  1. 100% calculation exam/pass/fail

    shock-me-sane replied to angel97's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    we have the same thing. It hasn't been for every quarter, I think we didn't have one for OB. We had to pass with a 100%, but we also had 3 chances to do so. I only had to do a retake on the...

  2. Has anyone gotten a good grade in Chemistry during a 6 week intersession?

    shock-me-sane replied to Future-nurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I didn't do chem in a shortened period, but I did do bio and a horrible writting class...both with A's. You totally can do it, it leaves no slacking time...so don't let yourself

  4. I have a Question...

    shock-me-sane replied to sherriberry1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    no for the reasons nurz stated. now if you are just looking to review you might want to look for old editions of nursing books on ebay. That way you can get a feel for the material without the...

  5. Is it too early to apply for nurse intern positions?

    shock-me-sane replied to N_E_W_S_T_U_D_E_N_T's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    yeah you are going to need to wait. They usually want a letter from a clinical instructor and you need the skills you are going to

  6. Simple question, simple answer!

    shock-me-sane replied to JohnnysGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't know if it is a hard and fast rule, but yes put the state in there. Also as a side note, the running head and your actual title typically aren't the same. I don't know if that is just your...

  7. Waitlisted...How should I take this?

    shock-me-sane replied to haleygirl's topic in General Students

    you know, i base my advice on what i have experienced in my nursing program. i am sorry you found it offensive. i do think before i speak, and honestly i would stand by the same advice next time. but...

  8. compression wraps to arms

    shock-me-sane replied to CT Pixie's topic in General Nursing

    I would think that you would want to stimulate venuos return, so the only thing I can think is that you make sure you start distally and move

  9. A&p1

    shock-me-sane replied to rnmomtobe2010's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It is doable. Just make absolutely sure that the A&P 1 will transfer over to your school appropriately. Sometimes they may have the same names, but the school won't accept

  10. Waitlisted...How should I take this?

    shock-me-sane replied to haleygirl's topic in General Students

    I really hope you aren't trying to set up a meeting to convince them you should be accepted. Not everyone gets in right away, some people get in off a waitlist. You can't have everything the way you...

  12. Interview

    shock-me-sane replied to Kynlee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wouldn't go with the overtime thing, they don't even want you to work at all in nursing

  13. Interview

    shock-me-sane replied to Kynlee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think it matters so much as what your weakness is. It matters more how you present it. You say I have a tendency to procrastinate. But in order to manage that I keep an organizer and maintain...

  14. Need help for writing a pathos statement for Altered MS

    shock-me-sane replied to slelder's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    i am guessing you are talking about mental status? My initial question would be is there any hypoxia? What are the electrolyte levels, how about ammonia? What does the patient have going on that would...

  15. Mental Health ATI and Leadership ATI

    shock-me-sane replied to zimmerduke's topic in General Students

    I've taken the mental health ATI. It was the easiest ATI I had taken so far, and my whole class agrees. Do you have the ATI book? Pretty much covers the content. Offhand I just remember there were...

  16. I got a job!At an abortion clinic?

    shock-me-sane replied to rrandle02's topic in General Nursing

    shock-me-sane replied to Suninmyheart's topic in General Nursing

    That is horrible! Mandatory hats...do they hire males too? I have only seen hats on LVN students in the hospital and I feel bad for

  21. VA Hopeful

    shock-me-sane replied to IIIseeyaa's topic in General Nursing

    I work at the VA. Not as a nurse but a healthcare tech. I did orientation and my background paperwork in June. It still isn't complete from their end. (I get to work even though). I will have to go...

  22. Can nursing schools kick out students who are overweight?

    shock-me-sane replied to veritas's topic in General Nursing

    Are you serious? The only way I could see that happening is if her weight was making her unable to perform functions necessary to pass skills and such. So it wouldn't be that her weight was the...

  23. Emailing your instructor

    shock-me-sane replied to Glina's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would totally do it (and have many times). Waiting for grades is the worst. At best you find out you rocked the test, at worst you have to wait til Saturday. Just make sure you ask

  24. California CE Requirement....

    shock-me-sane replied to GrizRNinWash's topic in General Nursing

    this is interesting to me. I will take my boards in California and am likely moving to another state. Sooo, after I get my license and use reciprocity to go to another state, I have to keep up the CE...

  25. Can consults be ordered by nurses?

    shock-me-sane replied to NoeIssa's topic in General Students
