  1. Microbiology

    szeles23 replied to JonB04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For me micro was more difficult than a&p when you have to remember every step of metabolism and fermentation processes. And also identifying slides by their scientific names, slides of ameobas and...

  2. Nursing School has it all wrong.

    szeles23 replied to roscopeeco's topic in General Students

    Maybe the reason people are going to P.A. school is because of the aging baby boomer population and the shortage of family practice physicians. I myself am considering PA school but am also...

  3. Fall 2011 students, what do you have so far?

    szeles23 replied to Sugar-Phosphate's topic in General Students

    Oh I meant to say if anyone needs a littman III cardiology stethoscope, they're on sale at allheart.com right now. I think for $130 and engraving is only $10 or something like that. I need to order...

  4. Not immune to mmr

    szeles23 replied to Band's topic in General Students

    My school does it like this. If your titer comes back negative, i.e. not immune, they make you re-vaccinate (I'm not sure how long between doses mmr is) and then after a certain protocol of time they...

    szeles23 replied to RedChair's topic in General Students

    szeles23 replied to servealoha's topic in General Nursing

    when I took it, I was very sleep deprived and thought I had done horrible but apparently didn't do too bad. I just got the review book from barnes and noble and did practice test after practice test...

  16. Why is home health considered an "easier" area of nursing, suitable for beginners?

    szeles23 replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    I think home health is definitely a harder area than a new grad should be in. I'm not a nurse yet but my grandmother was with two different hospice companies before she passed. The RNs essentially had...

  17. immunization requirements

    szeles23 replied to RunnerRN2015's topic in General Nursing

    You will need a measles, mumps, and rubella titer (MMR) along with a varicella titer (chicken pox). Basically how it works is they take a sample of blood and look for a certain antibody. If the...

  18. Nursing students required to have health insurance?

    szeles23 replied to amanda081106's topic in General Students

    My school requires that you maintain insurance the whole time throughout the program. I think this is so you have access to a doctor or hospital if you are sick or have an underlying condition. They...

  19. Why do I need a titer and what's its purpose...?

    szeles23 replied to R_Clemens's topic in General Nursing

    The testing is done to protect you and the pts. Consider someone who has cancer or has just had an organ transplant, their immune system is not as strong and is suppressed. A tetorifice booster you...

  20. Why do I need a titer and what's its purpose...?

    szeles23 replied to R_Clemens's topic in General Nursing

    My school requires titers regardless if you have been immunized or not. If you haven't been immunized you have to get the doses on schedule and then re titer about a month later. They won't accept...

  23. Singled out nursing student

    szeles23 replied to Blacksheep80's topic in General Students

    Never ever give up! Do not let them get you down. Are there any other male students in your class? Try becoming study buddies with them if there are any. I know nursing classes are primarily filled...

  25. Why does anyone go into nursing?

    szeles23 replied to guineapiglover2011's topic in General Students

    My heart goes out to you! I could not even bear to imagine that. I only experienced the passing of an older relative, my grandmother. I can only hope to be half as competent and caring as the...
