4. What Does Your Grade Consist Of?

   CrazyNurseGrrl replied to mike1973's topic in General Students

   100% test grades, final included as any other test. Everything else is pass/fail. I actually like it - you either know the skill or you don't. And if you can't do it without contaminating or some...

5. Do you have to be really good in science to go into nursing??

   CrazyNurseGrrl replied to notenufshoes's topic in General Students

   My gut reaction is to say "No, you don't have to be GREAT at science." Or "REALLY GOOD." However, you DO have to be motivated and work hard to understand the science, despite that. I am NOT a...

6. Education advice needed

   CrazyNurseGrrl replied to AmericanChai's topic in General Nursing

   First of all. You can do it. Yes, there will be insane moments/weeks/months. But you won't go insane (permanently anyway:) ) While on one hand it would be nice to do the LPN route first - I will...

7. Uniform Guidlines where you work

   CrazyNurseGrrl replied to Truth66's topic in General Nursing

   Maybe I'm just being... ignorant... but at the hospital I work at you can wear any type of underwear you desire - so long as you're not showing them (and/or your butt crack) off. Not that the...

   CrazyNurseGrrl replied to momma&nurse2B's topic in General Nursing

   Hey Lauren - Fact of the matter is that some people are 4.0 and 30s on their ACTs. Some are 3.0 and in the low 20s for ACT score. I personally had a decent ACT score but a "not great" science score -...

10. What color scrubs does your school make you wear for clinicals??

    CrazyNurseGrrl replied to intensity_too's topic in General Students

    We wear our school color - it's a dark red that most companies call "wine". Wear it top and bottom with our school's name and "Nursing Student" in a gold color on the left breast. Just regular...

    CrazyNurseGrrl replied to Lauren3787's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Lauren, Do you have all your prereqs taken care of? KU requires all of them, and JCCC prefers most of them, as well as CNA - but don't worry, you can take a CNA course in as little as 2 weeks (but...

13. Brown Mackie?

    CrazyNurseGrrl replied to vintin2nm's topic in General Nursing

    And by the way - Brown Mackie will quote some great pass rate to you. The problem is, clinicals are "competitive" to get into. Less than half the class ever gets to go to clinicals, and thus take...
