    What is a "passing grade" for your nursing program?

    SopranoKris replied to aspiringrn1987's topic in General Students

    Ours is 76% in each component. So, you can't average out your grade. We also have pass/fail clinicals and a med math exam which requires a 90% or better. Failure to meet any of those standards and you...

    In our program, it means you have to have your LPN, Paramedic or Respiratory Therapist license and you can prove you've worked under that

    LPN programs "14" Michigan

    SopranoKris replied to shan409's topic in Michigan Nursing

    They admit 32 "advanced standing" students per year (LPN, Paramedic, Resp. Therapist, etc.) From what I understand, they haven't received enough applications to fill all 32 spots in that track, so you...

    Nursing Program Question

    SopranoKris replied to BK21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've never come across a BSN program that requires an associate's degree of any kind. Many times, you have to take so many pre-reqs for both the ASN & BSN that you earn enough credits to get an...

    Please explain to me why I set up this problem wrong. Dimensional Analysis

    SopranoKris replied to Mrs2016's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Great! I'm glad that helped What helps me the most in med math is to skip to the question and find out what I need. In this scenario it was mcg/kg/min. This tells me to look for mcg first, since I...

    Please explain to me why I set up this problem wrong. Dimensional Analysis

    SopranoKris replied to Mrs2016's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The question is asking for mcg per kg per minute. (1000 mcg/1 mg) x (400 mg/500 mL) x (30 mL/1 hour) x (1 hour/60 minutes) x (1 patient/117 pounds) x (2.2 lbs/1 kg) If you cancel out all your units,...

    SopranoKris replied to Aryn626's topic in Michigan Nursing

    The good news is that it doesn't yet "count" :) If you still have your Pharm math book, do lots of practice questions. I would also highly recommend going to the NURS 119 math workshop. It's great...

    Organic Chemistry

    SopranoKris replied to SopranoKris's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We took our first exam last Thursday. I scored the highest grade and that was only an 86. We lost 8 students after that test. Our professor said there will only be 7 or so of us left by the end of the...

    Critique of Nursing School

    Your program sounds very similar to mine, except we have the option to take NCLEX-PN, not required. We have wonderful instructors. We are encouraged to ask questions, our instructors support &...

    Taking anatomy and physiology during same semester?

    SopranoKris replied to MsDanielle's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
