  1. breaks

    I'm only a nursing student, but this scares me more than a little. I do get lightheaded when I go more than about 6 hours without food. I'm also on a diuretic for hypertension, so I can't wait 12...
  2. Tampa/W. Coast Students Roll Call!

    Me neither! I want to get orientation over with so I can start planning everything and know what my schedule will look like
  3. My psycho Chemistry Professor (long vent)

    Yeah, getting extra time sounds weird to me too, but if that's his policy it's not right to change in the middle of the semester without warning. All of my exams are timed, and we take them on the...
  4. Tampa/W. Coast Students Roll Call!

    I thought we just had to have the BLS before classes (or clinicals?) started, so I haven't signed up for one yet. I hoped they'd give us more info at orientation...I got everything else out of the way...
  5. Premed to prenursing?

    How far into med school prereqs are you? What if you don't shut any doors just yet, go for a BSN, and be a premed student with a nursing major? Then you would have the option to goto med school at a...
  6. What to do while waiting?!?

    What type of program is it? If it's not BSN, you could get all those prereqs out of the way so you can bridge later on if you so desire. Also, at my school they will let you take a couple of courses...
  7. So . . .is nursing your final stop?

    I'm going for an accelerated BSN, because I'm pretty sure I'll at least want a masters and I didn't want any extra steps with bridge programs and the like. I definitely think I would enjoy being an...
  8. I've heard of "Old Timer's" disease too. My A&P professor, who is an MD as well as an RN, has difficulty pronouncing any word with more than three syllables. Unfortunately, there are a lot of...
  9. Tampa/W. Coast Students Roll Call!

    Awesome! I already got my shots and dropped off my letter of intent, and can't wait until orientation - is yours on 4/10 also? I think we take similar classes first semester, at
  10. A&P II Club, 2007

    I had spring break 2 weeks ago, then last week I got accepted to nursing school - YAY!!!! Thing is, now I have an A&P exam on Tues and it's much harder to get motivated to study. I have to...
  11. My nutrition prof told us that she has actually been partially won over by the low-carb diet fad. She said that for people who only have a little weight to lose (overweight, not obese) that cutting...
  12. Average GPA

    Type of program makes a difference too, as well as whether they look at cumulative GPA or give more weight to prereqs. An accelerated program looking at your cumulative GPA from previous degree and...
  13. Microbiology before A & P I & II

    If you're under a time crunch, definitely go for it. Take anything you can right now, and just be prepared to work really hard. Many of us are going back with 5-1o yrs plus since we've taken some...
  14. 1/2. I know where the keys are, but I get off by one sometimes, so I tend to glance down. 3. No, b/c my accuracy does slip if I don't look or if I have to read something else. 4. 45 on their test,...
  15. Acceptances for the year 2007

    USF Tampa, accelerated BSN, start in
  16. My 2nd degree program simply requires a "bachelor's degree," which a BFA is. Definitely check individual schools, but it seems weird that a BFA would not count but a BA in, say, art history does. You...
  17. Tired all the time!!!

    My husband and I are very seriously considering hiring a maid service. I figure if I quit my job, I could go to nursing school and keep the house clean, but I make more in a week than a maid costs,...
  18. Microbiology before A & P I & II

    My school required micro before A&P, and basic chem and bio before micro. I had gotten AP bio credit from high school 8 years before, so I jumped into micro with no recent bio background. It was...
  19. Prereq classes vs. nursing school

    Where I went micro was a prereq for A&P. So was
  20. I don't have weight to lose but would like to join anyway - I do have high BP, and for being 27 and not overweight at all I need to figure out why. I cut down my salt a couple years ago, with no...
  21. Male Nurse?

    I used to date a male nurse, and it's part of how I began to find out about the field and become interested in it. He loved what he does, and inspired me once upon a time to begin learning about the...
  22. I need to write a position paper for my English class, and I am thinking of writing it on Gardasil and the implications of mandatory vaccination. I was planning on looking at the religious right's...
  23. paper on Gardasil

    Thanks JSU, I just printed it out, and I'll let you know if I have any questions. Appreciate
  24. To those with acceptance letters...

    USF accelerated BSN in Tampa - start in
  25. Overwhelmed and confused by education needs

    Look at the registered nurses: Diploma, ADN, or BSN forum under general -all allow you to take the same licensure exam, and there are pros and cons to
