  1. Who knew that a med tech = MD

    :yeahthat: Good attitude. Keep up the great work and ignore the med tech. I'm sure he/she is just very proud of passing the course. It is a bad situation though when someone thinks they are above learning something everyday. K
  2. Online Nutrition Classes

    I took mine online. It was tough, but not that hard. We had internet streams of the "classroom" lectures each week. University of Southern Indiana http://www.usi.edu K
  3. Anyone out there Vanderbilt?

    I would have to take out loans as well. Did Vandy's fin aid dept help you get all of it ready? I've been reading about the "alternative" loans, other than the 10,500-18,500 available through stafford but I still have trouble figuring it all out. I...
  4. I didn't get all this education to wipe behinds!

    I think working as a PCA will make me a better nurse someday. I can guarantee I won't be one of those nurses that chase down someone to remove a bedpan. As far as technical jobs as a PCA I do the following: start and d/c foleys, d/c IVs, simple ster...
  5. The look!!!

    ROFL!! Only in the male nurse forum. Funny. I have a BS in Business Management and start my accelerated BSN program next month. I might go that route too after a while, but for now I'm more interested in patient care. I'm looking into FNP, PA, o...
  6. NP's having to get a PhD

    Yeah, not a PhD.. a clinical doctorate. Funny though, I don't think they've even decided on a name for it yet. Doctor of Nursing Practice, Clinical Nurse Doctorate?? WHAT? lol I personally don't have the same reservations as some. I think it co...
  7. Anyone out there Vanderbilt?

    I personally would LOVE to go to the vandy MSN bridge program. How the HECK do you come up with $30k/year to attend. If I could figure that out, I'd be applying instead of typing this. K
  8. I want to become a CRNA

    My hospital accepts new RNs directly into ICU, but most of the RNs I've talked to that did this said they were scared @#$%less. I'm hoping I'll get lucky and have some great experienced ICU nurses to mentor me. :-) K
  9. dissapointed nursing student

  10. Tired question but I gotta ask about OB clinicals

    I've been ask to leave the room as well. It did feel like crap, but oh well. Don't be so stressed.. it's just 4 days. K
  11. Hey guys (if you remember me)

    You sound like you'll make a great Social worker. You definately won't have to worry about "doing it for the money". lol Social work also takes a special person and you sound like you'll be great. My first degree is a BS in Business Management wit...
  12. Waiting Lists

    I live in KY but go to school in IN. At the school I'm at neither the regular BSN nor the accel-BSN have waiting lists. It's all dependent on your prereqs, interviews, etc. From what I've heard, the KY the community colleges in the area have at lea...
  13. Minimum passing grade

    Prereqs: 70% (But you'd better get higher if you want to get into the prog) Acc-BSN 76% Lecture Pass/Fail Clinicals K
  14. Part-time healthcare work during school - options?

    I work as a tech and I get benefits for working at least 40 hours in a two week pay period. The training was given at the hospital and during training I was paid just as if I was working on the floor. The hospital knew that many techs were students...
