  1. VSCC to MTSU or just MTSU BSN?

    pre-nurseshan replied to aWiiPeanut's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Oh, I meant to say, take your pre-reqs at VSCC. I wouldn't do ADN to BSN - it doesn't save that much time in the long

  3. Hesi every semester, this time over fundamentals

    pre-nurseshan replied to missmollie's topic in General Students

    I just took my health assessment HESI two days ago, and I did pretty well. I didn't study a lick - although ours is a portion of our grade, I already have an A in the class and it's a very small...

  4. HA question about elevated temp

    pre-nurseshan replied to pre-nurseshan's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I prefer to be as non-specific as possible to be as unidentifiable as possible. I cringe to use incorrect grammar, and I apologize for making my question unnecessarily confusing. His/her seemed...

    pre-nurseshan replied to pre-nurseshan's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I get that, I do. (and actually they've got the normal adult heart rate at 50-90) My instructor said the same thing you said re: normal for some individuals being outside the normal range. She also...

  7. HA question about elevated temp

    pre-nurseshan replied to pre-nurseshan's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Ok, thank you. In the charting (really, just a lab write-up form for the class) it does indicate that a temp of 100 is a problem. I've tried emailing my instructor but she hasn't responded yet. It's...

  8. HA question about elevated temp

    pre-nurseshan replied to pre-nurseshan's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  11. HA question about elevated temp

  15. Circumcision

    pre-nurseshan replied to TexRN's topic in General Students

    Thank you. Nurses are not automatons, they are humans, and the whole point of nursing is that you care. While I agree with Esme that refusing to work for *a facility* that performs circumcisions will...

    pre-nurseshan replied to TexRN's topic in General Students

    I addressed the issue up front in my NS interview, and they said I would not be required to participate in any way. Additionally, the organization Doctors Opposing Circumcision has a pdf relating to...

    pre-nurseshan posted a topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I am just at the very beginning of my nursing education, so forgive me if I am being presumptuous, but my preliminary understanding of the nurse's understanding of the human is that we incorporate...

  18. Question for atheist nurses

    pre-nurseshan replied to pre-nurseshan's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Whoa - this thread really took off while I wasn't looking! A couple of things: 1) I am a Christian. 2) Because I have a belief in a deity, I began to wonder how atheist nurses interpret the dictum...

    pre-nurseshan posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    maybe it's not as cool as i think - I'm totally not to this point yet (I start my nursing program this fall) anyway, amazon has the kindle version of the NCLEX-RN content review guide free for...

  23. Will my ultimate career goal make it difficult to get started in nursing?

    pre-nurseshan posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'm concerned that my long term goals (i.e., becoming an NP) will make it difficult to get a job as an RN. Do employers typically discriminate against someone who is not looking to spend the rest of...
