  1. Concerns about admissions

    Thank you for sharing! It gives me hope as well :) Praying you continue to do
  2. A&P Help

    Really, reviewing any of it will help, but because you'll probably be taking pathophysiology the first year, learning the what should be normal about the body will be good to review before learning...
  3. Grey's Anatomy? Scrubs too?

    I enjoy the show. I wear their scrubs. I don't wear their scrubs because of the show, but I wear them because they are soooooooo comfortable, and aren't flashly like koi or other brands. Alas, when I...
  4. What class to take with Chemistry?

    Chemistry is so easy. Honestly, it's a peace of cake. You should be able to get an A in chemistry with your hands tied behind your
  5. Uplifting video about a pre-nursing student.

    I really enjoyed that. It makes me realize again why I want to do this. I want to be a neonatal nurse too. At the very least in
  6. How Many Classes?

    I started midyear through, so I couldn't apply the year I started, so I got lots out of the way, and I have 4 total classes left I need to take that are prerequisite. I'm taking another 2 that are...
  7. What class to take with Chemistry?

    Take what you need most. If you need both, do what you feel most prepared for at the moment. I took an easier class set with my first term of anatomy this autumn because I wanted to get a good heading...
  8. Concerns about admissions

    Thank you, Penny! I have no idea if I can. I know we will have an essay, and I may include overcoming and learning-from my past. Here, nursing students don't get interviews or long explanations for...
  9. Seriously. I don't know any gay male nurses. All are straight as an
  10. It's tough to excuse wearing long-sleeve shirts if they reach the wrist due to passing pathogens from patient to patient. Some nurses may even have incontinent patients who are needing to be cleaned...
  11. Get some ink jackets. Search google for underarmor looking sleeves specially made for tattoos. I will probably have to cover mine until I can remove
  12. Doctors disrespect Male nurses.

    This ^ And I believe as far as how competitive it is to get into nursing school, including the median GPA being ~3.8 for entering nursing students in my area, that I would say nurses getting in now...
  13. Guys, do you take this personally?

    I wouldn't take it personally. I think it's great when men and women can understand the professional aspect of the nursing position. Frankly, male OB/GYNs are very prevolent, and women usually could...
  14. Fall 2012 Microbiology Students -- STAND UP!

    Licking a blood agar plate! BLECK! You should try a MSA with Staphylococcus aureus on
  15. AP1, any tips?

    I agree with Deris. I've been in lab on at least two of my days off to learn things like bones and bone markings. It's helped me so much! I don't know if I would be getting an A without doing extra...
  16. Concerns about admissions

    I'm not sure yet. I will find out soon. I do know the schools in Oregon work off of a point system, points for certain grades in prerequisite classes (major points for an A in anatomy), points for...
  17. Can a Nurse have a Tattoo???

    I hate to say it, but I will probably get mine removed. I have a half sleeve that goes to the superior-most part of my olecranon space. I have another, peony flower, on my upper left forearm. I hate...
  18. Fall 2012 Microbiology Students -- STAND UP!

    I did microbiology last spring. I got an 89%! I was going crazy to think I was one percent off from an A. Oh well. More points for gaining admission in the bag I
  19. Concerns about admissions

    Thank you! Thank you! Thank you, for your encouragement. Prayer is much appreciated. God bless and
  20. Concerns about admissions

    You are probably the most positive (yet honest) person I've met. I thank you for that. I don't find many caring people anymore. I'm applying to associate and bachelor programs, though I will...
  21. I am currently a student (pre-nursing). I am a father, in my early twenties. Today, I finalized my status for volunteering at my church's daycare for during service. I was told that I would not be...
  22. Nursing Dress Code

    Buy those shoes that have tiny wheels that pop out. They're very
  23. A Rough Nursing Shift...

    I actually chuckled out loud to myself! I'm glad I have a lot of stamina as a runner! This is why I'm going to get a PhD and teach nursing students when I get
  24. The Mockery of Nursing

    Interesting enough, maybe these people are terribly sincere and wish to better themselves. Do not be so quick to judge, when you have faults as well. My mother was terribly dyslexic, and she got her...
  25. NPs practicing as DRs

    I do know that I will be getting a degree as an advanced practitioner. I know I eventually want to get my PhD and teach other nurses, but I don't think I'll get my "DNP." If I did, due to very serious...
