  1. Evolution and Nursing

    bluescrubs16 replied to TheFowldogg's topic in Coffee Lounge's 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...

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

    bluescrubs16 replied to nurstdent9's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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...

  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...

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

    bluescrubs16 replied to nurstdent9's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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!...

  5. Community College or University?

    bluescrubs16 replied to SeattleNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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,...

  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...

  7. How does "online class" work?

    bluescrubs16 replied to bluesky94's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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...

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

    bluescrubs16 replied to goldenanchor's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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

  9. How's the Semester Going?

    bluescrubs16 replied to NurseGirl525's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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...

  10. A&P Question on Levels of Organization

    bluescrubs16 replied to FuturePedRN2016's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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 Students

    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...

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

    bluescrubs16 replied to hamolady's topic in Medical Assistant, 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...

  13. Cna program cost???

    bluescrubs16 replied to 5ummer's topic in Medical Assistant, 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...

  14. 2014 Applicants

    bluescrubs16 replied to emergenceRN17's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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...

  15. ADN to MSN

    bluescrubs16 replied to Spunj13's topic in Western Governors University

    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...

  16. ADN to MSN

    bluescrubs16 replied to Spunj13's topic in Western Governors University

    I have seen programs for an ADN for MSN with a time table of 2 to 3 years fulltime. Four years seems like a long time unless it was partime. Also I guess it would depend on how much of the...

  17. Class dilemmaa

    bluescrubs16 replied to georgiarose's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Is this your first online course? They are certainly not for everyone. Some people excel through auditory learning and prefer the traditional classroom setting. What aspect is it that you find...

  18. Feeling a little bummed out

    bluescrubs16 replied to cee cee g's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Talk to the club director and let them know you want to join but your are short on money - sometimes they have money set aside or can work out a payment plan with students. Most people understand how...

  19. Shadowing A nurse

    bluescrubs16 replied to suknamakki's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Does it have to be in a hospital setting? What about splitting up the hours and shadowing a long term care facility RN, a school nurse, a hospice nurse, a clinic nurse (some doc office do still...

  20. CC or university?

    bluescrubs16 replied to harper5683's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Try not to think of cc vs. Uni as one being better than the other. Each program has benefits and drawbacks, however any program that is accredited through the state board of nursing has met the same...

  21. In need of study skills help

    bluescrubs16 replied to bkburgos1326's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Get in a study group! I am part of a small group of 4 ladies who are all taking our sciences together. We meet 1 day a week outside of class for an hour or more and 30 minutes prior to each class...

  22. book to keep: physio or micro?

    bluescrubs16 replied to kdmf12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Buy & keep the physiology book - loan the micro.

  23. Math Challenged

    bluescrubs16 replied to SNN813's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Not sure what math 98 is - probably different names depending on which school you go to... I am 10 years out of high school myself & placed into developmental math. I wasn't surprised, as math has...

  24. History

    bluescrubs16 replied to TexRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I prefer learning visually so for some classes like history I will search the library or the history channel online or YouTube for the title of the chapter and find a video that corresponds with the...

  25. What would you do?

    bluescrubs16 replied to pistolfannie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No I would not advise someone to walk away from a stable, good paying job on a whim. However I could not personally stay at a dead end, mundane job my entire life either. This could be a 'grass is...
