    BBboy replied to kit's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I have received confirmation that if selected for admission that it will be a provisional acceptance and I can submit the BSN after the deadline! Good luck with your

  2. Applying to CRNA school before BSN conferred?

    BBboy replied to kit's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm in the same predicament. First time applicant applying with several years of ICU, ER, and UPC activity but my BSN will not be complete until after the deadline for my priority school. Have reached...

  3. how to survive acute psychiatric ward placement

    BBboy replied to bindawang1989's topic in General Students

    For me personally, I've spent about 2 years in the mental health settings prior to working in a hospital so communicating with someone that would be found in a setting such as a psych clinical wasn't...

  4. Made a big mistake (CNA)

    BBboy replied to Firas5's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    OP I am 23 but was a CNA for about 3 years before becoming a nurse. I work with many travel nurses who are agency employed at my hospital and it is important that when you search for jobs that you...

  5. Clinical instructor feels I'm not competent?

    BBboy replied to Holopugs's topic in General Students

    Don't listen to your instructor. During my first hospital rotation my instructor pulled me aside and made me redo an additional clinical day by myself because she wasn't so sure about me as I was...

  6. Has ATI Testing helped you during Nursing school?

    BBboy replied to guest798886's topic in General Students

    ATI sucks in my opinion. Gave me a 30% chance of passing the NCLEX and I passed it in the minimum amount of questions in 40 minutes. I graduate and sit for my NCLEX-RN in

  7. Part Time CNA Full Time Nursing School

    BBboy replied to MysticTopaz's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I work part time nights while being full time in nursing school (entering my third quarter). It's difficult because I offen leave work then go directly to class or clinical (sometimes I have to leave...

  8. I just failed my first Anatomy lab practical.

    BBboy replied to velvette's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You said it yourself, being sick cut into your study time. Anatomy practicals are pretty straightforward in that they show whether or not somebody really spent the proper amount of time preparing....

  9. Is biochem going to kill me? Am I just not cut out for this?!

    BBboy replied to maahcyjo's topic in General Students

    Suck it up buttercup, we've all had to go through tough classes to get into nursing and chemistry is no exception(in my opinion the pre-req I spent the most effort on). Things will only get tougher as...

  10. Failed Test

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

    It's not unreasonable, plenty of people fail on hand washing. Not sure about your state or if it's the norm everywhere but handwashing is the first skill for a reason. Not sure how they wouldn't have...

  11. A & P

    BBboy replied to jessicamorehead's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What do you want me to say? Everyone in this day and age is dealing with some sort of grave matter with the circumstances worsening from one person to the next. Whether or not you make the grade is up...

  12. A & P

    BBboy replied to jessicamorehead's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Somewhere hundreds of pre nursing students are frantically searching for the nursing school you got into. But seriously, don't come into a class trying to get the minimum. 75% won't cut it in nursjng...

  13. How do you learn the material?

    BBboy replied to Amaryllis787's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A&P is literally all memorization. How well you do in that class is based on how well you can regurgitate the info youre presented with. You just need to consistently go over the lab material to...

  14. Pre-requisites (A&P)

    BBboy replied to bdarden07's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    say the same thing every time. If you don't meet the requirement for one school look elsewhere, you are NOT bound to one school meaning you can apply elsewhere in which you may possibly meet their...

  15. Taking Anatomy for the second time

    BBboy replied to hellfirecat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Showing proficiency in A&P is an early indication of whether or not one has the chops to succeed in nursing school. Aside from that A&P is literally just all memorization, you're not going to...

  16. Are CNAs being phased out?

    BBboy replied to g_majied CNA,PC's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Pretty sure they'd keep the CNA's so that they wouldn't have to pay the LPN

  17. How did you get an A in anatomy?

    BBboy replied to ana_96's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took A&P 1 over a summer and A&P 2 over the spring. Got A's because i studied a little bit of the information daily, spent a lot of time reviewing lab material. It's really not difficult at...

  18. Taking clothes off for a head to toe assessment

    BBboy replied to evelyn305's topic in General Students

    Be ready to get vey comfortable with your cohort, we did this when learning assessments in first quarter. You can wear a tank top that way all they have to do is pull it back down after

  19. Difficulty of nursing school?

    BBboy replied to eman1haddad's topic in General Students

    I was an A student prior to nursjng school and have retained my A thus far through 2 quarters. The academic side isn't exactly hard but the sheer volume of info is what can make it difficult. Honestly...

  20. Need help finding schools that will accept low GPA or lottery

    BBboy replied to kevonneo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What makes you think you can do well in a nursing program if you haven't even shown the minimum proficiency in pre-reqs? Nursing isn't something you can take lightly, academically or in real

  23. Advice on applying to other nursing programs due to clinical failure.

    BBboy replied to Lionami's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nodding off at clinical because you slept 4 hours? I work overnight 12s then come to class or clinical for 8 hours multiple days throughout the week. Drink an energy drink or coffee, no excuses. Many...

  24. Advice on applying to other nursing programs due to clinical failure.

    BBboy replied to Lionami's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't show up late to clinicals, ever. This shows professionalism. What do you think is going to happen when you show up late to work to work repeatedly if you were to become a nurse? Not so sure...
