  1. Going Back at 40 years old...

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

    I think I have you all beat. I was 43 (now 44) male, and going back to college in a predominantly female field and feeling as uncomfortable as you can imagine on my first day of class, my lab...

  2. Nursing prerequisite grades

    Zooey72 replied to arb29171's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with 90% of this. I got 2 A's and a B+ in my science classes. However, if I was thrown a random test now from A&P1 now with no time to prepare... lets just say I would not get an A. I...

  3. RN School is Awful

    Zooey72 replied to Bigwave108's topic in General Students

    "Those who can't do, teach". Even at entry level, nurses make good money. Going through all of the schooling it takes to be a prof, and settling for less because "you love to teach" has always been...

  4. RN to BSN bridge question.

    Zooey72 posted a topic in General Students

    My plan is to become an RN, and than once I start working to have my employer (hopefully) pay for my schooling and take a class or 2 a semester until I get my BSN. My question is this: I have cleared...

  5. Has Being a Male Benefited you MORE or LESS

    Zooey72 replied to Socal_EMT's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I was outright told that I was going to get points because I am male. Since I am against ANY form of AA, I did not take that as good news. It is demeaning, and it is wrong. I just got into nursing...

  6. Getting into nursing school.

    Zooey72 posted a topic in General Students

    I need to precede what I am going to write by stating that I do not believe in affirmative action. I believe that any needless details like skin color, age, gender, sexual orientation (blah blah...

  7. Types of questions in nursing school.

    Zooey72 posted a topic in General Students

    I have heard/read that the questions asked during nursing school are based off of what is the best answer although more than one answer can be correct. I have no issue with that, you should know the...

  8. I am not a leader.

    Zooey72 replied to Chimio's topic in General Students

    You decide who you are, not some prof. What they may "see in you" is what they think you should be. Leader, follower, or something in between; the choice is yours. Personally I think you should tell...

  9. Getting into nursing school.

    Zooey72 replied to Zooey72's topic in General Students

    I don't want to be a hypocrite is why. My GPA is good and my TEAS was not horrible, but I do believe in earning things. I learned today that a girl I teamed up with to do some projects (21 year old...

  10. NCLEX pass rates

    Zooey72 replied to dinzz's topic in General Students

    I have what is probably a stupid question. When they say "Pass rate" is that on the first attempt? I start nursing school in the fall, but NCLEX is already on my mind. My school has only been doing...

  11. Travel nursing?

    Zooey72 posted a topic in General Students

    I just got accepted into my school's program and I really like the idea of being a travel nurse. If anyone has any experience with that kind of thing I would love to hear from you. There are a few...

  12. Should I make a stink about this?

    Zooey72 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am in A&P 2 and have the worst teacher I have ever had in my life, and I have had some bad ones. She not only grades hard, but she asks open ended questions on exams that can be answered in...

  13. The must have T-shirt for every male nurse!

    Zooey72 posted a topic in Male Nursing Students

    Finishing my pre-reqs, and gonna get this made into a T-shirt for my first day of class! And judging how expensive college is, I think we have all burned a small mountain of

  14. The must have T-shirt for every male nurse!

    Zooey72 replied to Zooey72's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Nice to see authoritarianism is still alive and well in people like you. I really hope I get a prof as "brutally stupid' as yourself. They won't be a prof. long after they pull the kind of idiocy you...

  15. PH and the mitocondria

    Zooey72 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have had 6 total profs. with my prereqs and none of them were able to answer a question I asked them, so I was wondering if anyone here would want to give a go at it. I won't go through the whole...

  16. Should I make a stink about this?

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

    There was roughly 4 pages of content that needed to be known on fetal circulation. The stop/start of where the baby ends and the mother begins was in none of it. And even if it were I can not fit 4...

  17. Should I make a stink about this?

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

    You have missed the point, and missed it badly. To start, and I should have probably should have stressed this. In none of the reading that was assigned, the online things she put in, nor her...

  18. Should I make a stink about this?

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

    I do not agree that something outside of the body is part of the circulatory system. You could argue the mother's entire body is part of the circulatory system and be correct. The point is, if she...

  19. Scholarships for male nursing students?

    Zooey72 replied to jglover4168's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I never played into the whole "give me stuff because I am a bisexual kenyan sasquatch that now resides in Brazil". Earn it or don't earn it, the garnish "diversity crap" is just that - crap. That...

  20. Should I drop A&P I?

    Zooey72 replied to tbird88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There is one 'trick' I have learned in studying for lab that has helped me a ton. Take pictures. Your lab prof can't get too creative with what they will have on the practical and will use the...

  21. Should I drop A&P I?

    Zooey72 replied to tbird88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This kind of thing isn't for everyone. I know quite a few people who would not have a snowball's chance in hell of doing the A&P stuff no matter how hard they tried. I am not saying the OP is...

  22. Unit projects and case studies in A&P2.

    Zooey72 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    These are really making me angry because of the way the teacher is doing them. Tell me if this is just "the way it is", or if the teacher is just horrible. My unit projects make up 10 percent of my...

  23. Should I drop A&P I?

    Zooey72 replied to tbird88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The lab's are a smaller part of the class, so the math says all is not lost. The real question is why did you score low? If the score is low because you just are not as good at that part of anatomy...

  24. BSN bridge or OT?

    Zooey72 posted a topic in General Students

    I may be jumping the gun here since I have not gotten into nursing school (should be accepted at the end of the semester. All A's in my classes and the program i want to get into only requires B's)....

  25. BSN bridge or OT?

    Zooey72 replied to Zooey72's topic in General Students

    Sorry, wasn't thinking. I mean overtime. I have heard, in general if you want it, it is there. I know every job is different, but if available which would you think is the better way to
