  1. Statistics class

    BBboy replied to mago8388's topic in General Students

    I took it online and got an easy 4.0 (there's a reason why this teacher had a perfect rating from every student on his ratemyprofessor). I will look up the class schedule for winter and see if his...

  2. A little nursing help :^)

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

    Echoing what everyone else said. It's not the minimum requirement you should worry about. It's the other students who apply that you should because more often than not a 3.5 (min) or above is usually...

  3. CNA: What is it like working nightshift at a hospital??

    BBboy replied to Karatechick13's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I work full time nights at mine. It's honestly the same experience that you would get during a day shift just hours later. Nurses seem to be more lax for the most part and often times you have more...

  4. TEAS V, science testing: Why do practice tests help?

    BBboy replied to prenurseprep's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    People will say study just the manual, others will say go above and beyond. I've seen plenty of people with fantastic scores In the 90s and above with just the manual and others with subpar from just...

  5. CNA Application

    BBboy replied to Skowonski101's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm confused you got fired for copying off a students quiz while in class for your CNA license? Does that mean you didn't have your license and were kicked out of the program and you still attempted...

  6. Anatomy and Physiology grades this semester.

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

    dear god, 2 hours every day? I scored near a 100% and spent only 15-30 minutes everyday (practical exams kept me from the perfect 4.0, only part of the class where I just didn't do

  7. Anatomy and Physiology grades this semester.

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

    I'd say it more depends on what the rest of your pre-reqs look

  8. Nursing student frustrated by CNAs...

    BBboy replied to milliemack15's topic in General Students

    Sometimes you just can't help but work with less than ideal coworkers. I've had prior jobs where I was loved by all of my coworkers and residents alike but there would always be that one who always...

  9. A&P in 6 weeks

    BBboy replied to FayLynn87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would echo OP and say that A&P alone in a summer quarter is a task in itself but is very doable (I took that class alongside lifespan and my cna very taxing but I reap the rewards). If you can...

  10. color of clinical scrubs?

    BBboy replied to OnlinePersona's topic in General Students

    Our program's scrubs are all black (very sharp in my

  11. Teas test!

    BBboy replied to Lovendlive7760's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    May i ask what would be "failing" on the TEAS? I certainly didn't do amazing by any means on the TEAS but made it into nursing school due to my grades, recommendations, and essay (Our program didn't...

  12. TEAS V, science testing: Why do practice tests help?

    BBboy replied to prenurseprep's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    From experience the manual gave me everything i was questioned on the test. The practice tests in the back of the book allowed me to review where i was weak and go back and study the section. The...

  13. Help and advise for a new college student

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

    If you're on a quarter system: winter: -english -psychology 100 -A&P1 spring -A&P2 -lifespan development psych -Chemistry summer -statistics -nutrition -communication or anthropology...

  14. You're Welcome :)

    BBboy replied to alishab112's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    No because people routinely thank me for the work I do. There have been situations where residents were less thank thankful but it doesn't affect me and I don't harbor Ill feelings towards them. You...

  15. Awaiting acceptance....

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

    Ah yes the waiting game. I was fine for like 2 weeks after submitting my application but it slowly began to eat away at me once the notification date neared. On the day of notification I couldn't...

  16. Better while student: CNA or volunteer?

    BBboy replied to lmgst30's topic in General Students

    To OP: SNF experience > volunteering by a long shot. How I got into my

  17. Male CNA caring for females

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

    Male here, i have run into residents & patients who wanted female care only (only once in my years). If that is the case i just tell my nurse and get another CNA who can work with said person....

  18. Question about having cannabis card in California?

    BBboy replied to Janna16's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    At my hospital, in a state where we were one of the first to have legalized mj, it was in the fine print that any positive results of marijuana (Even if you had a cannabis card) would be a no go for...

  19. Overwhelmed by Prerequisites

    BBboy replied to Compassionate22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree that person was being very harsh to you. In reality there are many of us who have slaved 16 hour days of school and work everyday just to get into nursing school, myself included but that is...

  20. Overwhelmed by Prerequisites

    BBboy replied to Compassionate22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    TO AGLASS: My teacher taught us to study everything daily, but in halves. Say i had class M,W,F. Say i took about 2 pages of notes on that Monday. I would study half of what i learned that Monday,...

  21. Has Being a Male Benefited you MORE or LESS

    BBboy replied to Socal_EMT's topic in Male Nursing Students

    lol never bring up the female stereotype into any kind of interview anywhere. Sure, we may have something going in this field because there are typically more women but the risk of offending the...

  22. Overwhelmed by Prerequisites

    BBboy replied to Compassionate22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At my former school A&P2 and Chemistry were expected to be taken at the same time (both in the spring, no chance to take either of the two in the fall or A&P1 in the spring as they weren't...

  23. Overwhelmed by Prerequisites

    BBboy replied to Compassionate22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Many schools will have pre-reqs for the pre-reqs which can be annoying. I worked full time while finishing my remaining pre-reqs (yes even with micro which was a doozy). But rather than fall into the...

  24. Has Being a Male Benefited you MORE or LESS

    BBboy replied to Socal_EMT's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I would say being a male has benefitted me in every asset except the admissions process for nursing school. Mine was points based and I made it based off of that. However, I would say that landing a...

  25. How long did you study for the TEAS?

    BBboy replied to Salinnax3's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I took it once, passed, and got into nursing school (though it was my grades rather than test results that got me in). I only studied a few days prior and my effort wasn't entirely there however I did...
