RN prerequisites for brookhaven community college and maybe the town its in and state, I tried it once and it pulled up all their prereqs for nursing

I dont like the bulkyness of them, thats about it . My gf has one and when i walk along ways , i put a cpl books in her bag and she rolls with it. lol. If you have 3-4-5 classes and all the books u need at once so youi dont have to go back to car, then i recommend one. (back saver) also if you look at backpacks.com and othes online they have a few cool ones.

this goes to the original post here, yes hospitals are out to make $. They complain that they are short handed, or scew the nurses they have now to have 6-7-8-9 patients each.over worked and then dont hire help for their help they have. I see several places hiring new grads. I also see, folks whinning because where they are there are no jobs. Sometimes you may need to move somehwere else. I see around here folks not wanting to drive 30-40 miles one way and never get a nurse job. or they wanna stay in a one horse town and then complain that jobs are not around. Around here the hospitals hirse new grads all the time. The reason hopsitals are short handed is because they are cheap, and dont want to hire good help. instead they will run a skeleton crew, and have quality care suffer.

yes, endocrine,lymphatic,blood,reproduction,cardiovascular,digestive. Most all A&P classes teach basically the same thing. My teacher in A&P1 was Jackie Butler and one of the authors in the HOLES ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY text book. She said the general A&P class teaches basically the same thing. I have left a couple of post with good websites to study for yall.

I have found 2 agencies that hire Rns with one -2 years exp in ICU setting, and hire for Alaska. They pay in the 6 digit figure. My buddy was a graduate a few years ago and landed a jobthrough a paticular agency, and is working in Alaska for huge amounts of money. He said he can get me on when i graduate and get a yr exp in icu, which i can have since i have People lol in certain places. Anyway good luck to all.

when is the last time you asked a nurse or even a Dr, what their gpa is before you let them do anything. NO one cares unless your in school still.

sounds to me like she is hung on her family to much. Sit her down and explain all the loans in the end will be benificial to you both. Depending on your field of work, a RN can make huge amounts of $. She wouldnt have to work. On a religous note, ask the lord if you should trade her for the nursing field. J/K

While i disagree with giving organs away after death, for various reasons. I also feel your pain of losing a sibling, I lost my sister unexpectedly. I allways wished i had been able to say goodbye. I had a closeness not shared with my other siblings. I feel a nurse knowing the situation can make a exception to a rule, so you can be by someones side. Reguardless of my opinion on organ donors, I think your brother will know he made a difference in many peoples lives, and thats what important in the end.

just for the record, haha last year in my first semester, , i dealt with: my dog died, my mom found out she had a rare form of cancer, and no$ to do anything, my freind died in the middle of exams in A&P class of a brain hemmorage, my truck was stolen, and my gf and i broke up. I dropped my sociology class. lost my job also. Looking back, now, i stuck to it, we are back together(gf) and my mom got help is cancer free, my dog is still dead ,but its ok. I got a new car to replace my truck. I have a good enough job to get by till i graduate. Stick to it, all will work out and look back and say, wow, i did it!! On a side note GO COWBOYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a saying on my cell phone" Prove you can" I have a 8th grade education. I am starting my second year in school. I thought id never make it. I saved my own $ for 3 years to pay for it all myself. When i get a lil in doubt , i look at my cell phone, and think CHA ching-cha ching, and i can hear the $ allready coming in!!!!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ said it perfectly. get more advice. chose your courses right, and be a RN making good $ in 2 yrs,and continue education towards a medical degree in a higher bracket.
