    Spring 2017 Chat

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

    Oh my gosh, I would have panicked! I've gotten straight A's this semester, but I'm kinda worried about my psychology class... My Professor is pretty flaky; she doesn't read our papers at all and only...

    Disposable face mask and tea tree oil, or if you wanna skip the mask, go with some mentholatum/vicks in your nose works wonders! Grats on the awesome

    How many prerequisites did you take for A&P1&2?

    Wiggly Litchi replied to Skippy97's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A bit of both at my college - they won't explicitly state that you have to take chem or bio before you can get into A&P, though I wish they would and then let people test out of them if needed. A...

    Should I take anatomy and physiology 1 and 2 consecutively ?

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

    A&P is one of those subjects that you will ALWAYS be reviewing, even deep into your nursing career. Really it depends on you as to whether it'd negatively affect you taking them so far apart. As...

    What should I do - Abusive Instructor

    Wiggly Litchi replied to neuron's topic in General Students

    I say this as kindly as possible, but suck it up and do it her way. It's often said that there's two ways of doing things - the NCLEX way, and the real world way; in order to be able to take safe...

    Desperately need help studying efficiently

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

    Oh my gosh, yes! I had such a culture shock starting college in America because they drill you with 3 chapters so quickly that all you can really do is memorize, and then fill in the blanks another...

    Desperately need help studying efficiently

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

    Flashcards help, but 2100 seems a bit overkill - my current A&P professor doesn't give a study guide; we are able to be tested on any of the information from the chapter for each exam, that and...

    How to survive Pre-nursing

    Wiggly Litchi replied to MsPerkins79's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It depends on a few factors- If you have the right support network at home (partner, kids chipping in), then it's not like they are doing eeeeverything themselves. Professors that don't bog students...

    Putting off A&P1 due to professor options?

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

    The professor I took for A&P 1 had negative reviews online, but the main reason was because of her thick Indian accent - she ended up being my favorite professor that semester; she was truly...

    A Typical Overview Of A Resident In A Nursing Home?

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

    I'm not going to do your homework question for you, but I'll help you think - Ask yourself these questions - What type of person do you generally find in a nursing home? Do they have any mental...

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

    Yay for dual citizenship! I wouldn't mind getting dual, but honestly it's nice still having that safety net, even if it has been 10 years since I went back haha. 20 years... maaaan I feel old now...

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

    When I moved from the UK nothing transferred over, so I even had to get a GED before I could start college :/ I'm on my last Gen Eds now and I can't wait for it to be over - I'm trying to stay...

    I might have no idea what I'm doing! I need guidance.

    Wiggly Litchi replied to Han1dayCRNA's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Go and chat in person with advising - I was also in the same boat as you kinda - I'm from the UK but living in the USA so I had no school record stateside; I also had no SATA scores etc because I've...

    How many prerequisites did you take for A&P1&2?

    Wiggly Litchi replied to Skippy97's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No prerequisites for me, but I have a strong science background so I was lucky. There were a few in my A&P 1 class that struggled because of this, and it's definitely apparent in my A&P 2...

    How to survive Pre-nursing

    Wiggly Litchi replied to MsPerkins79's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This!! So many of the people I tutor complain that they get poor test grades, so I ask them how they studied - very few will say that they read the text book; most say "Well, I found someone's...

    Overweight Nursing Student

    Wiggly Litchi replied to somedaynursing's topic in General Students

    I work with a few overweight nurses and while they can keep up, a few do tend to tire quickly and require a few more sit-downs - this isn't true for all of them, but some do. As to how much it will...

    Can I shadow my parents?

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

    Also going to chime in and say that I don't think it's a good idea - in healthcare especially, it's very important to maintain a professional demeanor, which can be hard when you're essentially mixing...

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

    This x1000. I lost a decade of my life trying to please someone else; I regret it whole heartedly. Don't make the same mistake I did. You have one life, so live it in a way that is fulfilling to you....

    I'm not the greatest at math and science, anyone else?

    Wiggly Litchi replied to Skippy97's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If anyone reading this is kinda science/math phobic - I suggest getting your feet wet with some video lectures and interactive lessons at Khanacademy.org - I've sent a lot of my students here (I...

    Hey there - I'm British (live in the USA) and had the BCG vaccine so I always test positive on the skin test now; it's no big deal. All I do is provide a copy of a chest xray to...

    Mentioning stuff on Facebook is so dangerous - there's been countless stories of terminations of healthcare professionals in the past because they've over shared. I remember one nurse who'd posted a...

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

    If you're working full time, going to school full time AND have a young child then I am not surprised that you are so overwhelmed. I agree with what HouTx says about checking with your advisers - it...
