  1. Being a pre-med is so overated

    floatingribs replied to Ambreree's topic in General Nursing

    only 40% of pre meds get to med school there really is no second chance besides reapplying and retaking it, so the fact that 60% of pre meds don't matriculate should speak enough that all of them...

  2. Being a pre-med is so overated

    floatingribs replied to Ambreree's topic in General Nursing

    is there a way to delete posts?

  3. Being a pre-med is so overated

    floatingribs replied to Ambreree's topic in General Nursing

    it doesn't make sense to compare the two since the Hesi is an exit exam and the MCAT is an entrance exam (and in no way saying the USMLE is comparable to the NLCEX lol) and I definitely do know the...

  4. Being a pre-med is so overated

    floatingribs replied to Ambreree's topic in General Nursing

    That's a very big generalization to make especially since at lots of universities the nursing schools are far more competitive than the generic BS in biology. It is lame that many pre meds use this...

  5. Being a pre-med is so overated

    floatingribs replied to Ambreree's topic in General Nursing

    I pointed this out to someone actually, like i don't understand why they assume pre meds are the smartest kids on campus with the toughest lives like it's not a competition??? our nursing school is...

  6. Difficulty of nursing school?

    floatingribs replied to eman1haddad's topic in General Students

    I'm actually doing the best in my science courses like A&P I-II and biochem but did worse in my nursing classes b/c I guess they were more writing based? So I think it's really dependent on what...

  7. Feeling a little down about taking a summer class

    floatingribs replied to Ambreree's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    summer courses don't last the entire summer either so you'll still have time to relax

  8. Ways to ensure a med-surg job after graduation

    floatingribs posted a topic in General Students

    I'm currently a freshman in a BSN program but I really want to make sure I get a job in a med-surg specialty after graduation. Most of them require at least two years of experience though and there...

  9. male nurses

    floatingribs replied to bonta's topic in Men in Nursing

    And yall not going to address the fact that when males enter nursing they just rise the ranks far quicker. The glass elevator in nursing is definitely there and this post is so sexist

  10. what is pre nursing considered?

    floatingribs posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So I've heard mixed views on this but are pre nursing students ones who are going to apply to the nursing program or is it also freshman and sophomore in a direct BSN program (I'm a freshman in a...

  11. A&P II in a 6 week summer session?

    floatingribs replied to RBFNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No problemo :) And really it depends on the professor, one of my professor based all her classes on slides so it was sufficient to study from them, but if there's one thing specific about summer...

  12. Anatomy & Physiology and Chem 1 at the same time?

    floatingribs replied to mpjvj's topic in General Students

    Do it! I'm taking A&P II with organic biochem (which is absolutely terrible when the last chem class you've taken is in hs and you're expected to have basic knowledge in organic chemistry) and...

  13. A&P II in a 6 week summer session?

    floatingribs replied to RBFNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I personally found A&P II to be more tedious than A&P I but if that's the only class your taking it shouldn't be tough to manage at all. I've taken harder classes while working part time and...

  14. when you feel creeped out

    floatingribs replied to menot's topic in General Nursing

    I only volunteer in an ER atm (I'm a nursing student) and this one guy always requests female PAs and Nurses to give him exams (they call him a frequent flyer). I had to get a signature from and one...

  15. Meaning of your username?

    floatingribs replied to Flightless Bird's topic in General Nursing

    floating ribs just seemed like a cool thing in anatomy

  16. Would you ever consider being a correctional nurse/np?

    floatingribs posted a topic in General Nursing

    So I've got to do a project on Correctional health care, but I thought it would be interesting to see how many people going into health care would consider being a prison doctor, nurse, etc. or to see...

  17. Would you ever consider being a correctional nurse/np?

    floatingribs replied to floatingribs's topic in General Nursing

    I definitely did not mean that and looking back on it it would've been better had I mixed it up (I just wanted in a logical sense order but I could've flipped it) That being said one of or professor's...

  18. What exactly do trauma nurses do?

    floatingribs posted a topic in General Nursing

    Basically I'm asking if it's in our scope of practice to assist or even learn how to fix a collapsed lung (it's been a goal of mine since i was young and not sure why). Also generally in trauma...

  19. Nursing to med school experiences?

    floatingribs posted a topic in General Students

    I'm a freshman in college with a major in nursing. I'm also taking pre med requirements so I can hopefully jump into Med school right after or perhaps with a gap year. There is this hugeeeeeee stigma...

  20. Nursing to med school experiences?

    floatingribs replied to floatingribs's topic in General Students

    Again I'm not sure what my end goal is. I applied to nursing schools after volunteering in the ER. it didn't even cross my mind to apply to a direct MD or DO program (which looking at my scores now I...

  21. Nursing to med school experiences?

    floatingribs replied to floatingribs's topic in General Students

    it's okay :) but honestly I would loveeee to work in the ER. I currently volunteer (have been for 3 years now) and sometimes it's chill and other times it's super hectic and I love it. Also I'm not...

  22. Nursing to med school experiences?

    floatingribs replied to floatingribs's topic in General Students

    Actually I've dropped pre med (said it a couple of posts ago :) b/c even if I took just summer classes I would be able to get any physics classes in before the cut off for the application date. And...

  23. Nursing to med school experiences?

    floatingribs replied to floatingribs's topic in General Students

    oh okay now I understand. my nursing advisers knew nothing about the pre med classes and the pre-health office knew nothing about the nursing program and my dean wouldn't allow a course overload with...

  24. Nursing to med school experiences?

    floatingribs replied to floatingribs's topic in General Students

    so did you take like gen biop I & II, gen chem I& II, orgo I & II, phsyics, etc like the required pre med classes for the general med schools, or are you trying to get in a program that's...

  25. Nursing to med school experiences?

    floatingribs replied to floatingribs's topic in General Students

    Okay but you sound like superwoman, and my question is how? Like how in one semester too? Like pre med is around 42 credits w/out courses like genetics and zoology so that's not doable in one...
