  1. Skeletal system

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

    If your school provides the skeleton in lab I would suggest taking pictures of all the bones. Otherwise you can find pictures online and even games and quizzes that will help

  3. Did anyone find anatomy easy?

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

    I always thought A&P was easy when i took those courses. In all honesty you could slide through that series with A's just by memorization of the systems and knowing the models by heart. Its not...

    BBboy replied to sandiegotrish's topic in General Students

    Haha well I'm a traditional college age student and I don't have a means to pay for everything without working, tuition car etc. I like to think at a certain point you reach a certain level of...

  6. Getting Accepted

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

    Grades are almost everything when it comes to applying. Work on those and reapply at a later time, not much else that can be said

  7. More important to lay low or fit in?

    BBboy replied to FuturePN's topic in General Students

    I think it'd be best to try and make friends with your cohort, you'll be with this group for quite a bit of time and you'll lean on each other during the roughest of times when you need the motivation...

  8. The waiting is the hardest part!

    BBboy replied to cheriya1217's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  9. What are my chances of getting into nursing school?

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

    Knowing that cali is a very competitive state for nursing you may find admissions tough at most schools. Lottery based you may have the greatest shot at. Me personally i applied twice, the first time...

  10. Low Undergrad GPA in Non-Nursing Major

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

    Some schools may look at your overall coursework others may look at only your pre-reqs and additional items. Really just depends on where you are applying, I'd say for ABSN programs you'd be at a...

  11. Should I press ahead, or slow down?

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

    If you can get them all done at a fast pace WITH high grades i say continue. The fact that you don't work too often will allow you more time to study but i suggest staying on top of everything as all...

  12. Struggling to get an A in A and P ?

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

    When i was still in pre-nursing all my pre-reqs were done with a full course load. Personally i studied A and P little by little every day. Studied half my notes on one day and half on the other....

  13. What was the best thing about CNA school?

    BBboy replied to Vtachy1's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    My class was pretty big, took it at a small school specifically for nursing courses and certs and etc, I thought the education itself was interesting as was breaking into small groups and doing...

  14. Underage drinking question? please help

    BBboy replied to xjay22's topic in General Students

    No need for me to read any of the prior posts. OP I too am a young a nursing student, once could've gotten in major trouble after a party in a similar situation (good thing it was campus police and...

  15. Starting my pre-reqs soon & working p/t in a non-medical field

    BBboy replied to NurseWannabe2021's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I worked full time while completing my pre-reqs (start nursing school Monday). Is it easy? Not exactly but you have to manage your time well. I would suggest working SNF then trying to apply towards a...

  16. PLU for Fall 2016 anyone?

    BBboy replied to Trouble1996's topic in School, College Programs

    Good luck, i used to attend the university (i got into nursing recently elsewhere). High GPA transfer student is definitely something that is reminiscent of those in current

  17. Annoying CNA

    BBboy replied to Bellaxx392's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Ladyfth is just the type of aide nurses and CNA's don't want to work with. It honestly always astounds me the type of people you encounter in this field

  18. Padding Your Resume

    BBboy replied to Guest915876's topic in General Students

    I work at a Hospital and 3/4 of us in my hiring group are all nursing students. If you're under a year left before becoming an RN I would maybe suggest waiting. I work with plenty of nurses who didn't...

  19. Online course

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

    Intro to stats you can pretty much take anywhere online, normally most teachers (in my experience) will allow you into the class without prior pre-reqs if you have shown good grades in the rest of...

  20. Annoying CNA

    BBboy replied to Bellaxx392's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You do realize that this can't all be pinned on the nurse right? Working in this field you should know that anything can happen at any given time. If the nurse was unable to address the issue earlier...

  21. GUYS I Decided after reading several posts here that Nursing is a Dream!!!!!!

    BBboy replied to MSBREELEE's topic in Nursing Career

    After reading through your posts I applaud you on your decision to NOT pursue nursing any further. It takes a special type of person to be a great nurse, not just a competent one or one that simply...

  22. Post Interview Wait

    BBboy replied to Deneshia94's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Did they give you a tour of the facility at the end of your interview? In my experience that's an indicator that you will in fact be

  23. Nursing school advice! PLEASE help

    BBboy replied to Queeenp45's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    OP what is your overall GPA? If you know that the programs you're applying to are points based are you achieving high grades? Nursing is competitive pretty much anywhere ADN or BSN so unless there's...

  24. I Want To Be An Over-Achiever

    BBboy replied to Generallyspeaking's topic in General Students

    I think taking everything with a grain of salt and trying to make the best of every situation are the most important things to remember. Often we'll get so down on ourselves about our studies or a...

  25. Patients safety attendant sitter

    BBboy replied to Alinachavez's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I am a tech and typically our float pool CNA's will work as "sitters" for patients. Pretty much you'll sit there for the duration of the shift 1 on 1 with the patient and make sure they don't do...
