1. CNA Scope of Practice - colostomy bag WA

   RaggedyAm posted a topic in CNA/MA

   Hello, I am trying really hard to find whether it is legal or not for a CNA (NAC) to change an ostomy bag in Washington State. I have looked at the DOH site, but I can't seem to figure it out/find it.

2. Is anyone doing Intro to Inorganic Chem or General Cell Bio Fall?

   RaggedyAm replied to RaggedyAm's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Taking it slow is probably a good choice! My GPA suffered a little from a B in chem and an A- in Psych 100, so I'm hoping I get lots more A's to balance everything out, haha. That's interesting that chem is a prereq for A&P, our only A&P prer...

3. Is anyone doing Intro to Inorganic Chem or General Cell Bio Fall?

   RaggedyAm replied to RaggedyAm's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hi! I ended up deciding against Chem because I wanted to focus on bio. So this quarter I'm doing General Cell bio, Communications 101, and Library Science (lol it's 2 credits, I just needed to be full time) Then next quarter I'm thinking A&P I a...

4. Tacoma Community College Nursing

   RaggedyAm replied to RaggedyAm's topic in Washington

   Thank you so much for the detailed reply, I really appreciate it. How far into the program did you start clinicals? Was it the first quarter? Are you worried at all about them potentially losing their accreditation if they don't raise their scores? T...

5. OBGYN field

   RaggedyAm replied to Maree87's topic in Ob/Gyn

   CNA is a good idea. Have you considered maybe taking a Doula class if you want to want to be involved in L&D, just to make sure that's interesting to you :)

6. Is anyone doing Intro to Inorganic Chem or General Cell Bio Fall?

   RaggedyAm posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   I thought it might be neat to have a long distance study buddy. I'm doing both in Fall and I'm a little bit nervous. I took intro to chemistry in Spring and my class was really disorganized (our teacher left a few weeks in) so if anyone else is doing...

   Congrats!!!

8. Tacoma Community College Nursing

   RaggedyAm replied to RaggedyAm's topic in Washington

   That's exactly what I ended up doing with financial aid. Thankfully everything is being paid for! I'm now on quarter two of my prerequisites with only a couple more to go. (Should be done next spring, which is not ideal, but it's 1 year so whatever) ...

9. I think I'm going to end up with a B in chem, how to get over the guilt?

   RaggedyAm replied to RaggedyAm's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Thank you :) I do have a lot of prereqs left so hopefully I can score high in those. I'm just so surprised at this B and for some reason I feel super guilty about it, which is a weird feeling. That's a good point. Sometimes I forget that this stuff...

10. I think I'm going to end up with a B in chem, how to get over the guilt?

    RaggedyAm replied to RaggedyAm's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Thanks for your reply! That makes me feel better, every nursing student I have spoken to is like "If you can't get a 4.0 in all your prereqs, you wont be able to handle nursing school" so it's honestly refreshing to get your reply. I think it does ha...

11. I think I'm going to end up with a B in chem, how to get over the guilt?

    RaggedyAm replied to RaggedyAm's topic in Pre-Nursing

    That's really sweet, thank you. I hadn't heard "B's get degrees" haha, that is cute. It's nice to hear that B students exist in nursing school, I'm just so worried because chemistry seems so important, yknow? But nursing school is just a huge unknown...

12. I think I'm going to end up with a B in chem, how to get over the guilt?

    RaggedyAm replied to RaggedyAm's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I was mostly asking if a B is going to screw me over. I was *mostly* asking if that B in the GPA is going to be so terrifying to a nursing school that they're like "uh, no get out of here" I see SO many people on this site that are like "Omg I got a...

13. I think I'm going to end up with a B in chem, how to get over the guilt?

    RaggedyAm posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    This is mostly just a rant, when I talk to my family about it they make me feel worse lol so I'm just venting here. So it's only my first quarter back to school since I dropped out at 16, I'm 23 now. I had a 94% in Chem and then I had a couple of ba...

14. Lifespan Psych - an observation

    RaggedyAm replied to Zooey72's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I'm in a psych 100 class right now, which is intro to psych...praying that 200 is a little bit more interesting. It's all just memorization with literally zero emphasis on learning or understanding. There's lots of bio involved which is neat, but a ...

15. Would a 75% NCLEX pass rate scare you away from a school?

    RaggedyAm replied to RaggedyAm's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Their minimum TEAS score is very low, but they just raised it and changed the curriculum a lot, so I dunno. I've heard a lot, and when I asked the head of the nursing department about it she said that it was absolutely because of the low TEAS score (...
