Ok, yall have probably heard these before, but they made me smile. Artery - the study of paintings Barium - what's done if a patient dies Cat Scan - searching for kitty Cauterize - made eye contact with her Coma - a punctuation mark D & C - where...

Just one minor clarification. You do have to have a bachelors, but it doesn't have to be in nursing as long as you are a RN. Graceful

Hmmmmmm. I have been told that the results are not stored, and you can't get an item analysis of your test. Wonder if this is really from your NCLEX, although I can't imaging what else it could be. Graceful

Well, I am biased because I go to UT-Houston and I went to UT-Austin for a previous degree, but I say "hook-em". In 2004 US news and world report rated us in the top 10% of "graduate schools" for nursing, but for undergrad we were rated above all th...

Hmmmmm... Meandragonbrett, that tidbit sparked my curiosity. Do you know if that is a commonly used option? What exactly would be the advantage of going the ACNP-->CRNA route, as opposed to the direct route? Graceful

Yes, I think that you have a good chance of at least getting an interview at UT-Tyler. Graceful

Hi Nev, Well I am a senior UT-Houston and when I applied had both A&P's, Pschy of human development, Biostatistics, and a Humanities class lacking and I got in without a problem. Personally, I believe that they give more weight to your GPA. ...

Friedrich Nietzsche said that, and I agree

Well said mysterybe. Heymickey, I think you are working under a false conception. The letters RN after your name don't mean that you now know everything there is to know about nursing and therefore any mistake you make is a sign that you are an i...

Well said.

:uhoh21: I just did a quick evaluation of my schools retention rate and I found that we lost 12% of our class and this is only the beginning of our second semester. Is this normal for a BSN program? I realize that the program only gets harder fr...

Hi Everyone! I have been feeling so bad for all of those poor people in Florida, but I just don't know what I can do to help. Are any of your schools sponsoring food/clothing/supply drives? If they are how are they going, and how would I start s...

All of the suggestions so far have been excellent and I'll add what I do to tame the beast inside all of us mothers that makes you feel guilty for not enriching your childrens lives 24 hours a day: 1. I think you will be surprised to see what just t...

I have heard that nursing texts are usually out of date within 5-6 years so keeping them for reference would probably not do any good. Just FYI Graceful

The biggest headache I had was memorizing all of the muscles on the cat we disected. They all look alike and as if that wasn't bad enough they usually have names that you haven't heard of before. The only consolation is that after having learned the...

Alright, here it comes...... I am almost done with my psychology based statistics class and I have learned NOTHING. I have an A in the course, but I feel like I am BSing my way through and I can't motivate myself to learn this stuff. I am usuall...

Sorry it took me so long to get back to this thread, but I was studying for my final in.......you guessed it Statistics. Ya'll are wonderful. I was beginning to feel like a total loser for not "getting it" It really does help to have people to comm...

Well Michelle95 my course had a lot of experimental design and interpreting psychological experiments from journal publications. That part was OK. It is just the mindless plug in X get Y that chaps my hide. I am glad I took the Psyche based one in...

thanks babyrn_06 i just figured since everyone has to take this !@#@$%%$#%#%@$ course there has to be some logic behind requiring it. good luck with it. it is a character builder. graceful

Sorry 3rdShiftGuy, but you'll get through it, just keep repeating "I can do anything for 16 weeks, I can do anything for 16 weeks" until it becomes your mantra. This is no gaurantee that at some point you won't slip into a"There's no place like home...

:balloons: I knew you could do it. Keep up the good work Graceful

Sounds like you guys are adrenalin junkies after my own heart. WoW, I had no idea. Very interesting and informative posts. Thank you traumaRUS,PaulMedik, and edogs334.

I have never heard of an RN/medic. What would you do as an RN/medic? It seems to me that your either one or the other? What advantages does it have? I mean what do medics know that nurses don't? Again, I apologize for my ignorance, but I would r...

hi, Congratulations!, but I can understand needing a wee break from the wee ones. I have heard of resaling wholesale scrubs although not from that exact website. My suggestion is that you post your question in the nurse entrepreneur section. The p...
