    Flu shot for nursing school

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to nb1104_'s topic in General Students

    I'm sorry, I just looked up the info and I misspoke. My school requires it, but if you haven't had it done, they'll give you

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

    Thanks! I just applied to two. One's a BSN, the other is my back up school - an ADN. There aren't many options in my area unfortunately (only two BSN programs, and the other is a private school...

    Flu shot for nursing school

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to nb1104_'s topic in General Students

    Because the school requires it. Mine won't let me in without having had it in the past calendar year. It's just not something I'd risk.

    Good Pop Up to Hold - Don't freak out :)

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Aeg1075's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congrats! I've promised myself I won't do any sort of tricks after I complete my test. This website has taught me that it adds way too much

    Summer 2017 Chat

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

    I'M DOOONNNEEEEEEE. I couldn't be happier right now. Two A's for sure and probably a B for Chem, but I'm at peace with that - it was a LOT of info in a very short period and I did the best I could....

    What science classes helped you prepare for Anatomy & Physiology?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Anaya96's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Chemistry helped me, but I could have been successful without it. It seems like A&P classes are really built up and therefore intimidating, but they really aren't as bad as they are made out to...

    How would you interpret this?

    ItsThatJenGirl posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Does this mean that if you have an 85, and fill out the survey, you'll get a 95? Or does it mean that there are x points available to earn, and this will make it x+10? Yes, I've already emailed my...

    How would you interpret this?

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

    It's done! It sucked, but I'm happy I did it. Right before finishing she emailed me back to tell me that she's adding the 10 points on the exam total - which is 60% of my grade. Thanks for all the...

    How would you interpret this?

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

    I'm going to do it, because I'd be disappointed in myself if I didn't. But man I wish I could skip

    How would you interpret this?

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

    And the reason that I'm asking is that I have a 98 in that class. There's an essay due tonight and I just don't want to do it at all. If I don't do it, my grade drops to an 88. It would be super nice...

    Nursing school Q: 1 min/1 question?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Students

    Also, it's "couldn't care less". If she can care less, then she does, indeed,

    Nursing school Q: 1 min/1 question?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Students

    My A&P classes had tests that were online, 65 questions in 60 minutes. No going back to change answers. Our practicals were 65 questions in 60 minutes and spelling counted. I don't think it's a...

    Im exploring other healthcare career options

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

    So you no longer want to be a nurse? There are lots of things you can do in the medical field without being a nurse. Radiology, sonography, some sort of therapy, pharmacy tech, etc. My suggestion...

    Afraid of the *really* gross/gorey stuff

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to mirem's topic in General Nursing

    I have issues with eyes, too. And feet. To prepare myself for nursing school and beyond, I signed up for Figure 1 - which is like Instagram for the medical field. I've learned a ton from it (they...

    Paying for second degree

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to jbrown796's topic in General Students

    Yeah, this. There's a reason I'm a 37 year old student. We planned and saved so that I'd be able to go to school without working, and graduate with very little

    A&P course

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Farrah 34's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We definitely skipped stuff - a lot of it was covered in Micro, Chem and Nutrition. My teacher highlighted exactly what she wanted us to know and said the rest we'll learn during nursing school. It's...

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

    Yeah, it's not the best part of town. It's not my usual campus, but it was the only one that offered the Chem class I needed. The cops got a call for suspicious people, they pulled up next to them and...

    ADN vs BSN

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to kerri76's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I chose BSN because it's what the market in my area is seeking. The hospitals around here prefer BSN prepared nurses, but will hire ASN nurses with the promise of getting a BSN within three years....

    calcium and phosphorus

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to mia989's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    What are you asking? An inverse relationship means that when one is up, the other is down and vice versa. Phosphorus has many roles in the body, including ATP production and cell membranes. Too much...

    Help!!!

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Melisa Galaviz's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is always a hard question to answer. Generally speaking, I think it's fine to take two science classes together - but it depends on what kind of student you are, and what your science background...
