    Hypothetical Situation

    NurseGirl525 replied to Bortaz's topic in General Nursing

    I would say, rumors get started all the time. I would ask if the wife or anyone else had proof. If they did not, I would continue my job as usual. If they did have proof that this did indeed happen,...

    Patients Cheeking medications

    NurseGirl525 replied to sdegracia's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    There could be reasons why they have visits that high. I know in my area walk in clinics don't take medicaid. So any time a person gets ill, they have to go to the ER. For any little reason. Lots...

    Failing...

    NurseGirl525 replied to CHENLIYANYI's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would ask myself why I got the D's. Are you doing this to please your mother and your heart's not really in it or are you not focused enough. Don't choose your career path based on someone else....

    is the TEAS exam really hard ???

    NurseGirl525 replied to andre5758's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I've been working on the practice tests and the science has by far been the hardest for me. The math is Algebra I level and the English and reading were also pretty simple. A lot of chemistry. So I...

    NurseGirl525 replied to funsizedprenurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did 5 classes last semester. Granted I don't work but I am a single mom so I had a lot on my plate. I had A&P II with micro last semester. I made it through just fine. I had to have...

    NurseGirl525 replied to Aspiringnurse13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    which commitment to drop for accelerated bsn application

    NurseGirl525 replied to olaureno's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with posters from above. Most schools don't care what school you graduated from. They will look at the requirements for your program. I have heard of some requiring volunteering but most...

    Is Anatomy and Physiology 2 harder or easier than A&P 1?

    NurseGirl525 replied to Dezi919's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I thought they were about the same. You will enjoy it in a 16 week session over an 8 week session. We did mostly memorizing the bones and muscles in I as well as learning about cells. In II we did...

    NurseGirl525 replied to happyheart15's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Looking for a nursing school

    NurseGirl525 replied to thehalfpast's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Are you going for a BSN or ADN? It really depends. I think a lot of CC go off a points system rather than cumulative GPA. The BSN programs I know of go off of cumulative GPA. I'm doing an ADN and...

    NurseGirl525 replied to Nurse_Cameron's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do you guys do a lottery system in CT? I am so glad I am not in one of those areas where they use a lottery system and huge wait lists. I think it is ridiculous. I would keep trying until I found a...

    NurseGirl525 replied to lovevolver's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Does CNA certification help?

    NurseGirl525 replied to pantherfan14's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It doesn't matter at my school. After the first semester, you can sit for you CNA test so I wouldn't waste my money if it's not required. I guess it just all depends on the

    NurseGirl525 replied to cassidysmith23's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Having a med term class helped me greatly with A&P. It helped me understand tons because you learn the latin roots of everything. It also helped me in micro. I took it 15 years ago and I still...
