  1. CPR Renewal in Boise/Meridian

    NewSN13 replied to IrishMama's topic in General Nursing

    I did my CPR course through Guardian College (on Fairview between Eagle and Locust Grove). I don't think that they seperated out the renewals from the first timers but it was scheduled as a four hour...

  2. IM injections, to aspirate or not?

    NewSN13 replied to Pia Mater's topic in General Students

    We were taught to aspirate, also, but when I did a flu clinic, the nurses there told us it wasn't necessary. The CDC's recommendation on flu shots: Because there are no large blood vessels in the...

  3. Taking A&P in spring ~ any advice?

    NewSN13 replied to dkmamato3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My best advice is to avoid reading or listening to "OMG, A&P is so hard!!!" type of threads or conversations! It's not the easy class I have ever taken but there are plenty of people who do well...

  4. Clinical simulation fears

    NewSN13 replied to mamataeangel's topic in General Students

    We have 3 cameras and microphones recording our every move! I usually get so immersed in what I'm doing that after a minute or two, I forget that my patient is a mannequin. It always feels a bit...

  5. Not my day

    NewSN13 replied to Thujone's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    But nursing isn't like working for other companies. If you're working on a floor with patients, you're taking over someone else duties and until you show up, they can't leave. I doubt they care...

  6. Which of the nursing pre-reqs did you find the most difficult?

    NewSN13 replied to guevarrar's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I thought general chem was pretty straightfoward and easy. For the most part, if you understand a few basic rules, it all falls into place. Once we got into organic and biochem, I was

  7. The oh-so-common rude classmate(s)...

    NewSN13 replied to ioiiipop01's topic in General Students

    It's unfortunate that college aged people are acting so horribly but I've gotta say, who has the time or energy in nursing school to worry about seating arrangements? Our professors let us be the big...

  8. Are all Allied Health programs as competitive as nursing?

    NewSN13 replied to CourtneyLR's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    All of the health science programs at my school are pretty competitive. When I was taking pre-reqs, it seemed like pre-nursing students were dominant but the nursing program is also the biggest - 60...

  9. How to transition from pre-nursing to nursing

    NewSN13 replied to teamojonj's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I felt a certain sense of "ok, accomplished that goal," once I received my acceptance letter. But it was quickly replaced with a whole new list of things to do and goals to accomplish. I'm sure...

  10. Anatomy & Physiology...I'm NERVOUS!!

    NewSN13 replied to reesedatdude's topic in General Students

    The worst part of A&P is the belief that it's the most impossibly hard class ever! Nursing is a second degree for me and I hadn't taken anything remotely related to biology for 15 or so years...

  11. Which of these should I take in the same semester?

    NewSN13 replied to MattL's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Patho relies a lot on A&P so I would take it after you finish A&P 2. I took micro and patho together and it wasn't too bad but I don't think A&P and micro would be unmanageable,

  12. BA Holder: Repeating GeneralEd Classes

    NewSN13 replied to SecondWind1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Are you only interested in Seattle area schools? I did most of my gen ed courses 10+ years ago and it wasn't a problem. We have a handful of students from both the Portland and Seattle areas...

  13. I hate chemistry!

    NewSN13 replied to JennyNurse2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I loved http://www.khanacademy.org/ for

  14. Apa style report!

    NewSN13 replied to mommywithplenty's topic in General Students

    I use a program called Perrla. It's a download that costs about $35, although there is a free trial period. It formats the paper properly and has an easy, step-by-step citiation creator. You chose...

  15. Looking for current info on BSU application process and experience

    NewSN13 replied to IrishMama's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't think that patho was that bad. It's a hybrid class so there is an optional on-campus lecture component (it's recorded so you can watch at home, also) and the rest is online, including tests....

  16. Anyone else feel this way after finally starting nursing school?

    NewSN13 replied to esperanza30's topic in General Students

    I get what you're saying. I love my classmates, professors, the school, everything. But it's been so overwhelming, too. I've felt like I'm barely hanging on, trying to figure out what I need to do...

  17. Sending transcripts from 10 years ago??

    NewSN13 replied to mkm81's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I seem to recall a thread around here fairly recently in which posters had anecdotal stories about classmates getting kicked out for omitting transcripts during the application process. I can't...

  18. Class starts tomorrow, I'm nervous!

    NewSN13 replied to Iridescent Orchid's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    cccormier, I just survived my first week of nursing school. I had been freaking out about it from the day I got my acceptance letter. But it was GREAT! I got to see people that I knew from pre-reqs...

  19. Yay got my syllabi

    NewSN13 replied to IUstudent's topic in General Students

    I have my syllabi, too, and I've been filling in my calendar with assignments/tests/quizzes. It seems like so much! I hate group projects, too, but writing papers is kind of my comfort zone so that...

  20. What are your other degrees in?

    NewSN13 replied to nurse2b013's topic in General Students

    BA in Political Science. I start my BSN program on

  21. shafted

    NewSN13 replied to JonB04's topic in General Students

    Ditto. After my second labor, on my way into my second unplanned c-section, I was asked if I minded if a male student (I don't think he was a nursing student, maybe a surgical tech or possibly a...

  22. High School Senior Needs Help Deciding which Nursing School!!

    NewSN13 replied to cookie_monster's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you love everything about MSU, I say go there! Part of being young and going to college is the experience. There's no reason you can't go to a school you love, work hard to be the perfect...

  23. Is it insane to take Micro and AP2 together in one semester?

    NewSN13 replied to TexasNurse2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Are you going to be taking any other classes or just those two? I took micro along with patho, nutrition and medical terminology and it wasn't too bad. For what it's worth, I don't work and I have...

  24. choosing profs

    NewSN13 replied to JonB04's topic in General Students

    We had a choice between two schedule options and within those options, there were two classes that had multiple sections that we could chose from so we had some choice but not very much. Mostly our...

  25. A&P 1, 8 weeks, A&P 2 8 weeks

    NewSN13 replied to ames2009's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The anticipation is the worst part of it. I took both semesters of A&P last summer in back to back 5 week sessions. It wasn't
