    microbio online?

    Kuriin replied to eve2679's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How do you do the lab at home? Doesn't make sense. This is one of those classes I would recommend you avoid taking

    Studying for NCLEX & have questions

    Kuriin replied to holinurse's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Not sure if I'm correct, but, I believe the H&H go up and sodium go down because it's hypovolemic shock and it's all relative. edit: My notes when I took burns: Metabolic acidosis due to loss of...

    Need some quick help with charting.

    Kuriin replied to JasonKa's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Wouldn't this patient be hypoglycemic from having severe emesis and NPO? Surprised there's no dextrose in the IV with that lactated

    Bioterrorism/Microbiology

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

    Yeah, don't drop the class just because she's an idiot. If she is an OK teacher (though believes the wrong things), that's all on her being an

    Bioterrorism/Microbiology

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

    Is she a student herself, in the process of getting a PhD? If not, that's really strange they would have someone teach a class with just a Masters. Such a shame that she's in the sciences and an...

    Bioterrorism/Microbiology

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

    So, she only provided on source? How is she a professor? I assume she's got a PhD already? Oh man, lol. This is great. People die of AIDS because they don't know the truth. This ranks up as...

    Preparing for Nursing Program

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

    Typically if you do A&P integrated, you are required to take it again (A&P II) as integration means less intensive. I actually took Anatomy / Physiology separately but wish I took them...

    Bioterrorism/Microbiology

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

    Your professor actually stated that HIV, syphilis (LOL?), and H1N1 were specifically made to kill off all the homosexuals, blacks, and Mexicans? I'm in infectious diseases and I would: 1) Laugh out...

    Taking 20 credits next semester.

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

    Most I've ever taken was 28 credits. However, I wasn't in nursing school. 20 credits is a whole lot and you're going to be spending a lot of time on just 12 credits alone. Be careful that you don't...

    Test Review

    Kuriin replied to runswithscissors's topic in General Students

    We can only look at the tests in the teacher's office. Aside from that, we do not get the tests

    Head to Toe Physical Assessment

    Kuriin replied to happynurse49's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Disagree with the above posters. What you said, "brown, warm, and dry" is fine. I'd tread carefully with any type of identification of ethnicity because someone who may look Caucasian may not...

    CNA certiciation for a first year nursing school student without taking CNA classes??

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

    Yes. At that point, you will have taken all of the classes needed to successfully understand the jobs of a CNA and how to pass the CNA

    Patho/pharm 1

    Kuriin replied to ebosse76's topic in General Students

    Is the professor giving you powerpoint slides? If not, I feel really, really bad for you. Recommend you record the lecture (audio) and take as many notes as possible. Typically the professors will let...

    Statistics

    Kuriin replied to ravenl20's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took statistics in a 6 week accelerated semester (summer) while even doing a bike ride from San Francisco to LA (545 miles!). Missed 6 chapters because of it, ugh. It's completely dependent on if...

    How can a W affect me?

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

    Having a W on your transcript won't affect your chances of getting into nursing school. I have several due to uncertainty of finishing said classes. If you're nervous about the W, talk about it in...

    Failure of Anatomy I

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

    I've never heard anyone failing a specific required class (especially anatomy) let alone twice get into nursing school. Though, you could write about it in your personal statement to let them know why...

    Titer questions: TDaP

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

    Nursing school while in a sorority

    Kuriin replied to mtcowgirl's topic in General Students

    It's totally doable. I would, though, recommend a nursing sorority. Nothing worse than joining a group that has absolutely no idea how busy nursing students

    Needles!!

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

    Ya. I've done a few subcuts which are not as big of a deal as intradermal or intramuscular. I think they're trying to scare ya, though. Our pharmacology teacher basically said, "About 3 of you in this...

    Clinical question

    Kuriin replied to lepew's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    We are required to prelab before arriving to clinical. It is suggested we do it the day before because that means less chances of having a discharged patient. I prefer doing the prelab myself because...

    im so so anxious and stressed about getting in to n.s.

    Kuriin replied to mz23's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Honestly, I would steer clear of those community colleges that have lotteries. They are associates degrees and the likelihood of someone getting into those programs is like, one out of several...
