  4. Dual BSN

    LJR89 replied to Satori77's topic in General Students

    My program has you complete the ADN before moving on to the BSN courses (though people can take their electives earlier if they wish). So basically the dual enrollment just makes the transition...

    LJR89 replied to Earlybird1's topic in General Nursing

    I couldn't find public info on retention rates for their nursing school. However they did award 25 degrees and 25 sat for the NCLEX. Additionally I looked up their accreditation on the MN BON site...

  6. National American University

    LJR89 replied to Earlybird1's topic in General Nursing

    I've never even heard of it. But I just looked up their NCLEX pass rates and they are the worst in the state. Like, pretty bad actually, only 52 percent passed the NCLEX on the first try in 2015 (87%...

    LJR89 replied to FutureNurseBri's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    one of my nursing classmates uses a music stand for reading, since she also has some neck/back issues. And a few others do the whole walking on a treadmill while reading, I don't think that would...

    LJR89 replied to TacoBelle's topic in General Nursing

    You are supposed to have a a Mantoux test read 48-72 hours after the injection. So if you had that done Thursday morning, it needs to be looked at by Sunday morning. And you would have your results in...

    LJR89 replied to chakad's topic in General Students

    I second the printer! I printed all my assignments and power points on the school printers because it was significantly cheaper. But when things/schedules/clinicals got hectic it was a life saver to...

    LJR89 replied to Moenine9's topic in General Students

    I have both. They work pretty much the same to my novice ears. I just like that the classic iii can be changed to a pediatric steth, but I haven't had a reason to use that option in school so far. And...

  12. Spring 2017 MANE programs

    LJR89 replied to nouviss's topic in General Nursing

    Oh absolutely! 11.8 is a fantastic score!!! But Normandale has very small cohorts (around 40), so the composite scores tend to run a little higher for those accepted from what I've heard the last few...

    LJR89 replied to nouviss's topic in General Nursing

    LJR89 replied to nevergiveup2016's topic in Study Tips for Students's Share Tips

    By how you describe, it seems like she's doing fine. If she likes the way you two are studying, and tells you it helps, then I don't think you should spend too much more of your energy trying to fix...

  16. Saint Paul College or Hennepin Tech, question

    LJR89 replied to AmeliaBe's topic in General Nursing

    Looks like there's a required information session to attend, bet you'd get some answers there and you'll have to do it anyway. Also looks like there is one coming up soon. Check it

  17. Pre Nursing Books

    LJR89 replied to CTH1983's topic in General Students

  19. 94 or higher is an A?

    LJR89 replied to Oceanblu's topic in General Students

  20. Anyone make it into nursing school with a C in Anatomy?

    LJR89 replied to cjens27's topic in General Students

    I did. That doesn't mean it will work for most programs or any in your area, but I did get in with a C and a killer TEAS score. So it can happen. But anatomy is nothing compared to NS. Imagine all...

  22. Pharmacology flash cards

    LJR89 replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    A lot of the people in my cohort have been using the Mosby's pharm cards to supplement. We also have to add things to them and they don't cover everything. But the weird cartoons actually help me...

  23. Nursing School Blues

    LJR89 posted a topic in General Students

    I have a case of the "poor me's". The new semester has re-opened the wounds of abandonment my friends and family have felt since I started nursing school. And with the month long break my school ties...
