  1. What the heck?

    havehope replied to __patiently_waiting's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For my A&P 2 class the Lab part was self taught. Which was new to me too. My personal opinion, I didn't like it. I paid $500 (out of pocket) for this class and didn't even get a teacher for half...

  2. Popular Drugs

    havehope posted a topic in Medical-Surgical

    Hi everyone, I work as a CNA on a Medical-Surgical floor and as a nurse what drugs do you see most often? I want become knowledgable with the drugs that are most often used, as I will be going to...

  3. Getting ahead?

    havehope replied to Taryn123's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I would talk to HR and the supervisor also. Just tell them that due to school you would like to be put on days. If they won't let you, I would be looking elsewhere to work and make sure they know...

  4. Difficult CNA's?

    havehope replied to RN&mom's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Well, I am a CNA on a medical-surgical floor and I understand what you mean. There are some like myself that run their butts off and then there are some that hide and could care less about the...

  5. Getting Married in School?

    havehope replied to teletech111's topic in General Students

    I agree! I got engaged and will not be getting married for two years (until school it over). Like you said, it is nice to be able to plan a wedding and not be in a time crunch while in school on top...

  6. Getting Married in School?

    havehope replied to teletech111's topic in General Students

    I have decided to wait to get married until I get out of nursing school. One of the main reasons is that I wouldn't receive any financial aid based on his income. I feel that isn't fair, because I am...

  7. The Dreaded Wait.

    havehope replied to sjg8412's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  8. Can someone help? Just took CNA/STNA exam...

    havehope replied to futuresctRN's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Here where I live you are allowed to miss a certain number of steps. However, if one of those steps were in bold you had to say/do it, if not you automatically failed. Good

  9. Is it crucial to take A&P I and II back to back??

    havehope replied to 7237dallas's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The only thing I would be worried about is the time limit. For example, the college I am applying to the science courses cannot be older than 5 years. So, as long as you get them done in the time...

  10. How do you accept the fact you might not get in?

    havehope replied to Idiosyncratic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    dmk3- Thanks!! I'm not trying to persuade you but, if you love your job AND would be taking a pay cut I would re think it. I, too am paying out of pocket as of right now…it sucks. Wish the best to...

  11. How do you accept the fact you might not get in?

    havehope replied to Idiosyncratic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    meep- I love that quote of Will Smith! So very true and motivating. However, I did not get in the first time around (I applied even though I had one pre req to do). Of course, there were more people...

  12. Thoughts on Microbiology

    havehope posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have taken A&P 2 this summer (a 5 week summer course) although, it is a lot of information I loved being able to have it done and out of the way in five weeks. So, for those that have taken...

  13. I just have to know NOW! Really?

    havehope replied to nurseprnRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    meanmaryjean, your right! I talked to a seasoned nurse awhile back and she said when she took the NCLEX the "Kiss" band was practicing upstairs and they were taking THE test down stairs. Man, has...

  14. Horrible time management... Any advice?

    havehope replied to TheNoviceNurse16's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Time management is so important in health care. For me, I write out a check list to keep me on time. Of course, you will have days where it's too busy to go by exactly what I have. It's been a...

  15. Applying for a Nursing school

    havehope replied to Renia190's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    All schools are different so talk to you advisor as someone above me said. None of the schools around me offer both a BSN program and a ADN program, that's

  16. I want my life back!

    havehope replied to springchick1's topic in General Students

    You aren't the only one. We are all in this together! :-) After all, when/if we are/become the patient hopefully we get a nurse that did study all the time and knows what he/she is

  17. preparing for summer anatomy course... :/

    havehope replied to Hopeful0630's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking A&P 2 now in a 5 week course. As an analogy it is like a standing in front of a full blown fire hydrate. You cannot fall behind and have to stay on track. I get ahead by reading and...

  18. Keys to Studying Better Using Your Visual, Auditory or Kinesthetic Talents

    havehope replied to ArrowRN's topic in General Students

    This is good stuff! Thank you! The second link is especially important. You don't realize how important it is to learn your learning style until your struggling in a class (an important one- A&P)...

  19. What do you wear under scrubs?

    havehope replied to granolatrees's topic in General Students

    I, too get very hot easily. That being said I wear tank tops under my scrubs. If your very hot natured I also recommend the Wonder Wink scrubs. They have a collection that is very silky and looks...

  20. Pregnant CNA working night shift

    havehope replied to TrinaCNA's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    From my personal experience night shift is by no way easier than day shift, especially if you are working in a hospital setting. I also wouldn't do night shift while pregnant, just my opinion. If you...

  21. Laptop or paper/pen notes in class?

    havehope replied to Lollipops's topic in General Students

    Although a laptop is faster for me, I prefer paper/pen. I tend to get distracted using a computer. It's interesting to see how we are all very different and do things/learn things

  23. Single mother, no support, nursing school

    havehope replied to almostnurse25's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't have kids nor am I older and wiser like you and the above poster. However, if I were you I would live with your parents until you get out of school. 1.) When your studying your butt off,...

  24. Is it right to pursue nursing if the school is 2 hrs away from husband & kids?

    havehope replied to fbanh's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Of course, we all have different opinions and I'm not sure if anyone has given the opinion i'm about to give because I quit reading after you said that your husband is unsupportive of you. It would be...

  25. Just got fired -

    havehope replied to blondebabe0625's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Sounds like you need to go higher than the person in charge of the facility. I'd address this with the state that comes to inspect the nursing home once a year. Not wearing gloves would be dangerous...
