1. New CNA Hospice experiences

   Kundera replied to hekat927's topic in CNA/MA

   I know this thread is old, but I wanted to thank Jacqueline for her post. I will be starting my new job as a hospice aide in just two weeks, and am sure her advice will be invaluable!

2. CNA to LPN to RN

   Kundera replied to worrywart75's topic in General Nursing

   You say that you don't want to consider student loans, but they very well may be your ticket to a better future. For me, they were the only way I could realistically get the college education I truly desired ( and I did it as single mom of preschoole...

3. I got back in

   Kundera replied to nurse12b's topic in General Students

   Good for you! I am sure you will do great this time around!

4. Flashcard suggestions for A&P class

   Kundera replied to MacMaster's topic in General Students

   Ditto what Intern67 said. The real value is in creating them yourself. One of my A & P professors told us that we should spend a good amount of time drawing the structures we were trying to memorize. One of the problems with premade flashcards (a...

5. Nursing or Accounting?

   Kundera replied to morerobert's topic in General Students

   Lol, you are helping people when you are an accountant! If I were you, I would think about what type of work environment you would feel the most comfortable. There is a lot of chaos in nursing, but if you are a people person it can be easier to ignor...

6. Online A&P-- does anyone accept it?

   Kundera replied to Anise1's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm taking an online a&p class and I LOVE it! The class is accepted by all our local community college programs, private universities, as well as our local teaching hospital's nursing and physician assistant programs. The lab and lecture info are...

7. Is this too many courses???

   Kundera replied to Misslady113's topic in General Nursing

   Yes, if the math is a developmental math course, I would definitely wait on the chemistry. Chemistry teachers usually warn you that math skills are what hold people back and keep them from doing chemistry. In my humble opinion, you need to have at le...

8. nursing vs medicine

   Kundera replied to kcerwniart's topic in General Students

   Yes, give yourself some time to figure out what it is you REALLY want! If you will be embarrassed to say you are a nurse, then nursing is probably a poor choice for you. Does the idea of giving patient care or taking orders from an MD make you cring...

9. Accelerated A&P at PSU

   Kundera replied to RunnerGirl09's topic in Oregon

   I wish that we didn't have to memorize the action, origin, and insertion in the community college course, but we do!

10. Accelerated A&P at PSU

    Kundera replied to RunnerGirl09's topic in Oregon

    I took A&P I at PSU during fall term and it was a very, very difficult class. You are learning the information at a higher level than the classes taught at the local community colleges. On the first day of class, the teacher basically told us tha...

11. what degree path to take: Associates or Bachelors

    Kundera replied to md714's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I would go BSN. It is getting harder and harder to make it in this world with less than a bachelors degree.

12. Denied funding - resolution of excess hours

    Kundera replied to krimicrat's topic in General Students

    I assume that you are trying to receive financial aid from a community college? To my knowledge, most universities will give you a federal financial aid loan for any "post-bac" classes that you want to complete for a new degree program. At my school ...

13. Is my career ruined before it began?

    Kundera replied to ize4love's topic in New Nurse

    Will your new employer ask to see all of the prescription medications you are "taking"? I doubt it. Also, most drug screens only test for heroin, pot, cocaine, the illegal stuff. Employers are not really worried about employees who are on medications...

14. Am I too old??

    Kundera replied to kimbo11's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Go for it! If you don't, you may always regret it!

15. Did I screw up for good?

    Kundera posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    I am a university student who is about to graduate with a bachelors degree in a liberal arts field. A few years ago I started taking a few nursing pre-reqs. I got a "B" in my A&P I class at a community college, so I decided to take a 300 level A&...
