1. Need A School To Attend

   Blupaisley replied to dave5668's topic in West Virginia

   I can tell you that I am a senior at WVUIT, and that was one of the reasons I chose that school,... NO WAIT! Their requirements are high, but I spoke to the director of the program, and they are desperate for applicants! We were allocated 32 spots ...

2. You know it's finals week when.....

   Blupaisley replied to locolorenzo22's topic in General Students

   -- your kids stop asking what's for dinner, they already know to filter through the freezer for whatever boxed meal looks most appealing. -- you are pretty sure that you've now developed a pressure sore in the sacral region from sitting on your tooka...

3. green poop

   Blupaisley replied to crazylilkelly's topic in Pediatric

   Don't forget flavored colas. Grape soda will also turn the poop a nasty green color. Ice pops definately. My brothers would revel at their technicolor poops after downing a whole box of Otter Pops.

4. Anyone accepted to WVSCTC for Fall 2007 program?

   Blupaisley replied to Monica D's topic in West Virginia

   I'm currently in my third year at WVSCTC, technically. I used State's Community College to get my Pre-Reqs out of the way. Now I'm dually enrolled at WVU Tech's BSN program, and still filling out the rest of my schedule at State ( APII, and Eng. 31...

   Blupaisley replied to Owensfamily's topic in Student Assist

   I bought a set of Mosby Nursing Skills by Potter and Perry, you could probably do a Search on Amazon and find a cheaper set. I bought mine through http://www.elsevierhealth.com for about $100 brand new. Nice set of videos (8 in all), That cover Bas...

6. Your Advice to a Pre-Nursing Student

   Blupaisley replied to FinderKeeper's topic in General Nursing

   Get organized and STAY organized! And have fun with it, as much as possible. A healthy sense of humor will go along way in maintaining sanity.

7. Do you think this would be goofy?

   Blupaisley replied to goldenscroll's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I think you're off to a great start! I would say the more accustomed you are to the terminology the better off you will be. Don't let these threads scare you TOO much about A&P. I found that if you pay attention (and to do this, you MUST show ...

8. looking into columbia's etp program for crna

   Blupaisley replied to mav493's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Okay, I'm speaking strictly as a Nursing Student, I am not a CRNA (......yet), however, ALL CRNA programs require AT LEAST 1 year of critical care experience. I also know that the competition is fierce, so a 3.5 with great GRE scores and great refer...

9. CPR Certification?

   Blupaisley replied to 2bz4uqt's topic in Alabama

   Google the Red Cross. I found the link on a United Way website I think. Really nice because they had all the different CPR classes (who knew there were so many different CPR certifications) listed with the dates and times. It also allowed me to re...

    My mother dealt with the liscensing of docs at Cabell for years, knew the records of most in the area, and she has insisted for years that Cabell has the best overall medical staff (St. Mary's is getting better), and that under NO circumstances was I...

11. G.P.A. of 3.0 or lower?

    Blupaisley replied to chioma829's topic in General Students

    I got into WVU Tech's BSN program with a 3.8, however a friend of mine got in with a 2.8, but she was vigilant in talking with the school asking how she could improve her chances, they accepted her providing she retake one of her science classes over...

12. This sucks...please help!

    Blupaisley replied to Butterfly23's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I think a quick look at the pre-nursing boards will give you some idea on the difficulty involved in the "getting in" process. It is hard, it is frustrating, but it is completely doable! I spent 2 years getting into a BSN program, still have 3 year...

13. "As long as we all get a 'C'..." HMMM?!?!?

    Blupaisley replied to NSFA08's topic in Pre-Nursing

    You will find that those that settle for "skating by" are whittled out slowly, the ones that remain are those that decided to buckle down. I had a study group for A&PI that was filled with this sort of attitude, even worse they said "Oh well, I'...
