    Study groups in nursing school

    ThatChickOmi replied to sol_shine's topic in General Students

    Believe it or not, I found my study group (4 of us) helped, and this is coming from a very solitary person. I also do a lot of studying alone, but hearing different takes on topics made a big...

    Taking manual bp on forearm

    ThatChickOmi replied to Jen Cole's topic in General Students

    Shouldn't be ridiculing the OP if you can't spell "you're" correctly. ? And besides, I have seen staff take BPs on the forearm (in a pinch) myself through school. Some people are really big and even a...

    Microbiology this summer. Am I crazy?

    ThatChickOmi replied to NeedASugarDaddyOrSomething's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Microbiology is intense. I myself took it back in Summer 2016 as a hybrid course. 5 weeks. We started with like 25 students I think by the end there were less than half of us left. Our professor in...

    Need advice

    ThatChickOmi replied to Futnur's topic in General Students

    While I can kind of see why you'd be like "Uh, what" about those students....it's kinda water under the bridge. Sometimes in life you need to pick and choose your battles. As the previous poster...

    RN-BSN Not Requiring Statistics

    ThatChickOmi replied to ThatChickOmi's topic in General Students

    Yeah I'm debating whether I should take it at the same community college over the summer (online) or just wait until I find a program and see if it's included. I was misunderstood, for some reason I...

    What should I take over summer?

    ThatChickOmi replied to FutureNurseWard's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've taken Microbiology over the summer. That was the hardest I've ever worked for, for a C+ lmao. It is SO much info in 5 weeks. It was intense. I've taken A&P and Chemistry concurrently, it's...

    ThatChickOmi replied to Trinity33's topic in General Students

    My first semester instructor was awesome. She was an adjunct, so she wasn't an instructor that worked at the school. She encouraged us to ask questions. The nurses on the floor were all mostly nice...

    ThatChickOmi replied to scrub_bug's topic in Online Distance Learning

    You need to be an RN first before enrolling, right? I've been reading good things but I still need to graduate ADN program (in a few weeks) and take NCLEX if that's the

    Nursing student and overhead costs

    ThatChickOmi replied to pi.student's topic in General Students

    I think working would only work during nursing school if your jobs are non-traditional hours (not the "9-5" hours). I have a few classmates that either worked only 1-2 overnights as techs/CNAs at the...

    Are my chances of getting into nursing school gone?

    ThatChickOmi replied to FutureCRNA1999's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I, similarly to Nomadic, am in my 30s and straight out of high school I took a few classes...did pretty poorly because I honestly didn't care back then. Young and dumb. Then I just stopped college...

    Help with school assignments & disability

    I'm not a nurse quite yet, a soon to be graduate, but I enjoy pushing meds. Not entirely sure why, but I like doing IVP. I also like bathing patients, especially when they resist a bath at first but...
