  1. Remind me to just deal with it/Venting.

    studentbear replied to Autymnfyres's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think this may just be the community college you are experiencing. The one I attend is clean and up-to-date. It's a beautiful campus with lots to offer, although it is somewhat small. Parking can be...

  2. Statistics

    studentbear replied to mmcc01's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Try to learn as much vocabulary as you can early on in the term, it will make the problems easier to read and

  3. Please, don't be "that" aide.

    studentbear replied to mstearns09's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Sounds like you have a difficult coworker, but everyone has experienced working with that person at their facility. It's simply a fact of working in this field, unfortunately. You're always going to...

    studentbear replied to Joe V's topic in News, Announcements

    "I'd like a portrait of my doc here, because after my wife sees the bill he sent, she's gonna kill

  5. I'm seriously debating to drop anatomy class

    studentbear replied to funsizedprenurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You're SO close to that B! It sounds like the teachers are where the main issue lies as it seems they are inconsistent. Have you spoken to the department head regarding this? Have you tried different...

  6. Venting (can the nursing field be fun?)

    studentbear replied to PrettyNerd's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Why don't you apply for a CNA job at the hospital or in a skilled nursing

  7. Need advice: Pre-Nursing Student changing her mind.

    studentbear replied to SweetiePie26's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's rather unnecessarily unkind,

  8. Buying New books from Amazon?

    studentbear replied to emde's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As long as you search by ISBN number, you should be fine. I usually go to Half.com for textbooks first and if they don't have it, Amazon is my next best bet. It's nice because you have the option of...

  9. Will these classes be too much together?

    studentbear replied to Shantae14's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That sounds pretty intense! Only you will know if you can handle

  10. Got a question and want to see what you guys think

    studentbear replied to amandapanda2011's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've had TB tests done numerous times and that sounds similar to how mine usually goes. I've never tested positive for TB

  11. How long were your pre-reqs?

    studentbear replied to Sassenach's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At my school, there are 7 pre-reqs. English composition, lifespan psych (pre-req: psych 100), intro to chem, microbiology (pre-req: intro to biology), A&P 1 and A&P 2, statistics (if tested...

  12. Piercings and Nursing

    studentbear replied to Wootenn's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'd wait until you secure a job first. Each facility has policies on piercings/tattoos, so it would depend on where you plan on working. From a safety stand point, a microdermal sounds like something...

  13. Favorite nursing student blogs

    studentbear posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey, I'm looking for some nursing student blogs that chronicle a student's experience through prenursing and nursing school, because it's so motivational. I really enjoyed reading Sweetapril's blog,...

    studentbear replied to studentbear's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've watched some of Rona004's videos and I really love them! I'll check out juliannehola

  15. Do you have to have a 4.0 to get in ?

    studentbear replied to crunchymama91's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it really depends on where you live. At my school, their minimum GPA requirement is a 3.0 and the lowest GPA for their last cohort was a 3.7! So, all of us pre-nursing students aim to get...

  16. Medical Terminology / It's not that easy?

    studentbear replied to lovesicles's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your class is exactly how mine was-- what textbook are you using? I recommend getting Stedman's medical terminology flash cards. It includes lots of terms (800), and although it's not all of the terms...

  17. question about "cutters"

    studentbear replied to sarasmith805's topic in Psychiatric

    I'm not yet a nurse, but I just wanted to say that I hope you have positive experiences from now on with your colleagues and other nurses. I have a history of cutting, too, and sometimes the reactions...

  18. Not sure what route to take...nursing or buisness admin?

    studentbear replied to CookieDoodle's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    With a nursing degree, you could potentially do healthcare business admin. But with a business admin degree, you couldn't do nursing. Something to think

    studentbear replied to 16mm's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Khanacademy.com would be very helpful, check it

  21. Staying organized

    studentbear posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey, I've been using my iCal and Homework+ apps on my iPhone to keep myself organized, but I've been thinking about switching to a regular diary planner. I'd love to hear how everyone stays organized...

  22. Should I take medical terminology (not req'd)?

    studentbear replied to anichka's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I found medical terminology very useful, because I've been able to use it already. For example, my friend was telling me she went to the doctor and the different possible diagnoses.. I had a fairly...

  23. Should I Even Try Becoming An RN?

    studentbear replied to Leahwannabe's topic in General Students

    Come January, the FAFSA will become available for the 2014-2015 school year. DO IT. This is the key to getting federal funding. Also, many scholarship entities will request your FAFSA, so it's good to...

  24. Studen Loans Question!

    studentbear replied to sharonanderson24's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ah, that's true. If you have good credit, private loans can be a better option. But I though Sallie Mae's interest rates recently went

  25. Pre-nursing job options?

    studentbear replied to olagaton's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Work-study is amazing! I do an on-campus job that is pretty unrelated to the medical field, but off campus can be great for work
