  1. Human Growth and Development Course

    Catsmeow replied to kayel's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi Lacy :) I've found it to be a fairly easy course from the point of view of a Mommy, because I was pretty familiar with development of babies and children from reading books on pregnancy and...

  2. Web Only courses

    Catsmeow posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, I'm leery of these things. I have three telecourses this semester where I take the tests on campus and it seems I absolutely must learn the material before taking the test. With these web...

  3. Web Only courses

    Catsmeow replied to Catsmeow's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ~noddin~ I guess my concern is, and perhaps I won't know this unless I ask the instructor though I'm a little reluctant to, is do they gear the tests harder based on the fact they figure people will...

  4. Anyone had to retake classes for higher grde?

    Catsmeow replied to FNPhopeful's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Much as I hate to, I think I may take Interpersonal Speech, cause my generic speech course I took years ago isn't the "perferred" one though they will accept my transfer course. Just feel like...

  5. question about gpa and getting in.

    Catsmeow replied to futurenurse85's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just drop an email to the nursing advisor, I've done that for all the colleges I'm interested in and they write back with all the info I've asked. For my area (which is about 3 hours east of Dallas)...

  6. Any of you have a bad past?

    Catsmeow replied to nikkif's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah, most colleges I've ever been to insist on you transferring all previous course work and if you don't, they say you are jeapordizing your admission and falsifying your past record. I'm not sure...

  7. Why do Nurses need to study History

    Catsmeow replied to Tweety's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    A couple of things I've picked up from my psychology class this semester... Learning different subjects that you aren't quite as spiffy in, or weren't terribly familiar with, changes the pathways...

  8. Any of you have a bad past?

    Catsmeow replied to nikkif's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I thought if you did this you'd get in trouble for not disclosing all your previous work? Is it

  9. Human Growth and Development Course

    Catsmeow replied to kayel's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    LOL! This is me, during the test, exactly!

  10. Human Growth and Development Course

    Catsmeow replied to kayel's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    LOL! It drives me batty when my (beloved) Religions teacher turns the class out early as he's in the habit of doing. Now I really really like this guy, he's terrific, but when I drive 20 minutes to...

  11. "Your servers today will be..." Opinions please!

    Catsmeow replied to Nascar nurse's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    ROFL @ the baby with the cute smilies. That's

  12. Human Growth and Development Course

    Catsmeow replied to kayel's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hiyah :) I just finished adolescence, but I have to get through the entire book before I'm done, so I'm stressing! (Taking it telecourse) LOL I gotta go

  13. Plan B

    Catsmeow replied to NICU_nurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm working on my BSN in the meantime. Since I'm going full time, and because there are four science courses (Chem or Bio, A&P1, A&P2, and Micro) by the time I've finished all the pre-reqs...

  14. "Your servers today will be..." Opinions please!

    Catsmeow replied to Nascar nurse's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Coming at it from the other way around, viewing it through a patient's eyes, I always abhorred when they would refer to patients as customers, and I think I'd be equally in shock to be told I was...

  15. What is a safe # of points to be accepted into the RN program!!

    Catsmeow replied to Ceejaa's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow, thanks for the link to the quizzes

  16. Migrazone and nursing

    Catsmeow posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi :) I've read some posts about pain meds being a problem both in nursing and nursing school (in terms of not wanting nurses/students to be on these medications while doing patient care). The most...

  17. Decision about College Algebra!!!

    Catsmeow replied to NewYork_Heart's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd finish it out and retake it if necessary, but also do what you can to salvage the rest of the semester. Algebra is mostly about remembering all the rules, like a foriegn language kinda. Try...

  18. Migrazone and nursing

    Catsmeow replied to Catsmeow's topic in General Nursing

    Hi :) Thanks so much for the responses. The Midrin does work for me right now, but I've only tried it for a few months. It also works on the tension headaches behind my eye that don't quite...

  19. Calling family for TX!!!

    Catsmeow replied to Antikigirl's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Just to clarify, does management want you to call all the families of all your patients, or just the family that complained? How time consuming! In the ER I worked in, the nurses had a sheet where...

  20. End Of Shift Report - The Sapnish Inquisition

    Catsmeow replied to estrogen's topic in General Nursing

    Acccctually... if you did print ya off a little sheet at home with pretty boxes for those extra-info-type-things she wanted to know, then gave her your notes (like the one you had, just on your little...

  21. Gastric Bypass.... yes or no???

    Catsmeow replied to alichael's topic in Gastroenterology

    I overeat when I'm bored and cause I just love the tastes of certain foods...(potato chips) so something that has helped me lose weight (50 lbs) is realizing that after eating a certain amt of one...

  22. Was anyone a not so great High School student and become a GREAT college student?

    Catsmeow replied to emndarmic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    hehe, I was a horrible student in High School (graduated '90), but it doesn't affect anything anywhere, thank the Lord. I can't even recall my GPA, I may not have ever bothered to even LOOK! As, Bs,...

  23. Religion Needed to be a Good Nurse?

    Catsmeow replied to Kabin's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I think the problem is you're seeing spirituality and religion as being the same. Religion is more based on particular rules that many collectively try to follow. (Someone else had already pointed...

  24. Religion Needed to be a Good Nurse?

    Catsmeow replied to Kabin's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    You already have spirituality given what you typed above. Do you truly believe the instructor was attempting to tell you to practice a religion to be a good nurse? Sounds to me as if you are...

  25. Can't believe this evaluation

    Catsmeow replied to Karine2's topic in General Nursing

    !!! That's awful that she got you mixed up. What was the deal with
