1. Stupid Test (Rant)

   ck2rn2005 replied to EchoOfThoughts's topic in General Students

   The reason I would go with D is because the stem of the question asked for the chain of "infection". In other words we are all susceptible host (who have yet to be infected) but an infection can only be attributed to a causative agent (microbe) so t...

2. RNs Performing Housekeeping Duties!

   ck2rn2005 replied to allsmiles's topic in General Nursing

   I'm a little confused here? In the RN Program I'm attending bed making is covered in lecture and lab. So doesn't "bed making" fall under a nurse's scope of practice. If it doesn't why is it covered in the RN Program? If someone can clarify the m...

3. Any Real Need for Micro?

   ck2rn2005 replied to Harold's topic in General Students

   I felt unsure about microbiology as well but I gave it my best shot and am so grateful that I did! Currently, my nursing classes have referenced topics in class such as bacterial, viral and fungal infections which originate from microorganism as wel...

4. Monopolizing Classmates and how to handle them?

   ck2rn2005 replied to ck2rn2005's topic in General Students

   FYI: From what I understand you're not considered a professional until after "graduation" so that makes them "students" not professionals nor teachers. Did you mean "jealousy"? Since "jealosy" is not a word. Additionally, here's a site that may co...

   ck2rn2005 posted a topic in General Students

   Currently our class consist of about 60 students. Out of the 60 about 6 of them always have something to say. Granted if they're knowledgeable about a topic I don't mind listening to them but sometimes they go on and on about other subjects such as...

9. Nursing Textbooks

   ck2rn2005 replied to ck2rn2005's topic in General Students

   I decided to wait and see what the instructors have to say about the older edition textbooks before buying. That really makes the most sense. I appreciate your input and thank you for the helpful replies.

11. Take optional A&P I lab?

    ck2rn2005 replied to luv2yoga's topic in General Students

    I had to take A&P I with a lab as a prerequisite. If it hadn't been for that requirement I myself would have opted for just the lecture portion of the course. Which to me required a lot of memorization. The labs weren't very challenging nor di...

13. Nursing Textbooks

    ck2rn2005 posted a topic in General Students

    I was wondering if any former student's out there have ever utilized "older edition" textbooks for classes instead of going with the most current textbook. The reason I'm asking is that I'm down to my last few bucks and still have about 6 books to pu...
