  1. Mom & Nursing Student

    suzw replied to KnottyNurse17's topic in General Students

    I'm a mom of a 4 year-old, and not single, but my hubby was forced to move to the opposite coast for his work just weeks before school started. He makes it home for a few days about every 3 weeks, so...

  3. High WBCs with acute GI bleed?

    suzw replied to suzw's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Well he said it happened right after drinking his morning coffee and he threw up his coffee. He had an upper GI that showed a Mallory Weiss tear, not abscesses, ulcerations or

  4. High WBCs with acute GI bleed?

    suzw replied to suzw's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    By the way, my clinical instructor is new, but she's an experienced nurse and couldn't quite figure it out

  5. High WBCs with acute GI bleed?

    suzw replied to suzw's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Yeah, I was perplexed as to why he was discharged before having a repeat CBC, and no diff was ever done. He was feelong well on discharge though, with no fever. He never had a temp higher than 37.2...

  6. High WBCs with acute GI bleed?

    suzw replied to suzw's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  7. Everett Community College Applicants Fall 2014

    suzw replied to kkay29's topic in Washington Nursing

    Just wanted to say, I'm a current student at EvCC (3rd quarter) and it really is a good program, one of the top 2 or 3 in the state, or so I've heard. I'm very happy with my decision. I took cultural...

  8. Test Question

    suzw replied to trishybobishyp's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    oops, I meant Zithromax should be given first. Not "it".

  9. Test Question

    suzw replied to trishybobishyp's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm only second quarter and haven't worked in a hospital yet, only LTC, but I had the same thoughts- the chest pain, cough and fever are all being caused by the pneumonia, and since it takes awhile to...

  10. ADN-BSN paper

    suzw replied to montinurse's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Congrats! What's the dream

  11. What's the worst you've done on an exam?

    suzw replied to sjalv's topic in General Students

    I'm halfway through second quarter (5 exams per quarter) and my worst has been 88%. But I just took a Diabetes online quiz and scored 50% (4 wrong out of 8 questions!)- and I know the topic pretty...

  12. Young mom, nursing school

    suzw replied to Nursekidd1's topic in General Students

    Like ProfRN said, it may very well be easier to go to school while he is a baby. My daughter is 4, and I just started my second quarter. Made and A first quarter, but I sort of wish I had started...

  13. Getting a C in Nursing

    suzw replied to Annachu512's topic in General Students

    90 is not even an A- in our program, that would be a B. 80 is the absolute lowest score you can get, and that is a C. 79.9 is a C-. and

  14. Recording Lectures

    suzw replied to Fearless_leader's topic in General Students

    Our professors don't allow it, so make sure you check with yours before getting

  15. What is your grading scale?

    suzw replied to smoup's topic in General Students

    Oh yeah, forgot to mention, we have to average 80% or higher on exams to pass, no matter what the grades on assignments & clinicals

  16. What is your grading scale?

    suzw replied to smoup's topic in General Students

    Amazingly, every one of us passed (though a few were VERY close to being below 80%, which would = fail). 90 is only a B+ at our

  17. Ad on Craiglist for ghostwriter for nursing student

    suzw replied to tsm007's topic in General Students

    Would be hysterical if the instructor responded and busted

  19. Is it still possible to get into nursing school if i fail a class?

    suzw replied to msmith34's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was assuming it is too late to drop the class, but if it's not, you should do that if you think getting a D or F is inevitable. Check with your

  20. Do i still have a chance at getting to nursing school if i fail one class?

    suzw replied to msmith34's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    definitely make an appointment with your advisor to figure out the best course of

  21. Do i still have a chance at getting to nursing school if i fail one class?

    suzw replied to msmith34's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Some schools will let you retake a class, and once it's retaken, you can have the old grade replaced with the new one. You have to fill out a retake form, they don't do it automatically. It will have...

  22. What to review before starting ADN program?

    suzw posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hi all, I'm so excited to be able to officially post in the nursing student section (instead of pre-nursing, or nursing program sections). I start my ADN program in 2 weeks and I don't have my class...

  23. Don't have that much prereq's left. Taking only 2 classes this semester. Bad?

    suzw replied to caeduss's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It would be stupid to take classes you don't need when you could be working or volunteering instead. Maybe she doesn't understand that you are on track and doing what you are supposed to be doing to...

  24. What has been your favorite prerequisite?

    suzw replied to queserasera's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ugh, I had a horrible Ochem instructor, and I feel like I didn't learn very much useful. I like A&P because it made sense, and like ant2cory said, I sort of liked Stats, though I have forgotten...

  25. Is it okay to ask for letters of recommendation from CC professors?

    suzw replied to Get2theChoppa's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Absolutely, almost all of my rec letters came from CC professors. If the professor knows you, likes you, and you did well in her class, it should be fine. Some schools might prefer to see a letter...
