2. CCM exam

   tabby99 replied to momswann's topic in Case Management

   I just took it today and got a preliminary pass. I have to say that studying for This exam was pure torture. I think it was worse to study for than the nclex because at least with the nclex you had two years of school drilling the stuff into your he...

5. A day in the life of an nurse in a Doctor office

   tabby99 replied to D&Ggirl's topic in General Nursing

   How much do nurses who work in Dr's offices make anyway? I wouldn't mind making less to have lower stress and more pt. contact.

   tabby99 replied to Linz8's topic in Uniform/Gear

   I just got the white Keen professionals...they are awesome and i got them for like 45 bucks or something recently at Sierra Trading Post. I was wearing New Balance wide white shoes....but they were sooooo ugly and reminded me of grandma shoes...haha....

7. New grad market improving?

   tabby99 replied to want2banrn's topic in New Nurse

   Haha...yeah....it makes me cringe already. I am probably the most interested in behavioral health nursing but even they require you to put in your time on med surg. I think I might try to work at a doctor's office for less money. I'm not sure the cra...

8. New grad market improving?

   tabby99 replied to want2banrn's topic in New Nurse

   Yeah, I almost feel like this degree is kind of useless these days bc you can't even get your foot in the door. Without a new grad program I am not going to get very good training, which I feel I need to be successful...but there are hardly any new g...

9. New grad market improving?

   tabby99 replied to want2banrn's topic in New Nurse

   I live in N. Arizona....bad around here. The hospital is planning to either cut the new grad program out or else cut it to 10 positions only with 200 applicants expected. I will probably have to drive 1 to 2 hours out to the boon docks to get a job ...

    tabby99 replied to Montessori Mommy's topic in General Students

    I ran antibiotics in below the pump once...and they were a type that was not supposed to run in fast.....I almost had a heart attack. My preceptor watched me and didn't catch it either. It was awful awful awful...I don't think I will ever ever repeat...

    I have never heard of psychology on the Hesi. It wasn't on mine, and I have never even seen it on any Hesi list.

12. HELP! Bombed the HESI Entrance Test

    tabby99 replied to alphadog0228's topic in HESI

    I would recommend the HESI study guide. I used that one, and just got a 97 on my HESI. The math is easy but you can easily screw it up if you are not a math person and you don't memorize how to do all that stuff (that you never have to use in everyd...

13. What are the CNA classes like?

    tabby99 replied to PhoenixGirl's topic in Arizona

    Hey- Has anyone taken nutrition online at Rio? I have to take it, and I'm not sure whether to do it at CCC or online. Haven't heard great things about the nutrition classes from anyone. Thanks

14. Who's taken Bio156 online at Rio Salado

    tabby99 replied to aawilwcb's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I took the 16 week. There is no way I would recommend the 8 wk. unless you are really familiar w/ the material already. It's a crazy amt of work! As I recall, we started with the ecosystem, organ systems , cells, atoms, etc then onto the organelles n...

15. Who's taken Bio156 online at Rio Salado

    tabby99 replied to aawilwcb's topic in Pre-Nursing

    The book is called "Biology for Dummies" and I recommend it even though it does not cover everything in the bio book, it does talk about a lot of it. To get an A in the class, I read every chapter, spent a lot of time on the SYL essays and made them ...
