  2. Chiropractor Looking to Start Nursing School

    SunnyTrailRunner replied to crimsonsky's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm currently an adult student in a traditional BSN program. We have kids, dogs, a house, etc. For me, I could not imagine doing everything while worrying about making enough income for the bills to...

  3. Asking professors for references

    SunnyTrailRunner replied to RookieRoo's topic in General Students

    I asked my clinical instructor and my advisor (because we talk a lot). They both gave me outstanding recommendations and went out of their way to do so. My clinical instructor told me to let her know...

  4. Pre-Nursing student STRESSING PLEASE HELP

    SunnyTrailRunner replied to Prettybirdy's topic in General Students

    In all honesty, if you're at the minimum requirement, you probably won't get in. I'm in a BSN program and the minimum requirement was a 3.0. The lowest GPA accepted was a 3.7. Halfway through the...

  5. Another GPA Question

    SunnyTrailRunner replied to KayGee's topic in General Students

    I'm in a BSN program where the min requirement is 3.0. The lowest admitted GPA was a 3.7. Good luck to you! I certainly hope you are able to get into a

  6. WANTED: Instructor and Student Perspectives on ATI in the Classroom

    SunnyTrailRunner replied to la_chica_suerte85's topic in General Students

    I hate ATI. Sometimes it's helpful, but it is mostly a waste of time. In our program there is a running joke. We have to know how the world works in the NCLEX hospital, real hospital, and the ATI...

    SunnyTrailRunner posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hey all! I am currently in a BSN program and I have this summer off. My heart is in women's health and always has been. Is there anything you'd recommend I do to help give me an extra boost to get...

  8. What to do over the summer?

    SunnyTrailRunner replied to SunnyTrailRunner's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thank you so much for your reply! I will definitely check out CLC! My school pairs with a local hospital for a summer externship. I plan to do it; but it is incredibly competitive within the program....

  9. Failing nursing school!!!

    SunnyTrailRunner replied to nat_22's topic in General Students

    Fundies seems like the hardest semester just because you are transitioning from pre-req thinking to nursing school thinking. First, do something else. What I mean by this is start doing something...

    SunnyTrailRunner posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hi all! I am writing a careplan for impaired gas exhange r/t fluid and exudate accumulation at the capillary-alveolar membrane. However, I am having trouble finding how one would assess this. What...

    SunnyTrailRunner replied to SunnyTrailRunner's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thank you, Grntea! This definitely helps me understand the process of writing careplans more easily. This is one of the careplans due on the first day of classes, before the semester even

    SunnyTrailRunner replied to mondomagic's topic in General Students

    Have you been studying the ATI modules? Most modules have extra practice questions and scenarios you can go through. If you click around, there should also be practice finals somewhere. Does your...

  14. r/t fluid and exudate accumulation at the capillary-alveolar membrane

    SunnyTrailRunner replied to SunnyTrailRunner's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I would look at the ABGs, look at the pts appearance for pallor color or nasal flaring, and I would want to auscultate lungs for crackles - which is fluid. I guess I'm still thinking black and white....

    SunnyTrailRunner replied to SunnyTrailRunner's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Fake patient without any given data. I am using my nursing diagnosis manual with all the NANDAs. I'm just trying to figure out how I would assess the r/t. Is it something that be heard through a...

  16. Classes for next semester

    SunnyTrailRunner replied to waiting4ivpush's topic in General Students

    I would take full time so you can prepare yourself for the amount of school work for the nursing program. However, that's just my opinion. Only you know what you are able to handle and you need a...

  17. Classes for next semester

    SunnyTrailRunner replied to waiting4ivpush's topic in General Students

    I haven't taken Chem, so I cannot comment there. Stats is nothing like algebra and, for me, it was incredibly boring. Studying for it was really easy to blow off. But, overall, the subject matter is...

  18. Meds?!!

    SunnyTrailRunner replied to x0xerika's topic in General Students

    In my opinion, it would be more beneficial if you studied physiology. Focus on the major systems. I think that will help you way more than trying to study pharmacology before starting the

  22. ...Advice?

    SunnyTrailRunner replied to SunnyTrailRunner's topic in General Students

    I know exactly what you mean! The first half of the semester it seemed as though I was just in a fog. Everyone always came to me to find out what was due or going on. Apparently I fake confidence...
