  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...

    Livetoride replied to xBri47's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  8. Medical Assistant or LPN?

    Livetoride replied to Marzyq's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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...

  9. I didn't get in!!

    Livetoride replied to tbird88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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...

  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 Students

    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...

  11. Are ASNs worthless?

    Livetoride replied to georgiapeach27's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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...

  12. Do your teachers round up grades?

    Livetoride replied to NewNurs2020's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

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

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

    Livetoride replied to ART_Princess's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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...

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

    Livetoride replied to leehyeri's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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...

  15. Pell Grant

    Livetoride replied to fyrephish's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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,

  16. Has anyone taken statistics online?

    Livetoride replied to Jessica1019's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I will be taking stats online this fall. I signed up with a professor who has a good reputation for being helpful to her students when needed. I heard that Stats online is the devil. I am not the...

  17. Do I Have the Stomach for Nursing?

    Livetoride replied to Barmherzigkeit's topic in General Students

    I worried about this before I started my CNA clinicals. I didn't know how I would have handled the bodily fluids once I got in there. Come to find out that BM and Urine were no problem. Vomit is no...

  18. Did anyone have to relocate for nursing school?

    Livetoride replied to Neywel120's topic in General Students

    This. My community college holds a partnership with several off campus apartment complexes. You may wind up with a bunch of roommates in a 3 or 4 bedroom but it may be best for you. You get to meet...

  19. A&P study suggestions

    Livetoride replied to msheather413's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you can, voice record the lectures. If you get any handouts, go through them everyday. If your professor offers open labs for study, go to them. Make sure you are staying organized in your notes....

  20. Bombed Out!

    Livetoride replied to Dreamer05's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I done better in school when I quit thinking about the letter grade. Instead of "Oh, I need an A." I changed my mindset to the material I needed to learn. I done so much better in my science courses...

  23. No experience & No job history

    Livetoride replied to Laura_G_in_ID's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I want to become a CNM myself. Currently, I work in LTC as a CNA. I got my first job in a facility that liked experienced CNAs but they hired after my state testing. My second job was similar to...

  24. Lvn or straight to RN?

    Livetoride replied to CNAtonurse4's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    LPNs/LVNs are seen in SNFs/clinics. Unless, that is what you are into, I'd skip it entirely and go to a RN program. If trauma is your thing, go paramedic or EMT because you won't get that kind of...

  25. What do I do

    Livetoride replied to MaryEllen17's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was considering a change to Health iT but my passion is not that. Sounds cliche, but go with what you enjoy. You will be working for the majority of your lifespan, so why not do something you
