  1. Memory don't fail me now!!!!

    phuretrotr replied to Nurse2b7337's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The big picture usually comes back to me, but I saved my A&P book and pathophysiology book in case I needed to review a certain system/area/disease. I did not save my microbiology book, but I...

  2. Macbook Pro...

    phuretrotr replied to 7237dallas's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    YES! This is synced with my MBP and iPad and it works wonders. If you use iCloud, that as well works fabulous with the newest iPad, but I've heard that iCloud isn't all that great with the earlier...

  3. Chemistry not required for nursing program?

    phuretrotr replied to RN2BE93's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    *Fair warning!* I'm not trying to be a jerk, even if I come off like it. I say things as I'm writing it with my own voice, with added emphasis, but the interweb hasn't developed enough for me to show...

  4. Nurse with a crappy immune system??

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

    Antibiotics shouldn't be used very often unless needed. Whatever the infection is may become resistant to antibiotics if you take them often, which if you pass that new resistant infection off,...

  5. Reciting nurse's pledge question

    phuretrotr replied to FLNurse2015's topic in General Students

    I'd be 2 minutes late for every

  6. Worth it to go back for a BSN?

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

    'Tis true! That is a very good point to be made. A CNA will have their own responsibilities in that job. However, you have close contact with many nurses whenever you work, and I am sure a few will...

  7. Nurse with a crappy immune system??

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

    Along with Inori advice, you could look into taking Vitamin C

  8. ATI Appeal

    phuretrotr replied to sparklenshine1210's topic in General Students

    I think her point was that since the new school didn't have ATI, she passed, graduated, and passed NCLEX. Which could have happened the first time had it not been for ATI failing

  9. ATI Appeal

    phuretrotr replied to sparklenshine1210's topic in General Students

    I 100% agree with you on this. That is why ATI should only be used for learning purposes, not exit exam and pass standards. ATI tells you what the 5 processes names are, but that's about it. The only...

  10. Critical Thinking: you have it or you don't. Agree or disagree?

    phuretrotr replied to LTCnurse11's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I see now. In your second post, The way you explained it, it was like saying everyone who struggles with critically thinking is because they fail to think there is more than one answer. Which that...

  11. Critical Thinking: you have it or you don't. Agree or disagree?

    phuretrotr replied to LTCnurse11's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    The ability to critically think has haunted me. I have some of it down, but I think sometimes I go too far in thinking that anything is possible, which brings me back to, only one thing is the best...

    phuretrotr replied to 9#n's topic in General Students

  13. Worth it to go back for a BSN?

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

    An idea that might be worth looking into for your situation is getting a CNA job. You don't have to invest a lot of money in getting certified and once you get a job, you can see all the things a...

  14. Chemistry not required for nursing program?

    phuretrotr replied to RN2BE93's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yea-huh! My patient needs to know that he's on a diuretic, and I'm gonna be all like, "So you don't absorb the ions which include electrons and protons and it's chemically impossible to have electrons...

  15. I need help ASAP please

    phuretrotr replied to butterflykisses23's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You also don't have to go all the way to 500. If you got your point across in 356 words and have good sentence structure, you won't be marked down or anything. Also, when you re-read it, make sure it...

  16. Great websites to practice math questions!

    phuretrotr replied to catlove's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I've seen this website mentioned before, you could give it a try... DosageHelp.com - Helping Nursing Students Learn Dosage

  17. Too young/ early in life to be in Nursing Program?

    phuretrotr replied to futuresctRN's topic in General Students

    I will also graduate when I am 21 from a BSN program. Don't let them get you down. If you understand the material, there is no reason you should not be allowed in. Probably just jealous of your...

  18. Starting 2nd semester in 10 days any tips about PEDS/OB

    phuretrotr replied to cassi_future_RN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I had no experience with kids either. Baby of my family and none of my friends had babies, so I was terrified. But once you realize they just want to play and be kids, it will be easier to let...

  19. Chemistry not required for nursing program?

    phuretrotr replied to RN2BE93's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it is of value, but I mean, if your school doesn't require it, the school must not think it is a big deal... Don't worry! I'll take good care of you! Plus, I would like to become a CRNA, so...

  20. Chemistry not required for nursing program?

    phuretrotr replied to RN2BE93's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No, not all that different. We didn't have to know the chemical structure per say but we were taught and tested on the effect of each drug in relation to receptors and all that jazz. Even though I...

  21. Where is the best nursing school

    phuretrotr replied to caringkind11's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have heard that a lot of employers and if you continue your education past a RN, in future graduate programs, really like when you went to a school that is affiliated with a teaching hospital. Most...

  22. MS versus DNP

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

    WOW! I should have read that the first time you posted it. Forgive me for my lack of patience. That article hit the nail on the head. Right now, I think I would wish to get a DNP just because I don't...

  23. Is using quizlet to study NCLEX questions cheating?

    phuretrotr replied to GabrielstudentRN's topic in General Students

    I understand that. It is the poster's responsibility to not include copyrighted content, but Quizlet says, "Quizlet reserves the right to investigate and take appropriate legal action against anyone...

  24. What are your tips/tricks for doing well in nursing school?

    phuretrotr replied to TeeGuneys23's topic in General Students

    What I do is, with the notes I take in class, I re-write everything in categories, in columns. Re-writing it helps me retain it better because since I don't want to re-write 100 pages of notes for...

  25. This site is discouraging me from nursing...

    phuretrotr replied to 9#n's topic in General Students

    I think more often than not, when people post here, they come here to vent. When you're happy, you don't need to talk to anyone about because you don't need comfort. However, when you need someone to...
