  1. Micro Unknown

    Erythropoiesis replied to neogirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I forgot all of the steps that I took but yes, gram stain should be the first thing that you

  2. Associate in Nursing "fall 2016"

    Erythropoiesis replied to oross's topic in General Students

    The whole process can take up to four years, just like a BSN. It's around two years of pre reqs and then two years to do the actual nursing program. You can't go from start to finish and come out a...

  3. Working Out and Working?

    Erythropoiesis replied to suzibk215's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I'm not a nurse. I'm a professional babysitter/nanny while I'm in school (start my program in Aug) and with the assignment I have right now with twin infants, my shifts only range usually no more than...

  4. Associate in Nursing "fall 2016"

    Erythropoiesis replied to oross's topic in General Students

    I didn't take the teas, I took the HESI. If it's anything like the HESI, just study a few weeks before. I made a 96% on

  6. Is learning on a cheap stethoscope better?

    Erythropoiesis posted a topic in General Students

    I purchased a Littmann Classic II se for myself once I got accepted and was given a checklist of things that we need. A nurse friend of mine, after finding out that I bought a fancier model, said that...

  7. Is learning on a cheap stethoscope better?

    Erythropoiesis replied to Erythropoiesis's topic in General Students

    Ive also seen stethoscope beaded charms. It's like a steth "necklace" that attaches onto both ear pieces. They are adorable and very unique. I've seen the clip on charms that snap right onto the...

  8. How to get family to understand

    Erythropoiesis replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in General Students

    Here's what you do: you already said they 100% support you doing school. If there is absolutely no way around you personally tending to all of those animals, then do it as quickly as you can. Tend to...

  9. stethoscope frusteration!! help!

    Erythropoiesis replied to Moenine9's topic in General Students

    I bought the classic II se. I haven't been trained to hear anything because I haven't started yet but, I will say that I used it to listen to my cats lungs. He has asthma and was having an asthma...

  10. How does working as an R.N. beforehand help in being a nurse practitioner?

    Erythropoiesis replied to sarahnp2b103's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm pretty insulted. Your question confuses me. You want to be a nurse without being a nurse? You subtly insinuate that you don't want to put in the work to be an actual MD and earn a degree as a...

  11. Is learning on a cheap stethoscope better?

    Erythropoiesis replied to Erythropoiesis's topic in General Students

    I got it engraved and just picked it up last Friday. My full name is on the bell--pretty hard to

  12. Doubts

    Erythropoiesis replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't beat yourself up before you even start your nursing program. Right now you know about as much as your grandma does about handling trauma cases, and that is okay because you haven't been trained...

  13. Knows nothing about nursing, seeking help

    Erythropoiesis replied to kingdbox96's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah, the CC route is much cheaper and all he same classes. I'd suggest you spend some time on here reading through old threads. If you want a dose of reality and a small glimpse into the actual life...

  14. Are ASNs worthless?

    Erythropoiesis replied to georgiapeach27's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did the ASN route for more personal reasons. It's not IDEAL, and yes it is smarter to go BSN off the bat if you have 4 years to do that and you have the support around you, but I need to be making...

  15. Are ASNs worthless?

    Erythropoiesis replied to georgiapeach27's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Depends where you live. I was accepted into my ASN program and made that choice to pursue it because Louisiana needs nurses way too badly to pick the ones who went to school a little longer. Every...

  16. Is learning on a cheap stethoscope better?

    Erythropoiesis replied to Erythropoiesis's topic in General Students

    My 80 year old great aunt gifted my Littmann to me (in the form of a visa gift card so I could personalize what I wanted) as a congratulations for getting in. If somebody "forgets" they have taken my...

  17. HELP!! Other Options

    Erythropoiesis replied to Jordan1927's topic in General Students

    Yes. Especially since CCs take in less people. My community college I was just accepted to only takes 60 people per year. Grades typically have to be outstanding in order to be picked. I wouldn't...

  18. HELP!! Other Options

    Erythropoiesis replied to Jordan1927's topic in General Students

    OP, if you hate science, what is your motive for wanting to be a nurse? Just curious. Nursing is a science-based doctrine. Are you just weak in those areas right now or do you truly despise it? I...

  19. Best shoes for clinicals

    Erythropoiesis posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I want everyone's take on which shoes are the best for clinical purposes. I want something that will treat my feet well, but at the same time I don't want to spend a car payment on a pair of...

  20. Lost my cool

    Erythropoiesis replied to sbtr50's topic in LPN to RN

    Some people are so dense you really have to establish clear boundaries with them. You aren't a free tutor. Tell her if she wants to be a charity case there are great programs she should reach out to....

  21. Is learning on a cheap stethoscope better?

    Erythropoiesis replied to Erythropoiesis's topic in General Students

    Yeah, that's what I'm worried about. I've even heard from somebody on here who told a doctor "No, I need it" when asked for her stethoscope. He pitched a 5-star toddler tantrum, and the NURSE ended up...

  22. Why white shoes?

    Erythropoiesis replied to oldsockventriloquist's topic in General Nursing

    The word you're looking for is sanitized. Typically it's pretty easy to hit an all-leather shoe with a Cavi wipe and (kind of) sanitize it after it trudged through God knows what. Whereas a shoe made...

  23. Best shoes for clinicals

    Erythropoiesis replied to Erythropoiesis's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I got nurse mate Dove as well. They were very comfortable to

  24. Facebook and employers/school

    Erythropoiesis replied to daisybird27's topic in General Nursing

    I'm about to turn 24 and I just got accepted too. I've been cleaning up my Facebook for a while now. You can actually go every day to the "on this day" link and view EVERYTHING you posted on Facebook...

  25. Is learning on a cheap stethoscope better?

    Erythropoiesis replied to Erythropoiesis's topic in General Students

    It is at Things Remembered right now being engraved with my full name! At least if somebody does take it, eventually I may be able to catch a stethoscope with MY name on it around somebody's neck....
