  1. new grad

    nohika replied to rawrn's topic in General Nursing

    It's a debate among a lot of nurses on whether a year of med-surg is necessary. If you want to go straight to ICU, go ahead - you're the one that has to live with the

  2. Most RN's first borns?

  3. Young Nursing Students

    nohika replied to TaraRae123's topic in General Students

    I mean, I'm young too...but I was physically and intensely emotionally abused as a child/adolescent and went through a lot until my dad finally stopped making me see him when I was in high school. I'm...

  4. Is it CNA,then LPN, then RN??

    nohika replied to lina.561's topic in General Nursing

    MSN is Masters in Nursing. ^^ There are entry-level masters programs for those that already have a

  5. Young Nursing Students

    nohika replied to TaraRae123's topic in General Students

    Yup! I've lived here my whole life. I did Running Start, but kind of fiddled around in my classes... :chuckle So my GPA sucks. I think it's really cool to meet other pre-nursing/nursing students like...

  6. Young Nursing Students

    nohika replied to TaraRae123's topic in General Students

    I'm 19 and just started my pre-requisites, but I often get people that come up to me and ask "Oh, are you in Running Start?" (It's the program for high-school kids to go to college.) I was like Um no?...

  7. Trouble with volume of work; help!

    nohika replied to nohika's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just don't want to risk it. xD I'll stick it out and see if I can make it manageable. If I can't, then I'll consider dropping the class that's giving me trouble. Thanks super much! I'll keep it...

  8. Trouble with volume of work; help!

    nohika posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Okay, so I'm taking 6 classes this fall (20 credits). I'm not super-worried about that right now. What I am worried about is dealing with my lifespan psychology class. Each chapter is at least 40...

  9. Trouble with volume of work; help!

    nohika replied to nohika's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No, no - I've been on financial aid for over a year; I know how it works. It covers all my tuition, etc. I just don't want to deal with the mess that dropping a class when I'd get all the money back...

  10. Trouble with volume of work; help!

    nohika replied to nohika's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am taking an insane load. =/ The problem with dropping a class is it messes with my financial aid - they'd give me more money and it's just awkward for me. The only class I'm really worried about is...

  11. Trouble with volume of work; help!

    nohika replied to nohika's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We're divided into quarters, and our A&P is three, so I'm starting in January and will finish A&P in August. I'll be taking A&P2 with Microbiology and Intro to Organic and Biochemistry....

  12. Trouble with volume of work; help!

    nohika replied to nohika's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is our first week, so lecture's a bit dry still (we start the hardcore stuff next week). Human biology lab we just started histology, which is really difficult...I'm making flashcards as we...

  13. Trouble with volume of work; help!

    nohika replied to nohika's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Human Biology Lab/Lecture, a class on study skills to help me with A&P, Drawing 1 (for fun), Inferential Statistics, and...oh! Lifespan

  14. Trouble with volume of work; help!

    nohika replied to nohika's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    xD That's really similar to me! I'll be done with my pre-reqs in a year, hopefully transferring to a BSN program, so my next free semester is looking like about the same! I don't know what I'll do for...

  15. Trouble with volume of work; help!

    nohika replied to nohika's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I babysit about 10 hours a week - I've been working at my church for about four and a half years, haha. I have a planner that has a weekly, monthly, and daily view, but it exhausts me to look at it,...

  16. Trouble with volume of work; help!

    nohika replied to nohika's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ouch! That sounds painful. xD Thank you so much - I hadn't thought about using the index. My friend also suggested limiting myself on how much I write per section so I don't ramble as much. It's funny...

  17. In what department do you not wipe the backside?

    nohika replied to mirgadia05's topic in General Nursing

    ...am I right in trying to understand that you're fine with wiping lady partss and the such but you don't want to wipe the butt? In all honesty, while I'm not a nurse yet (I have babysat for over four...

  18. Should I take the job?

    nohika replied to tabswifeRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I would put money on it being the fact that you're a new nurse. Typically orientations are full-time; that's why they typically don't hire new grads on part-time positions. Least that's my...

  19. Volunteering at Hospitals?

    nohika posted a topic in Washington Nursing

    Does anyone know of any hospitals in Vancouver, WA, that allow volunteers in like their NICU/Well-baby? Or peds? I'm looking to start volunteering while I'm doing my pre-reqs for nursing school and...

  20. Should I go or not? Opinons please...

    nohika replied to AcousticFoodie's topic in General Students

    One thing you also need to remember after this is that you probably won't graduate for several years! No one knows where the economy will be at that time. So really, it's your choice - in three years...

  21. dang it... my gpa

    nohika replied to ExcitedAboutFuture's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm close to where you are - my cumulative GPA was a 2.24 after two years of willy-nilly college when I was in Running Start at my high school. Right now, after four quarters (my first was a 1.84), my...

  22. A&P, Chemistry, and Nutrition - Too much?

    nohika replied to QuarterLife88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    http://www.amazon.com/Get-Ready-Lori-K-Garrett/dp/0805382844 Here it is! I actually found it at Goodwill and have read quite a bit of it, though I'm not taking A&P until

  23. if i decided to be a doctor, i would be.....

    nohika replied to ErinDel's topic in General Nursing

    Probably a neonatologist or pediatric oncologist. I'm headed to nursing school, though - maybe SOMEDAY medical school.

  24. Need a more positive outlook - help!

    nohika replied to Hope.A's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    One thing always to remember is that a lot of nurses come here to rant about the bad parts of the day - therefore, you'll see a lot more of the bad then the good. I'm certain you'll be able to find...

  25. New grad wanting to switch shifts

    nohika replied to pinkiepie_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe ask if you can shadow a day nurse to see what it's like and if you can handle the sleeping
