    Statistics online

    Irish_Mist replied to Jenjer003's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would honestly recommend taking statistics in person simply because of the type of class it is. I took it on campus and had a wonderful experience. It can get rather overwhelming especially if...

    Are you married sweetie?"

    Irish_Mist replied to Nurse-84's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    That is so freakin rude! For the very reason you stated above, I never ask someone if they are pregnant even if I suspect it. Also, its none of my damn business and if they wanted to know, they would...

    What good does a BS RN with state licensure if no credible hospital will hire you?

    Irish_Mist replied to careheartntexas's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    mrfuturern, I live in the DFW as does my friend who is an RN-BSN. She too had a DWI. She hired a lawyer to help her get it "cleared up" and she was able to sit for the NCLEX. She is also gainfully...

    Are you married sweetie?"

    Irish_Mist replied to Nurse-84's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm not a nurse yet but thought I'd share my 2 cents. I think most patients more than likely don't mean any harm when asking nurses these questions. It is just a way to break the ice or just make...

    What order should I take my classes?

    Irish_Mist posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am going to apply to Baylor University's ABSN program. In order to apply, I have to have a certain number of prerequisites completed (3 of the 4 science classes). Here is what I have so far: I am...

    Online Stats

    Irish_Mist replied to BSNinprogress22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am by no means a math genius but I did a lot better in Stats than I thought I would (I made a B). I took this class in a classroom setting. I would highly advise you to re-consider taking stats...

    How old were you when starting prereqs and did it discourage you?

    Carolina, Which accelerated BSN program did you do? I'm wanting to do Baylor University's ABSN

    How old were you when starting prereqs and did it discourage you?

    Irish_Mist replied to princesax11's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My thought process is that it is never too late to get an education or pursue your dreams. You are not on anyone else's timetable but your own. If someone has something to say about your age, tell...

    BE CAREFUL on social networks

    Irish_Mist replied to Chico David's topic in General Nursing

    I am not a nurse (yet) but I would just like to give kudos to Chico David RN for posting this. So many people lack common sense in the social media arena and I think his post brings a lot of awareness...

    Looking for Human Anatomy w/Lab Online

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

    The Dallas County Community College does Human Anatomy and Physiology online. I believe they mail you a lab kit. I am enrolled for A&P1 in the Summer 2 session at North Lake College (part of the...

    Help! What is the line where family members are banned from the facility?

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

    Wrong choice of words or not, the person should have been arrested. I find it inexcusable to hit anyone and a citation would have not cut it for me if I were to have been the one

    Mercy School of Nursing Charlotte, NC Evening Program Information?

    Irish_Mist replied to futurern1515's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Why don't you talk to an adviser in the college of nursing department and ask what type of grades they're looking for? They should be able to give you some hint on how competitive your grades are. I...

    Irish_Mist replied to TKeith8109's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Most nursing schools I've looked into could care less about your overall GPA. They wanted a high prerequisite GPA. Meaning, you could have taken certain classes like Art History, Geology, etc and it...

    Things to know for Hesi test!

    Irish_Mist replied to melbby92's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    Is the HESI test done on a computer or on a scantron "paper and pencil" format? I'm planning on taking it this summer. My school only counts the English and Math portions but you can only take the...

    I am having a hard time getting into a Nursing school.

    Irish_Mist replied to NSEEK's topic in School, College Programs

    Listen to Samist when he/she says "don't listen to this". People on this board can be somewhat discouraging even if it just them trying to be honest or realistic. If you REALLY want to be a nurse,...

    I am having a hard time getting into a Nursing school.

    Irish_Mist replied to NSEEK's topic in School, College Programs

    I don't live in New York City or know the statistics but I would imagine competition is really high getting into nursing school in that area. I doubt the nursing schools care about your GPA for your...

    Favorite CNA skills/tasks to do?

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

    I am not a CNA but I just wanted to tell you I think what you're doing/your outlook is awesome. I'm sure the residents greatly appreciate your compassion and eagerness to help. Even if they always...

    I will never be a nurse. Should I just change my major?

    Irish_Mist replied to Jaurelus93's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It sounds like you had a lot of hard stuff to deal with. That in combination with the heavy course load for nursing pre-reqs is definitely a recipe for disaster. Distractions are just not conducive...
