  1. CPR beat songs

    Saysfaa posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    BeeGee's Stayin Alive seems to be the standard, and Queen's Another One Bites the Dust isn't really very appropriate These also have the right beat to get the chest compression rate right......

  2. Selling books on Amazon...

    Saysfaa replied to 7237dallas's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think so because it is generally assumed the access codes aren't good if the book is used. It won't matter for a lot of people because the access codes are usually

  3. Question regarding background check

    Saysfaa replied to guest514's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    "only exclude class c misdemeanors".... do they mean exclude this kind of misdemeanor from your list of

  4. hepatitis b for pre nursing application

    Saysfaa replied to deebry's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The point of the vaccine is to give one immunity. You are immune. You should be able to show that immunity either through documentation from when you had it or from the results of a titer. So,...

  5. Recommendations for pre-nursing school supplies

    Saysfaa replied to pmabraham's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't know about printers. I have only a black and white one. The two or three times I've wanted to print something in color, I went to the computer lab at school. No, the most economical has been...

  6. Recommendations for pre-nursing school supplies

    Saysfaa replied to pmabraham's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Every term: three ring binder, loose leaf paper, a few paper protectors (to put maps and the syllabi in and divide papers), a few pocket folders and/or pocket inserts for the binder. A three ring...

  7. Summer schedule... going crazy!

    Saysfaa replied to BSNinprogress22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Two history classes and intro to soc... probably 12 credits. That is 12 hours per week in class if it were a 16 week semester. You are thinking of doing it in a 4 week term. So, think of it as 48...

  8. Question about the Science courses

    Saysfaa replied to NCmcMan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sometimes going a little slower will get you there much faster. BSN is a four year degree and it is quite realistic to do it in four years if you know from the beginning that is what you plan to do...

  9. Question about the Science courses

    Saysfaa replied to NCmcMan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, as JustBeachyNurse said, A&P is (usually) a two 4-credit classes - either Anatomy and then Physiology or A&P I and then A&P II. Micro is one semester, and usually a four credit...

  10. Future College Plans...help!

    Saysfaa replied to theodorerhoades's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How close are you to a bachelor's? Unless you are really close, I think it would be better to get the BSN (or an associates RN) rather than the bachelors and then accelerated BSN. I second the...

  11. Nursing Student School Essay

    Saysfaa replied to lyjaj's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Is the essay to answer all three prompts or just one of them? I don’t see answers to the second two. There, they’re, their. The first spelling is the one that means a place – here and there....

  12. Volunteer & work experience

    Saysfaa replied to studentbear's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would stay with the child rather than put more hours into the desk job if all else is approximentally even about them (distance and/or travel expenses, pay, advancement opportunities, etc). The...

  13. I don't wanna!

    Saysfaa replied to Twinmom06's topic in General Students

    Sociology

  14. Classes that can be taken after pre-reqs are completed?

    Saysfaa replied to Tiff1989's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You might consider taking the gen ed classes you would need for a BSN in case you ever wanted to bridge up to one. I second the pathophysiology, pharma-anything. Writing classes can be very helpful...

  15. Muscles?

    Saysfaa replied to Apples9847's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Teach it. If you don't have anyone available or willing to be taught then assume you have been hired to tutor someone, or been invited to be a guest speaker on this subject. In the process of sorting...

  16. which math to take

    Saysfaa replied to aperry05's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Statistics is required by many more health related programs than pre-calc is. It is also required by some advanced classes - either BSN level or masters level. It will help you better understand the...

  17. Studying material before taking class?

    Saysfaa replied to dt70's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've done this to some degree in several classes. I haven't found it very helpful, except working on basic math (fractions, metric system and conversions to, from, and within the metric system)...

  18. To much time wasted on classes that have nothing to do with Nursing!!!

    Saysfaa replied to Mschwab316's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Runsalot, I can think of dozens of ways the classes are a benefit - even the ones like sociology and human development for people in my situation. I learned quite a lot the first three times I took...

  19. To much time wasted on classes that have nothing to do with Nursing!!!

    Saysfaa replied to Mschwab316's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    "process info in an [hopefully] unbiased way" Seriously? At least you left the "hopefully" part in. This term I have sociology taught by a feminist and human development taught by a prof who...

  20. Bad Grades???

    Saysfaa replied to God'sLittleNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There are two issues with your first question. Your integrity and whether you would get caught. (I do understand the difference between thinking about doing something and actually do it - thinking...

  21. Kindle version of books

    Saysfaa replied to aperry05's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a Kindle. I thought the same thing you did - e-books for the lighter weight. I can't see it working well with textbooks. As soon as I spent a little time with it, I abandoned the thought of...

  22. Got a D in a nonscience class...

    Saysfaa replied to RHill9919's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree, it depends. Along with the above, it depends on whether the reasons you got the D are still issues. If they are even maybe still an issue, I wouldn't retake the class unless it the only one...

  23. Did you take general biology or human biology?

    Saysfaa replied to vettechtoRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What is human

  24. Include Stay at Home Mom on Application Resume?

    Saysfaa replied to BrooklynJulie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think phoenixnim has a good idea if the setting is right but I think the odds are against this being a good setting for it. Sometimes too clever can bite you. I do sympathize with the urge to count...

  25. Include Stay at Home Mom on Application Resume?

    Saysfaa replied to BrooklynJulie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would leave it
