Staying fit and healthy is definitely important. I do try to keep up. Whether it's eating healthy foods or taking the 5 flights of stairs instead of the elevator. Take a dance class twice a week. I would like to start taking a strength building class...
I can see myself as an ophthalmologist. I've always had this obsession with eyes and I definitely enjoyed the ophthalmology section of the special senses chapter in A&P.
If she does get compensated, I hope it's only for the amount of her medical bills/furnishing her apartment and future medical expenses (I read somewhere that her medical expenses from THR/NIH were taken care of & she didn't have to pay for anythi...
I found out I got in on Feb. 16, the BEST Valentines gift ever! I live in Dallas uptown-downtown area, so it will definitely be quite a commute! Anyone else live in the area? I am very excited, Congrats to everyone else! Does anyone know when the de...
Any tips on how to handle this class? I heard it's suppose to be very difficult and I'm taking 2 other classes this semester. I'm a little nervous about this class but excited about my new career path that this is all leading to.
Did anyone use this book to study? Clinical Microbiology Made Ridiculously Simple: Mark Gladwin, William Trattler: 9781935660033: Amazon.com: Books I feel that this book is more helpful to med students as it has info that we don't even cover in clas...
If I were in it for the money, I'd go to law school. Nurses make a nice a living, CRNA is better but neither is worth going in to purely for financial. What I really like about nursing is the 3 day work week (it's pretty much what sold me to nursing)...
Aside from the differences in the titles, I'm assuming that the function will still be the same regardless of the degree title? I understand that by 2025 AANA wants us all to have DNPA instead of MSNA/CRNA meaning it would be more competitive than it...
So today in Micro lab, I learned about simple, acid-fast and gram stains. It all went over my head and it didn't help that I didn't pick up on it right away like the rest of my lab group. I was definitely struggling the whole time and am definitely ...
Thanks!! I've been studying and reviewing a little bit every day so I'm hoping that will help me. I really want to get an A in this class! Cross your fingers!
My first test is Feb 12 - so far we're learning the History of Micro, Chemistry of Micro and the Tools of the lab. There's so much info, my plan is to read & review at least 2 hours per day just to make sure it's all sinking in! I am aiming for a...
Thanks you guys!!! My class started today and my lab starts on the 28th. My professor seems to be pretty cool and I'm excited. She mentioned that there's usually 12% - 18% of her students that get A's and I plan on being in that percentage. Wish me ...
Thanks you guys!!! I just printed the syllabus for my Micro Lab & Lecture and it doesn't look as scary as I'm anticipating. I'm gunning for an A. I'm taking this class along with College Algebra & Intro to Professional Nursing. Since my semes...
Jealous you're going to be in your early 20s & starting your nursing career. I'll be finish with mine at 30 - this will be my second career and much better then the first! Congrats'111
I'm hoping that I won't have any issues finding a job after I pass the NCLEX. I live in Dallas and there are several major hospitals by me that are less than 5 miles - Baylor, UT Southwestern, Parkland, Medical City, Children's - and then there's the...
So after reading a few threads and seeing that there are some BSN graduates who have not found jobs after year or more out of nursing school (I've stopped reading them after a pretty bad anxiety attack), I'm worried and I am stressed out that I'm goi...
I guess it depends on how much education you have as a nurse. ADN is good, BSN is great, Masters is better. You have have to spend a lot for all levels of education but I'd say the ROI is pretty darn good. No one goes in to nursing for the "piles" of...
So I was looking at some job postings and I found the one I know I'm going to love. OR nurse for Neurosurgery. I want to do this for a few years then go to CRNA school (not sure where though). I would love, LOVE to get this job out of the gate but t...
thanks for the post and the warning!!! gahh i have 2.5 years and i'm hoping that the economic climate will change. I wonder if this varies from state to state or if this the general process for new grads? any insider tips from new grads/hires is alw...
