  1. Microbiology - Fall 2005

    RedSox33RN replied to maliat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We had our first lab and lecture on Thursday. What a freakin' joke that was! First, our lab is right before lecture, from 8:30 to 9:30am, T and Th. No one ever said that there is NO LAB the first...

  2. CNA to RN...

    RedSox33RN replied to serene43's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got my LNA license after completing the first semester of nursing school. Many of my fellow students were already LNA's, but most were not. I was fine in clinical without having it, but a few of...

  3. Microbiology - Fall 2005

    RedSox33RN replied to maliat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We don't start classes until 9/7 (a Wed), but my first class isn't until 9/8. I've been reading the book though and taking notes. I'm *hoping* this helps somewhat, and that we actually DO use the...

  4. CNA Question

    RedSox33RN replied to Soon2BNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Am I reading this correctly? Some here believe they are nurses because they are CNA's and perform some duties that a nurse does? If that is the case, then why go to nursing school at all? I'm sorry,...

  5. CNA Question

    RedSox33RN replied to Soon2BNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. I'm an LNA, and a nursing student. I don't ever refer to myself as a nurse. I'm not. I also don't refer to myself as an airline pilot. I'm not one of those either! I also wish people...

  6. Marraige falling apart!! Trying to finish school and have a new son!

    RedSox33RN replied to JenMarie82's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm sorry to hear about this. I, too, am going through a divorce, have to move, have 4 kids, and am trying to finish nursing school. Some days I feel like packing it all in and going back to...

  7. Received an "F" for a "B"!

    RedSox33RN replied to Anjann's topic in General Nursing

    I must say, I'm appalled that they expect you to learn dosage calculations on your own. That's ridiculous! Do they expect you to learn everything else on your own also? I attend a private Catholic...

  8. Microbiology - Fall 2005

    RedSox33RN replied to maliat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That would be me!! :) After miserably failing my first A&P2 exam, I came back to get a 4.0. Believe that nonsense?? I just about fell over when I got my grades in the

  9. Microbiology - Fall 2005

    RedSox33RN replied to maliat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking Micro this fall also. I got my book today (used at $112, vs. $150 for the new one!) and we're using Tortora. They were out of the lab manuals, so I was going to reserve a copy, but the...

  10. the saga continues...(my journey as a transfer student)

    RedSox33RN replied to allthingsbright's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Best of luck, and prayers too!

  11. You can't go upside down when you menstruate?

    RedSox33RN replied to jen42's topic in General Nursing

    Wow! Can't say as I've ever heard that

  12. What did YOU pay for your Nursing Books for school??

    RedSox33RN replied to sherry730's topic in General Nursing

    I spent about $650 my first semester in nursing school. Then I got smart, and figured, the bookstore buys backs books, but for such a low price, and then resells them at an astronomical one, so I have...

  13. 13lb 12oz newborn!! "The big Enchilada"

    RedSox33RN replied to soontobe_RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    LOL! I'm the same way. My fourth was 11 lbs, 1oz, 24 1/2" long. If he'd been MY first, there would no others from me! He was a simple, 3 hour waterbirth, my easiest by far, but as I told the...

  14. Applications to "backup" programs

    RedSox33RN replied to texancanadian's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I applied to more than one school last year, and got into two. I'd made the mistake the year before, thinking because my NLN scores were good and I had a 3.98 average that I'd be accepted *like that*...

  15. Has anyone taken the NLN yet?

    RedSox33RN replied to Poohsdw's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It is a difficult exam if you don't study. Brush up on all math concepts, including algebra and geometry. Know the stuff w/o using a calculator, because they are not allowed in the exam. For the...

  16. Nurse doing cocaine HELP

    RedSox33RN replied to llgrn1987's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for sharing your story, WriteStuff. I've seen family members suffer through addiction, and I know talking about it is painful, but helps. You may not know it, but you will probably help...

  17. Compazine for a Migraine??

    RedSox33RN replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I take Migranal (which is DHE) nasal spray for mine, which usually works (along with 800mg of ibuprofen). I also have some Phenergan, but sometimes I do end up in the ER. I've also heard the "yeah,...

  18. Child needs evaluated for autism

    RedSox33RN replied to NicInNC's topic in Developmental Disabilities

    Isn't that something the pediatrician or child's doctor would pick up on during a visit? I'm not asking to be mean - I just know that my kids' pediatrician has picked it up in other children when...

  19. Advice on which PDA to buy

    RedSox33RN replied to indigo's topic in General Nursing

    I have a Tungsten T3, and have Davis Drugs, Tabers, and a Nursing Dx program on it. I also use it to record lectures, then d/l them to my computer, and can burn a CD to listen to on my commutes to...

  20. Isn't this a joke?

    RedSox33RN replied to ZZTopRN's topic in General Nursing

    At the small community hospital I get 95% of my care at, the Day Surgery nurses (the BEST I've ever met - truly!) and the L&D staff each send cards or make phone calls. I'm sure they have more...

  21. Online nursing???

    RedSox33RN replied to L&Dnurse2Be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think Deaconess and Excelsior are the only two where you can obtain an RN online (the classes, not clinical). Most others are for RN's wanting to obtain their BSN. I think either way, online...

  22. Anyone (or someone you know) fail clinical?

    RedSox33RN replied to SirJohnny's topic in General Students

    We had one dismissed from our clincal group last semester. It only happened once, but she just didn't show up for clinical. No call to the instructor, another student, the floor - nothing. She just...

  23. Anyone (or someone you know) fail clinical?

    RedSox33RN replied to SirJohnny's topic in General Students

    We "only" had 8 in our clinical group, but our instructor was ALWAYS late in helping with med passes. So much so that toward the end of the semester, only 4 a day could pass meds. Even at that, I...

  24. jaw click

    RedSox33RN replied to lpnstudentin2010's topic in General Nursing

    I was originally dx'd w/TMJ (which most insurance companies don't cover - at least none I've had), but in actuality it turned out to be bad degenerative arthritis. I'll require surgery in the next 10...

  25. Anatomy & Physiology II ONLINE????

    RedSox33RN replied to BeesAngel's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did A&P1 totally online, including lab. But I found that it was mostly memorization. Plus I had already done a cat dissection in another science course. A&P2 was different. Yes, there was...
