1. Evolution and Nursing

   bluescrubs16 replied to TheFowldogg's topic in Lounge

   I believe in both... I believe that everything was created by God. However, over time God has allowed living and non-living things to evolve or change and other things to go extinct - all according to His purpose and design. There are many vestigial ...

2. Taking the PSB.All Advice is needed & appreciated

   bluescrubs16 replied to nurstdent9's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I just reread your initial post and saw that you are taking the PSB-LVN - I only took the PSB-RN so I am not sure how they are different, if at all. One thing I did before testing was call my school and other local schools and ask about a prep class...

3. Babies and nursing school

   bluescrubs16 replied to brazooke's topic in General Students

   Something to think about: I am 5 years older than my brother and 7 years older than my sister. I have a very close relationship with both of them. However they are less than 2 years apart in age and always seem to find themselves in a petty arguments...

4. Taking the PSB.All Advice is needed & appreciated

   bluescrubs16 replied to nurstdent9's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I took the PSB a little over a month ago. I was very worried about it so I bought the Peterson's Review book for nursing exams, but honestly I did not end up using it at all. I did great on the test! What helped was that I had taken most all of my pr...

5. Community College or University?

   bluescrubs16 replied to SeattleNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I won't give you a list but I can tell you why I choose Community College... I am in my mid 20s, married, and I live in a small town. Going to a community college allows me to pay less tuition money, stay at home with my hubby, limits my commute tim...

6. in a rut.

   bluescrubs16 replied to lauriepat's topic in General Students

   No words of wisdom - just encouragement! Sounds like you have gone through a lot but you are still surviving and pushing towards your goal of becoming an RN! That speaks volumes about your character. December will be here before you know it. Hang i...

7. How does "online class" work?

   bluescrubs16 replied to bluesky94's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Each school does their online classes differently and each teacher at an individual school will further tweak the class to their personal preference. The majority of my online classes through my local community college have been done all online with...

8. Do you have a nursing specialty you know you want to pursue?

   bluescrubs16 replied to goldenanchor's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'd really like to work in Oncology or the ER. I have also been thinking long term about becoming a NP down the road. I wonder how much this will change once I go through clinicals...

9. How's the Semester Going?

   bluescrubs16 replied to NurseGirl525's topic in Pre-Nursing

   So far the semester is going good... Classes for me started back on the 8th but I am still having a hard time getting my head back in the game and finding my rhythm for studying again; the holiday break was so nice! I think I am caught up worrying ab...

10. A&P Question on Levels of Organization

    bluescrubs16 replied to FuturePedRN2016's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Looks like golden beat me to it - Glad you are on the right track! :)

11. A&P Question on Levels of Organization

    bluescrubs16 replied to FuturePedRN2016's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Pages 12-13: 1.3 Levels of Organization & Figure 1.3 and Table 1.4 I think the issue is that the book and your notes don't make it clear that each level includes a solitary structure except the chemical level which is comprised of 5 different st...

12. Did you fail/pass the CNA state exam?

    bluescrubs16 replied to hamolady's topic in CNA/MA

    Happywife has some great advice! A few people from my CNA class failed their first go round. Then retook it and passed. They said what kept them from passing the first time was letting their nerves get the best of them. I think it is really importan...

13. Cna program cost???

    bluescrubs16 replied to 5ummer's topic in CNA/MA

    Thousands for a CNA course seems very expensive! The $500 course sounds about right. I paid around $630 for an eight week course, including textbook and uniform. I took my CNA course over the summer while taking an evening psych course on campus and ...

14. 2014 Applicants

    bluescrubs16 replied to emergenceRN17's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I am envious of all of you who already know one way or another. I take the PSB in a few weeks and then I won't find out if I have been accepted until early April for an August 2014 start date. It is an ADN consortium program with 2 additional area sc...

15. ADN to MSN

    bluescrubs16 replied to Spunj13's topic in Western Governors

    Sorry OP - I am a mobile user and don't always see the category designations when I click current topics or search topics. I thought you were asking about ADN-MSN programs in general not specifically WGU. I have no knowledge of that college - sorry ...
