  1. Steth tubing length

    Alternator81 replied to Kitty Hawk's topic in General Students

    Shorter tubes = better acoustics. The longer the tube, the further the sound has to travel. For instance the Littlman Master Cardiology, which I have, is really short. Its just long enough to wear...

  2. First day of nursing school

    Alternator81 replied to lvnhopeful's topic in General Students

    I was thinking the same thing. I would have to

  3. Nursing School Orientation. What to wear!?

    Alternator81 replied to MegNeoNurse's topic in General Students

    I have been wonding the same thing. I'm a guy, and was thinking of wearing a pair of khakis and an short-sleeve dress shirt. I live in Tucson, so it's pretty hot here in August! If I could get away...

  4. Starting IVs on old sick people

    Alternator81 replied to zacarias's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    I am a nursing student but work as a phelbotomist in blood donation. I usually do over 30 sticks per day. We haven't started IVs in school yet, so I don't know how they train nurses. But-- I can tell...

  5. TWU Spring 2008

    Alternator81 replied to justbreath's topic in Texas Nursing

    I think I remember some girl that posted on here. She had applied to TWU, and was excepted with something like a 3.2 or 3.3. She had failed out her first semester of college, making it impossible to...

  6. How does your school accept you?

    Alternator81 replied to Sammygrll's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In my school, it's based on 2 areas: First, you can apply while you are in your last semester of prerequisites. I was taking Organic Chem when I applied. I was accepted but it was contingent on...

  7. 2 lab sciences in 1 semester

    Alternator81 replied to goldenscroll's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A&P II is much harder than the first A&P. Micro isn't easy either. Be ready to dedicate a lot of time to those 2 classes. Also, History is not a good choice to take along with sciences....

  8. is it true?

    Alternator81 replied to mistydave's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I am a nursing student. Nursing school is 4-5 semesters, depending on what program you are in. I'm getting my Bachelors degree, so it's 5. After your first semester, I am sure that you can sit in on...

    I just wanted to post this for you. UMC offers fellowships, one being in OR. Here is the link.

  10. shoes for clinicals?

    Alternator81 replied to futureaznurse's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I stick to New Balance too. They make 1 solid white. Once you own a pair of New Balance, you don't go back to any other

  11. Apollo Nursing School

    Alternator81 replied to Mayaquice's topic in Arizona Nursing

    WHAT??!! $39,500??? That is insane! I am a student in a BSN program. Our tuition is about $2,000 X 5(sem.) = $10,000. I think you are getting robbed! Is it an ADN or BSN

  12. any BSN programs without science prereqs?

    Alternator81 replied to firstyearRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I believe that I have heard of programs that accept you when you first start college. You begin to take your nursing classes concurrently with your biology classes--- basically a 4.5 year nursing...

  13. Pre-req's FOR pre-req's???

    Alternator81 replied to CaitRN2be's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Every ADN and BSN program I have every seen requires General Biology as a prerequisite. If they don't, they expect that you will take it. General Biology is totally necessary for A&P, Micro, and...

    Alternator81 replied to wan2banrseNms's topic in General Students

    My sister just got me the Littmann Master Cardiology.. God its nice! the acoustics are incredible! BTW, its something that we are going to have for a long time, and use often... I figure spare no...

  15. A classmate wants to know if I'm gay. How should I respond?

    Alternator81 replied to atwtrn's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I'm sorry, but I think that this is ridicules! Honestly, I do not believe that sexual orientation really has anything to do with someone else. Why would he need to make a big production, and have his...

  16. Has anyone here had to do clinicals in OB

    Alternator81 replied to edsdcs's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Ahhh...thats something I would accidentally

  17. Horrid clinical uniforms

    Alternator81 replied to KungFuFtr's topic in Male Nursing Students

    OH Boy.. There is no way they could get me into one of those white uniforms. Im a man, and the male white "jump suit" makes you looks like an orderly in a psych ward thats coming after the crazy...

  18. Preparing for Applying for Nursing Program?

    Alternator81 replied to TnKzMom's topic in Nevada Nursing

    You might want to try calling the Nurses Office in your High School. They usually keep records of all you vaccinations, and keep them for many many years. If you have had it, it would probably be in...

  19. How to prep myself for nursing school

    Alternator81 replied to s5995's topic in General Nursing

    I am starting in a few months also. I am so lucky that my sister is a nurse and gives me advice, and I have the chance to learn from nurses like you all on here! Thanks so much! I wanted to add...

  20. Horrid clinical uniforms

    Alternator81 replied to KungFuFtr's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I know exactly what color you are talking about. The Med students wear the same red, which is our other school color. I think they are really sharp.

  21. Horrid clinical uniforms

    Alternator81 replied to KungFuFtr's topic in Male Nursing Students

  22. I got in!!!

    Alternator81 replied to PsychGrad2BRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Alternator81 replied to marinemommy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I saw a post of a girl who had screwed up her freshmen year and failed quite a few classes. after her first semester she earned all A's but was only able to pull her GPA up to a 3.1. She had applied...

    Alternator81 replied to Alpha13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Micro is super fun, I

  25. Actual GPA! (TWU or others)

    Alternator81 replied to Babynurse83's topic in Texas Nursing

    I think that it has to do with credits. Ok, for a 4 credit Biology class counts for more than a 3 credit english class because it has more credits so... If a person got an A in an english class, B's...
