    chickenpox immunity

    metal_m0nk replied to rnto?'s topic in General Nursing

    I had chicken pox when I was 2 and shingles when I was 8. I very recently had a varicella titer done for nursing school entry (can't locate my vaccination records). It was 3.30 IV; > 0.99 IV is...

    Just curious as to what you would do in this situation.

    metal_m0nk replied to NurseCard's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't be too sure it was a pledge situation...It could be that college has nothing to do with it...What if he needed proof of admittance to a recovery program for a probation officer - like a...

    Anatomy and Physiology

    metal_m0nk replied to cicatrixx15's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I completely agree. When I was doing my first degree I took all that biology and chemistry because I knew I wanted to focus in the physical sciences, but I didn't know in what capacity at the time. I...

    Anatomy and Physiology

    metal_m0nk replied to cicatrixx15's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I posted an A in anatomy and am earning an A so far in physiology, not that it matters. Edit: I should probably add that I took a year of biology and a year of chemistry with my first degree. Now...

    Anatomy and Physiology

    metal_m0nk replied to cicatrixx15's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you've never actually done it separately, you may not really know that to be true. I understand your speculation, but physiology is a cinch when you're not constantly trying to learn structure...

    Help! Which math please?

    metal_m0nk replied to rdztx's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Take college algebra if you can. From my own limited research, every nursing program I've seen requires it. Also, if you plan to continue your nursing education, straight College Algebra is likely to...

    States Who Have Banned HESI

    metal_m0nk replied to Decemberblues's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    I think what klone is trying to say here, is that if the HESI is not a good predictor for NCLEX success, then those who pass the HESI wouldn't have any greater chance of passing the NCLEX than those...

    I'm a second degree student, so I was able to transfer some credits in - including calculus, so I didn't have to worry about math. I'll have all my prereqs complete before the program starts - only...

    Insomnia

    metal_m0nk replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

    I'm an insomniac too. My excuse is that I study at night while my son is asleep. Even if I take a night off from studying, I hardly ever get to bed at a decent hour. Unlike your situation though, my...
