  1. Anatomy and Physiology 2 study tips?

    bhanson replied to Carla0912's topic in General Students

    I studied about 20 hours a week for A&P2 (during a 5 week summer session) outside of class and earned high As on every exam and quiz. I could have spent half the time and still made an A, but...

  2. Amount of debt upon graduation?

    bhanson replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    Community college is $26/unit everywhere in

  3. Amount of debt upon graduation?

    bhanson replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    I do not qualify for any financial aid. My EFC vastly outnumbers my CoA regardless of the fact that my only income is from my work as a CNA. I can't even do work-study programs because I'm not...

  4. I have bad grades, but for good reasons and want to go to nursing school.

    bhanson replied to chanticleer's topic in General Students

    Yes, you will have to disclose the fact that you are bipolar. Because of this you will have to go through a separate process from your BoN to see if you're eligible for licensing. As far as GPA...

  5. Chemistry requirement on it's way out?

    bhanson replied to CER022512's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Interesting. I'm not sure how you would understand electrolytes, synapses, nephrons, or nutrition without having at least taken an entry level chemistry class. All of the concepts would be very...

  6. Micro Unknown Quick Question

    bhanson replied to susurra's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Very few in my class got perfect results for our unknowns. Some tests are more reliable than others so if you weigh your results appropriately then you should be able to identify your

  7. done with all pre-nursing classes cannot get in to BSN program

    bhanson replied to MNICHO12's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    A 3.0 is too low to be competitive to most BSN programs, but if you apply broadly enough and the rest of your application is strong you may get in somewhere. Just for comparison of application...

  8. Micro, A&P2, and Nutrition in a 12-week Summer semester?

    bhanson replied to Noel1221's topic in General Students

    I took Microbiology and A&P II last summer and found it very easy. During a normal semester I've been taking 4 classes (12-16 credits) while working 3 12 hour shifts a week. I find that to be...

  9. PLEASE HELP I need Brutal Honesty!!!!

    bhanson replied to Wyllowdaemon's topic in General Nursing

    I admire your confidence, relative strength, and self-esteem, but you are most certainly downplaying the negative effects of being overweight. You sound like a great person, and even though you are...

  10. CNA Task Delegation & Patient Care Coordination Advice Needed

    bhanson replied to Umrn1's topic in General Nursing

    What is your nursing ratio? Lying is never condoned, but if your aides routinely have to take care of 29 patients (1 CNA on the floor) it is helpful to know that this is an impossible ratio. At 1:29...

  11. PLEASE HELP I need Brutal Honesty!!!!

    bhanson replied to Wyllowdaemon's topic in General Nursing

    You will technically be able to do the work. Nothing is difficult in itself or requires any great amount of strength. The problem that may arise is that in order to "work hard" at many CNA jobs you...

  13. What is the longest long day anyone works???

    bhanson replied to snoopy29's topic in General Nursing

    Every day I work I leave my house at 5PM and get home at 9AM. Sometimes I'll stay over when day-shift is short and I'll get home at

  14. ASN program and taking science classes at the same time

    bhanson replied to Copperismydog's topic in General Students

    I know people that have worked full-time, have kids, and finished nursing school with very good grades. Considering that you have no kids and will not be working, I think 40-50 hours a week is more...

  15. Those who relocated to Texas for job

    bhanson replied to Lovelymo79's topic in Texas Nursing

    My hospital (in one of those major TX cities) has hired over 100 RNs in the past year, many of them new grads. For a while we had huge vacancies on every unit and there were plentiful available...

  16. A&P HELP!!

    bhanson replied to jellybean321's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Neither is the case for these particular classes. The tests are online as usual but you have to sign a pledge of honesty that you will not reference any outside material during the

    bhanson replied to jellybean321's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Not in all cases. Two of my online classes this semester are not open

  18. A&P HELP!!

    bhanson replied to jellybean321's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took A&P1, Chemistry I, General Psychology, and Ethics while working 3-4 12s a week. The workload at times was a little rough, but for the most part I had adequate time to do everything. Part...

  19. Help with General Chemistry

    bhanson replied to eminthesr's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It might help if you post some examples of what you're having trouble with. Chemistry is more understanding the concepts than anything else. A lot of people find it difficult because it forces you...

  20. How long have you been working on Pre req's?

    bhanson replied to CNM2B201?'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I went back to school this year and finished my pre-reqs in Spring + Summer, applied after summer and am starting nursing school this Spring. I live by myself and work full-time so I limited myself to...

  21. to be a nurse or not to be a nurse?

    bhanson replied to RR910's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm pretty sure everyone in nursing feels overwhelmed at some point, it feels almost like a right of passage. I work in a busy cardiac step-down unit and everyone on our staff gets stretched to...

    bhanson replied to iPink's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    YAYAYYYY Men!! yaayyy

  23. Career change from business to nursing...need advice

    bhanson replied to wishing2BAnurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think the options are pretty simple: 1. Dip into savings. 2. Work while going to school. 3. Financial Aid. It depends on how you weight your priorities. Number 1 is ideal assuming you've lived...

  24. Spring 2011 Hopefuls!!

    bhanson replied to Noel1221's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got my acceptance letter last week. Feels like it took forever since I applied back in May. It took me a loooooong time to decide whether to accept it or because alternatively I want to finish a...

  25. How competitive are CC's?

    bhanson replied to xInspiredx's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is obviously directed at me. What is with the personal attacks? If you don't agree with something I've said I will be more than happy to debate it with you but can we keep the defamation to a...
