    Does everyone have a conscience?

    NurseGirl525 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Let me explain to you why you and your comments are considered racist in my opinion. I never, ever judge someone based on their race or where they live. I do judge people. But I judge them based on...

    Does everyone have a conscience?

    NurseGirl525 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    This person is a very prejudicial, judgmental person. You generalize people from every culture. I really hope all of your stories are not real and this is just to troll a nursing site. If I was...

    Which one did you do while in Nursing school?

    NurseGirl525 replied to Mchs4735's topic in General Students

    I usually don't touch my books on the weekends. But I also have not had a class on a Monday yet either, but I will this fall. The only time I ever worked on school on the weekends was if I had a big...

    Is this right?

    NurseGirl525 replied to kariace's topic in General Students

    You are not understanding how this works. You cannot take English 102 based on an ACT score. English 101 is going to be a prereq to 102. That is a requirement. Many BSN programs make you take...

    Advice Needed: When is it time to pursue something else?

    NurseGirl525 replied to amelissa's topic in General Students

    Oh, I completely agree with that. I do not think her GPA is terrible. But, I also feel because she is young and has tunnel vision on how to become a nurse, it may not be for her. The rest of my...

    Advice Needed: When is it time to pursue something else?

    NurseGirl525 replied to amelissa's topic in General Students

    So, if I am understanding correctly, you are only wanting to go to certain schools? Why can you not apply at others? You have tunnel vision if you ask me. I'm not going to sugarcoat things and tell...

    Aside from the price... is Chamberlain a good school?

    NurseGirl525 replied to TEXN's topic in Chamberlain College

    In my area, attending a for profit school will get your resume thrown in the trash. Very few are accredited here. Each campus will have it's own individual accreditation so you need to look at that....

    When do going back to school STOP!!

    NurseGirl525 replied to tlklvn13's topic in General Nursing

    According the OP's rationale, a medical assistant should be able to work up to a physician by on the job training? Seriously? A CNA, RN, and NP are completely different jobs. Scopes of practice are...

    Flaring Up

    NurseGirl525 posted a topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I have fibro and have done very well with keeping it under control since being in school. I've made sure to get plenty of sleep and been avoiding prednisone and antibiotics like the plague because...

    Comfortable living?

    NurseGirl525 replied to Kdao's topic in General Nursing

    Are you already paying these expenses, or are you just guesstimating for now? When I moved out after high school I got a cheap, one bedroom, tiny apt. I made sure utilities were included. $500 is...

    Failed Pharmacology

    NurseGirl525 replied to ymillares's topic in General Students

    I'm confused on how you are in the nursing program and some are on campus and some are not. I know there are online programs but those are generally ADN-BSN programs. Do you not have a cohort? And...

    Clinical sites, you choose or you're assigned?

    Assigned. They try to take where we live in

    Coursera

    NurseGirl525 replied to cracklingkraken's topic in General Students

    I don't think it is. Coursera is working towards that goal of being recognized, but they are not yet. I have taken several courses on there for my own personal knowledge. My favorite being...

    Second Semester: Done!!

    NurseGirl525 posted a topic in General Students

    My second semester is done and in the books. 2 As and 3 Bs. I will take it. Two of those Bs missed As by less than a point. Still, I'm ok with it. This semester was so very stressful with MedSurg...

    Ivy Tech LPN-ASN Spring 2016

    NurseGirl525 replied to blondieblonde's topic in School, College Programs

    That's all that is required for the transition program? Or are you applying for both LPN and ASN? I would think you would be ok with those grades but I don't know how many people are applying. A...

    NurseGirl525 replied to ParaBandAider's topic in General Students

    I have a cousin who is a firefighter/paramedic. Her plan is to go to nursing school when she retires. She is eligible in the next couple of years I think. She absolutely loves her job now, but...

    My advice- don't go there!! Run away from that school as fast as you

    Failed A Course...

    NurseGirl525 replied to Kyliemb's topic in General Students

    Where, oh, where to begin. So, you filed charges. Was anything done? Did you win your case? Was your school reprimanded? You, have to prove that you were discriminated against. Just filing...

    Failed A Course...

    NurseGirl525 replied to Kyliemb's topic in General Students

    To be honest, by filing discrimination charges, you should just consider yourself done at this school. Hopefully you had real evidence of discrimination, not what you put in here. You wrote you felt...

    Microbiology unknown - Neisseria tests?

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

    We did ours at the end of the semester after we had done all of the testing labs. With a key, you will start at whether it is gram positive or negative, then whether it is a bacilli or cocci, then...

    Microbiology unknown - Neisseria tests?

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

    Are you not required to use a dichotomous key? We had to. I'm thinking you are not going to find gonorrhea around a drain of a drinking fountain. You should have performed all the tests you need...

    How to best prepare

    NurseGirl525 replied to Trusty13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Know that CA is a very impacted state right now and you will most likely spend years trying to get in a program. The unemployed new grad rate in CA hovers around 47%. Just some good for

    Internship/Externship need CNA license?

    NurseGirl525 replied to mariarose's topic in General Students

    Why not just get it after completing the fundamentals course. In my area, they don't accept students until they have completed their first year. You may be applying a little early. You are however,...

    NurseGirl525 replied to ilikecorgis's topic in General Students

    Hey, it's your money. If you want to keep flushing it down the toilet, it's your call. Retaking all those classes costs money. You are currently failing A&P. Your response that you will simply...

    Failing a&p this summer. Bad GPA. What now?

    NurseGirl525 replied to ilikecorgis's topic in General Students

    I think you need a reality check here. Find another profession. The prereqs are the easy part of school. Your GPA is very low and you are failing one of the main prereqs. A&P is the foundation...
