  1. UVA direct entry CNL

    katmarieRN replied to MadisonLyn's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Madison, I'm currently in the UVA CNL program now and expect to graduate in August. I think its great that you decided to retake your A&P. My undergraduate scores were not great, but later I...

  2. Will my nursing school be stressful? *Schedule for semesters included*

    katmarieRN replied to johnemmons's topic in General Nursing

    Definitely doable. You seem to be handling a good course load as it is, and the fact that you have completed many of the General Ed requirements is a plus. I don't think you need to quit your part...

  3. Second guessing myself after watching foley catheter insertion video

    katmarieRN replied to Elizabeth K.'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What video were you looking at? I saw a few on youtube, but mostly the demonstrations were on manniquins. Anyway, I have had foleys inserted and have inserted foleys. As long as the patient...

  4. Pregnant in Nursing School ....

    katmarieRN replied to sweettater0303's topic in General Students

    I think if you are proactive and demonstate determination: study hard, do well on tests, practice skills, etc., your professors will recognize you as a strong student and will work with you as needed....

  5. CNL - is there a place for them

    katmarieRN replied to 2ndLife's topic in General Students

    2ndLife, I'm currently in a CNL program. I was accepted into a few accelerated BSN programs but this was my reasoning. 2 years regardless, BSN vs MSN. Yeah, I wanted the higher degree. Most CNL...

  6. Pregnant in Nursing School ....

    katmarieRN replied to sweettater0303's topic in General Students

    I was pregnant my first semester of nursing school. I actually delivered a baby boy during my winter break. So long as you have a healthy pregnancy and take care of yourself, you should be fine. I...

  8. Used Tabers (20th edition) vs. New Tabers (21st edition)

    katmarieRN replied to jenniedennise's topic in General Students

    katmarieRN replied to zerocoolz's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I had heard this also, about NPs being educated at the doctoral level in the future. I suspect the existing NPs are

  10. Need encouragement, advice and guidance...please

    katmarieRN replied to Blessed2beStressed's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Many community colleges will let you take classes w/o turning in your high school transcript. I took A&P, chem, microbio without producing a single transcript. All of these transferred to a...

  11. I think my professor is making up stuff.......not sure what to do.

    katmarieRN posted a topic in General Students

    So, I think one of my professors is making up statements. One in particular: 90% of allergies are caused by drinking milk-based formulas to babies. OK, so I asked her about that statistic and...

  12. I think my professor is making up stuff.......not sure what to do.

    katmarieRN replied to katmarieRN's topic in General Students

    Oh, I totally agree when they indicate real world vs nclex world. I appreciate those kind of statements. FYI, my professor's latest statement: "Poor women don't usually drink because they can't...

  13. I think my professor is making up stuff.......not sure what to do.

    katmarieRN replied to katmarieRN's topic in General Students

    That's a good point. I hadn't thought of

  14. I think my professor is making up stuff.......not sure what to do.

    katmarieRN replied to katmarieRN's topic in General Students

    She won't let us record her lectures.... I can only guess why. For the inquiring mind above, I actually did breastfeed my daughter. As much as it actually pains me to let this go, reading the...

  15. I think my professor is making up stuff.......not sure what to do.

    katmarieRN replied to katmarieRN's topic in General Students

    I'm not going to get into a debate about whether or not formula feeding CAUSES allergies. I'm looking for her 90% causal relationship statistic. If you find it, please share -- I didn't have much...

  16. I think my professor is making up stuff.......not sure what to do.

    katmarieRN replied to katmarieRN's topic in General Students

    Oh there are a few other documented inaccuracies. Furthermore, she's not gaining much respect amongst some of my classmates, as she's very opinionated, particularly when it comes to breastfeeding,...

  17. online labs?

    katmarieRN replied to cookderosa's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  20. Anybody CNL-UVA?

    katmarieRN replied to Minty80's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Cheer, had you heard back from UVA yet? Some people in my class didn't hear until May about their acceptance. Good

  21. I gave too much morphine... please read and advise

    katmarieRN replied to man23SN's topic in General Students

    Frankly, you'd be a better nurse filling the medication error report than not. Falsifying a report/chart or not accurately reporting would be more likely to get you kicked out PLUS the nurse could...

  22. Anybody CNL-UVA?

    katmarieRN replied to Minty80's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Hey Tim, We had a little boy. I'm going forward with school. The professors have been supportive. Of course I worked my tail off so they knew I was serious about the program. I finished the semester...

    katmarieRN replied to Minty80's topic in Virginia Nursing

  25. student loan nightmare!!!

    katmarieRN replied to May2009's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'd be wary of this one.....2 days/month + 2 weeks/year could = 1 yr in Iraq or
