    Charlie Don't Surf replied to pjmiller's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    Hesi practice exam on the site, study your fundamentals from lecture. It's very unlike your tests, but it's all the same info...presented differently. We couldn't study for it, other than what we...

  2. LPN/RN question

    Charlie Don't Surf replied to patientlytrying's topic in General Nursing

    How many nursing specific EBP items have possibly changed since the OP has learned it? I might think you'd have to run it all over

  3. Ketogenic Diet question

  4. Ketogenic Diet question

    Charlie Don't Surf replied to Charlie Don't Surf's topic in General Nursing

  5. LPN/RN question

    Charlie Don't Surf replied to patientlytrying's topic in General Nursing

    The LPN seems like a step in the wrong direction as a student in my opinion, no delegation, limited assessment, educative, care planning etc... I'm not seeing where it would help you on the NCLEX as...

  6. Is A&P 1 the most difficult class in nursing?

    Charlie Don't Surf replied to NewKillerStar's topic in General Students

    Second that. Anatomy and Physiology 1 & 2 were nothing compared to the first Nursing courses, simple mnemonics and rote memorization was all you needed to make an A in all but the most elite of...

  11. % of Nurses that smoke

    Charlie Don't Surf replied to twinner05's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I smoked for 13 years, then quit cold-turkey 4 years ago. I used it to cope with stress, calm my nerves, and gear up before something...I told myself. Truth is I had done the same action for so long,...

  12. Concealed Carry...as a nurse?

    Charlie Don't Surf replied to mcknis's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Charlie Don't Surf replied to Sammy Jankis's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  16. Lehman College 2014

    Charlie Don't Surf replied to lehmanstudent's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    92 seems to be a solid HESI A2 score, I got just above that and decided it was enough to give my re-test seat to another student and the admissions officer said my score was extremely high. Good...

    Charlie Don't Surf replied to dzadzey's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    [ QUOTE=feathersRN] The whole program was one semester Not sure I understand these programs either, although I keep hearing about them. If the BSN "difference" is the higher-order thinking, and...

    Charlie Don't Surf replied to J3w3lz88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did both general Chemistry 1&2 in the first summer, the focus of the summer intensity...lecture, study, test, repeat- worked well. A&P 1&2 pace on a 16 week is too long and

  20. Support for ADN's required to secure their BSN lacking

    Charlie Don't Surf replied to dzadzey's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    That depends on the type of RN to BSN program right? One local hospital offers a bridge program through a university (which I hear various things about) that is supposed to.take 1 class per week,...

  21. Muscles easier than bones??

    Charlie Don't Surf replied to 7237dallas's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did equally well on both, but for a visual-kinesthetic learner (me) being able to touch and manipulate the skeleton made a huge difference in the rate I learned bones, whereas I just had to memorize...

  22. PLEASE don't use photos as avatars!

    Charlie Don't Surf replied to RNsRWe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So, just to play devils advocate for my own critical thinking process...how is it, that with the 1st amendment in place, anyone can cause me to lose anything within a nursing program? I am entitled...

    Charlie Don't Surf replied to Myoclonicjerk's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Charlie Don't Surf replied to little-chick2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My pre-admissions requirements are to pass the CNA 1 course and or have an active listing on the NA 1 registry. Recently we were told to expect $8-$8.50 per hour average pay for the area as an NA 1,...
