    SopranoKris replied to sweetestc's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Don't get too discouraged about the points. There are ALWAYS people who don't accept their seats and they end up going pretty far down the list to fill them all. The year I got in, I had 140 points...

    Sure do hope it starts making sense. Econ has never made me "tic" so I have a hard time getting in to the subject. Thanks for the encouragement

    OMG, Econ is going to be the death of me this semester. 5 and a half hours of homework today because the discussion posts have to be done by Wednesday and I worked Sun, Mon, Tue this week. UGH!!!!...

    NR 351 was a fairly easy transition to online courses. Doing all the worksheets practically writes your paper, so not too time consuming. This course only required 2 discussion posts per week on 2...

    We made it through our first semester! Still waiting for my grade in SOSC 350. I ended up with a 99.6% in NR 351, very happy about that :) Anyone taking ECON? It started today. Holy cow, there's a...

    SopranoKris replied to Pebanj's topic in Chamberlain College

    Chamberain has a new requirement, less credits but different classes?

    SopranoKris replied to Pebanj's topic in Chamberlain College

    Hmm, looks like less prior credits (82 in old plan, 77 in new one). It also looks like Political Science is now a requirement instead of History. They also dropped the requirement for Economics....

    Yeah, it's a bit tedious, isn't it? Especially having to do 6 posts per week and they have to be on 3 separate days, too. UGH! Only a few more weeks to to and it's over. Thank

    Neuro = dumping ground for "difficult" pts?

    SopranoKris posted a topic in Neurological

    I'm doing a new grad residency program. My home unit is neuro/trauma critical care. My 2nd unit is the general neuro med-surg floor. It seems like the entire hospital uses the med-surg neuro floor...

    I feel NR 351 is pretty easy. You write the paper in stages and it's due Week 6, no quizzes or final exam. The worksheets are pretty easy. Not too time consuming. You only have to do 2 discussion...

    Clinical instructor keeps handing out clinical warnings?

    SopranoKris replied to lilfayfay's topic in General Students

    My question is: why would you need to "unhook the IV" to administer the IV pantoprazole? It is compatible with most continuous fluids. You would simply pause the infusion, do a flush in the Y-port...

    Anyone else a planner nerd?

    SopranoKris replied to AshBuggin's topic in General Students

    I love my planner. It got me through 17 credits in one semester during pre-reqs (4.0!) It got me through nursing school with flying colors (3.91) Now that I'm going back for my BSN, I'm busting out...

    Yes, absolutely! I'd like to go on to get AG-ACNP when I'm done with the BSN, so I've gotta start saving up as much as I can so I don't have to get too much in student
