  1. Anyone else hate group projects?

    JROregon replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    If you have more group stuff coming up, you need to be proactive and pick out some of the people in class that you think will jump on the project right away. I despise group projects as well but it...

  2. Not enough stamina to be a nurse?

    JROregon replied to pitaya's topic in General Students

    100 % agree with Kayty. Get checked out by your doctor. You should not be out of breath at home, that isn't normal at all. After getting fully checked out, you might have more stamina with daily...

  3. Yelled at for posting on AN

    JROregon replied to Bormio's topic in General Students

    When you tell everyone what school you are attending and what group you are in and then say that the program kinda stinks, it makes the school kinda wonder why you are there. Venting is fine but you...

  4. Nursing Pre reqs

    JROregon replied to melissa1987's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would get myself really familiar with math. As a nurse, you'll be using math on a daily basis. While it may not be rocket science style math, you still want to feel comfortable with your...

  5. Performing a good head-to-toe assessment.

    JROregon replied to RedXIII_'s topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm working on typing up my script. I won't be able to take it in with me while I get tested but it helps me remember what to do. I'm starting with the A&Ox3, eyes, nose, mouth (checking cranial...

  6. Starting Clinicals, Hepatitis B Vaccine question

    JROregon replied to nursegc's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    In my program if you don't get the vaccinations, you don't need to bother with going to clinicals and passing the class. Last year, I did hours and hours of research on vaccinations for a writing...

  7. Chemistry Lab Report grade/friends death

    JROregon replied to TC1087271's topic in General Students

    Really crummy things happen in the midst of getting an education and trying to do your best in school. I've had class mates go through serious illnesses, death of an adult child, and parents and they...

  8. Nursing Pre reqs

    JROregon replied to melissa1987's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What kind of math are you bad at ? Have you taken an algebra course in the past? Do the A&P classes at the college you want to attend require algebra as a pre-req. Once in nursing school, the...

  9. What's your plan B "if" you don't make it into Nursing school ?

    JROregon replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A spork ? How 'bout a spknife, or is it just

  10. Pharm class.

    JROregon replied to HCollier's topic in General Students

    We get a 1 credit pharm class for 3 terms so I guess that' like a 3 credit, 1 term class : ) It doesn't seem difficult so far. What are you having trouble with so far? My program is an

  11. Should pre-reqs really take 3 years to complete?

    JROregon replied to Katwallace's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Most can get the pre-reqs done in 2 years. My school requires college algebra and biology or chem as a pre-req to get into the A&P classes and requires general ed as well as 7 "points" classes....

  12. Your pre req gpa....

    JROregon replied to AlleycatLPN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    3.94 for all classes, 4.0 in my classes that counted for "points" toward admissions. Darn research writing class messed it up. I didn't need nearly that high of a GPA. I think we have folks with...

  13. CNA prior to BSN?

    JROregon replied to leenak's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I go to one of those schools that requires a CNA before applying. It wasn't practical for me to work as a CNA but I thought the class was helpful mostly for feeling comfortable around patients and...

  14. How many more math classes will I need?

    JROregon replied to OnaTrek's topic in General Students

    I will reiterate that statistics may be the only "math" you'll need to further your education after the ASN/ADN. I took statistics about 25 years ago and I found it to be more of a critical thinking...

  15. Is anatomy one of the toughest courses for nursing?

    JROregon replied to Toots71506's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would say that I enjoyed but spent a lot of time studying for my A&P classes. I thought my writing courses were more difficult because they weren't straightforward at all and getting motivated...

  16. what should i expect

    JROregon replied to Jaylonda's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What classes are you going to be taking

  17. Accepted. Now What?

    JROregon replied to mangopeach's topic in General Students

    I'll be starting next week so I don't know if my advice will be all that helpful. I went out and bought a NCLEX book, Kaplan, I believe. I went through all the questions in the book and tried to...

  18. Do you call your teachers by their 1st names?

    JROregon replied to noyesno's topic in General Students

    I call every instructor by first name because I'm old. I might have to reconsider if they have a PhD or MD after their name : ) Usually people want to be called by their first names unless there is a...

  19. CNA plus pre-nursing

    JROregon replied to nursingstudent221's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Did the facility where you would be doing your CNA training give you a typical schedule ? I think it would be difficult to do both the CNA and your other classes at the same time unless you don't...

  20. Microbiology with A&P I OR II?

    JROregon replied to JennL's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was an old lady mom with only cell biology (my CC made up a class that mixed a little chem with cell structure and DNA) and the first of 3 A&P classes under my belt. I took micro with A&P II...

  21. Checked out some programs while visiting...

    JROregon replied to christinamuniz's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Do you know if they have a hospital they are partnered with for clinicals? That would be my biggest concern. How much is it going to cost? So, the only problem I have with these "for profit"...

  22. Microbiology with A&P I OR II?

    JROregon replied to JennL's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have you taken biology at the cellular level ? If so, you should be fine taking micro with either of your A&P classes. Micro is tough but it's just because you'll be looking at the structure and...

  23. Mom thinking about going back to nursing school... NEEDS ENCOURAGEMENT!!!

    JROregon replied to JenInSchool's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've got more than 10 years on you but was in the same situation 2 years ago, when my youngest began kindergarten. I have a BS in business admin and had a few useful classes on my transcripts like...

  24. Is this normal?

    JROregon replied to OBplease's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can understand the new text but she should be able to tell which items are critical and which are just over work. We have an instructor at our school who likes to assign a couple of short research...

    JROregon replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in General Nursing
