    Weight gain?

    rubato replied to hawksrn2014's topic in General Students

    Well, I can report that after my first semester I managed to gain 16 lbs. Never thought it could happen to me but it did. Why? Clinicals made me tired but didn't burn off any calories. And, my hubby...

    College Algebra

    rubato replied to professionalgirl80's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Take what is required for your program, then, if you have extra time, yes, college algebra will be helpful. But, more for the next degree than dosage calc. Dosage calc is basic multiplication of...

    Pre-nursing (BSN) Student admission competition?

    rubato replied to zackdesot's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would make an appointment with an adviser/counselor at the school who knows his/her stuff about the nursing program. Ask them what it takes, on average to get in. I did this and received the answer...

    Planning "My Space" for Nursing School

    rubato replied to ArrowRN's topic in General Students

    I'm through my first semester of nursing school and really struggled with my "space". During pre reqs, hubby made me an office space in our bedroom. I could close the door and work in there. But, the...

    Student nurse and Video games.

    rubato replied to jazon77's topic in General Students

    Everyone should have a little time for something: video games, children, a spouse or girlfriend/boyfriend, a job, exercise, cleaning. I just found that I only had time for school and one or sometimes,...

    working plus nursing school

    rubato replied to amber_lashelle's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A lot of people worked in my program (community college RN program). It seemed we were all divided into two groups: school and work or school and family. I only think 2 or 3 people had kids and worked...

    homosexual patients

    rubato replied to miray19's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm only a student, but my clinical experiences have shown me that homosexual patients are treated exactly the same as heterosexual

    dosage & calculations class?

    rubato replied to readyforachangenow's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you struggle a little bit at math, it wouldn't hurt. If math is easy for you, this might be remediation. In my first semester of nursing school, we got 3 one hour lectures over drug calc, and by...

    Posting your Exam Grades on Facebook

    rubato replied to Kateoh82's topic in General Students

    I don't. But, then again, I only use FB to get updates from my school. I don't mind telling someone my grade, if they ask, but if they don't, I figure they don't want to

    Advice for stethoscopes...

    rubato replied to audra211's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I also have the Littman Master Classic II and love it. I would invest in something nice now, if you can afford it. If you'll be buying it eventually, why not get the benefit

    I find it depressing...

    rubato replied to QuarterLife88's topic in General Students

    You are correct. I was making a generalization of men and that's wrong. There are plenty of sensitive guys out there, my hubby included. There just doesn't seem to be as much backbiting pettiness....

    I find it depressing...

    rubato replied to QuarterLife88's topic in General Students

    I don't think we need men to straighten us out, I just think that, sometimes, we could take a cue from how men act with each other. Have you ever seen a group of men stand around cutting another man...

    How do you think like a nurse?

    rubato replied to Born2Care4All's topic in General Students

    I do it too, but as the semester progressed I got a lot better at picking the right answer. I think a lot of it comes down to knowing, in each nursing situation, what your priorities are. When is it a...

    RN pre req GPA

    rubato replied to GivingLove's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Then, you will have to retake them. Make an appointment with your adviser and talk to him/her. Find out what to do. We don't go to your school, so we don't know what the policies are. Find out if you...

    Can I still get into nursing school with an F on my transcript?

    rubato replied to AsherBashers's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My school calculates all grades, not just the required prereqs. It would hurt you in that

    Stress Free Finals!!!

    rubato replied to rubato's topic in General Students

    No, I got a 3.0 for my 9 credit hours and that's that. It's okay though, since I've never gotten a B, my GPA should still be

    Stress Free Finals!!!

    rubato posted a topic in General Students

    I'm kind of sad, but mostly excited. I did the math today after my ATI test. In order to get an A in my class, I would need 105 points out of 100 on my final exam. So, that's knocked out due to...

    OB for male nurses.

    rubato replied to TerryNeal's topic in General Students

    I would just make sure everyone knows you want to have as many experiences as possible, and make sure you put yourself out there. I have never had any bias, as a female patient, against a male nurse...

    Smart enough?

    rubato replied to patty321's topic in General Students

    I think having self doubt could be a lot worse for your potential than having a low

    Stress Free Finals!!!

    rubato replied to rubato's topic in General Students

    Final was today. I got a 96% and ended up with an 88 in the class. I'm actually a little sad that I kicked butt so much. I mean, if I'd just done that a couple of tests ago, I could have gotten an A....

    How old were you when starting prereqs and did it discourage you?

    rubato replied to princesax11's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Both of my brothers had their bachelors by 22, masters by 23 and 24 respectively. I took the lazy route and got my personal trainer certification in 9 months and went to work. Well, going back to...

    comprehensive final fundamentals of nursing

    rubato replied to truckinusa's topic in General Students

    I'm just using all my powerpoints and notes. We have had 5 unit exams. I'm not worried about 5, because I just took it Friday. But, I'm going through all the lecture material for the first 4 units. I...

    Ati comprehensive exam

    rubato replied to consty2012's topic in General Students

    I just took mine yesterday. We had 2 practice exams this semester. I took those again and remediated all the answers, right and wrong to see what the rationale was behind each item. There are also...

    Finals week!

    rubato replied to Julesmama28's topic in General Students

    Good luck to you too. I've got my big proctored ATI test today and the final on Wednesday. I'm pretty calm considering this week is worth 35% of my grade and can make or break me. I had a test on...
