  1. Something that has been bothering me

    Griffin123 posted a topic in MICU, SICU

    Hi folks! I'm a pre nursing student and don't pretend to know much of anything about nursing yet so I had a question I wanted to run by you all. About a year ago my mother was hospitalized for a...

  2. Something that has been bothering me

    Griffin123 replied to Griffin123's topic in MICU, SICU

    Thanks everyone! I appreciate the feedback. My gut feeling seems to have been right (and I did mention bringing this concern to the doctor but my mother objected and I didn't want to create any more...

  3. Something that has been bothering me

    Griffin123 replied to Griffin123's topic in MICU, SICU

    It wasn't the doc, it was the RN. This happened in Alabama. But I would have been equally uncomfortable even if the doc had said it. There's a huge difference between saying, "We have to take your...

  4. ADN First time I take the Teas I got a 66 :(

    Griffin123 replied to Msolana7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My adviser told me that a 70 seems to be the national average. I don't know this for a fact, however. But do remember, you can the test over. There are also numerous study guides and even online...

    Griffin123 replied to hdcsulb's topic in TEAS Exam Help

  7. here's my set of plans of taking RN route. please i really need an expert opinion

    Griffin123 replied to rocketberger's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The best piece of advice I could offer is to call the school's academic adviser and double check to see if there is an actual "wait list". There is a huge misconception at the school I am going to...

  8. don't know what to do anymore...

    Griffin123 replied to CNA1991's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You need to update your FAFSA each time you get do your taxes (it's that season right now). Also, if it's not already fixed, the Vietnam thing can be addressed as well. Once you have an updated...

  9. should I get an ADN, ABSN or MSN in Nursing?

    Griffin123 replied to Wrestler133's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  13. don't know what to do anymore...

    Griffin123 replied to CNA1991's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You will most likely not be able to claim yourself as "independent" in the eyes of the Federal Government until after the 24 year mark. However, this does not exclude you from financial aid! You...

  14. don't know what to do anymore...

    Griffin123 replied to CNA1991's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Please understand that I have said nothing so far to convey the message that you can't get financial aid. Despite that your parents can claim you on your tax returns you can still receive just enough...

  15. don't know what to do anymore...

    Griffin123 replied to CNA1991's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It is counter-intuitive but there are a number of reasons: 1) They can't assume that just because your parents have a high income they also have *disposable* income. Ever seen rich movie stars go...

    Griffin123 replied to JonJP's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wouldn't let this shake your choice of a career. Although it may be prudent to come to terms with the fact that there are going to be some unpleasent smells in nursing. In the short term, I doubt...

  19. Can you help me please?

    Griffin123 replied to rthompson's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Any school that offers a BSN should post their curriculum on their website so it should be easy to compare which will take longer. As far as nursing goes (and I say this with the disclaimer that I am...

    Griffin123 replied to Nurse2b7337's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  22. How many semesters is it going to take for you to finish pre-req's

    Griffin123 replied to kaysmom2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am taking my sweet time. I usually only take 2 classes a semester as I also have a job that keeps me pretty busy. To me, knocking out all of my prerequisites is a priority before applying because...

  23. Nursing School Waitlist

    Griffin123 replied to USANursingstudent's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You sure he didn't say 5 semesters? If you do no prerequisites before gaining admission into an Associate's degree program it will take 5 semesters. I get the feeling this is what he was talking...

  25. A&P Notes. What's your method?

    Griffin123 replied to NellieOlsen's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd say it depends on the teaching style of your instructor. In either event, simply takes notes as you normally would. If she is the type of instructor that gives you a study guide I would take...
