    Books to help first semester studies.

    Mama_Cashew posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I apologize for the double posting, but I think the forum I originally posted this in was the wrong one. I am getting ready to start my nursing program in the fall, hopefully, and I was looking to...

    Anyone Taking Pathophysiology This Summer?

    Mama_Cashew replied to DarkLotus's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I feel like an idiot for asking this, but what's the different between Pathophysiology and Human Physiology? I will be taking Advanced Human Physiology this summer, and if they are the same type of...

    Ivy Tech - Fall 2012

    Mama_Cashew replied to Mama_Cashew's topic in Indiana Nursing

    With a score of 180.2, I would say you are pretty much a shoe in for the PN program, you probably would have gotten into the RN program too (if you wanted). Based on the talk I had with the Dean of...

    Ivy Tech - Fall 2012

    Mama_Cashew replied to Mama_Cashew's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I think I finally figured out why they wait until May 30th to mail letters instead of right after the end of Spring semester. Spring semester ended Sunday (5/6/12), the current we are in (5/7 thru...

    how do you feel about group projects?

    Mama_Cashew replied to SC APRN's topic in General Students

    Any group project I have been a part of always contained at least one person who wouldn't carry their weight. Thankfully at the college I attended (for my non-nursing degrees) the instructor wanted...

    Why can't you get Financial Aid with a Bachelors Degree?

    Mama_Cashew replied to thewoods4's topic in General Students

    Oh good grief. I was speaking to the OP who asked why they couldn't get grants. I didn't say I agreed with it. If you didn't use loans or grant money for your first degree then you should be able...

    Am I taking on too much????

    Mama_Cashew replied to rubato's topic in General Students

    I have heard that the first semester of nursing school is the hardest. If possible I would suggest waiting until you have a better understanding of the demands of nursing

    Why can't you get Financial Aid with a Bachelors Degree?

    Mama_Cashew replied to thewoods4's topic in General Students

    Because you have a previous Bachelors, you have taken your "bite of the apple" when it comes to the Grants/free money. You could possible get government funded student loans if you haven't capped out...

    Is it HIPPA or HIPAA?

    Mama_Cashew posted a topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I read tons of posts on here that talk about possible violations of the privacy act and I see it spelled both ways. I thought it was HIPAA. I'm just a pre-nursing student so I may be wrong. Figured...

    Where I did my pre-reqs, they were about $350 per class and I paid for half of it with a small student loan and my employer paid for the other

    Really dumb question

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

    Thank you everyone for the replies. I never realized there were so many different versions of the Associates degree

    Really dumb question

    Mama_Cashew posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Why do a lot of people refer to an Associates in Nursing as an ADN instead of an ASN? It's an Associates of Science in Nursing. People call the Bachelors degree a BSN (Bachelors of Science in...

    Law and Order: SVU = studying.

    Mama_Cashew replied to grownuprosie's topic in General Students

    Count me in on the SVU binging. I could watch that show every day, all day! Nice to know it will help me in my studies.

    What was the hardest part for you?

    Mama_Cashew replied to guest042302019's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For me it was the lecture/physiology part. The anatomy/labs were easy once I learned the proper way to study

    Why be a CNA first?

    Mama_Cashew posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have seen many threads where people suggest to prospective nursing students to become a CNA first so they will and I quote, "know what it's like to be a nurse." My question is, the scope of practice...
