  1. Lab Skeletons/ "fishbone"

    IndyElmer replied to Vespertinas's topic in General Nursing

    There are other threads on this topic that might be helpful -- or may just muddy the water more. https://allnurses.com/lab-values-worksheet-t89608/ https://allnurses.com/fish-scales-t162234/ I also...

  2. Nurse fanny packs

    IndyElmer replied to Sassybottom's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    It doesn't seem like it's possible to sanitize everything that one might carry in their pockets either (e.g. small reference books, extra alcohol wipes packets and so on) so that even though you...

  3. Mnemonics and Memory Aids

    IndyElmer replied to VickyRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I learned Never Let Monkeys Eat Bananas (as that's the order of most numerous to least numerous WBC type) but I always thought it was weird since monkeys are so closely associated with eating bananas....

  4. Mnemonics and Memory Aids

    IndyElmer replied to VickyRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Lab values (esp. electrolytes) IMAGERY I stuck with the "vacation" theme that I have seen in other mnemonics and made my vacation in California where they have ocean, surfers, surfboards, sea birds,...

  5. Remembering Lab Values!

    IndyElmer replied to jellybeany's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I agree that knowing the ranges will be important. I use the mnemonic to help me remember whether I should be thinking of a range around 100, 20, 5 or whatever, but I do actually know the ranges too....

  6. Oakland University Accelerated program Fall 2012

    IndyElmer replied to scorpion1102's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I think if you search FB for "Oakland University Nursing" you'll be able to find the group (since we're not allowed to have a direct link to the group on

  7. Remembering Lab Values!

    IndyElmer replied to jellybeany's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I didn't have much luck with the previously posted mnemonic because it didn't create enough of a "picture" for me, but I liked the idea of having something that could help me peg each factor to at...

  8. Oakland University Accelerated program Fall 2012

    IndyElmer replied to scorpion1102's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I'm completing pharm and patho this term. I'd be happy to send you a PM on FB with my thoughts. Just repost your question on the Fall 2012 cohort group page and I'll send you a

  12. Oakland University ASD-BSN July 2011 Interview

    IndyElmer replied to RavenA.'s topic in Michigan Nursing

    I apologize for the slightly off-topic post. I'm wondering if any of you have seen any threads on the courses at OU -- pre-reqs or the actual ABSN program. One of my friends is starting at Amherst...

  13. Chance of getting accepted at Wayne State university accelerated bsn program

    IndyElmer replied to doleya's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I can't comment on the specific programs you mentioned, but the programs with which I am most familiar typically have a "minimum GPA" of 2.7 to APPLY but often have a...

  14. IUPUI Summer or Fall 2011 - Accelerated BSN

    IndyElmer posted a topic in Indiana Nursing

    I'm planning to apply at IUPUI for admission to the accelerated BSN program in 2011 (Fall or possibly Summer). This fall (2010) I'm retaking anatomy, physiology AND microbiology because I last took...

  15. IUPUI Summer or Fall 2011 - Accelerated BSN

    IndyElmer replied to IndyElmer's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I'm under the impression that the new grade substitutes for the old grade. I got A's the first time and the second time, so it didn't matter as much for me. But, my GPA was being dragged down by two...

  16. IUPUI (& other) Accelerated BSN (programs) Spring 2010

    IndyElmer replied to anomaly's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Yes, I believe you are OK. I am taking my stats class during my last semester of pre-reqs. I am pretty sure the advisor realized that when we were discussing my last two terms and she didn't raise any...

  17. IUPUI Summer or Fall 2011 - Accelerated BSN

    IndyElmer replied to IndyElmer's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Hi Christine, I would have gotten back to you sooner, but for some reason, I didn't get a notice that you had replied to this thread. Just got a notice about folks replying to it today and popped in...

  18. IUPUI (& other) Accelerated BSN (programs) Spring 2010

    IndyElmer replied to anomaly's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I know this question was asked a long time ago, but in case anyone is just trolling through the old discussions about IUPUI, I thought I'd answer the above question. It's my understanding that you...

  19. HESI ENTRANCE EXAM

    IndyElmer replied to fmac88's topic in Washington Nursing

    You will need to check with each university/college to see what their requirement is. One of the colleges where I am applying requires that I must take the test on their campus. Scores from other...
