  1. Chemistry and nursing school

    BusiestBSN replied to jcol1460's topic in General Students

    To answer your question... Math Skills - Dimensional Analysis I believe it helps me because I am a visual learner so writing it out like that helps me to properly figure out a problem without making a...

  2. Chemistry and nursing school

    BusiestBSN replied to jcol1460's topic in General Students

    Dimensional analysis! Learning how to set up problems in chemistry using this method led to a better understanding for my dosage tests, which occur every semester. Other helpful concepts include...

  3. Keeping up with the Reading?

    BusiestBSN replied to MusicEMT's topic in General Students

    I only read what is covered in class. This keeps me focused and I do not waste time reading through things my professor does not cover. No suggestions for the ADD. Maybe see a specialist who can...

  4. Can antidepressants keep you out of NS?

    BusiestBSN replied to RHill9919's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Antidepressants may actually be what keep you in nursing school & keep your psyche intact... But on a serious note, no they will not keep you out of nursing school. If you are going to start...

  5. How far do you travel?

    BusiestBSN replied to JayCimone's topic in General Students

    I walk an intense 100 yards to class every day. On bad days it takes a full 5 minutes. Let me tell you, it is exhausting I live on campus but will not next year & have not in the past. While...

  6. Not enough tickets

    BusiestBSN replied to Nolli's topic in General Students

    I would ask other graduates if they have extra tickets they could spare. Some do not attend their own graduation or do not use all their tickets even if they do. Send out emails, post on your school's...

  7. Is it worthwhile to become a CNA before going to nursing school?

    BusiestBSN replied to little-chick2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with pinkgeek. My school did not require it, so I did not get it. There were some CNAs in my nursing program who said it only helped with the beginner standard tasks, so either way not having...

  8. Before being accepted to nursing school

    BusiestBSN replied to soutan7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  10. Do you recommend taking Chemistry before nursing school?

    BusiestBSN replied to LadyLamp's topic in General Students

    I say take it, especially if it is recommended... that means they would probably prefer for you to do

  11. Internships?

    BusiestBSN replied to IThinkICan100's topic in General Students

    Classicdame hit the nail on the head. If you can score an internship & fully commit to it, then go for it. It is a great learning

  12. How important are internships?

    BusiestBSN replied to mikasa's topic in General Students

    I think having an internship is just going the extra mile. Not required, but at least recommended to apply for. I was offered a position a few weeks ago for a student nurse externship. It is a very...

  13. Help!

    BusiestBSN replied to EJhox8's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There are direct entry MSN programs where the students have previous non nursing bachelor degrees. They are very general MSN programs (specializing in leadership) and very competitive/intensive....

  14. Overwhelmed First Level Nursing Student!!

    BusiestBSN replied to cate3624's topic in General Students

    I recommend that you try to read only what is being talked about in class. It will help your readings become more focused and it is less overwhelming. So instead of reading all 52 pages of Chapter 8...

  15. Overwhelmed First Level Nursing Student!!

    BusiestBSN replied to cate3624's topic in General Students

    Well, how are you studying now? Because something is not working. On a side note, I felt like I was getting yelled at the whole time I was reading your post. There are so many exclamation points...

  16. Not so patiently waiting

    BusiestBSN replied to trancefamily's topic in General Students

    Look at your hospital or nursing home websites & see if they have anything listed. Even just getting your foot in the door as a diet tech can turn into you being internally hired as a patient care...

  17. Trying to figure out the best route for nursing.

    BusiestBSN replied to desereelynn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would call both the university and junior colleges and ask them how competitive it is to get into the nusing classes, if they have a wait list, how long it is (years/semesters) if you are place said...

    BusiestBSN replied to inspiredbynavy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Not sure about the negotiation. Here is a packet that I found helpful when preparing for an interview. I used the tips and it helped me a lot. I got offered a highly sought after position that had a...

  19. First day of clinicals

    BusiestBSN replied to ahinson07's topic in General Students

    I third eating breakfast... And get a good night sleep the night before! Hard to do when you are nervous/excited, I know, but well worth it the next

  20. PLEASE don't use photos as avatars!

    BusiestBSN replied to RNsRWe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh yes! I have seen some new members who put their name as the username, their actual picture and state the name of their school. It is better to leave a little mystery. And AN offers that luxury,...

  21. What is BSN/MSN?

    BusiestBSN replied to RHill9919's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Had you written a clearer post that articulated whatever you are trying to say, it may have be easier to read and understand. Something like "Why do you some people get their BSN and go straight for...

    BusiestBSN replied to chiasmus100's topic in General Students

  23. Clinical instructor gives study guide to clinical group is this unfair

    BusiestBSN replied to chiasmus100's topic in General Students

    I wish we could hear the instructor's side of the story, especially with your accusations of insecurity and "tricks". This resource would be made available to you too if you completed the blue print...

  24. What duties are available to NPs/CNLs?

    BusiestBSN replied to GuiltyLove's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You should post this in the NP forum under the APRN link in the yellow band. They would probably explain their role more appropriately than those in the pre nursing

  25. What is BSN/MSN?

    BusiestBSN replied to RHill9919's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Based on what I am reading, I do not know if you understand how the MSN works. You cannot just go get the Psych NP degree. You must work as an RN for a couple years (after getting your bachelors or...
