    PH and the mitocondria

    oldsockventriloquist replied to Zooey72's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So, the mitochondria, which is the energy powerhouse of the cell, has two membranes: the outer membrane and inner membrane. Those membranes are separated by the intermembrane space. Past the inner...

    So, the math can vary depending on the chemistry topics (i.e. stoichiometry). What is your class currently learning? This might help in getting constructive

    Best BSN fast track degree ?

    oldsockventriloquist replied to emilyleah's topic in General Students

    The person does not have an undergraduate degree. I'd be curious to know if your program requires an associate's or bachelor's degree. The only program I found that was 11 months was the Drexel ACE...

    Best BSN fast track degree ?

    oldsockventriloquist replied to emilyleah's topic in General Students

    So, just to make sure, you're going to get your first college degree, before pursuing a second college degree. Even if the ABSN program is one year, that's five years for two degrees, assuming there's...

    oldsockventriloquist posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have noticed that some employers place a preference on candidates who went to schools with good reputations. What list are they usually using for nursing school reputation? So far, I have found two...

    Yes, I just realized that autocorrect from my computer made that mistake and I did not catch it. If you look at my previous posts, you'd see that I've used the term med-surg, so hopefully one typo...

    I actually wrote this thread based on that article you wrote. In it, you talk about discussing the reputation of a school with people involved in the hiring process. However, it can be very difficult...

    oldsockventriloquist replied to oldsockventriloquist's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That is correct. But, I wanted to see if I should really pay for expensive programs that could give me a BSN, if I would earn the same opportunities elsewhere. Is there anyway you could be more...

    oldsockventriloquist replied to oldsockventriloquist's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So if I'm applying to a competitive specialty like critical care and do not hear back from anywhere out of state, would it be worth it to apply out of state to get work experience that is relatable to...

    oldsockventriloquist replied to GW2016's topic in School, College Programs

    Are there any non-military applicants who are able to justify the cost? Also, for the military applicants, are you planning on becoming a nurse in one of the branches? Why or why

    Good idea?

    oldsockventriloquist replied to Mp31495's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I apologize for all the typos in the post above. I just realized it makes my post look horrendous, but my point still stands that you need to assess how each pathway will affect your future. Seeing...

    Should Our Study Group Allow a Failing Student to Join?

    oldsockventriloquist replied to WellThatsOod's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just to add, if asking questions is disruptive, you could have the person just listen to what each group member is saying (just state that from the

    Good idea?

    oldsockventriloquist replied to Mp31495's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't cut your nose to spite your face. I understand you see your friends graduating, but you will have to live your degree and debt (which you could be paying off for the rest of your life with...

    I am at a loss for what to do.

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

    So, first of all, take a breath. Second, if you're asking whether you are competitive for a program based on your GPA, you might be better off calling that program. For some programs, GPA might not be...

    Should Our Study Group Allow a Failing Student to Join?

    oldsockventriloquist replied to WellThatsOod's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So, if the group is doing a project that everyone collaborated on, that would be one thing. But, I don't see an issue with a person joining any study group as long as they are not disruptive. Maybe by...

    oldsockventriloquist replied to MarquieshaH's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It might be worth it to reach out to your professor and/or advisor. The first thing I would do before that is determine how you would do in the class if you did well on everything else. Once you have...

    oldsockventriloquist replied to seasons18's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It would be good to hear some of the topics on the practical and first exam. What are you also studying for the second exam (and/or next practical)? You might get better advice by being specific (i.e....

    Passing A&P II but failing microbiology please help!

    oldsockventriloquist replied to futureRN_'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So, I guess the first step would be to see how you would do in the class, if you did well on everything else. Is the class curved? If so, it would be helpful to know the average. Now for the second...

    oldsockventriloquist replied to kreyol77's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
