    Lifespan Psych - an observation

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

    Put another way, the course you took is meant for anyone who needs a basic but rounded education. A college degree is supposed to mean the person who earned it is reasonably well-rounded and that's...

    Lifespan Psych - an observation

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

    I think the problem is you seem to think that Lifespan Psych is meant for nurses or nursing students. It isn't. It's a very general introduction to understanding psych issues at different stages of...

    Is university a lot harder than community college?

    Extra Pickles replied to RN to be soon's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you are doing well at CC because you have good study habits then you are likely to continue that in university. I think it's reasonable to say that most people who had straight As in prerequisites...

    Lifespan Psych - an observation

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

    The course you're talking about is a very basic general ed type of course. You will get further in depth in psych, clinical psych and its components in nursing school. You aren't there yet....

    Is university a lot harder than community college?

    Extra Pickles replied to RN to be soon's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Maybe, too, your friend took his prerequisite classes at CC like you are doing and when he got to the nursing program at the university it was much harder. That has nothing to do with university being...

    Is university a lot harder than community college?

    Extra Pickles replied to RN to be soon's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You talk as though you already believe your friend is right so what does it matter what anyone else tells you? Maybe your friend had more difficult classes at his university than he did at CC but what...

    Nurse Aide retention/recruitment

    Extra Pickles replied to punkdmm's topic in General Nursing

    it's a circular problem because you need enough staff so you don't mandate to death the ones you have and you burn out staff with mandation before you get enough staff to keep mandation at bay. I'd...

    94 or higher is an A?

    Extra Pickles replied to Oceanblu's topic in General Students

    this thread reminds me of another one running in which a student is wondering whose fault it is if 25% of them failed the HESI. She believes it is the school's fault in not preparing them well enough...

    Who's at fault here?

    Extra Pickles replied to PerkyNurse55's topic in General Students

    How do you correlate the part I bolded with your initial statement that 75% of the class passed this exam? If the school is failing at teaching you, how do you suppose it is that 3 out of every 4...

    Assignment

    Extra Pickles replied to tolojede1's topic in General Students

    this makes no sense. can you literally type out exactly the words and phrases used, exactly as they are on the paper you received that stated the assignment? Just asking you to write a list of...

    professional integrity in nursing

    Extra Pickles replied to nanyy's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    What help do you need? Did you check out your textbooks or online resources? I don't know about how fast any of that is but your professor should have given you enough time to do the assignment,...

    Nclex

    Extra Pickles replied to chiggybaby45's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It doesn't. people still do it though and most of the time it doesn't let them register if they passed but sometimes it does and if you did pass you are out a lot of money. good luck

    Pre-health needed if taking a year off?

    Extra Pickles replied to MarieTee's topic in General Nursing

    re-reading this and it looks like marie is in Canada so maybe it's a term used there? I have heard of pre-health classes done in the US but they were for LPN programs and I don't know how common it...

    What words are used in Nclex

    Extra Pickles replied to troublesome's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I don't think I understand the question, any word in the English language can be used. If your friend has trouble with English that would be a problem he has to overcome before he can pass the test...

    How is nursing school?

    Extra Pickles replied to RN to be soon's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There are people who think nursing school was no big deal and others who sweated through every course. no way to know what you'll think of it. if you're getting Bs in prereqs though you might want to...

    Pre-health needed if taking a year off?

    Extra Pickles replied to MarieTee's topic in General Nursing

    Every program has its own requirements. Did you call the school and ask them? They will know the answers we can only guess at. Better to get the correct info from the source than go by something...
