  1. MorUniversity: the scrubs from hades

    If I didn't like to sew, I know I wouldn't own an iron. I'm happy to iron curtains I'm in the process of making, but I'll wear wrinkly clothes before I will try to iron a women's blouse. No, thanks!...
  2. What specialty do you want and not want to work in?

    I'm interested in PACU and possibly eventually doing a CRNA. I don't think I'd want to do
  3. How much are you paying...

    BSN student, taking 13 credit hours. All numbers very approximate. Activity and student fees: $400. Course fees for nursing courses: $200 Distance learning fees (I have one course that is broadcast...
  4. Do you hate when?

    One of my coworkers at the group home where I work started asking me about blood in her poop yesterday. Um, I don't know AND I don't WANT to know about YOUR
  5. Lab coats

    We are required to purchase them; I haven't started the program yet so I don't know exactly what all we will be wearing them for but I do know that we wear business dress with the lab coat for mental...
  6. Opinion on your uniforms?

    We get to choose between blue and white, tops and bottoms, and we can get any top and bottom we like as long as it doesn't have ruffles or other fanciness. We have to sew the school patch on the...
  7. Classes

    The only thing that would concern me is taking pathophysiology before anatomy. Do you have background in anatomy and/or physiology? If not, I'd see about taking anatomy
  8. Class of 2015

    Does anyone here have an iPad for school? If so, do you like it and would you recommend it? I wouldn't use it for eBooks, at least not at first, but for following along with lectures, toting around...
  9. We do not get to choose which area we have clinical in, but since the school serves a wide rural area, there are a variety of hospitals in a pretty large area that do clinicals. We are allowed to...
  10. I had a 3.425 in my previous degree and that's what I had when I got accepted to the program. I have a 4.0 in pre-reqs at the school where I'll be starting nursing courses next
  11. Am I the only one anxious to go back to school?

    I'm working what feels like a million hours a week this summer, so I can't wait to go back to school and have some free time
  12. Help! Can they take my acceptance back?

    All of my experiences have been that if you have a higher level course, that overrides the need for the lower level course. So if the requirement is pre-calc and you've taken calculus, you don't need...
  13. Class of 2015

    I'm taking Health Assessment, Health Assessment Practicum, Nursing Arts and Sciences, Fundamentals in Nursing Lab 1, and Health-Related Research. Pharmacology is also on the suggested fall schedule...
  14. Yes, as a CNA in a long-term care facility, I was assaulted more than once, including being bitten. My supervisor was there for the bite and was very supportive of me. I've also been physically and...
  15. Class of 2015

    I'm working full time this summer, currently also taking a CRMA class to pass meds at work (I work in a group home) as well as taking pharmacology. Our first test was 3 weeks ago and it was fine, it...
  16. Am I stupid for not doing the ABSN?

    I think your generalizations are equally as bad as the ones that you are complaining about from someone else. Not all ABSN students pay their way, and some regular BSN students do. They aren't...
  17. Am I stupid for not doing the ABSN?

    I'm in a similar situation, except that I did apply to an ABSN and I didn't get in, but I got into the regular BSN at the same school. I graduated from my undergrad, took one year off, and then...
  18. Patients afraid of needles...

    I'll out myself as someone with a tattoo who really, really hates injections. The tattoo needle barely scratches the surface, while an injection goes inside me and deposits stuff their. For me, it's...
  19. Doing a project- I need you! Please read!!

    1. What type of program are you in? RN or BSN or Other (specify) I'm in a BSN program. 2. What is your current age? 24 3. What is your current GPA? (If you could get your EXACT GPA it would be better,...
  20. Ordering used text books on Amazon??

    I wonder why a book sent media mail was a problem? I was under the impression that that's what media mail is for. As for the OP, I have ordered used books from Amazon with no problems. I saved a...
  21. Are You A Victim?

    I have to say I do occasionally complain and use "victim" language ("Ugh, I had to work until midnight last night, I hope I don't bomb this exam!") but I also take complete ownership of my work and...
  22. I made $10.50 as a CNA in a nursing home when I was living in Minnesota. I am fairly certain they make about the same amount here in Maine, but my CNA certification didn't transfer back
  23. Class of 2015

    I'm going to be starting the nursing portion of a BSN this fall. I'm taking pharmacology this summer, the past year I spent taking A&P, patho, intro to nursing, and a few other prereqs. I can't...
  24. Am I Stupid For This, Or Does It Matter?

    I don't purposely NOT study just because I'm going well in the class, but I do maybe study a little less than I would if it were down to the wire. Honestly, while lowered pressure is good, most of...
  25. I haven't started clinicals yet, but in my prereqs, I'm doing very well. I'm currently taking A&P 2 and patho. (Yes, at the same time. No, I don't recommend it!) I don't offer to anyone what...
