  1. I want to be a nurse but I have a low GPA

    newway replied to Ethsmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You advisor should not be giving advice. If your GPA for your pre req’s is that low you need to retake them. As mentioned you could go to a different college and not transfer in your old credits....

  2. CNA straight cathing and giving suppository?????????

    newway replied to Stone06's topic in General Nursing

    I would think the nurse in charge of that patient would have the biggest problem with this. To be honest it is not that more much responsibility for the CNA. If they mess something up it’s the...

    newway replied to livefaithhope's topic in General Nursing

    newway replied to ruddergrl's topic in General Nursing

    you can do without the skeleton. most likely single bones are going to be laid out for practical so having them all together won't be that helpful. is there a public library you can go to? the skull...

    newway replied to Sl1011's topic in General Nursing

    Where do all you people live where you have to worry about the public finding out you’re a nurse? We live 50 miles outside Chicago and have no such issues. My wife’s car has nurse in the license...

    newway replied to bluemorningglory's topic in General Nursing

  10. What is a LPN/LVN salary?

    newway replied to Angel,LVNStudent's topic in General Nursing

    I actually think your friend is right, LPNs don’t make that much more than a CNA. Just to ask why are you not considering an RN? Many more doors to go through and opportunities for advancement. just...

  13. Preparing for A&P I

    newway replied to BSNMomOf6's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would start studying the things that don’t need to be explained but are just simple memorization. I would email my instructor and see if you can get a bone list and muscle list. And start studying...

  14. Additional Duties As Assigned....

    newway replied to Redhead28's topic in General Nursing

    I am not sure why so many nurses seem to be against unions but this is a perfect example of why they are needed. As one poster mentioned they were fired when they spoke up. If there had been a union...

    newway replied to aymers14's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    newway replied to MiahMSN's topic in General Students

    It is unfortunate that too often after giving two weeks notice someone is let go. It is kind of like no good deed goes unpunished. Also ask yourself, how much notice did they give the last person they...

  19. Would this be considered cheating?

    newway replied to computer101's topic in General Students

    By that same analogy your instructor gives back term papers. So does that mean you can give it to a friend taking a program in the next county over? She gave it back so it is yours right? Who is most...

  20. Would this be considered cheating?

    newway replied to computer101's topic in General Students

    I understand you wanting to help someone out, but yes that is cheating. I am in anatomy right now and we only get our test back for a short review. The instructor counts them and has us write our name...
