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

    It's possible to work full time around your school schedule. You will be very, very busy though. If it's an accelerated program, you will be asked to NOT

    Kuriin replied to inkkedandproud86's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Puppy and nursing school?

    Kuriin replied to arightnurse3465's topic in General Students

    I got a puppy in the beginning of my 3rd year. I lasted about 6 days with her (though I do regret it) because I literally could NOT study. Granted, we have two older dogs and they are dachshunds, so...

    Do they teach CPR in nursing school?

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

    That's not a funny thing. That's how it is for pretty much every school. Do it online and then do skills in

    What is supposed to be the hardest year?

    Need help with nursing interventions.

    Try and think of something else for psychosocial. Your patient just had a resection of his or her colon. How would that make you feel? What makes you think this is knowledge

    Are orders needed for dressing changes? QI project question

    Kuriin replied to JessicaLedford's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    What? No. That is wrong. You change at specific times. The only time that you would actually actively change it is if it is soiled or wet from blood. Tegaderm can last longer than 24

    Kuriin replied to amg21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nursing program-Low undergrad GPA. Advice welcome!

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

    Just to let you know, BSN = Bachelors of Science of Nursing. You probably mean BS in business. With that GPA, I do not believe you will get into a MEPN style program nor an accelerated program unless...

    4 steps of the nursing process?

    Kuriin replied to KStudentNurse70's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Our school uses SBAR when reporting to nurses or physicians. Nursing process for care plans. That's just how we call it. I can't imagine calling it "I'm going to nursing process you, Physician".

    Schools that accept low undergrad gpa???

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

    While low, I think we should also look at the big picture: OP majored in neurobiology and physiology. Very hard sciences. Again, your GPA is low, but, I don't think you will have as many problems as...

    advice re dismissal from accelerated BSN program

    Kuriin replied to angeweise's topic in General Students

    Actually, Paco-RN has a point. You are specifically asked (from what I've seen) that students in accelerated programs are asked not to work during the school year. For MEPN programs, you are asked not...
