  1. Silly question--what to wear for class

    dianajh73 replied to knittingmonster's topic in General Students

    I also planned on professional dress when I started school in May, but it only took a week before I was going for comfort. Taking semester 1 & 2 of BSN program in 12 weeks doesn't lend itself to...

  2. Was this ethical?

    dianajh73 replied to animal1993's topic in General Students

    I have to say I think that being reported to the BON is exactly what should happen. I'm surprised by how many find this as common practice. I have frequently used applesauce to make pills palatable or...

  3. How to pursue a second bachelors degree?

    dianajh73 replied to bluenyellow's topic in General Students

    I am in CA too. I think it depends on what "bad grades" really are. I am in an Early Entry Masters program and I never thought I would qualify, but they often look at more than your grades for these...

  4. essay - growing older population

    dianajh73 replied to student_nurse1986's topic in General Students

    I would have thought he was referring to the fact that as our population of elderly increases it means that people live longer and consequently require more care. It will become a financial drain and...

  5. Do you snitch on cheaters?

    dianajh73 replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Students

    I have a tendency to keep my head down and my mouth shut. I think it is wrong to cheat but could care less about everyone elses grades. I know the work I put in to mine and you're an idiot if you...

  6. Book buying tips

    dianajh73 replied to JeanettePNP's topic in General Students

    Apparently I am in the monority. Let me preface this by saying I start NS tomorrow morning, so my experience is based on pre-reqs (Anatomy, Physiology, Micro, Food Nutrition & Geography (for...

  7. judgemental nurses/students

    dianajh73 replied to k_r_ah's topic in General Nursing

    I worked for a couple of years as a case manager for people on cash assistance and food stamps. As one of my supervisors so eloquently put it "You go from bleeding heart to bleeding ulcer in record...

  8. USF master's entry-CNL

    dianajh73 replied to Duke112's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Her e-mail indicated that we needed both the physical and the immunizations. I would assume that we are "RN students" at this point and the "graduate student" title would apply once we are not doing...

  9. USF master's entry-CNL

    dianajh73 replied to Duke112's topic in Post Graduate Students

    They didn't send anything until last Friday. I didn't get that e-mail, but she re-sent it Monday when I asked her if I had missed anything since I hadn't heard anything since accepting. Sounds like...

  10. USF master's entry-CNL

    dianajh73 replied to Duke112's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I understand your frustration. If you haven't received 3 or 4 e-mails this week from Carol Rayner (the person you e-mailed to accept), then you need to e-mail her. She has sent out info on...

  11. USF master's entry-CNL

    dianajh73 replied to Duke112's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I noticed the "This does not include BSN" and wondered about that. I gather, from talking to people familiar with Fresno State, that that is to keep people from entering the program and then dropping...

  12. ATI Books v. Testing

    dianajh73 posted a topic in General Students

    My school, Fresno State, is requiring ATI testing and lists the book/DVD bundle as required reading. My question is, in this situation, do you have to purchase the book & CD bundle in order to get...

  13. ATI Books v. Testing

    dianajh73 replied to dianajh73's topic in General Students

    WooHoo!

  14. USF master's entry-CNL

    dianajh73 replied to Duke112's topic in Post Graduate Students

    They didn't send really detailed information, but they did give a rough estimate and also had us sign saying that we know there probably isn't financial aid for the summer. Once you respond to offer,...

  15. Do having A&P first help with Microbiology?

    dianajh73 replied to guiltysins's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think you have a solid plan, especially if you have time to devote to study. I took Anatomy, Physiology and Micro at the same time and did well because no kids no job, just DH. We covered a fair...

  16. ATI Books v. Testing

    dianajh73 replied to dianajh73's topic in General Students

    It's a good idea to go ahead and get them. Thanks everyone for the

  17. USF master's entry-CNL

    dianajh73 replied to Duke112's topic in Post Graduate Students

    It's funny you should ask that Wantin' because I tried to update the post to note that, but now see that it comes out very hard to read. Will put it in the text next time. I never received an e-mail....

  18. USF master's entry-CNL

    dianajh73 replied to Duke112's topic in Post Graduate Students

    My letter came yesterday!!! It is going to be a hellaceous summer. Keeping my fingers crossed for the rest. I had planned to give them until Tues. if I hadn't heard anything, but it really sucks...

  19. USF master's entry-CNL

    dianajh73 replied to Duke112's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I am waiting for notice about Fresno State as well. I looked at that Summer schedule and really had to think long and hard - 18 units in 14 weeks!! Figured it will all be down hill after that though....

  20. Microbiology...

    dianajh73 replied to MomWifeNursePractioner's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I LOVED MICRO - in fact I enjoyed my instructor so much I am her lab assistant this semester which is giving me a chance to sit through lectures again because it is good info. and doesn't hurt to hear...

  21. Att Nursing students: What do you do with your books?

    dianajh73 replied to JeanettePNP's topic in General Students

    I was wondering if this was possible with the nursing program books. I did this through pre-reqs with no problem at all. Nice to know someone managed to find old editions of nursing books and use...

    dianajh73 replied to LeO13's topic in California Nursing

    Me too Guess we'll have to keep our fingers crossed for next time Til then we'll just have to keep learning what we can here. Good Luck,

  23. Fresno City College Fall '09

    dianajh73 replied to LeO13's topic in California Nursing

    West Hills also requires Speech 1 (NOT 2) and completing Food Nutrition before you apply gets you higher on the list. This semester that's all I'm doing, taking classes for West Hills. I was lucky...

  24. Fresno City College Fall '09

    dianajh73 replied to LeO13's topic in California Nursing

    I can't wait til Wed. - Keeping fingers crossed, although I have applications at Fresno State and West Hills College just in case. Did you apply anywhere else?

  25. What should I take before I take Microbiology?

    dianajh73 replied to emily_ganshert's topic in General Nursing

    I think it really depends on the instructor and the emphasis they put on chemistry. I hadn't taken Chem in 13 yrs and managed to keep up, but it was a bit anxiety producing in the beginning. Our...
