  1. Should I buy a nice stethoscope?

    ThatOneDude822 replied to arojumper's topic in General Students

    I have the classic III and a cheaper sprague stethoscope. They both get the job done, but the classic III is noticeably louder and much more sensitive, which is really nice in the loud hospitals. The...

  2. CSU Bakersfield Fall 2015 Nursing

    ThatOneDude822 replied to pocampo's topic in California Nursing

    Thanks, that was my plan too :) Also, I think the stuff for 262 is just going to be put on the 261

  3. CSU Bakersfield Fall 2015 Nursing

    ThatOneDude822 replied to pocampo's topic in California Nursing

    Hi guys. I was going through my packet to double (*cough* triple *cough* quadruple) check that I had everything, and I have a question about number 9 (proof of background check and drug test...

  4. CSU Bakersfield Fall 2015 Nursing

    ThatOneDude822 replied to pocampo's topic in California Nursing

    An email went out yesterday with the blackboard password, so anyone who hasn't yet can self-enroll and check out the syllabus/course calendar. Also, when I got to ATI's website, click on "My payments...

  5. How to do well on both the TEAS & the HESI.

    ThatOneDude822 replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't have any experience with HESI, since none of the schools around me accept it. But I have taken the TEAS twice, so hopefully I can help you there. I think the biggest things with the TEAS are...

  6. Ebook or Textbook?

    ThatOneDude822 replied to Injection Nurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I hate ebooks alone. If they come WITH the textbook (some books come with an acces code that includes the ebook), then it's okay to use as a supplement. In anatomy, my book came with an access code...

  7. Bad professor?

    ThatOneDude822 replied to KatFUTUREnurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had a professor that got similar reviews, but she ended up being one of my favorite professors and I got an A in her class. I say at least try it out :) The reviews on that website should be taken...

  8. CSU Bakersfield Fall 2015 Nursing

    ThatOneDude822 replied to pocampo's topic in California Nursing

    Reallynervous - I went to the shop on the Monday after the meet and greet and I haven't heard anything from them either. When I was there they said it would take about 2 weeks for them to come in. You...

  9. CSU Bakersfield Fall 2015 Nursing

    ThatOneDude822 replied to pocampo's topic in California Nursing

    At the meet and greet, they gave us the password to enroll in the Nurs 261 blackboard, and its on there listed under course materials. Also, Meg7272, I haven't gotten the BLS card yet. I called him...

  10. CSU Bakersfield Fall 2015 Nursing

    ThatOneDude822 replied to pocampo's topic in California Nursing

    I'm not sure if those books are going to be shipped to our house, or if they're going to be shipped to the school and then they'll give them to us. But I looked at the syllabus, and there only book...

  11. CSU Bakersfield Fall 2015 Nursing

    ThatOneDude822 replied to pocampo's topic in California Nursing

    If they have enrolled you in the classes already, then go to myCSUB and there will be a green button that says "order books" just to the left of your schedule. If they haven't enrolled you, go to...

  12. CSU Bakersfield Fall 2015 Nursing

    ThatOneDude822 replied to pocampo's topic in California Nursing

    I'm thinking about getting a Littmann Classic II S.E. I've heard they're good quality, and they're under $100 (even with a name engraving), so I figure it's a pretty good

  13. Is it just me, or is this rude, sexist, and condescending?

    ThatOneDude822 replied to RNdynamic's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If a guy is having an "emergency," it isn't always crucial for him to put the seat up. Even if they don't have the greatest "aim," there's also the option to sit. Women, on the other hand, don't have...

  14. Is it just me, or is this rude, sexist, and condescending?

    ThatOneDude822 replied to RNdynamic's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Sexist? No. Condescending, maybe. She could have approached it better and gone about it in a more professional way, but at the end of the day don't think it's a terribly difficult or demanding...

  15. Frontier Nursing University - Male Student Nurse Perspective

    ThatOneDude822 replied to FDmedicRN's topic in General Students

    I don't know anything about FNU specifically, but every school I know of does not offer extra points for admission due to sex/gender. Schools offer admission based on how well prepared a person is for...

  16. Fall semester pre reqs

    ThatOneDude822 replied to jennmonte076's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you have an iPad or iPhone, I recommend getting the You Doodle app for the anatomy part of A&P. It lets you draw on top of pictures. Take pictures of your lab models, use some sort of resource...

  17. Holy cow! My book total is how much?!

    ThatOneDude822 replied to MeiDei's topic in General Students

    I definitely understand this. I was just accepted to my university's BSN program for the fall, and the startup cost is crazy! In addition to the usual costs (uniform, background check, stethoscope,...

  18. High School Pre-Nursing

    ThatOneDude822 replied to Chrysilla's topic in General Students

    I took AP Bio in high school during my junior year thinking it would be super helpful. That wasn't the case for me. It didn't exempt me from any prereq courses, it simply gave me credits toward gen ed...

  19. What's next?

    ThatOneDude822 replied to Trades11234's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have you looked into the private universities? I think some of them are a little less picky about retakes and such. I know a lot of the CSUs only allow 1 science and 1 non-science retake, but seeing...

  20. CSU Bakersfield Fall 2015 Nursing

    ThatOneDude822 replied to pocampo's topic in California Nursing

    Yes, I basically just told them that I needed to get everything done for the nursing program and asked them to walk me through the process, and they knew what I was talking about. They're pretty...

  21. CSU Bakersfield Fall 2015 Nursing

    ThatOneDude822 replied to pocampo's topic in California Nursing

    Ok, let's try this again. I tried responding earlier, but my app crashed and lost everything! You have to have a NURSING physical, cbc, ua, titers, and TWO TB skin tests done. You can do this at your...

  22. Should I purposely fail my class?

    ThatOneDude822 replied to Rilesss's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was just accepted to CSUB's program starting Fall 2015. I see you've already gotten some advice whether to withdraw or take the D/F, so I won't touch on that too much. But I do want to let you know...

  23. Non Reactive Hep B Titer

    ThatOneDude822 replied to happyinmyheart's topic in General Students

    Same thing just happened to me. They told me they would call Monday (yesterday) if anything was abnormal. I didn't receive a phone call so I figured everything was good. I called them today to...

  24. APU vs SPU vs UPenn vs UCLA for BSN... where to go and what are my chances?

    ThatOneDude822 replied to kgiesch's topic in School, College Programs

    I don't know much about APU, SPU or UPenn, but I did look into UCLA a bit, as well as UC Irvine (I actually went through with applying to UCI). I got rejected to UCI, and honestly, I'm actually kind...

  25. CSU Bakersfield Fall 2015 Nursing

    ThatOneDude822 replied to pocampo's topic in California Nursing

    I *THINK* (not 100% sure, so don't quote me on this) they're sending one more wave of acceptances after the summer physiology class is over. If you're within the next 20, then that sounds like a good...
