  1. A few quick questions from a nervous newbie!

    MInurse.st replied to Kaychell's topic in General Students

    Congrats on starting NS, I start Monday also! I did buy the Classic II, and while can't imagine there would be a big difference between that and the lightweight, I don't have a lot of experience w/...

  2. Public Health and birth control

    MInurse.st replied to Beebop25's topic in General Nursing

    It does prevent fertilization in the sense that it prevents ovulation (as long as the woman has not yet ovulated). Please, please, please, inform yourself if you're going to discuss the

  3. looking back, are there courses that you thought were not necessary?

    MInurse.st replied to nowIamRN's topic in General Nursing

    The general consensus in this, and other, threads on this site seems to be that anything besides the hard sciences is a "fluff" course. Many don't seem interested - or even show contempt towards -...

    MInurse.st replied to girlgirl4's topic in General Students

  5. So many mixed feelings... how about you?

    MInurse.st replied to gpatry's topic in General Students

    I start next week. I was sooo excited when I found out I got in (my first choice, the only school I applied to, etc.).. But at this point, I'm more terrified than anything. I'm wondering why not more...

  6. can you be burned out before you finish nursing school?

    MInurse.st replied to CeilingCat's topic in General Students

    I met a nurse (friend of a friend) who loves, loves, LOVES nursing (she's been at it almost 20 years). She gushes about her work, her co-workers, her patients. But don't ask her about nursing school....

  7. Math Question

    MInurse.st replied to Pmusicinhamony's topic in General Students

    Well, there's still the possibility of error, but I agree that I would feel more comfortable about the accuracy of my answer if I used a calculator, despite being competent at figuring it out without...

  8. Math Question

    MInurse.st replied to Pmusicinhamony's topic in General Students

    You could always email one of your instructors and ask.. or ask a current or previous student? My school allows calculators. Like a previous poster said, the point is that you understand what's being...

  11. Interracial marriage and physiology..this is for a paper

    MInurse.st replied to nvsmom's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe you're having trouble because the "physiology" of interracial marriage..... Is the same as the physiology of any marriage? I don't really understand the

  12. I'm sure this has been said.. MA's calling themselves Nurses

    MInurse.st replied to AprilN's topic in General Nursing

    Seriously? Many of my professors (first degree) identified themselves as Dr. _____. This is because they had PhDs, and, therefore, were doctors. They are not impersonating physicians, they are...

  14. Working while in ABSN

    MInurse.st replied to Genu9ine's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Most people will advise you against working during an ABSN program. I agree, that if you don't have to, it may be best to just focus on the program. My ABSN program also "strongly recommends" that we...

  15. Private School or Community College?! Please Help

    MInurse.st replied to swtcaligurl's topic in General Students

    Plenty? You're gonna need to tell me where you've been looking, cause I thought things were pretty bleak here. Or maybe that's just every other industry

  16. Students- I need your input please

    MInurse.st replied to JDougRN's topic in General Students

    Remember what is was like to be a student. Have high expectations, but be positive and encouraging. Make your students believe that you want them to succeed, that you really are pulling for

  19. Private School or Community College?! Please Help

    MInurse.st replied to swtcaligurl's topic in General Students

    I would save the money and go to the community college. You could take any non-nursing classes you need while waiting, and maybe by the time you graduate they will be hiring new grads

  20. Which class was harder for you?

    MInurse.st replied to johnny depp23's topic in General Students

    I've heard about the horrors of organic chem as well, but I don't think nursing programs usually require it (correct me if I'm wrong). I did have to take organic biochem though, and it was definitely...

  21. more than nursing professionals wearing scrubs

    MInurse.st replied to wearingmanyhats's topic in General Nursing

    There's kiosk in the middle of the mall where 2-3 people offer massages in massage chairs. They wear scrubs. They're even light blue, similar to those worn by the residents at the local

  22. I'm sure this has been said.. MA's calling themselves Nurses

    MInurse.st replied to AprilN's topic in General Nursing

    I currently work in a clinic as a "Health Care Assistant." I perform all duties that an MA does, but I never went to school to be an MA (trained on the job). So I don't call myself a certified...

  23. Science classes without taking any math in over 10 years, help?

    MInurse.st replied to jwannab's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think taking any of those science classes without math first is completely reasonable. I don't remember using any math in A&P or micro. I didn't take basic chemistry in college, but I took...

  24. I'm Hard to Fit--Looking for Cute Scrubs

    MInurse.st replied to Despareux's topic in General Nursing

    Life Uniform, where I got them, only had juniors fit. But I thought I saw some online that weren't, or at least they didn't specify that they

  25. Should I Take the Chance/Sacrifice?

    MInurse.st replied to HopeItWorksDNP's topic in General Nursing

    I would apply to the program nearby and the ones 2-4 hrs away. If I got into a program further away, that started sooner, I would go. Your partner says they support whatever decision, and it sounds...
