  4. A few questions needing a few answers

    bluemalibu replied to 2010NRS's topic in Men in Nursing

  6. Nurses aging

    bluemalibu replied to Vtachy1's topic in General Nursing

    Working conditions and stress plays a significant impact in our longevity. The Dept of Defense published an article this week highlighting the fact that active duty military retirees (Read that as...

  7. Microbiology study group spring 2009

    bluemalibu replied to ladyscorpian14's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Welcome! My classes begin next Monday. This is my first experience with a cyber group, but I think that it will be great... although my contributions will probably be pretty light for the balance of...

  8. How competitive is your school of choice?

    bluemalibu replied to tfleuter's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Our school will only allow one repeated class (this includes withdrawals) to qualify for admittance. One of the students repeated Anatomy (the easiest of our required pre-reqs), so she must receive...

    bluemalibu replied to ladyscorpian14's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  11. Nurses sued!!!!!

    bluemalibu replied to mina123's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately, this is no where near the truth. Only certain governmental agencies and specific governmental employees ~working within the scope of their employment~ are immune from litigation...

  12. Microbiology study group spring 2009

    bluemalibu replied to ladyscorpian14's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It looks as if we are all a bunch of new freshman running around asking each other where to go... LOL!! Unless it violates some protocol, I guess this thread would probably be ideal to just continue...

  13. Why is it top secret? ;) (grades)

    bluemalibu replied to Miss_Piggy.RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Likewise here... I couldn't believe what I was hearing. There is little chance of a tenured professor being terminated though... They have to do something that is absolutely unforgivable in the view...

  14. Older Nursing Student 1st Timer

    bluemalibu replied to NewMexicoJohn's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Finally.... I feel at home! 52 and just finishing pre-reqs this semester. I shadowed a CRNA at the local hospital and fell in love with the job, but I don't think that it's in the cards. (Even...

  15. Does having a Medical based job Help in Nursing School

    bluemalibu replied to Dragtail's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Nothing is required here in California, but if you've taken Medical Terminology it is a lot easier to get hired. My wife worked as one for about 15 years having been certified as a CNA ten years...

  16. Pre-Requisite Challenging Classes

    bluemalibu replied to Bo Shoi Ming's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I'm jealous, I loved North Carolina... I worked the I-95 corridor there engaged in narcotics enforcement with a drug dog for six years. It was quite a change from Northern California... here we won't...

  17. Why is it top secret? ;) (grades)

    bluemalibu replied to Miss_Piggy.RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Until this last semester I would not have thought that a non-equitable grading practice would be very likely, but I was shocked when my Algebra II instructor pulled me aside before the middle of the...

  18. Anyone in the Sacramento area get an answer yet?

    bluemalibu replied to kew82's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    bluemalibu replied to momma_nia's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Our Anatomy and Phys are two separate classes as well. 450 students were in this last semester of Anatomy with me. Only a handful of us received an A... I'm definitely up for on online study group,...

  23. What is your pre-nursing GPA?

    bluemalibu replied to ToxicShock's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I recently broke out in a cold sweat upon reading that the average GPA for PA applicants at UC Davis was 4.0 ! Too much stress... as my completed associates is at a 3.94 but all NS pre-reqs are 4.0....
