  1. Have you ever cheated?

    cookderosa replied to JustYouWait's topic in General Students

    I try not to live my life based on if I would or could get in trouble, which is why I look at this question differently than you do. In other words, would I do something illegal if I felt it was an...

  2. Removing barriers to admission!

    cookderosa replied to cookderosa's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    >> Really? Wow. Ok, that gives me a few things to think about for the MSN vs DNP. My first choice path is into a university that does not require GRE (not sure why) but they have went to only...

  3. A&P prof's inappropriate response to request for alternative to animal dissection

    cookderosa replied to sarailyse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with your professor. I'm sure that EVERY semester there are at least 1 or 2 people coming to him asking for exemption- and I'm sure it gets old. That said, there are MANY colleges which...

  4. Which online chemistry is best

    cookderosa replied to nycpicurn's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm doing my chems (all my science) online at www.ocean.edu They are expensive, however, I really really like the home labs. The lab kit is about $200 plus tuition/internet fee ($600 per 4 credit...

  5. my feedback on the HESI pre-nursing entrance test

    cookderosa posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took my HESI nursing entrance test last night, my complete application was posted at 6:02pm! I'll share my experience with the HESI entrance test. The entrance test is called HESI and seems to be...

  6. 2015 is it official? YES

    cookderosa replied to HieuNgu1155's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I'm looking at University of Iowa, and they have already made the switch- the MSN isn't even an option. At this point, I'd be a little spooked to even consider a masters instead of a

  7. OBs doing unnecessary C-Sections and inductions

    cookderosa replied to a_wallace4's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You can find a lot of articles on the ICAN website, but there won't be med journal articles. I guess it depends on what type of source you are looking for, but the ICAN website will definitely be...

  8. Nobody Likes A Tattle Tail

    cookderosa replied to sassyrn333's topic in General Nursing

    >> in my experience there is absolutely without a doubt a different corporate culture/atmosphere in women only or men only environments. i've even spent time studying this in grad school, so...

  9. EMT a plus or a minus?

    cookderosa replied to cookderosa's topic in Nursing Career

    >> Rockin, I love to

  10. EMT a plus or a minus?

    cookderosa replied to cookderosa's topic in Nursing Career

    Thank you both very very much for your insights!! No, I don't want to be an EMT - but I would consider doing it on weekends or something during my first year of NS. I hadn't thought about...

  11. Do nurses still get signing bonuses?

    cookderosa replied to Idaho Murse's topic in General Nursing

    Locally, I noticed no bonus postings, however LOTS of educational reimbursement. Our big hospital is a magnet designation, so they are pushing big for BSNs. If you have a diploma or ADN, an...

  12. What kind of people are CRNAs?

    cookderosa posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hi everyone! I'm starting my ADN program in August. I have a prior bachelor's degree, so I'll be looking at grad programs as soon as my work experiences meet the requirements necessary to...

  13. What kind of people are CRNAs?

    cookderosa replied to cookderosa's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Thank you so much for taking the time to reply, and good luck to you as you finish

  14. new or upcoming BSN to DNP programs

    cookderosa replied to anny08's topic in Post Graduate Students

    This is the program I am looking VERY closely at. They also have an RN to DNP for those with non-nursing bachelor degrees (me) and 1-2 years experience *though not all require experience. Some of...

  15. Bathing Classmates and Other Personal Boundaries?

    cookderosa replied to brownhairedgal's topic in General Students

    I know and fully understand...really. That's why I'm going into nursing. I have for about 5 years really been too burnt out, but have stayed anyway. It just gets old-- and I know it has nothing to...

  16. low gpa options

    cookderosa replied to nursevai's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If the prereqs are inside her degree, then they will be independent of the first GPA. If the prereqs are outside her degree at another school, then it will be fine. Once a degree is conferred, that...

  17. Bathing Classmates and Other Personal Boundaries?

    cookderosa replied to brownhairedgal's topic in General Students

    > As a nurse and as an instructor, you must know that the difference is "consent." If someone wants to volunteer, so be it. I have no doubt that there will be plenty of students willing to...

  18. my feedback on the HESI pre-nursing entrance test

    cookderosa replied to cookderosa's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    One thing I forgot to say was about the sections. When I read the feedback here, a lot of people were worried that they would be asked questions on a section that they were told not to study. I want...

  19. low gpa options

    cookderosa replied to nursevai's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd suggest doing an ADN and then an MSN here's why. A aBSN requires that you apply as is. In other words, your 2.8 GPA. Well, if you apply to an ADN, it's likely that the school you are hoping to...

  20. Clovis Community College this fall

    cookderosa posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Is anyone else taking online classes at Clovis this fall? I am planning on taking Microbiology, AP 1, Oral Communication, and Ethics - all will be online. Not only is it the best price, but it's the...

  21. Clovis Community College this fall

    cookderosa replied to cookderosa's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    my classes went great!! I'm taking AP2 and Intro Chem this Spring 2010. I'll be taking the 5 week Micro w/lab this summer. All of the science classes are offered each semester, and all are online....

  22. Associates and then sitting for the licensure exam vs Second Degree BSN

    cookderosa replied to Ebonyw's topic in General Nursing

    Like most people with previous degrees, I had to make this decision too. If you are planning on a master's degree, you can always do a bridge program RN (ADN) to MSN. Many of the bridge programs I...

  23. Did I cause my patient to die faster?

    cookderosa replied to lou_tango's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know if this is going to make sense or not, but my mom passed away this year on Mother's Day. She was a nurse for 45 years, and was diagnosed and died from cancer all within 4 weeks. She was...

  24. New grads over 30, are you having trouble getting interviews?

    cookderosa replied to freeflowchi's topic in First Year After Licensure

    On the BSN vs ASN issue, we have 2 hospital chains here, and one has been awarded the Magnet designation. I believe that having a certain % of your nurses as BSN holders is part of that criteria. So,...

  25. New grads over 30, are you having trouble getting interviews?

    cookderosa replied to freeflowchi's topic in First Year After Licensure

    >> I agree. Like the previous poster, my experience with this comes from outside of nursing, however it is reasonable to assume that you appear less teachable than a young grad. I'm a chef who...
