  1. Raising a 3.5 GPA to a 4.0 ???

    Nemhain replied to onehusbandsevenkids's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Taking classes over is the best way to raise your GPA, but I wouldn't do it just to raise a B to an A. I know people who got a few D's and C's and then took the classes over and got B's and...

  2. Very Discouraged About Chances of Getting In

    Nemhain replied to BabyRN2Be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with Hikernurse. Get on a waiting list at a Community College. Usually, in my area anyway, the requirements are a minimum 2.5 G.P.A. and high school Biology and Chemistry with grades of "C"....

  3. What Is/ Was your grading scale in nursing school?

    Nemhain replied to brina's topic in General Nursing

    My two year program has a scale of: 75-81 =C 82-90 =B 91-100=A The classes are broken down into four 9 credit classes with 4 tests and a paper each semester (no quizzes or projects). Clinical is...

  4. I'm waiting too

    Nemhain replied to Nurseismade RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi Everybody! I know waiting is the worst, especially when it's something you have your heart set on doing. Don't give up! For schools with a HUGE waiting list, I urge you to still apply...get...

  5. Is this a normal feeling before graduation?

    Nemhain replied to shape0fmyheart's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It sounds normal to me! I have two weeks until graduation and at this point I feel like I want to be a Bar Tender! LOL I had trouble last year with anxiety, but I got through it. I just kept...

  6. Question about School "prestige"

    Nemhain replied to VictoriaBrooke's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, I wouldn't go into major debt just to go to a prestigious school. I would, however, stay away from a school with a bad reputation even if the tuition is dirt cheap. There are a ton of...

  7. tucson icu opinions

    Nemhain replied to turbo29's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Right now the all of the NG positions for ICU are full at UMC (I called a few days ago...I know their orientation is good.) Looks like St. Joseph's has a good orientation for NG in ICU (according to...

  8. How long does it take you

    Nemhain replied to blee1's topic in General Students

    HOLY SMOKES! I feel very lucky. We only have to do 2 careplans (which takes me about 2 hours after I've gathered all of the info.) each semester on any two patients we want. In preconference,...

  9. Help! I am very dizzy

    Nemhain replied to HarryPotter's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, Splenda has been tested "literally to death" and has been found to cause a host of problems. It was thought that the Chlorine added to it is fairly inert (after all, table salt has chlorine in...

  10. Help! I am very dizzy

    Nemhain replied to HarryPotter's topic in General Nursing

    I had similar problems. I was consuming a lot of Splenda at the time. That stuff can be nasty. Are you you eating any of

  11. Best PDA medical dictionary?

    Nemhain replied to LorraineCNA's topic in General Nursing

    Hi! I have Taber's on my PDA and I love it. I'm not familiar with the other

  12. PDA a must or a bust?

    Nemhain replied to nurscee's topic in General Nursing

    Mitchsmom! Holy Moly! It's the Mother Lode of PDA info!!! Thank you so much!!!

  13. PDA a must or a bust?

    Nemhain replied to nurscee's topic in General Nursing

    My mom ordered a Palm PDA for me yesterday as an early graduation gift. My parents figured it would be nice for me to use during my last Med/Surg clinical rotation (and I figure it's pretty nice of...

  14. # of Clincal Hours

    Nemhain replied to goodknight's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in an ADN program and we have clinical 2 days a week for 2 years. Our hours vary from semester to semester, but I think that we get a little over 700 hours total. But to answer your question: We...

  15. your first massage...what was it like?

    Nemhain posted a topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Hi there! I'm a licensed massage therapist. I'd love to hear from anyone about their first massage. Feel free to answer as many or as few as you want. I always love hearing people's massage...

  16. Should I Even Attempt To Become an RN?

    Nemhain replied to cdietrich404's topic in General Nursing

    Many tasks in nursing require a very steady hand, but I think you should still go for it. You never know what new drug or treament is just around the corner. Good

  17. Volunteering + admittance to nursing school = better chance of getting in?

    Nemhain replied to Varsity's topic in General Nursing

    definitely no...at least where i am in the northeast. all of the programs around the area (there are four) base admissions on a minimum gpa of 2.5 and then everyone goes on a waiting list - first...

  18. Kansas no longer accepting EC

    Nemhain replied to willtm's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yes, I can see now how that would be a good idea! I asked this in the above post, but I guess I can ask again. Do the BONs want school transcripts as well? Or do they just want the names of the...

  19. Kansas no longer accepting EC

    Nemhain replied to willtm's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Will they want the transcripts from all of the schools I've attended too? I hope

  20. Kansas no longer accepting EC

    Nemhain replied to willtm's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Just a quick question: If someone had graduated from EC 10 years ago and had been a working RN in Florida (just for example) and then wanted a Kansas license how would the Kansas BON know where that...

  21. your first massage...what was it like?

    Nemhain replied to Nemhain's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    I agree completely. It may take a few tries, but finding one that you really like is worth it. I'm currently searching (again) after my massage therapist moved away. I know it won't take too

  22. your first massage...what was it like?

    Nemhain replied to Nemhain's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Gosh, since I started the thread I should have posted my first massage experience. I guess I forgot! Better late than never. My first massage wasn't too long before I entered school; I'll have to...

  23. wanna be wants advice

    Nemhain replied to Skili's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Any other advise you wish someone would have told you?: Let's see...the biggest one is that you won't make as much money as the school recruiters and or magazine articles suggest that you will. No,...

  24. your first massage...what was it like?

    Nemhain replied to Nemhain's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Wow. I'm impressed that your employer did that. I think they should do something like that every month. I'm assuming it was chair massage (that seems to be most convenient for employers). I...

  25. wanna be wants advice

    Nemhain replied to Skili's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    More questions...no problem! I'm loving this! It's a little self-indulgent and I like it! LOL What type of nursing school are you in?: I am in a state university ASN program. I applied to both BSN...
