  1. Deciding Schools. Help Please

    K_girl replied to Dibbadee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think your goals are great and i wish you luck :) If it were me, I would probably forego those 2 schools and opt for one that may not be as ritzy but will be less expensive. Have you thought about...

  2. Short semester A&P, kicking myself in the tush!!

    K_girl replied to Plasticgloworm's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What kind of learner are you? Myself, I am a visual-kinesthetic learner. If you are a visual learner, you may try looking up some videos on youtube or online to help explain some concepts. Flash...

  3. Short semester A&P, kicking myself in the tush!!

    K_girl replied to Plasticgloworm's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You will do fine! It seems daunting but you will get through it. I originally took A&P1 as a minimester so it was only 2 weeks long! I worked full time while taking the class but I somehow...

  4. Working and going to nursing school?

    K_girl replied to Lame's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    do you have a job now? If not, you may want to find one that would be willing to work with your school schedule; It's always helpful to have one that will allow you to change from pt to ft or vice...

  5. Cna classes-what textbook do you have???

    K_girl replied to tex42cares's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    We used Mosby's Textbook for Nursing Assistants, 7th Edition by Sheila Sorrentino. I liked it. The company is the same one that my NS uses for their books (elsevier). @tex42....you got a great deal!...

  6. Working and going to nursing school?

    K_girl replied to Lame's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A few of my friends worked but only on a part time basis. One girl worked 8 hours/week..another 16. No one I know worked full time but I've read some posts from people here on this board that did. I...

  7. CNA work

    K_girl replied to ChrisCNA's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I completely agree with the other comments. I think it really helps to learn and get comfortable with patient interaction. There is definitely nothing wrong with someone if they want to be a CNA for...

  8. CNA expernice

    K_girl replied to ChrisCNA's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    if its only been 2 mo i would not take a refresher. Now had it been over a year, i may consider it. However, 2 months is really not that long of a time and you will start to remember things once you...

  10. white underwear under white scrub bottoms?

    K_girl replied to ashleymarie23's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Spidey is right..flesh colored is always better than white. sometimes you can get away with really pale pink too. but white on white (unless they are white pants under white pants) are a no

  11. Thinking of getting an RN

    K_girl replied to jhamm771's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Since you already have your BA, have you thought about getting an ABSN? Nursing can definitely be full of drama but there are a lot of different opportunities out there. Have you thought about doing...

  13. skills test question

    K_girl replied to CNA/glorified maid's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Just from what i read in your post, there has to be more to the story than what was given. I dont believe they would fail someone for those reasons

  14. Geezzz..the wait on accepantace/denial for NS

    K_girl replied to keepmovingrn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  16. Working at a hospital during pre-reqs possible??

    K_girl replied to Kare7213's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You may need to start somewhere other than a hospital if you don't have any experience. The hospitals around me want at least a year experience for a CNA position. I just got offered a job at a ccrc...

  17. Dress Code Violations?

    K_girl replied to BP91's topic in General Students

    I completely agree with the above. School isn't about being in a fashion show. You won't always like your uniforms but that's not up to you to decide. The school wrote the rules and you just need to...

  18. should I let my boyfriend support me financiallythrough nursing school

    K_girl replied to Divalish918's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How serious is your relationship? How long have you been together? If you are only dating, I would probably say it's a nice gesture that he would offer to do that. However, if you do decide to take...

    K_girl replied to MissMcCoy's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Haha..tried that since he does love his beer. Still a no go! I even tried to start asking for something smaller..like shaving..still a no!

  22. Partial bed bath/washcloth procedure

    K_girl replied to deetrain's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    i'm not sure how they taught it at your school but my instructor told us not to put it back in the basin of water. We use one washcloth for wash then another for rinse. I believe she told us we need 7...

  23. feedback on personal statement thus far?

    K_girl replied to spasd89's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think that's a good start. You opened your opening paragraph with a quote from the school's emblem. I think you should also include other reasons as to why you want to go to Rhodes above all other...

  24. feedback on personal statement thus far?

    K_girl replied to spasd89's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    i think it was good. However, I think you included so many details that it seemed as if it was more of a story than a narrative as to why YOU chose nursing.

  25. Well, I'm In...Now What Am I Going To Do???

    K_girl replied to greenfiremajick's topic in General Students

    congratulations! i am starting in the fall too. I received my letters in March. I immediately started making a game plan for school and my personal life. I eventually ended up deciding to quit my...
