    kirbi replied to Laughing Gas's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    kirbi replied to nursestudentin05's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Since you are only working part-time, I am sure it can be done without too much difficulty. You will need to work hard. A&P2 is a lot of work. Algebra,,, well, I thought Algebra was a fun class...

  3. Worried about recieving C in a&p.....

    kirbi replied to RS0302's topic in General Nursing

    My school used a point system too, but it was sort of based on GPA. They gave you so many points for each A, B, or C you had in your pre-req's. Then, you also had to have a certain GPA in your...

  4. Just Found Out I Failed

    kirbi replied to Triple A's's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you do decide to drop the class, do it early in the semester. Some schools allow you to "drop" the class early with no penalty, but if you wait you have to take a "withdrawal" which can be a very...

  5. Anyone entered into BSN program w/o stats

    kirbi replied to txspadequeenRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Good luck to you! I hope this works out for you this way, 'cuz I DO NOT recommend taking Algebra and Stats together. You really need to be solid in Algebra before starting Stats.

    HELLO! Assault and Battery is a criminal offense! You absolute did the right thing. I am sure, in their more lucid and mindful moments, like perhaps in a court room, administration would have to...

  7. How did you find out about allnurses?

    kirbi replied to cnelle101's topic in General Nursing

    When I found out I was accepted into nursing school, I did a google search on "Why I love being a nurse". Most of the hits I got were for sites about "Why I hate beign a nurse" This was the first...

  8. ER the T.V. Show

    kirbi replied to sunnyjohn's topic in General Nursing

  11. Freeloading Classmates....GRRR!

    kirbi replied to hangnon's topic in General Students

    that whole "feeling bad for them" thing is a guilt trip. it is a perfectly healthy response to feel angry when someone is trying to manipulate you. ignoring it doesn't do you or them any favors. be...

    kirbi replied to katesmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    They say that public speaking is people's #1 fear. Like most things, though, it usually does get easier with practice.

  15. Freeloading Classmates....GRRR!

    It's on a skills assignment on documentation. We're given "commonly used phrases" that we're supposed to translate into standard English.
