  1. Quick question about Bruits

    direw0lf replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    Well..I don't know exactly. I was thinking it's true with hyperthyroidism to cause bruits in the carotids..kind of assumed something hyper metabolic for other arteries. Oops.

  2. what were your best/least liked classes this semester

    direw0lf posted a topic in General Students

    I'm studying for my fundamentals final and it's probably my least liked class. The material seems so easy in class (ex: Critical thinking has 3 levels basic, complex, and commitment) But then the...

  3. Getting motivated...

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

    It's good practice for the future, so you don't get burned out and you last longer, so just do it: Turn off the computer/laptop and put your phone out of your reach even turn it off! If you absolutely...

  4. So I might have just failed my first nursing class

    direw0lf replied to alie46's topic in General Students

    I think the "over a class" part of Heather's comment could have been interpreted two ways. One way is sarcastic/mocking like "just over a class, you're crazy" or the second way is sincere that just...

  5. what were your best/least liked classes this semester

    direw0lf replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    I can't wait to find out which I like/dislike more as I continue....I think I'd like peds and psych but have yet to see! Some of my upper classmates said they didn't like peds because it's hard to get...

  6. Failed anatomy and low GPA

    direw0lf replied to cashpiper's topic in General Students

    It used to frustrate me or I'd feel bad about myself a little knowing that some of my classmates literally did not put the study time in but pulled the same grade as me (usually an A). They'd be out...

  7. Should I continue as a Pre-Nursing student?

    direw0lf replied to tsstudent's topic in General Students

    Maybe a Patient Advocate. But I mean this is just me, I would find a way to help yourself succeed in anything you want. "I can not pay attention 3 hours straight" yeah I had trouble in some evening...

  8. Done with first semester!

    direw0lf replied to Dd04321's topic in General Students

    I should focus more on studying for finals right now but I've been distracted all day! Um my semester was mixed. A lot of adjusting to my classmates and to touching bodies, etc. Learning to trust...

  9. HELP I need advice.

    direw0lf replied to KNLB's topic in General Students

    Well some questions I'd ask are these: 1. Are you organized enough? Are you using time wisely? Do you have times set out to study and stick to that schedule every day? Do you make time to prepare for...

  10. Confused between Nursing and PA

    direw0lf replied to Loveleen Sahni's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I made a list of pros and cons maybe that would help you. I basically felt nursing has more field choices and autonomy and a bit more guarantee for school and a job. And I like the holistic nursing...

  11. phlebotomist first

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

    My one week phlebotomy cert course consisted of learning about different collection tubes and what you need to do for them (centrifuge, tap, etc), needle types and gauges, anatomy, infection, and...

  12. littman stethoscopes

    direw0lf replied to KThurmond's topic in General Students

    I listened to my classmate's Littman cardiology III steth. I took bp, auscultated heart and breath sounds. I'm not advanced of course but I heard no difference between my $50 cardiology brand. (RA...

  13. do you think this is rude?

    direw0lf replied to ssquared123's topic in General Students

    But...what if those nurses were annoyed the cna left the room? What if they didn't see her as being discluded from the conversation? What if a nurse turned around to say "Good point right ssqared. .?"...

  14. opinions about this..for a job

    direw0lf posted a topic in General Students

    I have an ex-aunt (she divorced my uncle) who has been a long time RN floor manager. I am friendly with her kids still and they say she asks how I'm doing all the time but I haven't spoken to her or...

  15. College books are the biggest scams ever

    direw0lf replied to LPNtoRNin2016OH's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I buy my books ahead of time because I hunt them on chegg and other discount book sellers to get deals. BuzzBuzzBuzz, wrong. I ended up not using the Mosby videos I spent a total of $150 on, didn't...

  16. Help and advise for a new college student

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

    Good luck!!! You'll probably take a biology class for your first science, and general ed classes like English. Psychology and a world ed class like anthropology is usually suggested too the first...

  17. color of clinical scrubs?

    direw0lf replied to OnlinePersona's topic in General Students

    White lab coat, I already have pen marks on it. Dark blue scrubs and white shoes. I realized that scrubs are just the right weight to either feel too cold or too

  18. Hardest part of nursing school?

    direw0lf replied to Nurseades2b's topic in General Students

    Mine is probably the time one. Finding the time for the nursing classes, studying, assignments along with everything else I want to do. Sacrificing things I want to do, not just things for leisure...

  19. Nursing to med school experiences?

    direw0lf replied to floatingribs's topic in General Students

    "Growing up I knew I always had a more advanced development of learning...how doctors are taught to think" Would that be their arrogance? And actually no. The reason it's difficult to do nursing plus...

  20. Embarrassed and depressed

    direw0lf replied to beezwax404's topic in General Students

    Helping your mom at home is actually an admirable person to me. If you were say treating your mom bad, not picking up your own laundry, not helping her clean, etc then I'd be turned off. (My point...

  21. where do you learn blood draws

    direw0lf replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    Thanks again everyone. I took a 1 wk phlebotomy course (in the past) and got to practice 3x. I wasn't successful with any of them on my own. The teacher helped guide me the 3rd time. I need to look...

  22. Nursing to med school experiences?

    direw0lf replied to floatingribs's topic in General Students

    Well I met someone in my program who qualifies! He's getting his bsn in nursing, and taking 2 extra years for med school requirements because he "doesn't need the money." Our school is rated very well...

  23. Should I major in nursing? Advice please!

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

    I come from a family of teachers. It's no easy task to get the job you want unless you have connections. And the frustration is real when you can't teach your cirriculum because you need to prepare...

  24. Should I major in nursing? Advice please!

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

    I agree and disagree with different things people said in this post. Your best determining factor would be to speak to nurses where you live: shadow a

  25. What do you do for money during nursing school?

    direw0lf replied to Infofreak411's topic in General Students

    Are you in the nursing program already? I mean is your spot set? Because if so well this may sound bad but you don't have to worry about all A's although that would help getting scholarship money..but...
