Okay so this may sound ridiculous, maybe I am over thinking this, anyway for some reason I don't understand the differences between a PEG Tube, G Tube, J Tube and GJ Tube. Like why would a patient need a PEG Tube over a G/J/GJ Tube? Anyone want to sh...

My instructor used PEG and G Tube loosely. As in as if they were the same thing. So a PEG Tube is meant for long term use and a G Tube is meant for a shorter term use? I think my main question is why would a patient have a G Tube over a PEG? I unders...

I have no idea if this is the right category but here it goes. I am from NJ, and I am looking to transfer to my first choice college I wanted to attend all along which is URI (University of Rhode Island). It has a great Nursing program and I wanted t...

ohhhh I thought it was like the same exam, but after you passed it you earn a license in that state. Thanks you guys!

Currently, since I am serious about school (I learned the hard way in the beginning) I have a 3.2 GPA. My first year of college I had like a 2.4 GPA because I didn't take any of my classes seriously and I went to frat parties all the time. I think yo...

A&P I & II are both generally difficult classes. Taking I is the core of it, you get thrown so much info and expected to memorize a lot. A&P II is the building block onto I. Hopefully, by the time you get to II you will comprehend most of...

I want to go into peds nursing. I feel as if I am able to communicate better with children because of my silliness. I am currently an EMT and I actually get called into work if it is a peds transport because I am able to handle peds cases very well. ...

Thanks for all of your feedback! All is great information! I like the cartoon scrubs comment! Sounds like it can be very tricky working with adolescents. Moreover, question is: Would you recommend peds nursing? Also, how often is there usually adole...

taking psych, eng comp II and intermediate algebra. Yeah, I know. Not taking A&P in the summer. Each summer semester is 1 month. I wont be able to retain any A&P in a month and pass it with a 85%

I'm going for my ADN because I dont have the expenses for a 4 year college right now. However, once I get my ADN and work for a few years, I'll go back to school to get my BSN. I hear some hospitals will help pay for you to get your BSN... idk my aun...

How I memorize is verbalizing aloud and writing it down as I say it. Works like a charm for me.

If you go to a 2 yr college you will get your associates in nursing. You will take the pre reqs and then try to get accepted in the nursing program you want. Mind you it is very competitive and you should stive to get at least a 3.5 GPA. It's hard bu...

Oh the irony lol I hear that's a good school. Thank You! You as well.

Okay, so I still need to finish my pre reqs to send in my Nursing School App. However, I have a problem: Complex Partial Seizures. They are not fully controlled and I get them every now and then. I get them during class sometimes and I am scared that...

Awesome!!!! Cograts on being seizure free that long! It's actually a huge accomplishment for us!!! The last one was on Saturday, so I kinda keep getting my license taken away. Sucks, but what can you do. Spent some time in the hospital, nothing new. ...

Thank You!!!!!!!! Grand Mal's are no fun. You feel like you ran a marathon and you body is falling apart afterwards! I feel you! Are you taking anti seizure meds now or no? The reason you couldnt pass the physical was because you were having seizures...

Yeah, I don't want to say ignorance... because that just makes me sound mean. However, there are a lot of people who judge someone from what they see but they dont fully understand what it is. My cousin has bipolar and he never tells anyone (not that...

Thank you, that means a lot.

Gotcha, that makes sense. Thanks for the info

I know that where I am, if you get your associates in nursing, the work at a hospital and you actually strive there, the hospital will invest for you to get you BSN. My aunt told me that's how she got her BSN. It could be dependent on hospitals or ev...

That is a great idea actually. More positive recommendations the better maybe!

My neurologist says I am able to anything that any other person would do other than driving for 8 more months. Heck, she could just be saying that to raise my self esteem! Haha. Hypothetically, should I be cleared medically, and should I have an epis...
