  2. The Lord's Prayer for Nursing Students

    Michaelxy replied to RNOkie's topic in General Students

    Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of failure, I will fear no exam; for I have studied; thy pen and thy scantron comfort me as I am the best darn student I can

  3. Is Critical Thinking TAUGHT or just ASSESSED?

    Michaelxy replied to sunny d's topic in General Students

    The debater in me tells me that critical thinking is more than just logical thinking and common sense, as this is a very linear approach to a problem and often limits ones visio-spatial perspective....

    Michaelxy replied to 7student7's topic in General Nursing

    I have some experience with the homeless here in downtown San Diego. My wife and I have done some volunteer work with a few shelters. Last Christmas the wife and I handed out blankets at various...

    Michaelxy replied to •M♥J•'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I felt real embarrassed the other day at the grocery store when I had $300.00 worth of groceries and my credit card was declined. I had to crawl out of the store in shame and start making calls....

  6. Would you guys recommend taking Micro or Anatomy/Phys first?

    Michaelxy replied to futureRN-BSN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Michaelxy replied to sdwahine's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think I worded my sentiments badly in my previous comment about EOPS (EOPS program's primary goal is to encourage the enrollment, retention and transfer of students handicapped by language, social,...

  8. Online Pre Reqs?

    Michaelxy replied to sdwahine's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As I have said twice, if you can afford going out of state online, go for it. I was simply pointing out the cost impact. I do not plan on debating this issue. Further, I do not know your local, but I...

  9. Online Pre Reqs?

    Michaelxy replied to sdwahine's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Granted, certain impacted classes like A or P and Micro fill up after a few days of registration, but I always have managed to get my needed classes with a little due diligence. You really have to be...

  10. Online Pre Reqs?

    Michaelxy replied to sdwahine's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For a Ca. resident, a CC class is $26.00 per unit, out of state classes cost about 25 times as much. I suppose if you can afford $2k per class it is

  12. Online Pre Reqs?

    Michaelxy replied to sdwahine's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Michaelxy replied to blueyesue's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You mean like looking for things such as gram pos or neg, that sort of stuff? It is fun I think, your chance to be a detective. NCIS stuff :) Have fun with it.

  15. Drug Testing

    Michaelxy replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Just to play devils advocate in this long debated issue. In the U.S versus Von Raab, 489 U.S. 656 (1989). The U.S. Supreme court decided public safety outweighed the individuals right and expectation...

  18. cheating classmates!

    Michaelxy replied to moma8gma1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, I am in the normal kind of college so not sure what you are implying? I served in the U.S. military (most likely before you were born) and we were taught to police our own before going up the...

  19. cheating classmates!

    Michaelxy replied to moma8gma1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I appreciate your frustration and I am not suggesting that cheating be tolerated, at the same time I have my own problems and enough to worry about. I rather work on my own success and let the others...

  20. ASN TO BSN, Need help with paper.

    Michaelxy replied to Ared1's topic in General Students

    I would seriously consider using NTSAD as a resource, you might get lucky. I have done such things on many research papers and have usually received help. Here is another site you might want to view....

  21. Dosage calculations

    Michaelxy replied to dcRn2b's topic in General Students

    Maybe this will make things more clear. Lets see if this works :) We start with what we are given and should end with what we want. In this case we are given 1200ml over 6hrs and we want drops per...

    Michaelxy replied to Ared1's topic in General Students

    How about mental health professionals to assist in counseling the patients in the tough choices ahead such as abortion. Perhaps religious leaders also. What about doctors such as neurologist to...

    Michaelxy replied to psustudent5's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed, and to illustrate your point is a Ironman triathlete, 4 time cancer survivor and heart recipient Kyle Garlett....

  24. Dosage calculations

    Michaelxy replied to dcRn2b's topic in General Students

    Without knowing your exact problem, I will make one up for setting up using dimensional analysis (Dimensional analysis is cool method I think). Q. Compute flow rate for 1200ml of solution to be...

  25. Cellular/Molecular Biology

    Michaelxy replied to fabulousity89's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    erm...study harder? Really, you need to evaluate yourself and what caused you trouble, how can we know what you had problems with? Perhaps if you offered us a little insight into what areas of this...
