  1. Can you graduate summa cum laude,magna cum laude, or cum laude from a college if you

    litchi replied to ryangogogo's topic in General Students

    I graduated magna cum laude as a transfer student, but my grades were fairly consistent at all colleges I attended. As far as doing poorly before transferring and getting a clean slate, it probably...

  2. Can you get into nursing school with a D for A&P1?

    litchi replied to ryangogogo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think you misunderstood my meaning. I was in no way suggesting that the ADN program was easier. The admissions process, however, IS usually different. For example, the CC I'm taking my pre-reqs at...

  3. I screwed up, and everyone working with me got written up!!!

    litchi replied to NurseCard's topic in General Nursing

    From what I gather, the OP placed towels on the bed for some undisclosed reason and left them there. When the bed was found wet, whoever discovered it must have assumed that night shift knew the bed...

  4. Can you get into nursing school with a D for A&P1?

    litchi replied to ryangogogo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It depends on what type of school she's going for. If she's trying to get in a BSN program, no--the minimum grade you can have for A&P is a C. If she's going for an ADN program, there's a small...

  5. Obsess with Nursing

    litchi replied to Mr I Care's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's great that you're taking initiative to read things about nursing on your own time. Yeah.. like Danny said, it may or may not directly help you in nursing school.. but you're still...

  6. Calhoun vs. UAH

    litchi replied to litchi's topic in Alabama Nursing

    It's really nice to know that the instructors were nice & helpful unlike some of the horror stories I've come across here. That's one of my biggest fears.. In my experience, an instructor can make...

  7. 4 year or community college to do prereqs....

    litchi replied to sw1242's topic in General Nursing

    If you're planning on transferring to a 4 year university for your BSN, check with them first to make sure that any classes you take from a community college will transfer. I have a previous...

  8. Do people really need a bloody mobile at work?

    litchi replied to milenko's topic in General Nursing

    I can't imagine taking a personal call on a cell phone in a patient's room while they were receiving a bed bath. That's extremely disrespectful. It'd be one thing if it were truly an emergency, but...

  9. Administration of PPD to someone with a previous positive reaction

    litchi replied to MissBrittanyRN's topic in General Nursing

    It is unnecessary to continue to test after a positive result--any subsequent skin tests you have will more than likely be positive as well. If you continue to test, you run the risk of the reactions...

  10. Medical staff rude to my brother;complicated;advice please

    litchi replied to burberrylover's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't think people are trying to say that your brother was lying about what the hospital staff said. I think most are suggesting that that due to his own personal distress, it's possible that he...

  11. Medical staff rude to my brother;complicated;advice please

    litchi replied to burberrylover's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I agree with pretty much everyone else that's posted here. I just wanted to add one thing in response to this statement: 3) I think the fact that his friend had CP is important here. Sad to say but a...

  12. Student Wrongfully Dismissed

    litchi replied to thinksdifferently's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with everyone else who says there's more to this than the OP is stating. Given the school's response, I find it really hard to believe that the guy is completely innocent. The biggest...

  13. When you find someone who is unresponsive...

    litchi posted a topic in General Nursing

    My mom gave me a call this morning and said that her neighbor had burst through the front door screaming that her husband, "Tom", needed help. My mom went across the street and found Tom laying face...

    litchi replied to litchi's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for all the great responses, I really do appreciate it. I didn't even think of lividity as a possible reason for his coloration. My mom told me that she thought she'd seen him about 10 minutes...

  16. Which route should I go- ADN or BSN?

    litchi posted a topic in General Students

    I need some opinions, please. I'm currently looking to start nursing school in the Fall '10 semester and don't know whether or not going the ADN route or BSN route would be best. A little background-...

  17. Which route should I go- ADN or BSN?

    litchi replied to litchi's topic in General Students

    Thanks for all the replies! I still haven't made up my mind, but you guys gave me some really good points to think about. I really do appreciate all your input.

  18. Should I take Cell Bio again before going into A & P 1?

    litchi replied to reid.stady's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think you need to retake the class. You shouldn't be at a disadvantage either. I took biology over 10 years ago and only vaguely remember some of the information. I'm in A&P I right now...

  19. Too Old to go back for LPN - BSN bridge??

    litchi replied to lilaclover6984's topic in LPN to RN

    I know how you feel. I have a degree in art, but recently decided to go back to school to become an RN. Right now, I'm 28 years old. I'll be 29 next month and won't graduate from nursing school until...

  20. salary -Huntsville, AL.

    litchi replied to MyTimeNow's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like they're basically not taking your previous LPN experience into account at all and are paying you the new grad RN rate. I'm sure you're thankful to just have a job right now, but I...

  21. Really...how hard is Chemistry?

    litchi replied to labchic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with sam and GrayMatter. I'd like to add that I think some of it depends on the quality of the instructor. I've had chemistry with good instructors and had a relatively easy time of it, but...

  22. A&P1 and micro?

    litchi replied to TaraRae123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took Micro and A&P I together and did just fine. Of course, I was only taking a total of three classes that semester and not five. Good news is there's actually some overlap in the subject...

  23. Anatomy before Chemistry?

    litchi replied to ktran's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A&P does have a LOT of stuff to memorize, but that's just a part of it. Chapter 2 in most anatomy classes is the chemistry chapter. It's basically just a refresher that goes over the basics, but...

  24. Are you getting a ADN or going straight to BSN ?

    litchi replied to zrodriguez's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm hoping I get into a BSN program, but I won't complain if I end up in an ADN program..at this point, I just want to get started somewhere! I have a previous degree in another unrelated field, which...

  25. Is it possible? WWYD?

    litchi replied to mmgirlsmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with bgood- it is doable, but it'd definitely get stressful at times. I had Micro and A&P together and they do have a lot of overlapping information that makes it a little easier....
