    How confident are you in your Math skills? If you typically do well, you should pass dosage calculations no problem. Our Pharmacology class had a requirement that we had to pass 2 dosage calculation...

    When did it become ok for patients to do this

    SopranoKris replied to mskrisCNA2bRN's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    This is why I quit being a CNA in the 90s. I was only a kid, a few years out of high school and those dirty old men would make lewd comments. One offered me money to give him a

    Wake me up when March ends!

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

    No worries, hand soap worked better than sanitizer. Surprisingly, Lysol & hydrogen peroxide were more effective than bleach on the majority of the bacteria. I was highly surprised! Even though...

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

    When you finish Micro, you'll never want to use hand sanitizer after doing the experiment that shows which common household cleaners kill bacteria better. Hand sanitizer ended up being the least...

    Age old debate: on campus or online micro?????

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

    I couldn't imagine taking Micro as an online class. You get so much more from the lecture when you're present and can ask questions. Yes, I know you can post questions to the prof on the course...

    Pathophysiology as a pre-req?

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

    SopranoKris replied to tortia1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    OK, had a complete scare today: got a call from the nursing program. I forgot to attach a copy of my BLS certification to my nursing school application. They called and said I could drop it off...

    Do you have to be great in math to be become a RN?!?

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

    You'll need to know enough math to do dimensional analysis and conversions for pharmacology. If you're planning on a BSN, many programs also require Statistics. Plus, many pre-reqs (e.g. Chem)...

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

    Straight A's in Science prereqs?

    SopranoKris replied to SmYle4PeDs's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, it's possible to do so. I've got a 4.0 in my science pre-reqs. But it took a LOT of work & devotion to study time. I highly recommend buying a planner and color coding with your homework,...
