    I just read this different list from U.S. News of the top 10 nursing schools: Top 10 Nursing Schools in the US |

  2. Do nurses do med math

    direw0lf replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    Yes you're right. Our teacher just told us the other day that if we think an order is wrong we call the physician. If he still says give the order, and we still think it's wrong, we call pharmacy. If...

  3. Weeding Out.

    direw0lf replied to SabineEffect's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just a little note of interest, my pathos class does give different exams to nursing students than the other majors, but I think that has to do with the kaplan and nclex style. But afaik not one of us...

  4. Act like you are grateful to be in College

    direw0lf replied to honeyforasalteyfish's topic in General Students

  5. tutoring is worth it

    direw0lf replied to KThurmond's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's rough (but at least there's a light at the end of the tunnel with the extra credit and more chances!) we've all been there where we know it and our excitement about that gets the best of us...

  6. Honors society

    direw0lf posted a topic in General Students

    Does being in more honors societies help a lot when applying for a school for your MSN/NP? The fee for one I was just inducted in is $75 but I also want to join a student nurse organization which is...

  7. tutoring is worth it

    direw0lf replied to KThurmond's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  8. tutoring is worth it

    direw0lf replied to KThurmond's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nice! I agree with you! I'm giving up my morning off for tutoring after working the night before. But I'm feeling really good about this semester. Update about the test when you

  10. Act like you are grateful to be in College

    direw0lf replied to honeyforasalteyfish's topic in General Students

  12. Stop Interrupting

    direw0lf replied to Leanneo's topic in General Students

    Well... if you need help to stop interrupting, think of it this way: you will not be a very popular student or nurse on the unit or with your instructor or patients if you keep interrupting during...

  13. MSN vs ABSN

    direw0lf replied to MondanaDeVonne's topic in General Students

    I'm really not very familiar with entry level MSN, but you might want to look at financial cost to help your decision? I believe you'll get more from financial aid to still be obtaining a bachelor's...

  14. Do nurses do med math

    direw0lf replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    I got a 100 on kaplan dosages (it was basic but still had scenerios!) and a 98 on my class exam on pills to IV infusions and drip rate! I made a mistake with the calculator, typed the wrong number....

    direw0lf replied to bellavita20's topic in School, College Programs

  18. Do nurses do med math

    direw0lf replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    Thanks! I decided to just do dosage calculations and no "scenarios" even though I thought "Oh I got this already" I did more. That actually helped when I went back to my book with the problems that...

    direw0lf replied to createddaisy's topic in General Students

    Hey createddaisy. Two things I noticed that I just wanted to say I noticed you only "liked" the two people who wrote they are identical to you pretty much. You claim this wasn't a rant, yet you wrote...

  22. How to deal with loneliness as a VERY young RN student...any help or advice?

    direw0lf replied to createddaisy's topic in General Students

    Try desperately to be different how? You mean not talking inappropriately and to act mature? My cohort does not do the things you described about conversation and we're mostly 19. Sure a discussion...

  23. How to deal with loneliness as a VERY young RN student...any help or advice?

    direw0lf replied to createddaisy's topic in General Students

    That's just what I was wondering about, how you act with bedside manner? Patients will use profanity, talk about sex (you should ask about sex!), and about their personal problems! Maybe to help you,...

  24. Should I press ahead, or slow down?

    direw0lf replied to honeyforasalteyfish's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey Gaven I thought I had made the perfect prereq and gen ed routine. I took 18 credits every semester but I wish I had taken more hard ones at once. Now that I'm deeper in the nursing classes, we...

  25. How to deal with loneliness as a VERY young RN student...any help or advice?

    direw0lf replied to createddaisy's topic in General Students

    Do you think your classmates pick up on how you feel like you are more mature and have to babysit them? I'm not criticizing how you act, just they may be aware of it and avoid you (except for a quick...
