  1. degree changers, was nursing harder than your previous degree?

    CHESCCRP replied to Infofreak411's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, my BSN was harder than my BS in public health. The public health degree took longer because I went part time, but there was no way to complete my pre-licensure BSN part time. The papers were...

    CHESCCRP replied to guest08/05/2014's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I find the medilexicon abbreviations site ( Medical Abbreviations and Pharmaceutical Abbreviations Dictionary ) to be very helpful. While there is almost too much information, contextual clues (and...

  5. Teacher uses a different textbook for tests

    CHESCCRP replied to smilemore78's topic in General Students

    OP, I sent you a PM. Our school uses Potter & Perry, and there is an "Interactive review" website where you can practice NCLEX-style questions from the material in the book. I love this tool...

  6. Medical dosage calculations

    CHESCCRP replied to sucess2012's topic in General Students

    I have never heard of a separate dosage calculations course. Mine was integrated into Nursing Pharmacology, and you couldn't take that at my school unless you were in the nursing

  7. Questions on my final and I passed!

    CHESCCRP replied to truckinusa's topic in General Students

    Truckinusa, do you remember your possible answers? The reason I ask is because I used to work in research, and the nurses would typically call the research office to speak to one of the research...

  8. How many people in your class?

    CHESCCRP replied to Dezy's topic in General Students

    We began with 20 in our cohort, now down to 18. We all have lecture together, with each half of us going into one of two lab/clinical groups. A lot of us already have bachelor's degrees, so our...

  11. Simple Nursing course turning out to be a complete nightmare.......help!

    CHESCCRP replied to Nursing2102's topic in General Students

    I am sorry you got stuck with such a lousy professor. You can complain to administration all you want after the class is over, but it looks like you're stuck with her for now. Don't waste your limited...

  12. Rejected from ASU post-bacc nursing program, need some advice?

    CHESCCRP replied to rosesxforthexdead's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Are you referring to Arizona State University? I agree with hiddencatRN, take some science courses at a community college to raise your GPA and make you a more viable candidate. CC courses are not as...

  13. Any web sites to purchase instead of rent e-textbooks?

    CHESCCRP replied to LCinTraining's topic in General Students

    Contact other schools' bookstores. The University of Arizona has textbook bundles (e-only) that you can buy. I don't know if you need to be a current student, but I don't go

  14. What area of nursing works well for a mom?

    CHESCCRP replied to emptyboxcars's topic in General Nursing

    Have you looked at research nursing? Though you don't get to use as many of the hands-on skills that you would in an acute care facility, there is research done in both hospital and office settings. I...

    CHESCCRP replied to CJ2blpn2017's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Practice the problems at the end of the chapter. Make sure you know how the terms and concepts are linked. Try explaining chemistry concepts to a willing person, which will help it sink in to your...

  17. What are "vasoactive drips"?

    CHESCCRP replied to Nolander's topic in Critical Care

    Wow, that was fascinating! I am a student about to start my first semester, but I used to do cardiology research. That site is supremely helpful, and I will know to reference it if I pursue ICU...

  19. Is dating or flirting with an another nurse or patient is acceptable?

    CHESCCRP replied to Beautifulvirgo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    To add to all the good advice from above, don't sleep with doctors, either. Your fellow nurses will totally lose respect for you, and you won't be taken seriously as a professional. This was not my...

  20. GPA just not good enough

    CHESCCRP replied to rokbe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    OP, does your school accept students based only on grades and test scores? My undergrad GPA was a 3.57, my prereq GPA was a 3.7, my Kaplan composite was 89, but I also have 9 years experience in the...

  21. Was a BSN/MSN necessary for your career in research?

    CHESCCRP replied to aggiepack177's topic in Research

    Arizona State University has an MS in Clinical Research Management that seems like it would be perfect for what you are looking to do. Since you want to be on the sponsor side of research, this might...

    CHESCCRP replied to link51411's topic in Research

    If you have a signed informed consent form, the measurement is okay to be reported back to you. Does this study have a screening consent form? If not, does the partial HIPAA waiver cover the doctor or...

  23. Pre-Nursing school immunization catastrophe!

    CHESCCRP replied to DisneyNurseGal's topic in General Students

    That is what I needed. Having worked previously in health care, I had been getting PPDs for the past seven years. The most recent PPD yielded an "equivocal" result, per my PCP. He ordered a...

  24. Possible to get into nursing school with a C? Has anyone ever?

    CHESCCRP replied to brenay's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had 2 Cs, in English and Psychology, 19 years ago. My Kaplan test score was high, I have experience in a similar field, I volunteered a lot, plus I was a prior graduate of the school to which I was...

  25. Not sure of what to do.

    CHESCCRP replied to stratus93's topic in General Students
