  1. Nursing Admission Essay, help please!

    plasmatix replied to lilac6's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I sent you a PM with some edits meant to clarify certain statements. They are suggestions, NOT definites. You should use what you feel good about. After all, it's supposed to be your personal...

  2. charting assignment help - cholecystectomy

    plasmatix replied to J-NO's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    a keen observation and some cautionary advice, wrapped in a lovely quote. alas, it's a message overlooked by increasing numbers of today's "communicators", who seem hell-bent on intentionally...

  3. charting assignment help - cholecystectomy

    plasmatix replied to J-NO's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    J-NO, I'm not sure, but I think that you may have missed half of GrnTea's message/suggestion. Did you see the part about checking your lab text for info on focused assessments? I can certainly...

  4. Pre-requisite question

    plasmatix replied to Weezy24's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Weezy, IMHO it won't be a waste of time. However, aside from my opinion, there's the question of whether you plan to attend a BSN program, either for your first nursing degree, or an RN-to-BSN in the...

  5. Tired of hearing about the kids.

    plasmatix replied to TECHTORNHOPEFULLY's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    33762fl, i'm old enough to have witnessed the feminist movement of the 60s-70s, and can fully recall just how limited the options were for women in the pursuit of an education and a career prior to...

  6. For Those Considering A Career In Nursing

    plasmatix replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Career

    Fabulous post! I very much appreciate the considerable amount of thought and time that I know you put into it. Unfortunately, the people we need to heed this are the very ones whose heads it will fly...

  7. nursing schools without accreditation

    plasmatix replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    John F. Kennedy, Jr. did not fail the NYS bar exam ten times. He didn't even fail the bar "something like" ten times. He did, however, take the bar exam 4 times in a 15-month period. He graduated...

  8. "Smart Is The New Rich" Graduate Nurses Cannot Find Work

    plasmatix replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in General Nursing

    Call my ex. I can't take credit for laughs that his "assets" get me. Although I wish that I was still in a position to take his

  9. "Smart Is The New Rich" Graduate Nurses Cannot Find Work

    plasmatix replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in General Nursing

    Not me. I've heard a LOT of those in my time. At least 70 or 80 from my ex-husband, alone. I like the idea that I've been able to add to his

  10. "Smart Is The New Rich" Graduate Nurses Cannot Find Work

    plasmatix replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in General Nursing

    My understanding is that National Geographic is neck-in-neck with Vogue for a Valentine's Day pictorial, Paco. Subjects of the article are holding out for the cover. Personally, I don't understand...

  11. "Smart Is The New Rich" Graduate Nurses Cannot Find Work

    plasmatix replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in General Nursing

    Altra, I agree totally with your sentiments, and I'm very happy to see that people are noticing this trend. However, it's getting increasingly difficult to identify "legitimate" journalism. Almost...

  12. Waiting to get in

    plasmatix replied to CupcakeMonster's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sarah, I think you have a great start on being a fine nurse. I'm not referring to your grades, but to your ability to think ahead and to use your time effectively. That's a quality that is much more...

  13. 3.8 GPA good for admission??

    plasmatix replied to china.graves's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your refs sound good; I'd choose a professor from your current school, over the family friend. FMU will be interested in things about you that aren't always easy to tell from GPA alone, such as your...

  14. Retake Micro and A&P 2

    plasmatix replied to KAN44's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can't say that this is the case with your friends, but I hear about an awful lot of students who have near-perfect GPAs, 'A's in all sciences, in the 99th percentile on the TEAS....and they're...

  15. Transfer to a BSN program or finish bachelor?

    plasmatix replied to mixie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can't make it quite that easy, but I can make it a little less labor-intensive. Go to the website of the American Association of Colleges of Nursing; The Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education...

  16. Biology is required for BSN?

    plasmatix replied to Skylarslaughter's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I may be missing something, but I didn't see SCIT 1407 (Applied Human Anatomy & Physiology I) as being a pre-req for Intro/General Biology. It's listed, along with BIOL 1406 (Introductory Biology...

  17. Getting blood on your hands

    plasmatix replied to ribeyesteak's topic in General Nursing

    Anyone that's been in nursing/patient care for a few years has seen everything, ribeye, and you'll have to try a lot harder for laughs. On the serious side, have you talked to a physician about this?...

  18. Getting blood on your hands

    plasmatix replied to ribeyesteak's topic in General Nursing

    Ha! I just saw the candy strippers thing, too, and wondered if it was one of the things that qualifies a facility as one of those much-touted "Centers of Excellence"! Wouldn't put any gimmick past...

  19. Im 24 and I want to be a nurse badly but my age discourages me!

    plasmatix replied to M.C.P's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There's one problem with your post, MFRN. It's your inclusion of the last word, "right" and the question mark. Stop worrying about what OTHER people think of your accomplishments. I'm no spring...

  20. Do you think im crazy for my nurse aspiration?

    plasmatix replied to nursewannabe2013's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Apparently I have offended some of the more delicate sensibilities here in the section for student- & school-related posts. I am a bit more accustomed to the rough-and-tumble atmosphere of...

  21. Soooo I have to retake biology!?!?

    plasmatix replied to carlad22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    From where is the requirement being issued? Is it (1) a prerequisite for taking OTHER prerequisites, such as Anatomy & Physiology, or Microbiology? Or is it (2) an academic requirement of the...

  22. How hard is sociology ?

    plasmatix replied to gardenfan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Gardenfan, the "difficulty" of the sociology course isn't the only thing you should consider here. You also need to consider that You're going back to school (to college this time) for the first time...

  23. Do you think im crazy for my nurse aspiration?

    plasmatix replied to nursewannabe2013's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think your mental health status is a factor in this equation. Nor is your "dream to be a nurse", although I confess to wondering what you were "following" while accumulating $40,000 in...

  24. Associates degree

    plasmatix replied to Toyodax's topic in First Year After Licensure

    IVanillax, happyloser is right: the two-year Associates Degree is a myth. While it is true that the registered nursing programs that offer an ADN are typically 4 semesters (2 academic years), you...

  25. Is it hard to get a job with an Associates degree in Nursing?

    plasmatix replied to bailee4's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I concur with your assessment, but will further opine that Donster is awesome-er for having actually read (and comprehended) the Terms of Service. By the way, Donster, thanks for posting that...
