  1. Who has volunteered?

    ambitiousBSN replied to __patiently_waiting's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I haven't volunteered, but I do have previous experience. I'm hoping there will be opportunities to volunteer during my program though to gain some more

    I'm starting my first semester of nursing school (BSN): - Holistic Health Assessment, with lab (4) - Nursing Informatics (2) - Healthy Aging (3) - Foundations of a Caring Profession,with lab and...

  3. Can I go to community college and transfer into a BSN program?

    ambitiousBSN replied to womanofchoice's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it all depends on the university one applies to. I transferred last fall, but I was taking four classes at the university prior to applying to the program, and was accepted. But, there are...

  4. Difficult Medical Microbiology or Human Genetics?

    ambitiousBSN replied to professionalgirl80's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No problem! Mine was affiliated with the Biology department as well, but only nursing majors could register for it. *shrugs* I know there was another general Genetics course for Bio majors, but...

  5. I am in!!!

    ambitiousBSN replied to hjh5673's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congratulations!

  6. Difficult Medical Microbiology or Human Genetics?

    ambitiousBSN replied to professionalgirl80's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Microbiology was much easier for me than Genetics. I took a Genetics class designed specifically for nursing students, and I guess having taken a general Biology course prior to completing...

  7. Can I go to community college and transfer into a BSN program?

    ambitiousBSN replied to womanofchoice's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Absolutely! I transferred into a university last fall and will be starting my BSN program later this month. The community college route saves a lot of money and will help you establish a competitive...

  8. Which of the sciences did you find hardest?

    ambitiousBSN replied to mmcc26's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A&P II. Somewhat because of the physiology processes, but also due to my professor not knowing the material

  9. Hospital Clinicals

    ambitiousBSN replied to doxielover304's topic in General Students

    I start my classes on August 28, and our clinical (for Fundamentals) begins 8-weeks

    ambitiousBSN replied to nursinghopeful2013's topic in General Students

    I bought this watch: Casio Women's LRW200H-7BVCF Dive Series Diver Look Analog Watch: Watches: Amazon.com Here's a picture of

  11. Best backpack? Not rolling!

    ambitiousBSN replied to the healer's art's topic in General Students

    I'm not a fan of rolling backpacks either. Luckily, my two main lectures are on Monday, so that will be the most I'll have to carry during the week. I have the Vera tote, by Vera Bradley. I have a...

  12. How many scrubs do you own?

    ambitiousBSN replied to Mell101's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm like the PP- I have too many! I think I have every color imaginable in bottoms, and then countless tops to match the bottoms. Too bad I can't wear any anymore because I currently work in surgery,...

  13. Have you guys taken Ethics?

    ambitiousBSN replied to halfglassfull's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had to take Medical Ethics for my program. I had several opinion-based "response" papers based on a prompt in our book, and only two exams- the midterm and the final. The class was interesting...

  14. Backpack for nursing school?

    ambitiousBSN replied to Lollipops's topic in General Students

    OH MY GOD. This times infinity! *bows to

  15. Additional course to be full time-Recommendation please!

    ambitiousBSN replied to jessburjess's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This was what I was thinking. Abnormal Psychology is an interesting class; I took it, and it was one of my favorite classes during my pre-requisites. Consider Statistics as well- I've seen that it...

  16. Helpful websites for content/review...and a pep talk :)

    ambitiousBSN replied to 001BondRN's topic in General Students

    Absolutely! :-) I transferred into my university last fall and have become close to two other girls who also transferred in that same semester, so we've stuck by one another ever since and are...

  17. Helpful websites for content/review...and a pep talk :)

    ambitiousBSN replied to 001BondRN's topic in General Students

    Thank you so much for the incredible wealth of information! This is super helpful moving forward as a first semester nursing student. I've bookmarked this thread for future reference as well as a...

  18. Starting school in two weeks!!! ahhh

    ambitiousBSN replied to Marleeblyss's topic in General Students

    At least you have something to do on campus- we've already had two mini orientations, if that's even what they're meant to be called. We had two information sessions, one of which was to go over...

  19. Stethoscopes

    ambitiousBSN replied to kenee23's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    When I started working in a hospital 6+ years ago (Geez, it seems like yesterday... ), I had a dual-tubed steth. I eventually upgraded to a Littmann Classic II and never looked back! Seriously, they...

  20. Starting school in two weeks!!! ahhh

    ambitiousBSN replied to Marleeblyss's topic in General Students

    I'm a ball of emotions ranging from excited to anxious to nervous to wondering whatever possessed me to do this to myself! But, I can't imagine myself doing anything else, so I'm more anxious to get...

  21. Pinning ceremony tomorrow

    ambitiousBSN replied to Mrsladysoul83's topic in General Students

    This is such a wonderful, positive post! :-) Congratulations! I'm only beginning my BSN program at the end of this month and I'm already thinking ahead to my own pinning ceremony. Good luck with your...

  22. Paying for Course syllabus?

    ambitiousBSN replied to QueenAnnissa's topic in General Students

    Wow, that's outrageous! I've never had to pay for a syllabus which is good considering most were 4-5 pages. I'm not entirely sure if my program will charge us for our syllabi. I hope they just give us...

  23. Anyone else frustrated by the pain scale??

    ambitiousBSN replied to gomerblog's topic in General Students

    I would always wonder what could possibly be 10/10 when they're laughing, joking, etc. during assessment and/or vitals, but pain is pain- and whatever the patient says,

  24. Need advice on nursing route

    ambitiousBSN replied to sbarry0506's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Based on your description of crime rate and the fact your husband would have to commute 2-hours, you should attend an ADN program. It would be less money for your degree, and you wouldn't have to move...

  25. Would getting my CNA be worth it at this point....?

    ambitiousBSN replied to lovepeacetx's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It definitely couldn't hurt to look at getting your CNA. I worked as a CMA in an outpatient setting as CMA's are generally hired to assist with the physician, not the nurse, so we are more utilized in...
