  3. medical terminology?

    LanaBanana replied to tutusandfrogs's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I recommend taking med term if you can. I feel like a have a leg-up on some nursing students because I have more comprehension in my medical reading because of the class. A lot of schools offer the...

  7. LPN to RN bridge or straight to BSN?

    LanaBanana replied to Sahara311's topic in LPN to RN

    the one I'm looking at (University of Oklahoma) has an LPN-BSN bridge that takes 2-3 semesters or you can go the community college ASN route for 2 semesters. Kind of a no-brainer if you ask me! That...

  11. Is 'E.R' the tv show accurate?

    LanaBanana replied to AussieJack's topic in Emergency

    I'm not even through nursing school yet but I drive me roommate crazy when we watch those shows. "They can't do that..." Or she'll ask me what they just said when they rattle off medical-speak and...

    LanaBanana replied to Princess74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My sister bought me a mat, block and practice video for Christmas. My roommate and I tried it last week and it was kind of fun, hopefully it's better in person though. The block is to modify a...

  17. Yoga

    LanaBanana replied to Princess74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    LanaBanana replied to AngelOvaMe's topic in School

    LanaBanana replied to newflgrad's topic in General Nursing

  25. Do Doctors Really Care?

    LanaBanana replied to Chicklet2's topic in General Nursing
