    StangGang92 replied to doublehelix's topic in General Students

    Question for all of you, I'm getting my steth personalized. However, I'm engaged. I'll have my current last name in school but after graduation will be getting married. I'm getting a Littman Cardio...

  2. BSN to PA

    StangGang92 replied to GusM's topic in General Nursing

    I also think it is important to reiterate that the required 2015 DNP IS NOT happening. It is merely a suggestion. Sure, a lot of schools are taking away their MSN programs, but there are plenty of...

  3. Introduction to Biology Help

    StangGang92 replied to determined_30's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There really is no head start. Just read and read and read. Find a good study buddy when the class starts. I personally LOVE biology and got 103 in the class, but there was nothing I could have done...

  4. Student nurse tech job? Yeah right!

    StangGang92 replied to clucito01's topic in General Students

    I don't think the OP has finished NS, so looking for an RN job wouldn't make sense. To the OP: I know the feeling! I had applied to hospital jobs for well over a year. Got a few interviews (and it...

  6. Would you be mad if a fellow nursing student did this?

    StangGang92 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So today one of my suite-mates came to me and had told me something about her I hadn't expected. She will be going into her senior year of nursing this fall, but confessed that she isn't going to...

  7. Will I ever be accepted?!??!!?!?!?!!!?

    StangGang92 replied to want to do good 86's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not sure your financial situation and how comfortable you are with taking out loans, but have you looked into private colleges? The school I go to requires a 2.6 GPA and since it is a little more...

  8. Would you be mad if a fellow nursing student did this?

    StangGang92 replied to StangGang92's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Very interesting responses! I've certainly seen threads on this board "Should I be an RN or MD?" However, I've never seen anyone attempt getting their BSN while pursuing dental (or medical) school....

  9. Micro - I'm just sayin'

    StangGang92 replied to Summers_Off's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My lab got better. We grew cultures of the bacteria in our mouth and cultured some of our urine specimens and saw the difference between a casual and clean

  11. Do I need this for nursing school?

    StangGang92 posted a topic in General Students

    Hey all! I start nursing school this fall :yeah:and I asked some of the current students for some advice. One girl told me for anatomy to get an actual skeleton model (my program is somewhat odd in...

  12. Are you a PCT/CNA and a BSN/RN student ?

    StangGang92 replied to umslalum's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I work PRN in the float pool at a local hospital. I have to put in 16 hours a pay period, but I can ask to work as much as I want. I love that I can sign up for 4,8, or 12 hour shifts. It's extremely...

  13. Question About Microbiology Notes

    StangGang92 replied to NCRNMDM's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a bunch of micro notes already typed in a document if anyone is interested in a supplement to the OP's notes, considering not all micros are taught equal. Sorry for the hijack OP

  14. $$ for nursing students?

    StangGang92 replied to exit96's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Not yet, but we had someone come speak to the nursing club about the new health care and what it means for nurses (can we say boring...) The speaker works for a senator and she had said part of the...

  15. Do I need this for nursing school?

    StangGang92 replied to StangGang92's topic in General Students

    The cadaver lab is open for us to use until midnight. I'm not sure if there is a skeleton, I'd assume so. So I'm guessing the consensus is to forgo the skeleton. Now that $200 could go toward other...

  16. Do I need this for nursing school?

    StangGang92 replied to StangGang92's topic in General Students

    Oh really? This girl had told me she got hers for about $125. I don't think it was quite full scale and not made for anatomy specifically. But she said the major markers tend to be there even in...

    StangGang92 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello all Iowa/past Iowan nurses! So, I'm going to Mount Mercy this fall and I want to know what nurses think of the program and of the nurses coming out of the program. Obviously the college has...

  18. Pre-Nursing Attempting to get position in Hospital

    StangGang92 replied to msmise's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Jobs are tough to come by, especially tech jobs in the hospitals. It took me over 6 months of persistent applications before I got a job (with no prior experience) If you have the time to wait it out,...

  19. How to pick a nursing program

    StangGang92 replied to MariaPatty's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it is preferred to have a year or two of nursing experience, but many programs don't require it. I've heard it from both sides of the fence. My adviser says to go and get into graduate school...

  20. Did you know about nursing school before you were working towards nursing school?

    StangGang92 replied to StangGang92's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Let me correct myself when I said CNA, I meant the course, not the certification. But my program as well doesn't require an entrance test and only a 2.7 GPA. It however offers first priority to...

  21. Did you know about nursing school before you were working towards nursing school?

    StangGang92 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Often I think how unprepared many students are when completing their pre-reqs for NS. I know I didn't have any idea about the competitiveness of nursing schools and things such as admittance tests....

  22. Take LPN board halfway through nursing school?

    StangGang92 replied to rduterte's topic in General Students

    The local ADN program here lets you sit for your LPN boards after the first 2 semesters. After that it is your choice if you want to continue with your RN or stop after you've earned your

  23. Last 60 or Cumulative? 3.6/3.2 Which one will they take???

    StangGang92 replied to bloree07's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    It depends on the school. Where I'm from we have only one school offering a CRNA program in the state. Out of hundreds of applicants they take only 16. A nurse that I work with graduated with her BSN...

    StangGang92 replied to studabena's topic in General Students
