    Starting in the fall

    Wiggly Litchi replied to Guest 1064378's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh that's rad, I'm glad you are choosing to take your sciences first! Micro wasn't bad - depends on the professor really I think. I had a lot of critical thinking type questions from my professor...

    Got accepted but..

    Wiggly Litchi replied to ladder22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You honestly need to sit down with an adviser at your college of choice and explain this to them. We can't answer these questions as there's a chance that any information we give to you will be...

    Starting in the fall

    Wiggly Litchi replied to Guest 1064378's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not sure why it would be a bad move? Getting things done is always great, especially if you're maintaining decent grades. Usually classes like A&P, Micro etc are pre-requisites; you generally...

    Taking A &P I and II and microbiology

    Wiggly Litchi replied to jessica6012's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't retake your A&P classes - focus on micro. As someone who tutors the pre-nursing classes, at this point you really just want to focus on two things: Remembering what you have learned so far,...

    Bullying in nursing school

    Wiggly Litchi replied to Dee112's topic in General Students

    If you're worried about bullying, try talking with them about it. You can ask them questions such as "Back in class, you said that I was the only one struggling with this; do you have any tips that...

    Wiggly Litchi replied to Wiggly Litchi's topic in General Students

    Hey Jen!! Thank you for your input too! I will check out RN Mentor - I've never heard of that one before~ I am going to look into it! I do wish Uworld wasn't so spendy - for $300, one would hope that...

    NCLEX-RN Mastery Vs. UWorld for supplemental material

    Wiggly Litchi replied to Wiggly Litchi's topic in General Students

    Thank you for your response! I'm definitely leaning toward buying the Uworld sub as I've heard nothing but great things - I feel like it's going to be a worthy investment. I've heard some pros/cons...

    Should i Summer study for Fall Rn program?

    Wiggly Litchi replied to promomma's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Honestly? None of the above. I've never been a fan of the subscription services because the same info can be found in many other places for free. If you want materials to go over, you can always try...

    I need some help..

    Wiggly Litchi replied to jeffroudbai's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The best thing you can do is talk to advisers at the school(s) you want to attend. Nursing schools can be extremely competitive, so one of your first concerns will be raising your GPA. Some schools...

    "Ew, I don't want to wipe butts all day"

    Wiggly Litchi replied to Arya526's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Maybe you're super unlucky at your current place? I've only ever really had 2 nurses in my entire career that wouldn't do basic tasks and would go out of their way to make sure they never had to do...

    "Ew, I don't want to wipe butts all day"

    Wiggly Litchi replied to Arya526's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Thank you. As a CNA, I know that sometimes it's just not possible for a nurse to take care of ADLs. I give people the benefit of the doubt as I never know how their day is going - most won't say "Oh...

    Favorite scrubs??

    Wiggly Litchi replied to Alexx_xox's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Dickies Gen-Flex all the way! I just got my fiance hooked on them too - both the male and female ones are super comfy, hard-wearing, fade resistant, and have more pockets than you can shake a stick...

    A&P 1 and 2 in 8 Weeks??

    Wiggly Litchi replied to angel0309's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As someone who tutors A&P 1&2... I wouldn't recommend it. Even if you're an amazing student, there's just not enough time to actually remember everything you're being taught in such a small...

    How do you takes notes for biology?

    Wiggly Litchi replied to lexieanders's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    @Kaylee - I agree! My learning style is similar, but I have to draw things out too. I'm a mix of visual/tactile so I'm a sucker for notes, videos, models etc As for the OP: Try to put the material...

    Need some advice!

    Wiggly Litchi replied to kimpup123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I echo everything that everyone else here has said, though your post worries me. I thought like this about cigarettes when I was a heavy smoker. I just couldn't imagine not having one more cigarette...

    Just tell me to hang in there

    Wiggly Litchi replied to djksjdalksjf's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The same thing happened to me - Originally I was delayed by a semester because I had completed one of my pre-requisite science classes right after the deadline... I decided to hang around and do...

    Wiggly Litchi replied to Kyrshamarks's topic in General Nursing

    I completely agree with you!! One of my professors gave me an amazing book to read: Atul Gawande - Being Mortal. It was an amazing read, and I wish more people would check it out. On the topic of...

    Wiggly Litchi replied to FutureRNOnALongPath's topic in General Students

    TRUTH. I've been blessed with some great professors in my academic life, and some poor ones. I made it a habit when I didn't know something, to go out and find it myself. Sure, sometimes it can take a...

    Pathophysiology During the Summer???

    Wiggly Litchi replied to nursegirl2020's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A&P, Patho etc are really the foundation of what's to come in a nursing program. It's hard to build a strong house on shaky foundation. Plus, Nursing school is competitive - aiming for As in...

    LPN or CNA

    Wiggly Litchi replied to EdVedder's topic in General Students

    Both have their perks - but I'd say that LPN would be more beneficial as out of the two as it has the larger scope of practice. As a CNA I've become the master of ADLs and time management (I wish),...
