   carrot_thief replied to Soon2BEaRN's topic in General Nursing

   I know exactly how you feel, I could have written this exact same post. I just graduated from high school and I start the biology and chemistry prerequisites for the nursing program on Monday. I got my Chemistry book the other day and I am already ...

   I am taking Chem 104, basic chemistry in the fall too. I start September 26th. Everyone has told me it's a hard class....I hope I can keep up.

3. what's a nursing student's schedule like?

   carrot_thief replied to carrot_thief's topic in General Students

   Haha! That's funny, because I was asking about the schedule because I work at an ice cream store as a cake decorator and I was trying to think about how I'm going to work my schedule around nursing school in a few years. I'm pretty lucky, because a...

   Hi there..I am starting prerequisites this summer for nursing school, but I have no idea what to expect once I get in. I'm trying for an ADN program...how many days will I probably be in clinicals, how long are most clinicals....when do you have clas...

   carrot_thief posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   :balloons: :) I'm so happy...I just got a letter from the Community College informing me of my acceptance to the CNA program for summer term. I have been waiting to hear from them for months, and they only accept ten people. I got more nervous whe...

6. Kind of gross...but fever blisters

   carrot_thief replied to sherichance's topic in General Nursing

   If you have cold sores, Abreva definitely works. But if what you're describing is canker sores, inside your mouth, then try changing your toothpaste and eating less acidic foods. I get them about once every two weeks and they are a pain. I've heard t...

7. Can new grads get a 7a-3p shift?

   carrot_thief replied to akissbytheseine's topic in General Nursing

   First off, I admit I'm not a nurse. I am starting pre nursing classes in the next few months. However, the above post by subee just seems totally rude and unnecessary. "Princess alert"? Why would this woman be a "princess" for wanting to research...

8. nursing program = biology + chemistry ??

   carrot_thief replied to elleon's topic in General Nursing

   [there isn't really written homework, its more like read 200 pages on heart disorders and take a test. pathophysiology is basically studying the body and different disease processes. like you do a section on different liver diseases, the causes, the ...

9. nursing program = biology + chemistry ??

   carrot_thief replied to elleon's topic in General Nursing

   I am planning on starting pre-reqs for the nursing program this summer, but I would like to know more in depth information about the pathophysiology part. If the courses are supposedly heavy in that subject...what exactly IS it? Can someone give me...

10. Nurses BLOOPERS!

    carrot_thief replied to RNview's topic in General Nursing

    Triage_RN34, just curious...what Outdoor School did you work for? I'm a senior in high school and I go to Camp Namanu as a student leader every spring and fall.

11. College won't let me apply to CNA program, age restriction? Please help..I'm so upset

    carrot_thief replied to carrot_thief's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for all the help, I really appreciate it. I will definitely check out the Red Cross, and some more nursing homes. I'm going to start some prerequisites this summer as well. I'm kind of confused now though...if you can't become a CNA or even...

    carrot_thief posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi...today I went to the community college's advising center to ask about the CNA program. I've had my heart set on doing this for quite a while, and I'm graduating this year. The problem is, I skipped a grade so I'll just be turning 17 in March, a...

13. Graphic Design vs. Nursing?

    carrot_thief replied to carrot_thief's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for all of your advice, I've decided that nursing seems like the best choice and I'm going to get a head start on prerequisites during my senior year starting in a few months...I'm excited:)

14. Graphic Design vs. Nursing?

    carrot_thief replied to carrot_thief's topic in General Nursing

    Also, I have another nursing related question. Eventually, if I want to work with newborns, but not necessarily "high risk" newborns, what area would that be? Maternity, neonatal? I feel sort of clueless.
