  1. I want to be a nurse

    BBboy replied to Taniajl30's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Math is a very important subject in regards to nursing. If it makes you feel any better i too struggled with math but recently ended up making it into nursing school. I believe the most important part...

  2. Taking a year off; will it help or hurt?

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

    Why not just retake courses so that you have a better shot of getting into nursing school this quarter instead of hoping that the volunteer experiences will strengthen your application? It is honestly...

  3. What helped you do well in Chemistry?

    BBboy replied to LPNtoRNin2016OH's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Chemistry you have to know the ins & outs of the periodic table and have strong mental visualization. It's honestly just memory and repetition until it becomes second

  4. Fork in the road...Help

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

  6. Getting a C in CHEMISTRY

    BBboy replied to Ayanna93's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Some schools require Chemistry as a pre-req and reward it with points or add that to their overall application evaluation, others will judge it as a co-req simply needing completion. Not knowing what...

  7. new year resolution

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

    In my past experiences, the students with families and etc typically were the ones who earned better grades for the most part because they knew they had a lot on their plate yet they worked extra hard...

    BBboy replied to BBboy's topic in General Students

    So I don't keep up with this thread anymore since I had orientation. No the school isn't that adamant About it, In fact only time I need it covered would be during clinicals (strong handbook trying to...

    Congrats OP you sound exactly like me at 19 (only a year ago but time passes fast)! The work and school schedule will be hard but trust me you can do it! Coming from somebody who used to their work...

  10. Sexism in the Workplace

    BBboy replied to Zyprexa_Ho's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Lol I think there in lies your problem, the lack of a higher wage due to an increase of assistance towards others. And yes, you have a back to protect as does everyone else, precisely the reason why...

  11. a little perturb

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

    Don't blame your coworker, she obviously doesn't understand what the requirements are to get into a nursing program then eventually a nurse. Don't think she was trying to make it seem like you were...

  12. Sexism in the Workplace

    BBboy replied to Zyprexa_Ho's topic in Male Nursing Students

    As males we are typically the first to be called in these situations. Is it annoying? Yes, but really its not a big deal. Not sure what kind of claim you could have bringing this up to HR considering...

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

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

    Like I said in my previous post, these courses were not offered at any other time and i had to take them together with the exception of statistics. Previously said as well, these courses will build...

  15. Teas help

    BBboy replied to Lovendlive7760's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Reading was the section I second guessed myself the most but ended up scoring in the high national scores on. Just make sure to really understand every question you're reading as some seem to have...

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

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

    At my school you had to take A&P2 and Chem together (they were only offered during spring semesters). Is it a lot of work? Sure, but nursing is tough and more often than not students won't be...

  18. Annoying CNA

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

    Echoing what everyone said above. You bringing this up whilst in the company of family could've been seen as an attempt to throw your nurse under the bus although that may have not been your...

  19. A letter of encouragement for New CNA's (like me)

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

    I feel often as CNA's many of us tend to wallow in the issues that those we give care to present us. We often become self centered and forget that although this is just a Job to us, those we that...

  20. Failed anatomy and low GPA

    BBboy replied to cashpiper's topic in General Students

    BBboy replied to cashpiper's topic in General Students

    BBboy replied to .Olive.'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't worry OP, if there's one thing that you'll never run short of on this site it is negative Nancys' (SP?). I found that many of my peers when i took that class struggled simply because they...

  23. Pre Reqs/Admissions

    BBboy replied to grizzx's topic in General Students

    First, don't overlook any ADN programs. BSN programs at almost any university are difficult to get into and you will be thankful to receive admittance to A nursing program when the time comes (have to...

  24. Tattoos in Nursing School

    BBboy replied to BBboy's topic in General Students

    Pretty sure someone saying that my question isn't an issue is kind of rude because it's subjective to each person. I honestly don't care *****, I dont get worked up about things or people that...

  25. Tattoos in Nursing School

    BBboy replied to BBboy's topic in General Students

    To the last 2 or 3 posts: thank you. People either don't understand that these artistic expressions do have a lot of meaning to us (in fact both of my tattos are actually nursing related) and they...
