   Livetoride replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Taking stats online. So far, I have 100. I don't know what I am doing but I never done math higher than college prep math before... I also was admitted to an advanced CNA course this morning.

   Livetoride replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing

   In A&P II, our professor encouraged us to do community service related projects for grade school children. She would give us Extra Credit if we done it, but not as a requirement.

4. Anatomy and Physiology Lab without Cadavers (formaldehyde)?

   Livetoride replied to MissHopeful111's topic in General Students

   They don't use all formadelhyde or cadavers. For instance, we used cats in our A&P courses. There was an exception of one instructor who has a health condition and couldn't be exposed to preservatives so in that class, the cats were a bit fresher...

5. Aspiring nurse who needs to work. Part time nursing school? LPN to RN?

   Livetoride replied to xBri47's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Cutting down expenses and making sacrifices is a huge part of nursing school. Im cutting back to part-time at work and putting money back for nursing school. My husband makes a decent living so there's cushion for bills and other obligations. for exa...

   Livetoride replied to KellyVT's topic in Student Assist

   I'm 25 and I just had my first MMR dose since childhood. All this cause I was indeterminate in my lab on Rubeola. The other two components or MMR, I was fine. It's been a headache for me.

8. Medical Assistant or LPN?

   Livetoride replied to Marzyq's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I have heard the job prospects for new MA grads are slim pickings. My cousin-in-law has or had her CMA but could never find employment as a MA. She had her X ray certification with it. She wants to go back for nursing now as a result. If I were you, ...

9. I didn't get in!!

   Livetoride replied to tbird88's topic in Pre-Nursing

   That sucks, OP. Sorry about your misfortune. I really do not care for the lottery system myself. I would rather sit on a waiting list. Look to other schools and keep applying. Something will have to give eventually.

10. Hi I can't decide if I should do a 2 year or a 4 year program

    Livetoride replied to kh88's topic in Pre-Nursing

    If I were you, just go through a BSN program. I am saying this based on you already have an Associate's in a related health sciences field. If your goal is to be a marketable RN for a hospital position, go for the BSN. It'd be a lot better than going...

11. Are ASNs worthless?

    Livetoride replied to georgiapeach27's topic in Pre-Nursing

    It's not worthless to me. I have kids and a full time job. I also was not a good student in high school. For me, it is best to go do my ADN before the BSN. I'm fine with working at my LTC facility as a RN with an Associate's and then move into acute ...

12. Do your teachers round up grades?

    Livetoride replied to NewNurs2020's topic in Pre-Nursing

    My chem professor rounded up or down the grades. The other ones, not so much.

13. Would it be best to be a CNA then an RN?

    Livetoride replied to ART_Princess's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Check your program requirements. Most programs in my area want their prospective students to be on the state registry as a CNA prior to admitting. I think it depends on you as a person and your background. If you have zero experience or unsure about ...

14. Only taking 2 classes in first semester. Bad idea?

    Livetoride replied to leehyeri's topic in Pre-Nursing

    It's not a bad idea at all. It's your first college semester and you should focus on becoming more acclimated to college courses vs worrying about the number of credits you are taking. The competitive nursing programs focus on GPA in the pre-reqs and...

    I get disbursement off mine when it is excess. You are free to use the money for your needs or wants. I use my leftovers for my car payment, food, rent, etc.
