2. Freaking out about Chem!!

   NCNurse2be replied to hospitalstaph's topic in General Students

   Hang in there.... Concentrate on learning the basics. Once you get into your real nursing courses, you won't even see the majority of the pre-req chem that they make you take. (you'll need the basics for Pharmacology, and it helps with some of th...

10. How will this help my nursing practice?

    NCNurse2be replied to mitchsmom's topic in General Students

    Are they asking what effect having to write that paper will have on your nursing practice? Maybe it helped to increase your research skills? Or helped you increase your ability to present information to a patient in an understandable way?

    Kyleelynn - I'm curious, how do you know that you've already been accepted to Duke? I also applied there, and the admissions people are telling me that they're still processing applications (since the due date was only 3 weeks ago...Jan 15). They s...
