    Microbiology : Lesser Evil

    rob4546 replied to AspiringNurseMW's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just a question, did you take biology in high school or college biology? I took college biology before I took Microbiology and felt like a majority of the classes were similar. The labs were...

    My first class starts Monday... Wow, I am excited! Hope I can get this done with family and work. I read that I will have access to the class the night before (Sunday). How do I tell if the...

    Is SNA office worth it?

    rob4546 replied to cameronc's topic in General Students

    Keep in mind, this is just my opinion.... I have been told that it is great for a resume and I have heard many reasons why. After sitting through a couple of interviews for the position I hold now I...

    How do you feel about nursing?

    rob4546 replied to m_n_b_96's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So how do you feel about the color blue? Really kind of the same question. It would be better for me to ask what you feel about nursing. Have you shadowed a nurse for a shift or too? Yes,there is...

    Getting lots of SATA???

    rob4546 replied to NewYorkerGirl's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I am very happy you passed. I want to correct some information for later reference. All SATA questions are not passing level questions. There are all levels of SATA questions. Either way, you...

    rob4546 replied to weebarra73's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I started my journey to be a nurse when I was 41 and ended up top of the class and happily gainfully employed in a wonderful position. I think we have a leg up because of increased life experience...

    And just a little advice, get to know these because they will pop up every once in a while. Also know Maslow's hierarchy of needs, you will base most of your decisions on

    6 Hour Lecture?!

    rob4546 replied to NiftyGirl2014's topic in General Students

    Snack, snacks, snacks.... I hated these days. If you are offered a break, take it. Just stand, walk outside for some fresh air, or do jumping

    rob4546 replied to tokmom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Oh crap, not that. Reminds me of the capstone project/questions we had to answer for my ADN. 80 pages of what seemed like hieroglyphics that took 3 instructors to decipher. It could have been a...

    RN to BSN online programs

    rob4546 replied to SCcountrygirlRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Really look into the classes you will be required to take to graduate. When I looked around I found that GCU made more sense to me because other programs required me to take many, many more classes....

    I have seen the other GCU popular post started by FLAMES, it is nearing 113 pages. I hope I will have less reading in my classes than I am going to have catching up with these posts! Speaking of the...

    For those who fail NCLEX

    rob4546 replied to scaredsilly's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Like this post a lot!!! Hope people find this and take it to heart. When people fail they assume they need to find a better source that will help them pass, but in reality they need a better...

    wrong results!!

    rob4546 replied to dream3810's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    We are going to compare a mistake with a machine that stuffs envelopes with the need to pay to take the NCLEX again because of a previous fail. Not to be rude, but there is no correlation between the...

    Advice needed!! Lazy peer!

    rob4546 replied to KStudentNurse70's topic in General Students

    What to say here...... Can't say what I want to say due to terms of service, so I will just say.... In no way would I give her anything! You have to understand A&P to understand nursing school....

    rob4546 replied to tokmom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    So I just graduated in May, passed the NCLEX in early June, and was hired in late June. I guess I was bored or something and told myself "nursing school was so much fun, I need more of that" and...

    PVT New Trick?

    rob4546 replied to FlorCenicerosTorre's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    No problem. From most of the recent posts I believe that the "NEW" PVT is utterly useless in determining pass or fail. Just wait for the quick results if Texas allows them. Relax for now, there is...

    rob4546 replied to futurenurse669's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    From all the recent posts I think the "NEW" PVT is utterly useless in determining pass or fail. There have been some that have gotten the good pop up and failed and donated 200.00 to Pearson Vue to...

    What's a break room? In school I never new there was such a thing, kind of like a mythological creature. Something like the Quadicorn... First week with students on my floor, have to say I am...

    PVT New Trick?

    rob4546 replied to FlorCenicerosTorre's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The 28 questions must be a typo because the minimum amount of questions anyone sees on the NCLEX-RN is 75. No trick, new or old, is reliable. The new trick seems even more unreliable than the first...

    How do I remove makeup stains from my nursing school uniform?

    rob4546 replied to LadyK90's topic in General Students

    It amazes me that programs still use white for scrub colors...... Make-up is the least of what could stain them on a MED/SURG floor. Glad you were able to get the stain

    rob4546 replied to NeoNatMom's topic in General Students

    This sums it up pretty well. I would like to take it a step further. No matter what you get on the first exam take the emotion out of it and relax. Use the exam as a blue print on how to study for...

    Winging the NCLEX

    rob4546 replied to noemi04's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    When I look back I believe I could have taken the NCLEX without all the prep I tackled. For the most part I only answered questions with very little content review. I answered about 200 to 250...

    What does X grain mean

    rob4546 replied to Avis's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is a small list where 1 grain equals 65 mg but I do remember that aspirin and iron are in that list. Just like everyone said above it is apothecary units where 1 grain equals 60 mg (except for...
