  1. Nursing Dream or Reality?

    Streamline2010 replied to 42&mytime's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't forget about CLEP, if you are good at self-teaching. https://allnurses.com/about-nursing-student/how-did-do-790434-page6.html and how she did that, I don't know but it's impressive! :-)...

  2. Which Chemistry Class is best?

    Streamline2010 replied to NicoleH405's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If all you need for AS or BS or diploma is the Survey class, then I'd take that. Nursing doesn't use more than a smattering of stuff that's in General Chem. And the immediate goal is Nursing....

  3. Is math in nursing hard? Maybe I should reconsider nursing?

    Streamline2010 replied to brenay's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ^ True. You'll never use most of what's in those college algebra classes. I never took algebra in college. I had it in 7th and 8th grade high school. For nursing, I studied from a GED Math...

  4. Question about Antipsychotic Sideffects

    Streamline2010 replied to trudiegrl's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    That's interesting. So, then, for the question the OP asked about, could a student essentially discard "sedation" as a distractor (unlikely, or at least not the most correct answer), because, to a...

  5. College Algebra ughh

    Streamline2010 replied to beckyboo1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Statistics doesn't use even 10% of the stuff you had to do in algebra. Just learn the statistics terms and the equations and the significance of the various things you'll have to calculate. It was...

  6. Does Obamacare 2014 allow only BSRN to sit for NCLEX-RN?

    Streamline2010 posted a topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Does Obamacare 2014 allow only BSRN degrees to sit for NCLEX-RN? Not diploma or associate degree RN? A student I talked to yesterday said that SNAP (Student Nurses' Association of PA) was saying...

  7. Should You Commute To Nursing School?

    Streamline2010 replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Students

    Unless you can study while you commute, commuting time just wastes time that could otherwise be used for studying. This is especially true if you are in an accelerated BSRN or a dipolma school...

  8. Does Obamacare 2014 allow only BSRN to sit for NCLEX-RN?

    Streamline2010 replied to Streamline2010's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    ^^ That is the most asinine response, yet. If you had bothered to read through the entire thread, you'd have seen that I originally posed the question in the in the STUDENT section because I wanted...

  9. At scene of fatal accident yesterday...

    Streamline2010 replied to jamieslovingmom's topic in General Nursing

    ^ This. It's why, when everyone else went big, I went big, too. I now drive a Ford Crown Vic car, and a Chevy 2500HD diesel. People need to consider the big picture, not just the MPGs, when they...

  10. Does Obamacare 2014 allow only BSRN to sit for NCLEX-RN?

    Streamline2010 replied to Streamline2010's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    But that's not important right now... (as they said on the Airplane movie)

  11. Does Obamacare 2014 allow only BSRN to sit for NCLEX-RN?

    Streamline2010 replied to Streamline2010's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    [Just clarifying: I am the one who started the thread, and originally, it was in the General Student section but the mods moved it here. I am considering diploma and associate degree schools. I...

  12. Questions To Ask When Registering

    Streamline2010 replied to jennaroo's topic in General Students

    someone on here used CLEP tests to CLPE out of most pre-reqs. I thought that was the coolest thing, ever. Post #57, here: https://allnurses.com/about-nursing-student/how-did-do-790434-page6.html...

  13. Does Obamacare 2014 allow only BSRN to sit for NCLEX-RN?

    Streamline2010 replied to Streamline2010's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    What she told me (and she's her school's SNAP rep) is that in 2014, it's BSRN only in PA. And I said "HUH???!" Obamacare was the only thing I could think of that would precipitate that change,...

  14. Help? What is the difference between a "A.S." and a "A.A.S" in nursing?

    Streamline2010 replied to xxMichelleJxx's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    What is the difference between an Associate of Science degree AS and an Associates of Applied Science AAS degree What is the difference between an Associates in Applied Science and an Associates of...

  15. Details, learn to be type A?

    Streamline2010 replied to copperhopper's topic in General Students

    Also, stress and physical or mental fatigue make one prone to memory losses and /or inability to concentrate fully on the tasks at hand. Just

  16. Context Based Learning

    Streamline2010 replied to Chaundra's topic in General Students

    As a mature adult, I concur with that. The CBL belongs later in the program. First, you learn, Thoroughly, the basics. THEN you apply it. My major gripe with RN school was that they are ALWAYS...

  17. Application Denied!

    Streamline2010 replied to Shellie81's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, night schools for RN are going to be pretty hard to find. Work as a CNA on Friday nights and weekends and go to a day RN school is all I can suggest. I suggested LPN, because here in western...

  18. Application Denied!

    Streamline2010 replied to Shellie81's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Look at other schools and see whose selection criteria would favor your grades, qualifications, GPA, etc. Not all RN schools rewuire the same prereqs. Not all require an interview. Some allow you...

  19. ANY advice on A&P

    Streamline2010 replied to havehope's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Anatomy is just mostly rote memorization of body parts and names. Go over & over it until you have memorized and you remember what's what. I think the biggest problem with A&P for most...

  20. Any study tips for the NLN?

    Streamline2010 replied to gorjiss0415's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    All of the pre-entrance exams will be the same for English, grammar, reading comprehension, and basic math. HESI & NLN PAX: Those two exams are very similar, or at least were back on 2009-2001....

  21. How old is your hospital?

    Streamline2010 replied to NevadaFighter's topic in General Nursing

    When I was a college student, I rented a room in the spare nurses dorm at Reading (PA) Hospital. Those buildings were all connected with tunnels, too. And the tunnel from our building was still...

  22. Failed my final by 4 points

    Streamline2010 replied to Hopestobe's topic in General Students

    Nursing Fundamentals looked like total chaos to me, because it's the catch-all class for giving you basic CNA-type skills, the legal issues involved in patient care, etc. At the school I was...

  23. How did/do you pay for nursing school?

    Streamline2010 replied to Joe V's topic in General Students

    Working in 12 months, here. Western Pennsylvania might be an excellent place to look for a LPN school. Every county has a "career center" that used to be called a vo-tech, and they all have a LPN...

  24. Why do students voluntarily drop out of nursing school?

    Streamline2010 replied to pink0605's topic in General Students

    I had to LOL at your comment (whoop with laughter, actually), GreenTea, because mother-baby-labor-delivery and having to learn all that child development was actually the last nail in the coffin for...

  25. You're going to think I'm nuts

    Streamline2010 replied to ixchel's topic in General Students

    No, I don't think it's odd to love nursing school and be very happy there. I think it's how it should be, actually. People learn better when they are not exhausted and fearful and anxious and...
