  1. Vaccines Required for Nursing School

    ThatOneDude822 replied to Dahlia1694's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The Anti-HBs is also known as HBsAb (Hepatitis B surface Antibody). It is a blood draw to determine the level of Hep B antibodies in your blood. In other words, it determines if you're immune to Hep B...

  2. Opinions about nursing shoes.....

    ThatOneDude822 replied to Labor&delivery88's topic in General Students

    I have the unisex Landau shoes with the removable insoles. They are really squishy, and great for 12 hour shifts. I have flat feet, so my feet are usually in incredible pain after about 45-60 minutes...

  3. Accidently shared a test bank

    ThatOneDude822 replied to turok46368's topic in General Students

    Don't try to hide the situation. I agree with the P.P. - talk to the department and explain what happened - you got them from a tutor and had no knowledge that they were test bank questions. Part of...

  4. Taking a Year Off? Did not pass TEAS.

    ThatOneDude822 replied to Jsamonte036's topic in General Students

    Which review book did you use? I would recommend the official ATI TEAS manual. It's about $20-25 on Amazon for a new copy. If you look at your score report, it will actually give you specific page...

  5. 2 yr or 4 yr college path?

    ThatOneDude822 replied to danyoon1019's topic in General Students

    If I was in her shoes, NYU would be out so fast. I turned down my top 2 dream schools (both of which I was accepted to) because room and board was going to be $14K/yr. I come from a similar background...

  6. Should I work as a CNA before starting Nursing School?

    ThatOneDude822 replied to eleah2's topic in General Students

    I would wait a little bit, just because going into nursing school is stressful enough without having a pretty high stress job on top of it. Try getting used to nursing school, and then apply for work....

  7. When do hospital placements usually start for RN students

    ThatOneDude822 replied to bluestar776's topic in General Students

    I'm in a BSN program, and we started first quarter in fundamentals. The first five weeks of the term we were in skills lab, then the last five weeks we were on the floor in the

  8. How many clinical rotations do you have?

    ThatOneDude822 replied to meganec17's topic in General Students

    Mine looks a little weird because my sophomore year started out on quarters, but next year (my junior year) the whole university is making the switch to semesters. This is a BSN program btw (the...

  9. Looking for Stethoscope Recommendations

    ThatOneDude822 replied to NMGirl14's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I have a littmann classic III and it does everything I need for school, and can continue to use it when I graduate. You can't go wrong with the classic ii s.e. either. I wouldn't even consider a...

  10. For Those of You Who Were Accepted Into BSN Programs With No CNA Experience

    ThatOneDude822 replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in General Students

    My school didn't give that much weight to volunteering or previous experience. They use a point system, and previous experience only awarded 3 extra points (just to put that in perspective, being a...

  11. Titers for Admission

    ThatOneDude822 replied to CodeBrownQueen's topic in General Students

    Although you will have to check with your school for their policy and clinical site policies, it wouldn't surprise me if you have to get it. My Hep B was non-reactive and I had to schedule an...

  12. Owning a dog while in nursing school- really stressed out!

    ThatOneDude822 replied to joytotheworld21's topic in General Students

    I think, first and foremost, you HAVE to set aside some time to spend with your dog when you are home. When you get home from clinical, play ball or something with your dog for an hour or so. On your...

  13. Pharmacology before Nursing school?

    ThatOneDude822 replied to hstutz86's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you have taken physiology and pathophysiology, then I think you should be fine taking it early. I would say you need at least those two classes though, because you need to understand the disease...

  14. Too young for nursing school?

    ThatOneDude822 replied to Futurenurse1997's topic in General Students

    I turned 19 just weeks before I started my BSN program. As long as you won't be bothered by people calling you the "baby" of the class (jokingly) you'll be

  15. Scored 95.3% on TEAS V

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

    Congrats! I remember the shock when I retook it about a year ago and got 94. I definitely made me at least a LITTLE bit more comfortable waiting for nursing school decision

  16. Medical Terminology Course?

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

    My program doesn't require med term, but I took it anyway. I don't think it was terribly useful. I have never really ran into a situation where I thought "wow, I sure am glad I took that med term...

  17. Anyone else a planner nerd?

    ThatOneDude822 replied to AshBuggin's topic in General Students

    Erin Condren planners are SO pretty. I've wanted one since I first heard about then a year or so ago. I just can't personally justify forking over $50-70 for one since 9 times out of 10, my planners...

  18. Done with first semester!

    ThatOneDude822 replied to Dd04321's topic in General Students

    Congrats to everyone finishing up their quarter/semester! I finished my first quarter of my BSN program in November. I laughed, I learned, I met great people, and there were definitely tears (anyone...

  19. Fundamentals of Nursing ?

    ThatOneDude822 replied to EmKayy18's topic in General Students

    I just finished fundamentals a few weeks ago. It's some "CNA type skills" like vitals, but you will also learn basic nursing skills. You will learn to assess patients (especially in the form of a...

  20. Going into Pre-nursing after high-school

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

    I'm just starting my 2nd quarter of nursing school, so I'll do my best to answer some of your questions. But hopefully someone with some more experience than myself can come and offer you a more...

  21. No minimum score for entry test?

    ThatOneDude822 replied to LPNtoRNin2016OH's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm curious what their logic is behind that. I would also stress out more NOT knowing. I have never heard of this. My school admits on a point system (where you get a certain amount for points for...

  22. Advice background check

    ThatOneDude822 replied to Stephanie1123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not entirely sure of the answer, but what I CAN say is that if I was in your situation I would talk to my nursing adviser (I always start out by asking my adviser any questions I have). If (s)he...

  23. color of clinical scrubs?

    ThatOneDude822 replied to OnlinePersona's topic in General Students

    We wear light blue, which still shows stains pretty badly. The ADN program here (different school) wears red tops and black bottoms, I think. None of our programs wear all

  24. Starting Clinicals Soon... What Do I Need?

    ThatOneDude822 replied to tayryden's topic in General Students

    Smart idea! I tried doing this as well, but couldn't find the folding clipboards, so I broke down and dished out the money for a WhiteCoat (my school sold them for $25). If you can find the clipboard,...

  25. Starting Clinicals Soon... What Do I Need?

    ThatOneDude822 replied to tayryden's topic in General Students

    I'm starting my second semester (well... quarter) as well :) We did clinicals our first quarter, though. You are DEFINITELY going to need a clipboard. I personally got a folding clipboard. The one O...
