  2. Physiology??

    guiltysins replied to hopefulUS's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At my school can you can register for both anatomy and physiology in the same semester but they are two seperate classes. That's only if you're pressed for time and need to finish pre-reqs though,...

  3. Bathing Classmates and Other Personal Boundaries?

    guiltysins replied to brownhairedgal's topic in General Students

    Our school doesn't require this thankfully but I think the main reason it would be uncomfortable for me personally is that I would have to see these fellow students everyday. However, as the two...

  4. any bsn program in New York that accepts student with low GPA.

    guiltysins replied to kwanee's topic in New York Nursing

    How low are we talking? I think the lowest is probably a 3.0 mostly for private schools. I go to Long Island University and the minimum is 2.75 overal and in sciences and all science grades must be a...

  5. Certifications

    guiltysins replied to guiltysins's topic in Ob/Gyn

    No I just wanted to know the different kind of certifications honestly lol and I didn't know whether or not the hospitals provided all of them for you. But I am looking to work in Mother/Baby so thank...

  6. ultrasound or nursing? Is it easier to find a job in nursing?

    guiltysins replied to jaymee3's topic in General Students

    I agree, while the market for nursing right now is tough, it is because of the recession while ultrasound is ALWAYS a difficult to find jobs in, even when the economy is good. One of the reasons I...

  7. What specialty do you want and not want to work in?

    guiltysins replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

    You sound great for mother/baby since those nurses do a lot more educating when it comes to breastfeeding and baby care/self care than the L&D nurses. I thought about maybe pediatric ER as a...

  8. what type of RN do I want to be?

    guiltysins replied to w120hmb's topic in General Students

    I'm pretty sure I want to work postpartum/Mother Baby. I did my summer volunteer there and I loved the environment. Before that I was considering L&D but I think I like the postpartum floor...

  9. WOW at least they are being honest...

    guiltysins replied to Coloradogrl's topic in General Students

    Wow really? I live in the city and I haven't heard anyone making that much after four years and some of my friend have BSN degrees. Is that with overtime? because I know that's how A LOT of people...

  10. ADN-BSN Programs

    guiltysins replied to my4helpers's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You more than likely won't have any clinical classes left but you'll probably have classes like nurse management, theory and research and a community (this one might have a clinical) ect. The rest are...

  11. I'm a smidge guilty

    guiltysins replied to thenameismac's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Why do you feel guilty? Going into nursing for the money and wanting the perk of financial stability are two totally different things. You actually want to help people, you sound like someone that...

  12. anyone have a clinical day

    guiltysins replied to becky5438's topic in General Students

    HAHAHAHAHA Onto the OP, it probably won't be the last time that you will come across a patient that doesn't want a student because they think we don't know what they're doing and it's perfectly human...

  13. Woman Calls C-Section "Rape"

    guiltysins replied to c3p0's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm just a prenursing student so I can't say much but I can see it from both sides. I personally think that C-sections shouldn't take place unless necessary. That goes for doctors and patients. I...

  14. BSN vs Associates degree - does it really matter?

    guiltysins replied to jlan79's topic in New York Nursing

    Mother baby is actually a unit that is not that difficult to get into. A few of my friends got their jobs as new grads in the maternity unit. However the NICU part and the L&D part in maternity...

  15. Frustrated with clinical experience

    guiltysins replied to FrogKissingNurse's topic in General Students

    It may not just be the program either. It might be a policy of the hospital, if it's not a "teaching friendly" hospital where they don't want the students to do too much with their patients. Have you...

  16. School question

    guiltysins replied to Kayla1605's topic in General Students

    I wouldn't waste my time with medical assisting. It just seems like extra schooling that you don't need. There are other ways to get

  17. Complaints You've Heard During Nursing School

    guiltysins posted a topic in General Students

    I know some of these things are things that all students complain about, so they're not stupid. They just need to realize that it's not only our school that makes you do these things. Most are the...

  18. HELP

    guiltysins replied to elacer08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No program is going to really reteach everything to you. Of course multiple classes go over the body systems, functions ect but the best thing would probably be to get a few textbooks to help you...

  19. To school or not to school that is the question

    guiltysins replied to RB2000's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Definetely get all the classes done ahead of time. No one wants to worry about an english class while taking Pharmacology, Patho, Research

  20. Required to watch circumcision?

    guiltysins replied to CrunchyMama's topic in Ob/Gyn

    So what would you think of a parent that is a healthcare professional that gets their child circumcized? Just because you don't like it doesn't mean you can assume that parents don't know whats going...

  21. Please help me...what is an ADN

    guiltysins replied to LoveYourLifeToday's topic in General Students

    An ADN is an associate degree in nursing. It's mainly a two year RN program. You have all the clinical education you get in a Bachelor's program (sometimes more) and all they do is not require some of...

  22. Complaints You've Heard During Nursing School

    guiltysins replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

    Someone told me that the med math tests are actually 100% so it's good to know the school isn't letting people off easy

  23. Is a nursing degree worth it?

    guiltysins replied to possiblymaybe's topic in General Students

    To the second poster: Stay on the waiting list for a few years? And then what? Pay out of pocket for classes they don't need because financial aid refuses to pay for classes that you don't need? It's...

  24. How much to pay for an RN degree?

    guiltysins replied to want2banrn's topic in General Students

    I agree that sometimes the private colleges aren't worth it. However, they become options for people that don't have 4.0 GPA's that most of the public colleges require (at least in my area). I was...

  25. The single best piece of advice you've gotten/gave

    guiltysins replied to HumorHeals22's topic in General Students

    Best advice I got from my friend was don't worry about what everyone else is doing. Don't ever think you're doing too much. Do what you need to do and not what others are doing. If you feel you need...
