  1. Do you think MacBook 11inch would be good for Nursing School? Or is it too small?

    christina731 replied to NRRN,IWP's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I completely agree. It's just a bunch of hype. I have bounced back and forth between androids and iPhones since the very first iPhone came out years ago and I keep going back to android. My last...

  2. How to spend this summer

    christina731 replied to jwalker03's topic in General Students

    I started nursing school in January after I was accepted in October so I didn't have a summer to prepare, just a very busy holiday season with other classes and work thrown in. I didn't get much time...

  3. What is a "passing grade" for your nursing program?

    christina731 replied to aspiringrn1987's topic in General Students

    My program requires a 75% average on exams before points from assignments are added in, but they do round. So if you end up with a 74.4% average on exams you fail even if your assignments were 100%....

  4. RN program acceptance letter & drug dosage calculation questions

    christina731 replied to pmabraham's topic in General Students

    My school has different exams based on the class. For my funds (PO drugs) exam, it was like learning a whole new language. This exam was in my 3rd week of 1st semester right in between my first 2...

    christina731 replied to NRRN,IWP's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  7. CSN RN Fall 2014

    christina731 replied to normitac86's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Make sure you pay attention to the dates for your 2 step TB. You will have to get a new 1 step every year as long as it's before the 1 year expiration of the 2 step. For example, if you got a 2 step...

  8. What kind of a job did you have while in nursing school?

    christina731 replied to AspiringRN27's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a nurse yet (I will be in December though!) but I'll still chime in. I've been working as a pharmacy tech throughout school. During the semesters I only work limited hours depending on my exam...

  11. Certifications?

    christina731 replied to setownsley's topic in General Students

    My school offers BLS, CPR, ACLS, and PALS to any one willing to take the courses. Students, RN's, LPN's and I would assume lay people can take the courses. They are offered on a non-credit/degree...

  12. Resume help! just a question!

    christina731 replied to kristimgillrn's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    As a PP already stated you can't renew if it's expired. Just take a new course and be done with it. It's a few hours of your life and it will hopefully help boost your

  15. What am I missing here?

    christina731 replied to Cat_RN's topic in Patient Medications

    I would solve the problem like this: Hr = 1hr/60ml x 500ml/vtbi = 8.33333 hr = 8 hr 19.8 min = 8 hr 20 min. So I don't see why you got it wrong....

  17. NCLEX week.... prayer anyone?

    christina731 replied to dbrenda1510's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I guess I'm part of the minority too. It's nice to see someone who feels the same way I do. I repeat something similar to your last statement during every test and I've done well on all of them! No...

    christina731 replied to Cal45's topic in General Students

    christina731 replied to carys's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    christina731 replied to itiswell's topic in General Students

    I've had my BLS certification since I was a 17 year old college student. It was required for a class at the time, but I can't remember which. So yes, you can take it even if you aren't a healthcare...
