Ok, sit down and figure out the minimum grade you can get in everything left to get the b you need... Are your lab and lecture combined for a single final grade, or are they two separate grades?

I am probably wrong, but I would go to 3 first. Here is my reasoning: 2 is obviously not a priority, it needs to be done, but it is not too time sensitive. 1 and 3 need to be seen and are currently stable, but could turn into lengthy visits, delaying...

At my Cc where I took my prereqs (most of which I did online), the transcripts do not indicate if a class was done online or in person, so the schools I applied to had no way of knowing anyway. Do you know for sure it will even show on your transcrip...

Ya, my favorite group story: I was asked by the other group members to be the "leader". So, I asked for ideas on how we wanted to tackle... when none were given I gave a possible example, then a couple ideas came out, then we all agreed on one path t...

I LOVE THIS THREAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, I have spent the last 10+ years with a focus on self improvement. I am big on open mindedness. I m big on education and learning. I am big on patient care. I am big on never thinking I know it all simply because I may have already done this, that...

Yes! This is a very good point!

I totally get this. I have worked as CNA as well as a tech for many years. My mom is saying that no matter what, even with this experience as well as doing well in school, I will have a hard time getting hired just bc I alswo worked as a medic.

What area are you in? The community college that I did my prereqs at offered all math classes at or below college algebra as online courses. Anything above this had to be taken in person.​

While this may be true of your school and many others, I don't think it is right to lump all nursing schools together. The school I start in the fall allows IV's, med pushes, most all skills after passing competency exams. This is something I already...

Ya, I about passed out.. no joke, I actually got very dizzy when I saw the grand total of my texts... and I haven't even purchased scrubs yet

Wow, it seems silly that a program wouldn't let you start IV's. But then again, I went to medic school when we were still allowed to practice IV's on each other (the students)... It really doesn't seem all that long ago, but when I tell people this t...

Whoa.. kinda wrote a book there. Sorry guys... I think I just wanted to write a lot so I could avoid going back to microbiology... final is thursday...

I have read most of the comments here. An observation I have made is that there are excellent points on both sides. I love reading these types of posts so I can keep them in mind when I am in clinicals and when I finally get my first job. I want to s...

Ya I'm having the same problem. :) We are almost there. My last exam was thursday and our final is this thursday. Our unknown lab specimins are due tuesday. Then we are DONE! Good luck to you!

I commented on the wrong one of your posts. I shouldn't have posted in the entrepreneurial page. I don't have any tips for you bc I just don't know anything about finding ways to make more money beyond finding higher paying hospitals. I did want to ...

I don't have any tips for you bc I just don't know anything about finding ways to make more money beyond finding higher paying hospitals. I did want to say something about the "in it for the money" thing. I have heard this phrase many times my whole ...

To be honest, you sound like a good candidate for Paramedicine. I loved it. 85% of calls are ho-hum, but there are those last 15% that are real traumas/ medicals. When I first started, I was all about the trauma. After a while, though, all the trauma...

Ya, ok, even I thought this this time... not again

I'm confused... how does someone not see the difference between dead and dying? This is a fundamental item that any health care provider should really understand well.

I don't think threatening to report this type of personality will do any good. It would likely add fuel to the fire. I'm just saying different personality types should be handled differently.... Not all fire is the same. You put a wood fire out with ...

I agree with just about everything I have read here. I do have one question, though. Before the very first time you went to management to request getting a different person to train you, did you ever try approaching her one on one and try to figure o...

You got this!!

I have one week left... we have an exam Thursday, our unknown lab project begins tomorrow, then final is next thursday. I can maintain an A in the course if I get a 90 on this exam and the project, and get a 70 on my final... crossing my fingers! I;m...

THIS! Good for you OP. Self improvement is a wonderful, life-long adventure.
