    Am I the only one?!!

    lifelearningrn replied to BrewerRN's topic in General Nursing

    These types of people are equally from all generations... I find that people who act like this had moms who act like this and/or babied the hell out of them every time they had the sniffles. People...

    Teas: Percentile Rank-Program

    lifelearningrn replied to student529's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The only schools that require TEAS in my area are 2 BSN programs. Almost all the ADN programs and a few other BSNs all do HESI. (1 ADN does

    Is Micro harder/easier than A&P?

    lifelearningrn replied to sk8inghunny's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've never seen it separated either .. but I'm thinking medical micro and micro & pathology are probably similar if not the exact same course. It's the course required for all the nursing programs...

    Is Micro harder/easier than A&P?

    lifelearningrn replied to sk8inghunny's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Is it Micro&Pathology? My instructor said that we basically cover two semesters worth in one and that it should be broken into 2 semesters like general bio and A/P.. take that for what it's worth....

    boils, furuncle and abscesses-skin cultures necessary? most likely MRSA?

    lifelearningrn replied to linguine's topic in General Nursing

    Bacteria are actually quite amazing in their ability to adapt, pass their DNA (especially their resistant genes) to others, and survive. They are growing resistant faster than we can find new drugs to...

    Reality Check for Nursing Hopefuls

    lifelearningrn replied to DedHedRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It is our greatest generation in those lowly nursing homes. People who lived through the great depression, WWII, people who helped give us the life we have today. I honestly hope to maybe start my...

    boils, furuncle and abscesses-skin cultures necessary? most likely MRSA?

    lifelearningrn replied to linguine's topic in General Nursing

    Isn't treating it as if it were MRSA without really knowing for sure compounding the problem? Treating an infection that can easily be cured with a basic penicillin with something stronger just...

    Reality Check for Nursing Hopefuls

    lifelearningrn replied to DedHedRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Reality check- Any college graduate in any field may or may not have trouble finding a job! The nurses coming here to ask, "where are all the jobs" are not necessarily a representative sample of new...

    Cat Anatomy

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

    The organs don't bother me nearly as much as the muscles.. the muscles all looked alike to me... just sliced here and there. I'm much more at home checking out organs and cavities and arteries.

    Cat Anatomy

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

    LOL I compartmentalize when I love on my cat. I try really hard to not see my specimen as a real cat.

    Is Micro harder/easier than A&P?

    lifelearningrn replied to sk8inghunny's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So far I think A/P is harder.. I find Micro to be more engaging, especially the labs. My teacher is awesome though, and I'm sure that makes all the difference. I LOVE Micro actually- it's fun.

    Pre-nursing student confused about planning Fall 2011 Schedule

    lifelearningrn replied to futurern96's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Anatomy and Physiology 1 was a prerequisite for Micro at my school- so I'd probably take them together (they compliment each other) and take Micro with other gen eds the next

    Heading Back to School -- Hitting a Brick Wall

    lifelearningrn replied to funky917's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wouldn't consider this a brick wall at all. The only think you're not qualifying for is grants (free money), right? The government doesn't like to give free money for multiple degrees which I think...

    Should smokers be admitted into the nursing program?

    lifelearningrn replied to Elly Aker's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think your basis for persuasion is weak, and that you should choose another topic. Using the arguments that something is 'hypocritical' in my opinion isn't overly convincing since hypocrisy exists...

    UTMB Fall 2011 Applicants

    lifelearningrn replied to chaos0058's topic in Texas Nursing

    I have a confession- I dropped my chem class this semester thus disqualifying myself from the running for fall. If I get an interview (which I don't think I will) I'll be declining and hopefully it'll...

    lifelearningrn replied to hildah's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Did they tell you either college algebra or stats? If so-I say stats all the way. If not- you need to find out exactly what they are looking

    Compassion or reality for obese patients?

    lifelearningrn replied to stefanyjoy's topic in General Nursing

    No- I know the answer- If it were their child- the antifat folks would put their kids on a diet, withhold sweets and fatty foods, and make sure they exercise. If it were a family member- they'll...
