  1. A&P and microbiology in the same semester?

    I took both A&P and Micro in the same semester. I got B's in both classes. I wouldn't recommend this unless you are very dedicated to your studies. During test time for each class I always felt like I studied for one class more than another. Now ...
  2. Embarrassing question reguarding CNA classes...

    Not only did we have to brush classmates teeth but we also feed classmates baby food, and gave each other bed baths (wearing tank tops and shorts) Our teacher wanted to let us having the feeling of being the pt and being totally dependent on someone ...
  3. am i wrong

    Here is what I do to fit in a little me time...I study pretty much all night long, but every hour I take a 15 min break. I check email, facebook and allnurses within those 15 min. So really if I study for 4 hours a night, I would take four 15 min bre...
  4. Random Thoughts: From a Nursing Student

    Survived the 1st week of Nursing School --Yippie!!! Another Random thought or Two: For the sake of everything that is holy, WILL YOU PLEASE SHUT UP so that I can hear what the instructor is saying!!! She is probably making a point that will be on the...
  5. Stupid things said by your non-nurse significant other

    Ok have any of you ever watched the comedian Jeff Dunham? Anyways he has a puppet named Achmed The Dead Terrorist, he is a skeleton. Ok we were watching him on comedy centeral one night and Achmed made a joke saying that he was having a bad time and ...
  6. Recommendation for a white lab coat?

    I am going into the LPN/RN bridge program this fall. We are also required to have a knee-length lab coat for our OB rotation. Some of us that are shorter don't look so professional in these but it is a requirement!
  7. Scholarship Essay

    i need some help from my fellow nursing members. i am applying for a scholarship to help with nursing school and like most scholarships you must answer an essay question. i would just like everyone's on my essay that i wrote. don't be afraid to spea...
  8. Scholarship Essay

    Thank you for your much needed . I was trying to put a more creative touch on it than just "oh I want to help others". I guess I was trying to relate the fact that my family took care of others and I wanted to do that also (wasn't doing a good job at...
  9. Thats IT !!! Im Sick of it !!!!

    In high school I career-shadowed a nurse. One of the first patients that she took care of had really bad lung cancer from smoking. I will never forget him. He starting to cough and it sounded like he was drowning. We went in there to help him and he ...
  10. First Day of CNA Class!

    Hi My CNA class starts on June 8th. We go Monday - Thursday 8:00 a.m. -12:30 p.m. We end the class July 24th. So that is roughly 7 weeks. We also have 10 people in our class with 1 instructor. Good Luck to all!
  11. Question...what's your HONEST opinion?

    If you can pass a pre-employment physical than your weight should not be an issue.
  12. How did you react to your acceptance/denial letter?

    I don't think you are over reacting at all!! We were supposed to get ours the 3rd week of April, then our nursing division chairwoman resigned. So it wasn't until the 2 week of May that it came! But everyday I would wait and wait for the mail to get ...
  13. :yeahthat: Is why I strive to be an A student. You never know when or where your grades in school could come back to haunt you. I have this thought also. What if I want to become more than a "plain jane" RN? Such as going into a specialty or getting ...
  14. i failed out of nursing school...now what

    I think that you made your mind up already when you say "nursing isn't my passion" and that "I don't care anymore". Maybe you should take your instructors advise and try CNA.
  15. Some advice about A&P I & ll and preparing.

    I would take and use all the advice given to you! I just took A & P 1 this spring and for the first few chapters we discussed was chemistry and simple biology! I have been out of school for just the last 5 years and those chapters were a struggle...
  16. Drug testing

    The first question I can see arising from this is....Does the Weed in any way compromise your judgment making skills? Or how quickly you react to situations? I know that all school are different but we are subject to Random Drug Testing at any time. ...
  17. PSB Examination

    Remember not ALL schools are the same...but I was not allowed a calculator of any kind on the PSB Exam when I took it in March. The math was really not that hard. There was A LOT of fraction-type questions. I just went through and did I the one that ...
  18. I agree with the majority of the posts. How in the world did you pass English 101? That is a pretty general pre-req for anyone going into nursing school. Sometimes colleges offer English as a second language for little or no cost...it is considered a...
  19. Do having A&P first help with Microbiology?

    I am currently taking both A&P and Micro...I really don't think it helps you out in any way if you take A & P before hand. My micro class goes more into bacteria, viruses, protozoa we only looked at a human cell once in the very start of the ...
  20. Ok I am trying to keep tabs, all starting this fall say I

    Just found out yesterday that I am accepted too! When you got accepted did anyone else feel like doing a little happy !
  21. Bizarre Lab Practical-

    We did not have to do cats but we had to do PIGS!!!! I had the same thought as you I want to be working with humans...NOT Animals!!!
