  1. Orthopedic Shoes??

    Shorty11 replied to richfield1977's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I wear regular ol' Nikes. I recommend buying some Dr. Scholl's insoles and some compression socks. My feet are fine after 12 hours of standing since I started wearing compression socks and

  2. Ideas for Classes?

    Shorty11 replied to Stephalump's topic in General Students

    Have you thought about taking Medical Terminology or Nutrition? I needed more hours (a few semesters ago) in order to be full-time and qualify for maximum financial aid. I already had 3 psych classes...

    Shorty11 replied to britthohenbrink's topic in General Students

    I entered my BSN program with a 3.25 GPA. I am about to finish my 3rd (of 5) semesters of nursing classes. I made an A in Intro to Nursing, an A in Health Assessment, an A in Nursing Statistics, an A...

  4. Previous IV Drug User

    Shorty11 replied to studentbear's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am with the majority of posters. I am in my 3rd (of 5) semesters in a BSN program. The only thing we did on each other was test blood glucose levels. Other than that, we did not practice on each...

  5. Midwestern State University Fall 2013

    Shorty11 replied to chipkali's topic in Texas Nursing

    Every semester the number of points required to get in is different. It is based on the group who applies that semester... some years the group averages higher, and therefore the number of points...

  6. C in pre-req class is that entirely bad????!!

    Shorty11 replied to 2016hun's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    "3 C's so far?" 3 C's out of how many total grades? Overall current GPA? How many pre-reqs do you have left? Also, how are your science grades? Before re-taking any classes, I would check with your...

  7. Working while going to school

    Shorty11 replied to Adriana1120's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Is the nursing program full-time or part-time? What will your class and clinical schedule be like? Also depends on the full-time job. Some jobs are much more physically and mentally demanding than...

    Shorty11 replied to mz23's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have never heard of a psych tech to RN bridge program... but apparently some do exist! I googled "psych tech to RN bridge program" just out of curiosity. For example, one of the search results was...

  9. Scholarship question

    Shorty11 replied to LaceElaine's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Good question. I would contact the scholarship committee. I would think that depending on the scholarship, it will either matter a lot, or not at all. Some scholarships are dependent on you attending...

  10. I'm soooo lost on my med math homework! Can anyone help me?

    Shorty11 replied to S.Smith's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I solve these similar to the way loriangel does. I was taught "desired" divided by "on-hand". Then multiplied by the "volume." I'm really not a fan of dimensional analysis (personal preference), but...

  11. Taking classes before pre-req's?

    Shorty11 replied to Tasha_Nicole's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I didn't have to, but I think there is no shame in it. I have many friends who took a similar path.... took a beginning or introductory math course before taking their pre-req math course. If math...

  12. Math Conversion-Metric system Help!!!!!!!

    Shorty11 replied to determined_30's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Metric conversions from one metric unit to another metric unit are based on multiples of 10. I use an acronym to remember the metric prefixes. King Henry Died By Drinking Contaminated Milk. K=kilo,...

    Shorty11 replied to prada93's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Does your school have an online library database that you can access? We have access to our library's databases with paid tuition. We get a username and password and can then login from anywhere. Once...

  14. Pharmacology

    Shorty11 replied to MommaTy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I personally thought pharm was one of the easier classes I had to take. I made an A. (I finished the semester with a 96) The material is a lot of memorization. Yet, do your best to actually learn what...

  15. Is there anybody out there doing well in nursing school?

    Shorty11 replied to StayHumble11's topic in General Students

    I dont have a 4.0, but I have been doing well. I am in a BSN program. My third semester is in progress so I haven't gotten my official grades for this semester yet, but I have two A's and one B (an...

  16. Cheater

    Shorty11 replied to jvanwoman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Unfortunately with a cheating situation, even if you have a private conversation with your professor about her, there may not be much the professor can do without catching her in the act also. I...

  17. Accelerated BSN prerequisites

    Shorty11 replied to JT1111's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Most likely prereqs at a community college will be cheaper than the cost at a university. However, you need to be absolutely positive that your credits will transfer. Also, the university I attend...

  18. Accelerated BSN prerequisites

    Shorty11 replied to JT1111's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I graduated with a BS in Biology in 2009. I used scholarships, pell grants, and federal student loans to pay for it. I decided to go back to school in 2011 to pursue a BSN. Many people told me that I...

  19. Is there anybody out there doing well in nursing school?

    Shorty11 replied to StayHumble11's topic in General Students

    In my BSN program, 74 or above is passing (no rounding). As a rule, you are only allowed to (fail and) retake one core nursing course. You are dismissed from the program the second time you fail a...

  20. Scared to death about A&P

    Shorty11 replied to HeatherMax's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I loved A&P! (I have a BS in biology. I am currently working on a BSN.. Will graduate May 2014). It turned out to be interesting and honestly wasn't as hard as people made it out to be. More time...

  23. Take micro with anatomy, or with physiology?

    Shorty11 replied to space monster's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took anatomy and physiology as separate classes. I took anatomy first and then physiology. I would recommend taking anatomy with micro. Anatomy was all memorization, while physiology required a...

  24. Classes that can be taken after pre-reqs are completed?

    Shorty11 replied to Tiff1989's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As PP have said, I would get ahold of your school's course catalog and/or talk to your advisor. As an example, Intro to Nursing, Nursing/Healthcare Stats, and Pathophysiology can all be taken at my...

  25. One step closer...

    Shorty11 replied to MeganLMillman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I used the website Quizlet. Other people that have taken it have made flash cards you can access. The test itself was very basic math. For me, studying flash cards on Quizlet was more than enough....
