    Repeated Classes

    Kuriin replied to jasminenicole19's topic in General Students

    Yep. I withdrew from statistics 2 or 3 times before taking it again and getting an A. Sometimes life gets in the way and there are times you can explain it getting into school or employment. I would...

    One class per semester?

    Kuriin replied to shanam's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The simple answer to your question: Yes, they can and do expire. Nursing schools like to have your courses within 5 years (I believe it's 5 years), otherwise, you must retake

    Tips for really strict clinical instructor?

    Kuriin replied to Kiki<3's topic in General Students

    Some schools don't do prelab the day before while others do it the day of. When you're in your capstone preceptorship, you don't hours to prelab...just the 30 or so minutes before the shift. And as...

    Is an accelerated BSN worth $87K?

    Kuriin replied to KJet5's topic in General Students

    I think people are forgetting that getting an ADN is often more competitive than a BSN. So, those who suggest to get an ADN for cheaper reasons, just know that in a lot of areas, people won't get...

    Kuriin replied to carabear1028's topic in General Students

    This makes zero sense. LPN and RN have different scopes of practice, so finishing "one year" of RN school =! qualification of a LPN. I just checked the requirements for Virginia and you must have...

    Do grades have an impact after you've graduated from nursing school?

    Kuriin replied to gyp13sy's topic in General Students

    New grad programs require transcripts. Other than that, no, not

    I think the OP is thinking of sitting for CNA certification which you can sit for after a couple of semesters of RN

    Can I still be a good nurse if I'm bad at math?

    Kuriin replied to Lorna234558's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    OP, most of the math involves only one formula (volume over hr) to get the specified rate. Really the only time you may have other formulas is when you start getting into critical care or pediatrics...

    How do I get over the discouragment of not doing skills in clinical?

    Kuriin replied to nevergiveup2016's topic in General Students

    I didn't do many if any skills until my preceptorship. Then I got to do an OG, NG, Foley, and IV (x10/day) multiple times. Heck, a lot of my classmates had never even attempted a blood draw in their...

    Are test banks allowed if the professor doesn't use them

    Kuriin replied to wendy2016's topic in General Students

    Lets take a step back and think about this -- a test bank? A test bank from a book with hundreds and hundreds of questions? Case in point: Pediatric Success: A Q&A Review Applying Critical...

    Err...you do realize nursing schools used to and (some still do) allow the students to do every single skill on each other? NG, Foley, IV insertions, etc. To the OP: When we had to do our head to...

    Appealing a grade

    Kuriin replied to Hdrodlady's topic in General Students

    Again, I don't believe you have any merit to appeal. Teachers regularly will change the weight of assignments. The best suggestion I have for you is to discuss with the teacher that it would be fair...
