  1. I have one day to study all this -__- HELP!

    applejackcrunch replied to Clodoveo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Use your own body to visualize the muscles. Easiest way would be to get a list and point them out on your body (or someone willing to help, but your body would be better because it'll be there during...

  2. Textbook Question

    applejackcrunch replied to katie_n's topic in General Students

    I kept my A&P text from my first AAS, and luckily I can use it this fall for my nursing pre-req advanced A&P. I bought that, used, for $30 three years ago- renting it would have been about...

  3. Becoming a CNA before starting school.

    applejackcrunch replied to bear94's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm honestly really surprised that my school hasn't made their acute-care CNA course a pre-req for nursing too. I'm sure it's coming, might end up taking that as an extra elective if I can swing it...

  4. TORCH complex

    applejackcrunch replied to lolo8764's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I know this isn't really on topic now that the question has been answered but I know sometimes this diagnostic test vs screening question pops up (not necessarily here but definitely in patient...

  5. How should I plan for my classes the next year?

    applejackcrunch replied to humboldt13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My school requires CNA certification as an admission requirement to start the core nursing courses. Personally I think it's a good idea to do the CNA course before starting core courses even if it's...

  6. What do you do to Prepare?

    applejackcrunch replied to Idiosyncratic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    School starts on August 19th for me and I'm finishing up my pre reqs (aside from CNA, which will be next semester) with two science classes and a psych class. So to get ahead (also so I can feel more...

  7. RN PROGRAM

    applejackcrunch replied to chove's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The Wisconsin Technical College System might be a good idea if you're looking for an affordable education. MATC has a good ADN program, but it sounds like you're going to have to take classes again...

  8. Should I take Biology Lab before Anatomy?

    applejackcrunch replied to mirandataylor's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If biology isn't a required course you would probably be okay with skipping it, especially since you've had kind of an intro to A&P in high school. My school recommended taking bio before...

  9. Case study...

    applejackcrunch replied to Music in My Heart's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    (Not a nursing student yet but I love reading these and trying to work through all of the thought processes that are posted, it's fun!) Since he's drunk he wouldn't be at risk for withdrawal symptoms,...

  10. Seeking experiences with bookrenter.com

    applejackcrunch replied to pmabraham's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I use only Chegg or Amazon. Some of the books I've gotten from Chegg have been a bit beaten up or marked up but they're definitely better than paying $150+; in some cases I rented for a tiny fraction...

  11. Courses you found useful...

    applejackcrunch replied to yopinkman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I finished an AAS in Health Information Management this past spring. Electronic Medical Records classes are a great way to learn how to do charting, and especially learning about HIPAA laws and other...

  12. Nursing school or Paramedic school first?

    applejackcrunch replied to Strazku's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know quite a few people who started out in EMT programs and then gained experience while in nursing school. That would be the route I would choose if I was interested in that kind of career, at...

  13. Feed me, Seymour! When patients want forbidden food...

    applejackcrunch replied to TrevyRN's topic in Emergency

    I showed my boyfriend that story and this was his first reaction haha. And then there was

  14. post your fall class schedule

    applejackcrunch replied to reka2014's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A&P II (Physiology, mostly) Microbiology Developmental Psych Critical Thinking (Pretty sure this will be a breeze but I'm hoping I'll be surprised ) CNA (Short course, starts in December and ends...

  15. Will losing accreditation affect me in the future?

    applejackcrunch replied to DarlineRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ah, I apologize! Thank you for correcting me.

  16. Will losing accreditation affect me in the future?

    applejackcrunch replied to DarlineRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If I recall correctly losing accreditation means you will not be able to take the NCLEX. I'm not sure if this will affect you if they are accredited again before you graduate, but I think if it...

  17. Can't seem to get my foot in the door

    applejackcrunch replied to mishmosh20's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Personally I think I would go for the ABSN since you've already completed one degree already. Doing an ADN would mean that you'd probably do a RN-BSN program at some point anyway, so that will save...

  18. The best planner/organizer?

    applejackcrunch replied to LPN709's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I swear by the Lily Pulitzer Agendas... I have both the large and small ones, but I'm only seeing the large ones on their site now. Either way, it's simple and for people with big handwriting the...

  19. got in the program but don't know if I should go

    applejackcrunch replied to Dia1234's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would suggest looking into a Medical Assistant program- one year course usually, fairly easy to get into most of the time, and it would provide a decent background for a tech position like that.

  20. Tech vital sheets from unit/other papers

    applejackcrunch replied to Ele123's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Okay, so just for a bit of background... I did an internship with an HIM department this past spring, which included a lot meetings about changing forms that nursing and techs use- something that I...

  21. [POLL] is it a reason to NOT pursue nursing anymore?

    applejackcrunch replied to ionelaitou's topic in General Students

    I would like to point out that the US does not have an official language, unlike most other countries. Including Korea. This is because we, despite some conservative views disputing it, are a...

  22. Prescriptions and Drug Testing

    applejackcrunch replied to ATBStudent's topic in General Students

    Chances are you'll be asked about any prescriptions before you take the drug test. Honestly, it would be really petty and ridiculous for any of your teachers to say anything about amphetamines being...

  23. Aurora ICU Graduate Nurse Position

    applejackcrunch replied to kerwer11's topic in General Nursing

    Congrats on the acceptance

  24. Do you ever find yourself comparing where you are to where other people are?

    applejackcrunch replied to kdpatula's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It took me five years to finally get a degree in something I knew halfway through I really didn't want to do, and I was always comparing myself to others I know who were getting their english and...

  25. Summer Employment for Nursing Student, No CNA

    applejackcrunch replied to tbbtpeach's topic in General Students

    I'm not sure about Indiana... I know in Wisconsin (where I live) there isn't a certification required to work as a tech. There might be one that the pharmacy pays for after so many months of working,...
