  1. Blind Nursing Student?

    cmw6v8 replied to tonicareer's topic in General Students

    @Donald11, If you go to the American Foundation for the Blind's website, to name just one, you will find a wealth of information regarding technology to assist people with vision problems. There is...

  2. Blind Nursing Student?

    cmw6v8 replied to tonicareer's topic in General Students

    Wow, you know there is all kinds of technology out there to assist blind people with using computers. Feel those little bumps on the F and J keys on your keyboard? And that's just for...

  3. Blind Nursing Student?

    cmw6v8 replied to tonicareer's topic in General Students

    Also I think a lot of schools will formulate a special education plan for students with disabilities...she may have different assignments and different clinical rotations where she can learn skills...

  4. A day in the life of a nurse....

    cmw6v8 replied to anonymous1919's topic in General Nursing

    I'm interested in reading responses to this as well. I'll be in nursing school in the fall so I'm still pretty new to everything...I like to read about other people's days. It seems like the "typical...

  5. Should I take chemistry?

    cmw6v8 replied to sk8inghunny's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Chemistry was the first course I took when I first started thinking about going back to school for nursing. I didn't have chemistry in college or even in high school, and I had previously labeled...

  6. Nursing Education, Not Training!!

    cmw6v8 replied to scoochy's topic in General Nursing

    I'm going to be a student nurse in the fall, and this topic is interesting, me being a linguistics nerd---it does seem like "Training" is more of a generational thing, or it could be a safe word to...

  7. Mean nursing instructors

    cmw6v8 replied to nicki123's topic in General Students

    Unless there is a specific situation that applied to you, this is really all just gossip, and gossip is unprofessional. I feel like professionalism is important, even if you are just a student. Of...

  8. Nursing School Must Haves??

    cmw6v8 replied to Servingshots's topic in General Students

    Regarding laptops/recorders... If your school doesn't allow recorders but DOES allow laptops, there are plenty of applications you can use to record your lecture via your laptop (the easiest probably...

  9. "Traditional" private colleges offering BSN?

    cmw6v8 replied to blondielocks's topic in General Students

    I will be attending a small private liberal arts college with a great nursing program in the fall. Yes, it is more expensive than my local state university, but I was also accepted into the program on...

  10. ADN or BSN

    cmw6v8 replied to nursingstudent221's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it depends on a lot of personal factors that you have to evaluate yourself--what programs are available to you, what your income/lifestyle situation is, how long it will take you to do your...

  11. For those of you who have taken transfer courses before nursing school...

    cmw6v8 replied to Just A Wanderer's topic in General Students

    By the time I start my nursing classes in the fall, it will have been one year since I've had anatomy. For me, I'm not too worried. I kept my textbooks and I will do a refresher before I start, and I...

  12. For those of you who have taken transfer courses before nursing school...

    cmw6v8 replied to Just A Wanderer's topic in General Students

    Well, I begin my nursing coursework full-time this fall, but I took all my pre-reqs online or evening classes from a different college. For most programs, I think most of these classes are...

  13. Today after clinical I broke down in Tears!!:(

    cmw6v8 replied to believeallispossible's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    With the science thing, I can relate, but in an opposite sort of way...in high school I never had very good science teachers...I always gravitated towards English and creative classes. I thought I...

  14. Mind Boggling - Not going to graduation?

    cmw6v8 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    I don't know how the prestige of pinning/graduation differs from that of any other major...I am a second-degree nursing student to begin full-time nursing coursework in the fall. My first degree was...

  15. GPA

    cmw6v8 replied to UCDAVIS JESSICA's topic in General Students

    I guess it just depends on the school. The school I did my prereqs at had no restrictions on retaking classes. But they were a private school and many classes were online. Or you could retake the...

  16. GPA

    cmw6v8 replied to UCDAVIS JESSICA's topic in General Students

    In my experience most colleges are willing to let you repeat a class--think about it; they're getting a two-fer deal on tuition! Some colleges may have restrictions, but a lot of smaller private or...

  17. How to pursue a second bachelors degree?

    cmw6v8 replied to bluenyellow's topic in General Students

    I'm a second degree student as well. I applied to an accelerated program, got waitlisted (my GPA is 3.6) but accepted into a traditional 2-year program to start in the fall. I worked full-time while I...

  18. I need advice!

    cmw6v8 replied to kindofageek's topic in General Students

    I think either of those are good options. You could stay at your school and switch majors for the time being while you look into transferring to another program. That way if you don't get accepted...

  19. What's the general role of a nurse?

    cmw6v8 replied to ice2012's topic in General Students

    For a realistic look at the nursing profession from an outsider's point of view, I would highly recommend reading Nursing Against the Odds. It really helped me learn about the field and helped to...

  20. What are the advantages of going to a private university nursing school?

    cmw6v8 replied to Unesdala's topic in General Students

    Sounds like I'm headed down a similar career path as you--but for my BSN I'm going to a local private liberal arts college, no national name recognition. When it comes time for my Masters (looking at...

  21. If 50% of the class failed an exam..Was it because the instructor failed to teach?

    cmw6v8 replied to hopefully's topic in General Students

    Yikes, I feel for you! I just finished an online pharmacology class that was a pre-req for an accelerated BSN program (I was on the waitlist for the program, and ended up not getting in, but I am...

  22. TEAS EXAM: I failed...Anyone take it with some advice?

    cmw6v8 replied to karenroxx's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I actually don't even know how I did on the TEAS...the program I applied to is in its 3rd year of using it and doesn't have a required score since they are still in the phases of assessing what their...

  23. Any suggestions on getting a head start

    cmw6v8 replied to 2bnurseofchrist's topic in General Students

    I'm also interested in hearing suggestions about prep before my nursing coursework begins in the fall. So far the only ideas I've had have been to start listening to some nursing podcasts to get my...
