    A&P I & II + Microbiology for one semester

    Irish_Mist replied to sunshine&shots's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't do it! My community college where I'm taking prerequisites offers a condensed semester of A&P1 to complete in the first half of the semester with A&P2 completed in the last half. I have...

    Failed anatomy and physiology course...questioning my choices

    Irish_Mist replied to dsh0012's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Olivia, I am so glad that my post helped you! You don't necessarily need to do A&P at a different college. Check out Rate My Professors – Review Professors and Teachers, School Reviews, College...

    Conflict with a coworker

    Irish_Mist replied to phlebo2rn's topic in General Students

    THIS. It is unprofessional and rude. By the way, I've seen your posts on various threads and I love your no-nonsense, intelligent insights. Just thought I'd throw that out there,

    Failed anatomy and physiology course...questioning my choices

    Irish_Mist replied to dsh0012's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Are you KIDDING me? That is unprofessional, rude and incredibly deameaning. You need to report him to the Dean. Professors are supposed to set their students up for success; not tear them down. Not...

    Failed anatomy and physiology course...questioning my choices

    Irish_Mist replied to dsh0012's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Please do yourself a favor and only pursue a career path that YOU want and not your parents or anyone else. Upon evaluating your goals and dreams and should you decide you want to be a nurse, pick...

    Who is Excited About Human Cadaver Dissections?!?

    Irish_Mist replied to whealer's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just finished A&P1 and am taking A&P2 next semester. Let me tell ya... I would just LOVE the opportunity to participate in a human cadaver dissection. This sounds like a very exciting...

    The student loan bubble is starting to burst

    Irish_Mist replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So your advice for anyone with mounting student loan debt is to move to North Dakota and work for Sears? Because that is just such a viable option for so many people. Do you know how much it costs to...

    Just need to put this out there. (venting)

    Irish_Mist replied to AtomicxKitten's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Wow! I totally feel your pain. I've worked with my share of people with bad attitudes. I can totally relate. I know it is so hard to not be bothered by this attitude of this woman but the best thing...

    Help with A&P

    Irish_Mist replied to amberdawn85's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Private message me with your email address and I'll send you something I think might help greatly. If you'd prefer I give you my email address instead, that's

    Family not supportive

    Irish_Mist replied to ER_RNdreams's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My only barrier is finishing these dang prerequisites. I am finishing an unrelated bachelors degree next month. I am taking four classes: A&P1, Texas Government, Spanish, and Marriage &...

    Will these classes be too much together?

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

    I would strongly reconsider this. A&P 2 and O Chem will overload you enough already without adding three additional

    Best way to become a nurse if I already have my Bachelor's?

    Irish_Mist replied to ManNurselol's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Not every ABSN requires a high overall GPA. The schools I looked into, as far as GPA is concerned, care only about your prerequisite GPA. Meaning, so long as you have a good GPA for your...

    Learning the Skeletal System

    Irish_Mist replied to soingal's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm sorry but who in the you-know-what does your instructor think he is? Is he a nurse? As a professor, he should be encouraging his students and setting them up for success. Telling them they aren't...

    That's awesome!!!!!!

    Patient abuse... To staff

    Irish_Mist replied to lmccrn62's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    lmccrn62, If only every employee could have a boss like you. You sound like the type of boss that watches out for your employees versus one with "the customer is always right" mentality. I don't think...

    Fired before I even started

    Irish_Mist replied to eelise11's topic in General Nursing

    Be glad you don't work there! You definitely dodged a bullet. You'll find something so much better in the long run. {{{{hugss}}}} Talk about high school/middle school antics. Writing about this on...

    Muslim Nurse aide

    Irish_Mist replied to daimere's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Agree with this 100%. It is called reasonable accomodation without undue hardship for a reason. It would not be reasonable to excuse this woman from so many of the core functions of her job just...

    What did/do you dissect in A&P lab?

    Irish_Mist replied to __patiently_waiting's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm with you on this, lorirn2b. I am a huge animal lover and advocate and the thought of having to dissect a cat breaks my heart. I am taking A&P1 this semester. As of now, I don't think we are...

    Anyone else taking Statistics this fall?

    Irish_Mist replied to bluesky94's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No, we did not use any TI calculators. Our class used Excel for the bulk of our tests, quizzes and homework

    Anyone else taking Statistics this fall?

    Irish_Mist replied to bluesky94's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you tested out of taking intermediate algebra, you should be fine. I'm not exactly a math person and I didn't have a hard time in Statistics. Get comfortable using Excel. In fact, Excel was my best...

    Forceful opinions

    Irish_Mist replied to mmcc26's topic in General Students

    Ahhh. Unsolicited advice. That is what I call it. Most "solicitors of unwanted advice" often have no clue what they're talking about and are opinionated to boot. Seriously. Some people have an opinion...

    Just started A&P1

    Irish_Mist posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I must say, I was (and still kind of am) scared to death of this class. My fear is slowly turning into fascination. I am constantly re-thinking concepts that I've learned and read. It really is a lot...

    Fired!

    Irish_Mist replied to LandD_RN_chica's topic in General Nursing

    That is a dangerous way to think especially if a true bullying situation is taking place. If not, it is constructive. Without making assumptions about you, have you ever been the victim of true...

    Is this cheating?

    Irish_Mist replied to Alisonisayoshi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't worry about what this person does. Focus all of your energy on doing well in the math class. It might be infuriating but your hard work and effort will pay off in the long

    Sallie Mae Student Loan, Fixed or Variable?

    Irish_Mist replied to Wonvie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do what you think is right. My advice: Reconsider. 130K is just way too much for a degree. You don't want to be saddled with that kind of debt especially if you don't get a job immediately or soon...
