   Honestly I don't remember how much I paid for them, but I don't think it was too much. I'm pretty sure they were under $20.

3. Kingwood College--Online Self-Paced Program

   cad4296 replied to CurlyGirlie's topic in Texas

   I'm in kingwood's normal ADN program and from what the instructors have said you still have to come in person for your lab and clinical, so they only "online" part really would be lecture. Honestly lectures seem to come straight out of the book anywa...

4. Shopping for Fall 08

   cad4296 replied to KCnTexas's topic in Texas

   I got mine from PRN medical supply off of 1960. The place looks questionable walking in and you really have to dig through the racks to find what you're looking for, but they have things sorted by brand so that makes it a bit easier!

   I've had no luck getting my foot in the door with the hospitals. Alot of the unit secretary positions want previous experience. I am finishing my first semester of the RN program and alot of the hospitals will hire students as CNA's after first semes...

9. Pharmacology at Lone Star College System

   cad4296 replied to CurlyGirlie's topic in Texas

   I took it online with Wanda Seaback a couple of summers ago. From what I remember it wasn't too bad. I think you had a weekly case study and 4 tests and that was pretty much it. For those of you worried about the tons of reading and 10 chapters per t...

    There are ways around having to get that information. I know when I was 18 I was living with a friend's family (had been living with them since I was 16.) Well long story short the family I lived with was trying to adopt me but my mom wouldn't give u...

12. What do you hate about your Nursing School?

    cad4296 replied to WindyhillBSN's topic in General Students

    I hate the fact that no matter how hard I try I just can't get that A on the tests! But considering they told us day one that there would probably be about 1 A, 5 B's and the other 30 would be C's I guess being one of the B's isn't too shabby. I als...

13. Patient's preferences during birth

    cad4296 replied to TTE7's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm definately not a nurse yet, still just a student, but your post reminded me of this book I read, Pushed: The Painful Truth About Childbirth and Modern Maternity Care by Jennifer Block. It was a real eye opener. It discussed the frequent use of pi...

    cad4296 posted a topic in CNA/MA

    Ok I am in my last two days of my CNA class and I really don't know what to do about this! I know the proper procedures for transferring and all that, but I'm a small girl and physically, have not been able to do it on my own. I'm 5'2" and weigh abou...

    cad4296 replied to Addersmom's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I did the Monday/Wednesday nights and Saturday clinicals. I haven't decided yet if I'm going to keep my full time job so I got a schedule that works with it for now. I went in person this morning. I had a friend who tried to do it via email, but then...
