    IVPB infusion rate

    Kuriin replied to theviolinist's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm a little confused on that, too, since it's going against

    I feel like I'm not going anywhere in Nursing!!!

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

    So, I did suggest the school I was going to. We have a pretty massive program and you have a good chance of getting in. I would recommend looking at it. Don't be a pessimist! @Dranger, please note I...

    I feel like I'm not going anywhere in Nursing!!!

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

    That's fine and dandy what you may interpret, however, until you know, why would you discredit the OP? Poster said he/she took inorganic (which I'm assuming is the general chem) chemistry and is now...

    I feel like I'm not going anywhere in Nursing!!!

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

    Many schools do not require organic chemistry for nursing -- it's more specialized like CRNAs. Your counselor is incorrect on that GPA. Look around for schools, you'll find a lot. I am actually in...

    Few more weeks to find out if we get an interview. Ohhh

    Nursing to Med School

    Kuriin replied to Cg37387n's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    One of my friends got his DNP while working full time in a private practice setting. He was one of two NPs in the practice and there was one physician. The physician did not want him to even say...

    Buying New books from Amazon?

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

    Problem with buying used books is that sometimes the classes require the CD or code that comes with the book. Chances are, you will not be getting those when you buy used from half.com. I love...

    Nursing to Med School

    Kuriin replied to Cg37387n's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So, so wrong. As a DNP, you are allowed to cause yourself a Doctor because it is a Doctor of Nursing Practice. It is the same as calling a PhD a doctor even though that is more hilarious. To stop...

    Venting and praying

    Kuriin replied to ShadowsGirl101's topic in General Students

    I don't know about your condition, but, if you're having a hard time in fundamentals, you will have an even harder time in MedSurg. Why don't you want to take the person's advice and maybe seek a...

    So incredibly discouraged...

    Kuriin replied to mmcc01's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It took me 3 attempts to get statistics out of the way because the first two did not know how to each at all. Ratemyprofessor is a wonderful tool and I plan on using it every single semester because...

    Just failed Nursing 307 Fundamentals Clinical, need guidance

    Kuriin replied to ThePhilster's topic in General Students

    He stated that he sometimes has violent thoughts, not specifically directed towards anyone. And regarding your comment about nurse practitioners being more "holistic"...where did you come up with that...

    Pathophysiology

    Kuriin replied to liltiger427's topic in General Students

    Personally, I found physiology to be much harder than pathophysiology. I think it is the material that makes it easier for me because I'm motivated to learn about disease states. You'll wish you took...

    What sorts of Nursing Students should drop Nursing School? Am I one of them?

    Kuriin replied to Vysection's topic in General Students

    If you honestly feel like you have to be led to do anything, then I recommend you just drop nursing. Nurses take initiative and we are leaders. A monkey could follow a prescribed order, it's how one...

    Failed in the BSN program last semester.Any schools accept me?me?

    Kuriin replied to bna04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Failing in Fundamentals is a big no, no. Because topics get (obviously) increasingly more difficult and if you have trouble in that topic, you need to either evaluate what you're doing wrong, and why...

    Suggestions On Studying Dosage Calculations

    Kuriin replied to havehope's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    If you decide to not use a calculator, then you will probably not get very far. Hate to say it, but human error = medication error. Calculators are accurate for a reason, so use

    Aspiring Nursing Student Advice

    Kuriin replied to rks5483's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Time management is definitely the hard part about nursing school because you are just thrown so much information and must be able to memorize it quite fast. The one thing I would recommend you do is...

    Gerontology vs. Geriatrics

    Kuriin replied to ICUnurseEst2015's topic in General Students

    Thanks for sharing that, Dolce. In regards to NP, didn't the ANA (or whatever) remove "Adult NP" and just combine it with

    Reprimanded for reporting medication errors and so much more

    Kuriin replied to reprimanded's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Sorry you had a rough day. It won't be your last in the world of nursing. The only advice I can give you is that: Please, never ever post anything on Facebook regarding the hospital or about another...

    2014 UCSF MEPN Applicants

    Kuriin replied to JustD16's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm actually shocked that UCSF does not award MEPN students with a BSN. This is all disheartening and is making me rethink UCSF altogether and just sticking with my current BSN program. I would...

    Stereotyping Male Nurses

    Kuriin replied to lvansick's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Yeah, you know gays back in the day were married with wives because it was essentially illegal to be out, right? Just saying. I know there were heterosexual men in nursing way before then, too. But,...

    Stereotyping Male Nurses

    Kuriin replied to lvansick's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Because generally, men who are nurses were gay. It's only recently changed within the last twenty or so years where there's now a pretty even ratio of straight to gay men. I don't know where you're...

    Kuriin replied to JustD16's topic in Post Graduate Students

    If I don't get into UCSF this year, it's God's way of saying I should just stick with my current nursing program. You guys do make me a little nervous when you say that people are hiring only those...

    How do admission view classes in progress when applying?

    Kuriin replied to missind33's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Some schools require completed prerequisites before you can even apply while other schools allow you to finish your classes even after applications have been locked. The Bs are really not that much of...
