  1. Might change my major to Medical Assistant?

    giraffe4 posted a topic in General Students

    Okay, I've been going to school for almost FOUR years. I have been going to community college. It took me 3 years to finish pre requisites, got accepted into RN school in February, and I also just...

  2. Taking a Year Off? Did not pass TEAS.

    giraffe4 replied to Jsamonte036's topic in General Students

    I'd buy a book for the TEAS exam. Maybe ask a tutor for help. What about getting your CNA? It only took 3 weeks for me. You can at least learn some basic nursing skills doing CNA work (And to see if...

  3. what is pre nursing considered?

    giraffe4 replied to floatingribs's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you are doing classes to head towards your clinicals, you are considered a prenursing student. Like if you are doing clinical rotations you are obviously in clinical learning to be an actual nurse....

  4. Didn't score high enough on dosage calculations

    giraffe4 replied to saragwen1031's topic in General Students

    I failed my dosage calculation test yesterday too I had to get 100%. I got 4 questions wrong out of 10. How about buying the book "Calculate with Confidence 6e by Deb C Gray Morris or even watching...

  5. Got accepted but having doubts on nursing?

    giraffe4 posted a topic in General Students

    I've been going to community college for 3 1/2 years now. I just got accepted into the Associates RN program. However, something inside of me keeps saying this isn't what I want to do. Everyone just...

    giraffe4 replied to giraffe4's topic in General Students

    I'm nervous but ready! Thank you for the advice. I'm ready to take it

  7. I got accepted into Nursing school

    giraffe4 posted a topic in General Students

    Now I am quite nervous. I know how everyone says how hard it is but I've been doing the pre requistes for 3 years and finished, applied for clinicals at my local community college, and heard that I...

  8. Chem Lab & Lecture, A&P, Stats. Too much for one semester?

    giraffe4 replied to ashnic27's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I personally wouldnt. I took all my sciences seperately and im taking stats by itself next semester. I did much better doing them seperately with other easy courses rather than altogether. Its better...

  9. What do you like/dislike about Pre-Nursing?

    giraffe4 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My likes are that I love that I am going to be a Nursing student. My dislikes that the bio classes are hard but I know it's worth it. I wish I could be considered a Nursing Student

  10. How long did it take you to do your prerequisites?

    giraffe4 replied to carys's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Right now it's taken me 2 years going on 3. My second semester I changed my major and went back into Nursing. I also screwed up a Bio class once. So it's taking me a little while longer than

  11. How hard is basic anatomy and pysiology

    giraffe4 replied to TIffany1579's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hmm Basic A&P? It sounds really easy if it's just basic. If you are talking about A&P 1, I took lots of notes and was very attentive. I asked the professor questions if I didn't understand...

  12. A & P final grades are in, what's urs

    giraffe4 replied to cee cee g's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got a high B in A&P 1. I was mad because I had straight A's almost the entire semester but kinda slacked off at the end. Great job

  13. Should I take anatomy II over the summer?

    giraffe4 replied to mozer92's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would do it. If you had a good grade in A&P 1 and want to get your degree faster, I would. I am also doing A&P 2 also in the summer. Except it is 8 weeks not 7. Also, if it is your only...

  14. A&P I and II??

    giraffe4 replied to GingerRN17's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Anatomy and Physiology were the same class. But I still had A&P 1 and A&P 2. I'd rather have it that way to be honest because anatomy and physiology coexist and it wouldn't make sense to me if...

  15. hope to be a lpn, bad at math

    giraffe4 replied to hope2balpn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am completely the same. I am TERRIBLE at math. My entire life I was bad at it and still am. I have to take Intermediate Algebra which is a remedial course in my community college and I can't seem to...

  16. Can i still make it even though i got a c in a&p?

    giraffe4 replied to melikay's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Since you are only in community college, it won't be as serious as the universities. But that doesn't mean slack off. I know the community college I go to, most people get a C in A&P 1 and do...

  17. Anat & Phys I Over The Summer

    giraffe4 replied to SunkissedRN2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I already took A&P 1 but not over the summer. I am actually taking A&P 2 in the summer in a few weeks. A&P 1 is actually not that bad, it may be a lot of information but you will see that...

  18. Accepted Into The Nursing Program (RN)!

    giraffe4 replied to Dezi919's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats!! I wish I was in your situation but I still have 4 classes left of

  19. Why should there be a certification to be a nursing assistant?

    giraffe4 posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I feel a lot of it is pretty easy work to learn. There are already personal care assistants, nursing assistants (that aren't certified) that are in hospitals, home care aides, without being certified....

  20. Which is harder: A&P 1 or A&P 2?

    giraffe4 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am finished A&P 1 - that was a lot on itself. Is A&P 2

  21. failed chemistry this semester. pretty depressed and thinking of giving up!!

    giraffe4 replied to MCFielder's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wouldn't have taken 2 biology classes together. It is already a lot with one, I couldn't imagine taking two plus an 8 month old. I wouldn't give up though. I would take it one step at time. What...

  22. Do you think Nurses will be replaced by technology one day?

    giraffe4 posted a topic in General Students

    This idea came up when I realized some automatic Blood Pressure machines are used. If that can happen, what if nurses will be replaced someday? It is already happening that many jobs are being...

  23. Staying motivated in classes that don't interest you

    giraffe4 replied to lakmom12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have to take Intermediate Algebra and I hate math. So yes I have had this. Since you haven't taken it yet, maybe the professor will make it interesting, don't think so low of it yet.

  24. Nursing Assistant... My Thoughts

    giraffe4 replied to IWANTCANDY's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I would definitely change your job. That is

  25. Why should there be a certification to be a nursing assistant?

    giraffe4 replied to giraffe4's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Not my point. There are non certified assistants working in hospitals. That is my entire point of the whole topic. I feel they SHOULD be certified. You only read one sentence of my entire paragraph....
