    Many Questions

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

    You may be put off by the name of this university.. but I'm virtually positive this is a co-ed school, in spite of the name. Texas Woman's University in Denton, TX. You go in as a nursing major and...

    Life is overwhelming, especially at your age. You WILL get this stuff.. promise! How many weeks are there in a month- 4 how many months are there in a year-12 how many weeks are there in a year-52...

    Got into nursing school! Now what?

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

    I think as long as the amount of benzos in your system doesn't exceed the dosage you're prescribed, you should be fine. As far as the anti-depressants, I'm curious if they test for those too. It seems...

    Get the question right and lose a point!!

    lifelearningrn replied to cutenurse2b_1's topic in General Students

    They threw out the question... therefore the point never existed. You didn't actually lose a point and the ones who got it wrong didn't really gain a point. They evened the playing field. If you had...

    lifelearningrn replied to lifelearningrn's topic in General Students

    Nursing Students- Were Any of You "B" Students- and Still Got Accepted?

    lifelearningrn replied to lifelearningrn's topic in General Students

    I was honestly hoping to hear from some people who's GPA's were so perfect get in. I'm not a total idiot, I know some people may inflate their grades... but I'd hope most people would be

    A&P 1 - how to study Histology?

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

    This website is really good for learning the terms and different stops on each bone. Bone Labeling Exercises. Sent me an email and I'll send you that tissue

    Patients that are not allowed narcotics

    lifelearningrn replied to Jo West's topic in Emergency

    No- I've never worked in the ER.. but I imagine if someone was in serious pain and the doc was closed they'd make their way there. I don't know much about prescription pain meds other than I refused...

    Patients that are not allowed narcotics

    lifelearningrn replied to Jo West's topic in Emergency

    So is everyone coming into the ER complaining of pain automatically suspected of drug seeking behavior? Is it possible any of these people have legit pain control issues and just need help? I guess I...

    Why aren't pt phones & TV free?

    lifelearningrn replied to Florence NightinFAIL's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, I think they should find a way to incorporate it into the bill and make it available immediately. How horrible it must be for people to lay there with no distraction or

    Is it just me??

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

    Don't beat yourself up. YOU were a patient too in this situation.. The staff nurse was responsible for you both. You'll be a fine nurse.

    A&P 1 - how to study Histology?

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

    I found memorizing the bones soooo much more difficult than the histology. Get started on that now. Start with the skull and work your way down! There is no way you can go wrong with studying the...

    Intro to Soiology or Cultural Anthro?

    lifelearningrn replied to weluv3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would think an academic adviser would be able to answer those questions. I mean, if it were up to the student wouldn't they always say, "Hey, this will work!".

    DIfferences Between Nursing Majors & Pre Nursing

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

    "nursing major" or "prenursing major" both lead to the same place I think, and that is nursing school. TWU requires you apply to them as a 'nursing major'.. all 'prenursing' classes are done the first...

    How do I nicely say "no"?

    lifelearningrn replied to SaraSmile3's topic in General Students

    "No" is a hard word for me too.. but in this situation, you need to look out only for yourself. You're right.. you're not at all responsible for her child care arrangements. I agree with the...

    Intro to Soiology or Cultural Anthro?

    lifelearningrn replied to weluv3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Only your school can tell you that. I mean, usually intro classes can be replaced by 'general' classes like 'general sociology' can substitute for an 'intro' class.. but I don't know the difference...

    Please don't judge me...I need advice please.

    lifelearningrn replied to layla100's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How long ago did you take the 3 A&Ps you failed? Under Academic Fresh Start (if your state offers this) your grades 10 years or older can be erased, as in they will not be counted against you in...

    If I won't get an A, should I drop the class?

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

    If your school does differentiate between B, B+ or B-.. a low B or high B won't matter. If you ace the rest, I don't think dropping will be that huge a deal. Some schools consider a "W" a first...

    I have a few questions for all of you new grads.. 1. When did you graduate? 2. Do you have a BSN or ADN? 3. Are you still looking for work? 4. If not, how long did it take you to find a job? 5. If you...

    Do you guys see a lot of people saying they are nursing students....

    Does Upper Management Even Have a Clue?

    lifelearningrn replied to Teamlangston's topic in Emergency

    Don't 'rookies' in a lot of fields get treated different? I mean, I guess the babysitting comment really can come down to the spirit in which it was made. I can see how someone could be using the term...
