  1. where do you learn blood draws

    direw0lf replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    Thanks all! I feel better in one way but a little concerned about needing to be so good on an interview, but that's good to know now. We have dummies in our lab so I hope we at least will practice on...

  2. Overwhelmed by Prerequisites

    direw0lf replied to Compassionate22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Reminds me of one of my favorite old movies "A League of their Own" quote by Tom Hanks: "It's supposed to be hard. If it wasn't hard everyone would do it. The hard is what makes it great." College is...

  3. Lost computer files

    direw0lf replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    Yeah I also have windows 8. I don't update to 10 because you can't play videos on it and I need to use mosby skills videos with

  4. Lost computer files

    direw0lf posted a topic in General Students

    I got a virus called cryptowall. They encrypte all files and photos, and ransom them for $500-1000. I lost my nursing notes, ebooks, many pictures, all my essays and power points I made from previous...

  5. Lost computer files

    direw0lf replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    I just read this and THANK YOU SO MUCH because I did have a USB drive attached to the computer for handing in assignments sometimes and I just left it in..now I'm not going to reattach it until it's...

  6. Finish Bachelors or go to LPN school?

    direw0lf replied to mrscarr104's topic in General Students

    What would it matter what she does next (like Lpn school) if she just fails again? She said she's afraid of failing again. That's the most important thing to address imo. Hopefully it helps her but if...

  7. Overwhelmed by Prerequisites

    direw0lf replied to Compassionate22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Great post! Important to remember that while those type of classes don't apply to nursing or your future enough to majorly stress, they *do* apply to help broaden your knowledge, problem solving,...

  8. CNA before Accelerated BSN Program

    direw0lf replied to nerdyy.nurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    All I can speak of is my area but the hospital staffing and even my nursing teachers could care less who holds a CNA license and even discouraged working in nursing homes as one. Ask around your area...

  9. Who is so ready for fall semester to be over?!?

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

    All that's left here are 2 PowerPoint presentations, 1 practical, 1 bio final, 2 nursing finals, and 1 head to toe, so rdy!! (Lol to the tune of "12 days of

  10. Nursing to med school experiences?

    direw0lf replied to floatingribs's topic in General Students

    I think new college students should explore I just hated to see you set up for maybe not the best shot you were thinking, since you had no experience with taking these classes yet, and so many come to...

  11. Finish Bachelors or go to LPN school?

    direw0lf replied to mrscarr104's topic in General Students

    I always read those who are LPNs on this site say how intense their program was. I think you should evaluate how you are studying and what needs to be changed about that so you have success. See your...

  12. mommy guilt

    direw0lf replied to KThurmond's topic in General Students

    He'll pick up on your emotions so feeling like you're guilty or wronged him might make him feel like you're right! It's hard though. I just have DOGS and I felt guilty haha. You love him up when...

  13. Nursing to med school experiences?

    direw0lf replied to floatingribs's topic in General Students

    You are a entering as a freshman correct? You may say "I'll just take 2 orgos" and "if I see my grades slip I'll stop" but both are easier said than done even for the brightest and best. It may be too...

  14. Unsure in my first semester

    direw0lf replied to Moonlightstar's topic in General Students

    I just wonder if this is about nursing or really about anxiety and will you have these feelings about any major or career because you may not be dealing with anxiety best? I'm sorry you're at the...

  15. How hard is it to get your #1 choice for clinicals?

    direw0lf replied to floatingribs's topic in General Students

    Oh you're in Rutgers! I know about that school. Had a family member and some friends go there although I don't live near the area anymore. The gen eds can be tough with such big classes but you seem...

  16. How hard is it to get your #1 choice for clinicals?

    direw0lf replied to floatingribs's topic in General Students

    Imo: I'm guessing they keep info on clinicals limited every semester actually. They need to collaborate with nearby colleges. In my school you get to register first if you're an honors student,...

  17. What would you do?

    direw0lf replied to jess714300's topic in General Students

    I'd go to the dean ask to be kept anonymous and voice that it's unfair for the grades to be lowered for people who got it right. My school is small so this works..I don't know about a large

  18. Nursing to med school experiences?

    direw0lf replied to floatingribs's topic in General Students

    I understood it didn't have to be a double major but at least in my school it would be like a waste imo not to take the few more classes in addition for what med schools require. Unless you talk about...

  19. Just got accepted now what??

    direw0lf replied to Faada's topic in General Students

    Reviewing everything in a&p was important in my first semester. For me especially respiratory (diseases, breath sounds), cardiac (the flow of blood, diseases, heart sounds and what causes them,...

  20. Hurt and Betrayed

    direw0lf replied to MeiDei's topic in General Students

    I couldn't help notice that you reply only to the posts that agree with you 100%. I used to be like that, but it didn't get me anywhere. There are bigger fish to

  21. School problem!!!

    direw0lf posted a topic in General Students

    I don't think this counts as full bullying but..so in one of my science classes some students have been "picking on" me (I sound like a whiny baby saying that!) But it really bothered me today. In all...

  22. School problem!!!

    direw0lf replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    Well. I haven't had one problem since this post actually! Maybe they are too worried about finals or maybe I show a "I'm over you" attitude I am not sure probably it's the finals. As well as one of...

  23. Nursing to med school experiences?

    direw0lf replied to floatingribs's topic in General Students

    I can double major in bio and nursing if I choose and planned it out plus took classes twd both already. It's HARD. When will you find time for your volunteer hours and mcat plus nclex prep? For...

  24. Can nurses specialize in working with children or adults with disablites

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

    Compare with occupational therapist, physical therapist and their respective assistants also. Physical therapist assistant makes good $ for an associate's degree but schools are fiercely competitive I...

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