   Fugitive replied to nicolej1024's topic in General Students

   Yeah, that's how I feel. I'm still not 100% sure that this is what I want to do, but I'm graduating this December, so oh well!I'm in an accelerated BSN program. I think it was too hyped up about not working and losing your social life during the prog...

3. Microbiology - Fall 2005

   Fugitive replied to maliat's topic in Pre-Nursing

   We just finished our unknowns this past Friday. It's funny. From looking at the streak plate, then confirming with a gram stain, I knew that my unknown bacteria was Escherichia coli. After doing the other tests it turned out I was right. Well... actu...

4. Anyone have an A in Chem...?

   Fugitive replied to FNPhopeful's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I got an A in both my chemistry classes and it really wasn't too hard. Though I have to say that these weren't the typical chem classes. They were for nursing. CHM 1020 was general inorganic chemistry and CHM 1030 was organic and biochemistry. Anyway...

6. Plan B

   Fugitive replied to NICU_nurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Like many said, if I don't get in, then I'll just work wherever, probably take some more classes or repeat ones to get a better grade, and I'll keep applying to schools. At this point of my life there is no way I am gonna change my career plans/ goal...

7. Microbiology - Fall 2005

   Fugitive replied to maliat's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Has anyone done a slide-mold culture yet? I cultured Rhizopus stolonifer, but forgot to draw a picture of it. Here is a great website that has pictures of several molds/fungus. http://www.dehs.umn.edu/iaq/fungus/pictures.html Good luck in lab and cla...

8. Microbiology - Fall 2005

   Fugitive replied to maliat's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I think you have to redo the lab experiment. Acid-fast staining is used for detecting the presense of all Mycobacterium. Here's a quote from my lab book: "The acid-fast stain is an important differential stain for identifying bacteria in the genus My...

10. BS to BSN accelerated program that starts in the Summer Semester

    Fugitive replied to DrugReptoNurse's topic in Pre-Nursing

    There are several universities that allow you to finish your prerequisites BY May 2006 and then start the program IN May 2006. Sure that leaves you a week to get settled into the fact that you're starting an accelerated program. I'm writing this spur...

11. Who all is applying this semester for Fall 2006?

    Fugitive replied to marilynmom's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I guess I should clarify my position. I've already graduated and have my BA. The schools I'm applying for have accerelated nursing programs. I foolishly made the assupstion that people were in the same position that I'm in or similar because from wha...

12. Who all is applying this semester for Fall 2006?

    Fugitive replied to marilynmom's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I plan on applying to Spring 2006 and Fall 2006 start dates. May applications are due anywhere from November through March. Most or all of my prereqs will be done this semester. I might have to take an ethics class, a math class, or some nursing clas...

13. A good school near Ann Arbor Michigan

    Fugitive replied to micster's topic in Pre-Nursing

    MSU definitely has a BSN program, but that seems irrelevent because it seems like you want to stay close to home. As others have said, UM and WCC have degree programs for becoming an RN. Also it your area is EMU. They have a BSN program as well. Not ...

14. Microbiology Lab Question

    Fugitive replied to Fugitive's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Thanks for the links! I had seen those previously when trying to find the answers doing a web search. I had to resort to asking my lab TA what the answer was. Now she knows I didn't create a S. epiderimis slide for the capsule stain and I have to wri...

15. Microbiology Lab Question

    Fugitive posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    Has anyone done the capsule stain of bacteria? In my lab we did the capsule stain and I was only able to create a capsule stain slide for Klebsiellla pneumoniae. I did not have time to create a slide for Staphylococcus epidermidis. Does anyone know i...
