    Fireman767 replied to meg2014's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  6. Head Start

    Fireman767 replied to meg2014's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you can, take A&P over the summer. It lays the groundwork for all of nursing, so it would help greatly knowing it before you start. Otherwise, I can tell your going to be doing twice the...

    Fireman767 replied to gonnaB37nursedoc's topic in General Students

    Fireman767 replied to kvyates's topic in General Students

    people said the same thing about our pediatrics exams, it was just people who were jealous of the students who tried hard and got good grades trying to scare others. Ive been told the same about...

    Fireman767 replied to HeatherMax's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    on on side, you should know that generally people gruntled or upset with something will review it or vent about it. So most people who post a small line or post about hating it usually have their own...

    Fireman767 replied to truckinusa's topic in General Students

    You should check with the board of nursing. In some states they won't allow you to test for the PN while doing RN, since your taught things for RN (assessing, treatments, and such), and the board may...

  20. Premature Clinicals Question??

    Fireman767 replied to Xlorgguss's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Fireman767 replied to WorkingMama2011's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
