  1. Proper salutation for a NP?

    sserrn replied to heatherhammy's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It doesn't really matter what anyone's opinion is on the matter. The state in which an NP practices makes the determination on whether a DNP-prepared NP can be referred to as "Dr." It's a legal...

  2. cumalative gpa how do you calculate

    sserrn replied to mikewyn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It shouldn't at all. Depending on who's evaluating your grades/transcripts, they may or may not like it, but it has no effect on your GPA as far as I

  3. cumalative gpa how do you calculate

    sserrn replied to mikewyn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Here's how you calculate GPA. Forget the online calculator. It's not that difficult, unless I'm not understanding something here. Ok, (1) for EACH institution you've attended, multiply the number...

  4. cumalative gpa how do you calculate

    sserrn replied to mikewyn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Overall would mean EVERYTHING--both GPA from classes taken towards your degree and the classes in the community college and everything else you've taken at the undergrad level. Good

  5. ASU Accelerated BSN Program

    sserrn replied to thespikyhairedgirl's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I saw that too. Then, I don't know if you've read the FAQs or not, but on there it says orientation is usually the Thursday or Friday before classes start, so I was wondering which was correct...

  6. ASU Accelerated BSN Program

    sserrn replied to thespikyhairedgirl's topic in General Nursing

    I applied! Can't wait to find out! Acceptance/rejection () letters are supposed to be sent out the first week of June, as per the pre-nursing advisor. And orientation is supposed to be June 18th,...

  7. What specialty do you want and not want to work in?

    sserrn replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

    Still pre-nursing, so this could change after clinicals, but for now: YES: ER, ICU, OR MAYBE: NICU NO: LTC, MED/SURG, GERIATRICS,

  8. Have any males experienced what I am feeling now being in nursing school?

    sserrn replied to lum917's topic in Male Nursing Students

    ^^^^^^^^ lol One of those most unfortunate

  9. Anybody know of any Chem classes with NO lab?

    sserrn replied to mell260's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Check your local community college. I believe that some will let you take a class like that without lab even if it does have an associated

  10. Nurse vs. Physician Assistant

    sserrn replied to seek4hope's topic in General Students

    You might want to ask around in your area of the country how the job market is right now for PAs. If it's decent, I think I would personally probably go with that. You make more (~$20K) money, you...

  11. What are the BEST and WORST States to practice as an NP?

    sserrn replied to Roland's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hey guys! I don't believe this link has been proffered yet (my apologies if it has!), but here's the best ranking of the states I've found:...

  12. Is a 12 month BSN too fast to learn the material well?

    sserrn replied to cacurlytop's topic in General Students

    I am also applying to an A-BSN program that lasts 12 months that starts this fall. What school are you applying to? If you're very concerned about it, you might ask the nursing advisor what the...

  13. Accelerated BSN Starts Next Month! BIG SECOND THOUGHTS!

    sserrn replied to JustMeWhoeverThatIs's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, if it were me I'd probably be doing a whole lot of praying about it, for one... $80K is a lot of debt, which you know well. I have no idea how much the Navy will cover of it, but it would...

  14. Digestive system help!

    sserrn replied to hopefulUS's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't know about the first two, but lactose is broken down into monosaccharides by intestinal brush border enzyme lactase. Good luck on your test!! I have one in a week on digestive, metabolism and...

  15. How many hours do you study for A/P II tests?

    sserrn posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am almost embarrassed to admit that I study (in total) an average of 15-20 hours for each A & P II test. Our tests are almost entirely short answer (read: essay) and I just can't make an A with...

  16. Will I ever become a CRNA?

    sserrn replied to oopymoss's topic in General Students

    I've never heard of a BN; in fact, I don't think it exists...a Bachelor's must be a B.A. (of arts) or B.S. (of science, which nursing would fall into). The only exception I can think of is music...

  17. Trends in CRNA Compensations in Future

    sserrn replied to Manurse715's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Bluewaterz--I think he was referring to CRNAs vs. Anesthesiologists--not

  18. How many hours do you study for A/P II tests?

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

    Thanks for your responses! Just for reference, I was studying the approximately 20 hours 2-3 days before the exam. It worked, but it's way too stressful. I can honestly say I've never thought...

  19. CRNA Vs. MD

    sserrn replied to Amir's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    (1) google it...putting patients to sleep, pain management in some cases, monitoring patient during surgeries, etc. (2) you would have to become an RN (my understanding is that you could do an ADN OR...

  20. Tell me your GPA. Just wanna compare

    sserrn replied to mahkev2000's topic in Male Nursing Students

    3.60 cumulative right now (still working on pre-reqs), hopefully 3.64 by the end of this semester (when I finish my pre-reqs). Kudos to everyone with the super high GPAs! I didn't really know how to...

  21. A&P

    sserrn replied to ashbarn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Probably not...I think it's probably like "Essentials of A & P" at my school...it's a class that prepares you to take the real thing. Just my

  22. how did you take your prerequisites?

    sserrn replied to sam1984's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Unless you want anotherdegree (besides Nursing), just take your pre-reqs and get outta there. You're not under any obligation to finish a degree there. I declared a major at my community college too...

  23. What helped you learn Physiology? Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

    sserrn replied to emily_ganshert's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There are quite a few videos on youtube concerning the Na+ - K+ pump. They're probably a lot easier to understand than a textbook

  24. A&P Lecture vs. Lab

    sserrn replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Since I've already answered both of your questions, I feel that I should have permission to make one more comment, as a sort of addendum to my last post. You asked a question to which there is no...

  25. A&P Lecture vs. Lab

    sserrn replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, I guess you have Monday - Wednesday of next week to study for the lab practical. I feel for you working PT and taking 5 classes. This semester A/P II is my only'hard' class. Back when 'hard'...
