  1. In the middle of summer break... 2 semesters left

    phuretrotr replied to MilliePieRN's topic in General Students

    YESSSSSSS! I can't believe my summer is over in about a month. I took online history and ethics over the summer, so I still kind of stayed in light homework mode, but after last semester's freak out,...

  2. Financial aid...not enough

    phuretrotr replied to adc85's topic in General Students

    Layluhh14's post is very accurate. I as well have both subsidized and unsubsidized loans for every semester. However, I have never asked for any amount. I was usually given a maximum amount of money I...

  3. How much are you paying...

    phuretrotr replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Students

    Per credit hour, I pay $550... So I usually end up spending around $7000-$9000 for tuition only a semester. I do go to an accredited, non-profit school, but it is private, hence the high costs. I have...

  4. Boards Question

    phuretrotr replied to jlc128's topic in General Students

    I am pretty sure you have to apply to the state's (where you would like to work) health departments to get credentials in that state. I don't think it is hard to do so, you just have to have graduated...

  5. Retakes Before CRNA School

    phuretrotr posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hi all, I am just looking for some advice on retaking classes to make my science GPA look for appealing for CRNA schools. So what I am wanting to retake is A&P I & II, Chemistry, and...

  6. Retakes Before CRNA School

    phuretrotr replied to phuretrotr's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Thanks morificeko and missnurse01! I guess I didn't think about working nights, but that is a very good suggestion! If I were to take graduate level science courses, would those factor into my science...

  7. Predicament

    phuretrotr replied to firefly27's topic in General Students

    If you can apply for a second appeal, I would do so. In your second appeal, it may be wise to not criticize the school, but instead talk about how you will better yourself. I would also read the...

  8. DRUG CALC

    phuretrotr replied to lenapink's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    To me, drug calculations are fairly easy. Once you learn the steps and continue to use the calculations, you shouldn't have a problem. The only tip I can provide you, since you haven't started yet, is...

  9. Doubts about pre-nursing

    phuretrotr replied to wondersofthewing's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You don't need to be science smart to be a nurse. You do have to learn the material though. Your nursing classes may shortly go over the pathophysiology and A&P of a certain subject, but you will...

  10. semester before nursing school

    phuretrotr replied to BSNinprogress22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I once took 20 credit hours and got better grades than when I took 15 or 16. One of those classes was even a nursing class. I think I did better because I always had to do something so I never got...

  11. CLASSES!!

    phuretrotr replied to collegegirl101's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Although I did not take the classes you listed at the same time, I think that course load is very doable! Pathophysiology is the class that you will really want to focus on. I would then say nutrition...

  12. Three more semesters, but what classes to Register for?

    phuretrotr replied to catsoutlook's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Depending on how strong you are in science/biology, that is the way I would choose. If you are strong, you may be able to handle microbiology in the summer. You also have to take into account on how...

  13. Pretend Patient

    phuretrotr replied to green34's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    If you wanted to do wanted to do encephalitis due to herpes, there is a great case study on "patient H&M". Since they have to take out parts of the brain and hippocampus, it could work out for a...

  14. Clinicals, really not prep for real world?

    phuretrotr replied to RNnewbie2014's topic in General Students

    I would not be discouraged. Real world nursing is not all about skills. I use to think it was and it made me feel very anxious when thinking about future jobs and how I would have to preform these...

  15. How difficult is Intro to Nursing class? Also need help on choosing a biology

    phuretrotr replied to FayLynn87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Also, I think you should be fine if you take all 3 in the fall. Since your nursing course will be out of the way half way in and you already have had a taste of A&P, so some information may...

  16. How difficult is Intro to Nursing class? Also need help on choosing a biology

    phuretrotr replied to FayLynn87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If I had to choose between the two microbiology classes, I would choose the general one. Only because it covers a little bit of everything whereas the pathogenic one may be more specific but you will...

  17. How difficult is Intro to Nursing class? Also need help on choosing a biology

    phuretrotr replied to FayLynn87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I never had to take an "Intro to Nursing" course as a pre-requisite to nursing school, so I cannot for sure say what this will entail. However, if it is like Fundamentals of Nursing, then you should...

  18. Nervous about clinicals! What to expect?

    phuretrotr replied to bsartor's topic in General Students

    How do you know which patients you will be working with? How much does the nursing instructor supervise you? Or the patient's nurse? What is a typical clinical like from beginning to end? In general,...

  19. What was the HARDEST PART OF NURSING SCHOOL for you?

    phuretrotr replied to J.O.Y.'s topic in General Students

    Getting enough

  20. Med Math...

    phuretrotr replied to eyesopen_mouthshut's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    My school as well does not have a Med Math course. We learn the math by ourselves and have to pass the test with a 100% too. However, we have a test twice every semester so really, it seems to me like...

  21. Med Math...

    phuretrotr replied to eyesopen_mouthshut's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    More than likely, you will learn how to calculation drug dosages via dimensional analysis in the math class. However, the calculations are all basic algebra. You'll just need a basic math...

  22. Statistics online

    phuretrotr replied to Jenjer003's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I also took statistics online in a 5-week course. There were 16 chapters to read so about 3-4 a week, we had a weekly 30-40 point test, and 2 projects in where you had to collect data and do various...

  23. first quarter down/ nursing process ?

    phuretrotr replied to jddm163's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Well the nursing process gives information about for your nursing diagnosis, what you will do about it, and if your/doc's plan works. For example: - Assess: You have a patient with the medical...

  24. Is nursing school supposed to be harder?

    phuretrotr replied to Lucidity's topic in General Students

    I don't believe my school, inflates grades at all, but I also don't think the concepts are that hard, so I'll answer your question... My school has an NCLEX pass rate of 98% the first time and 100%...

  25. Is nursing school supposed to be harder?

    phuretrotr replied to Lucidity's topic in General Students

    Do you read the required readings in the required books for your classes? Are they huge books? Do you have to read at least 2-3 chapters a week? Are you lectured about the readings that were due? Are...
