  1. Power points in nursing school? And number?

    LOL Haven't taken the HESI yet, in January I will, but if I get accepted, I'll immediately buy a printer for my house. My schools, the one I'm doing pre-reqs at and the other Im going to for the...
  2. Power points in nursing school? And number?

    How big were your power points? Like several pages? Like 100 per chapter? Usually I print in color double sided to save paper and to use any space not
  3. Power points in nursing school? And number?

    I like that idea of being environmentally friendly. Although, I cant study off a laptop because I can't hold it like a piece of paper, so I might just go with an
  4. Typical cellular data use in NS

    I already know to wait for the program's determining factor of whether I get in or not so I know I'm not going to blow it all away the first second I see positivity from my test scores. The stuff I...
  5. Typical cellular data use in NS

    I have to say no, I'd like to say no, but things could change. Who knows. I'm so used to a goofy family, especially since they weren't really supportive of providing me a place to stay while I...
  6. Nurses who are on anxiety/depression meds?

    I wrote a post on here about hobbies and what people like to do instead of letting their work twist their
  7. Typical cellular data use in NS

    Yeah, I don't intend on using convenient social media pleasures while in nursing school except for googling stuff like EKG signs, acid/base electrolytes, etc. Once I'm in, family is blocked out,...
  8. Typical cellular data use in NS

    Yeah, our facility had company owned Ipod Touch they used. I personally own an Ipod Touch and you can't play games on it because it just crashes. But yeah, the facility had their
  9. Typical cellular data use in NS

    Regarding your last paragraph. It would be nice if technology could remotely wipe JUST THE INFORMATION OF THE PATIENT, or THE APP, not the whole device itself. I mean I can understand where they're...
  10. Typical cellular data use in NS

    Ok, cause when I did clinical at a facility for my CNA license, they used Ipod Touch's for charting. What if we have Iphone? Can that be used for that stuff you mentioned? Or is it something that had...
  11. Abandonment Question

    Damn, that sucks. Well, if they're abandoning then that's what they're
  12. Expensive stethoscope for student?

    I agree! If you get the permanent name tag thing that goes around the stethoscope body or bell engraving, you can be sure it'll never get stolen or lost. Always get a stethoscope with your name on it...
  13. Is being a CNA a really hard job?

    I also think being a CNA makes you a better quality RN once, and if, you become one. CNAs are a sonar to an RN who is the submarine...if that makes sense. Some RNs don't give a rats ass about their...
  14. Expensive stethoscope for student?

    God damn! I was thinking of buying the master but then I thought...meeehhhhhhh I don't want to look like a show off so I wanted the Caridology IV which blends in with the rest of the stethoscopes most...
  15. Medical Terminology is too overwhelming?

    I'm not in nursing school yet but I've taken a course just like the one you took. My med term class was also 1 credit. HIT-117B. I believe there's an old saying in college: "The lower the class...
  16. BSN program: Accelerated vs. Full-time

    Hello all, I'm stuck between two schools. One is strictly accelerated and the other has part-time, full-time, and accelerated. I thought accelerated was full time but I guess maybe there's a...
  17. BSN program: Accelerated vs. Full-time

    In the words of Beldar Conehead "This pleases me". I don't have any interest in having time for friends or family. I don't even want my family to see me graduate. That's how badly I want to be an...
  18. Is being a CNA a really hard job?

    If you're injured on any job, you're required to take a drug test and compensation (comp is lower than your wage usually). That's why there is equipment. If it was me in a situation where the...
  19. Is being a CNA a really hard job?

    If a patient is overweight beyond your ability to move them and they can't move themselves, you ask for someone. If they tell you to move the patient anyway and that "help" just walks off, quit the...
  20. Is being a CNA a really hard job?

    Compared to nursing(RN/LPN) NO it is not. TRUST ME. I've taken classes that aren't required for CNA that nurses have to take as well as doctors eventually and let me say your workload compared to...
  21. BSN program: Accelerated vs. Full-time

    I'm not worried about a summer vacation, but I also don't want to rush my education and the class workload I have is more than the free time I have to study and I'm so stressed I'm not learning...
  22. BSN program: Accelerated vs. Full-time

    So should I go to UNLV or would it not matter, accelerated is accelerated? NSC states their part time program is for those who have family obligations and cannot do their regular track, so I guess the...

    I'm more worried about asking her for help on material I don't understand. I did once back when the class first started and she kind of had this "just read the material or google what you don't...
