    Who looks up NP and/or CRNA programs for fun?...

    BloomNurseRN replied to Funformillions's topic in General Students

    Definitely! I want to know all my options for when I am done with my ASN. And of course it's fun to dream about getting my CNM after working so hard the last few years just to get through nursing...

    What was your GPA, when you got accepted into nursing school?

    BloomNurseRN replied to Kimynurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had a 3.74 when I started nursing school. I'm hanging on around a 3.3 or so for nursing school for a total of a 3.48. My goal is to 4.0 it my last semester to still graduate with honors. As far...

    Can't Get A Definite Answer - What Format Did You Submit Your Entrance Essay In?

    BloomNurseRN replied to jpluncford21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Definitely just essay format. You're not going to be citing any references so anything more formal would be overkill and seem out of place. Good

    Drawing up

    BloomNurseRN replied to tony.quinn's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm definitely a fan of equations in these examples. We do "desired"/"have" x quantity. We shorten it to D/H x Q. For your example it would be 0.5 mg/5 mg x 1 ml. This then multiples out to 0.5...

    What was the hardest course youve taken?

    BloomNurseRN replied to MeekaNichole's topic in General Students

    I struggled with Pharmacology. Our instructor did not specialize in it and she didn't write the tests so we never knew if what she lectured on would also be on the tests. Also, it was a ton of...

    Weight gain?

    BloomNurseRN replied to hawksrn2014's topic in General Students

    Ugh. I wish I had been smarter and able to keep the weight off but 3 semesters in (only 1 to go!) I've gained the 30 lbs I worked so hard to lose before starting the program. I am trying to work...

    T- minus 2 weeks and 2 days.....

    BloomNurseRN replied to jamieekins's topic in General Students

    He's going to have to get used to that because nursing school is all you will talk about until you are done!! ;-) It's exciting and scary and nerve wracking and awesome. Congrats and good luck!

    Good pair of shoes

    BloomNurseRN replied to MsAlba's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I too am a Dansko Professional fan. We have to do the all white also and they are easy to keep clean. They're not cheap but my feet and legs don't ache after a long day on the floor and I can clean...

    BloomNurseRN replied to BajanCherry's topic in General Students

    So glad you passed! Sounds like you definitely worked for that B- and should be PROUD! :-) I'm sorry that she did all the work necessary to get in to nursing school yet chose to be lazy and not put...

    I failed Nursing critical thinking :( Can I still become a good nurse?

    BloomNurseRN replied to alopez9367's topic in General Students

    You are not alone! Yes, it's frustrating but it sounds like you need to work on your studying and test taking skills. I think the book that was recommended by another poster looks great. There are...

    Any book suggestions for new nursing students???

    BloomNurseRN replied to xxkmpxx's topic in General Students

    I wish someone had told me to buy these types of books when I started. I definitely would have understood prioritization and critical thinking in terms of nursing questions long before it finally...

    BloomNurseRN replied to Lizzyru's topic in General Students

    I am most definitely counting down the days until graduation in 2013! The last day of classes is May 10th and graduation is set for May 17th. You better believe I will be walking and celebrating...

    I am definitely NOT trying to give medical advice here (I would NOT do that, especially as that would violate the site rules) but have you considered you may be suffering from Shift Work Sleep...

    clinical gripes

    We had to take our own cuffs with us to the LTC facility during our first clinical rotation. There were rarely pulse ox's that worked well and sometimes it was hard to find thermometer probe covers....

    How Many Schools Did You Apply For?

    BloomNurseRN replied to mxDP95's topic in General Students

    I applied to one school but for two programs. My school offers a Practical Nursing and an Associate of Science in Nursing. I applied to both in case I didn't get in the ASN program but luckily I...

    Why do some colleges have waitlists while others do not?

    BloomNurseRN replied to DCtooRN's topic in General Students

    As most have said, it's really just a case by case basis. I know my school only admits based on academic merit and that you have to reapply each term and are considered based only on your grades as...

    I am confused and need some help with this math question.

    BloomNurseRN replied to NursingBro's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I use a similar method to Loriangel14. Desired dose/Have * Quantity = X (D/H * Q = X) Desired (900 mL)/Have (1000 mL) * 4 mL = 3.6 mL Good
