1. I feel stupid. Can anyone answer a question about a care plan?

   MisStake replied to DroogieRN's topic in General Students

   Hi there! I'm also doing my first few careplans and just posted a question for help....they're really difficult so far! Now, I am definitely not an expert on these but I can try to help you. Diaphoresis is increased sweating, so I guess to make a car...

2. Yep another help with careplan post!!

   MisStake posted a topic in General Students

   This is only my second care plan ever, so bear with me. I need help formulating a nursing diagnosis for my patient. He is ESRD, Type II diabetic, CHF, Dementia patient, MRSA+ in his blood, admitted for fever and weakness. His GFR is 6, he is on dialy...

3. Anyone else Starting at Los Medanos RN Program 8/19/08?

   MisStake replied to luckeyme's topic in General Students

   I'm in Oakley too!! I didn't apply anywhere else, even though I knew it would increase my chances of finishing sooner. I didn't have enough classes for Cal State East Bay (I need three more math classes, ick!!) and I have two small kids so I couldn't...

4. Anyone else Starting at Los Medanos RN Program 8/19/08?

   MisStake replied to luckeyme's topic in General Students

   You might be surprised. I met a few people while taking the TEAS test and, at the time, I was still an alternate and didn't even know if I was in yet....and it seemed every person I talked to there had applied for their first time and got in! Talk ab...

6. Anyone else Starting at Los Medanos RN Program 8/19/08?

   MisStake replied to luckeyme's topic in General Students

   Hi there! I'm starting at LMC this fall...and it also took me 3 attempts plus the TEAS. I was an alternate, so I wasn't even expecting that I'd get in, but I was never as happy to hear from anyone in my life as I was when the lady from admissions cal...

7. Alternate!!! Crying all day!!!

   MisStake replied to 2bNurseArrica's topic in General Students

   Don't give up hope. I was alternate #17 (really, really bad odds there) and I got in! 12 people who got in (out of the 45) decided not to take their spot, and 5 people (or more, I don't really know) failed the TEAS, and I got in!! So, it can, and doe...

9. Los Medanos College

   MisStake replied to Kimberley.RN's topic in California

   The only advice I can give you is to diversify yourself...don't just take pre-reqs for and plan only on LMC's RN program. Take the core pre-reqs first (Anatomy, micro, physio, english, math, psych) *and* nutrition (the LVN program requires it as wel...

    MisStake replied to MisStake's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Los Medanos in Pittsburg. What they did was send out the letters to the accepted people (45) and the alternates. Then everyone had to send letters back either accepting or declining. 12 people outright declined, the others all confirmed. Then everyon...

11. Bay area- jobs while waiting, pre-nursing school

    MisStake replied to Duke112's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I wouldn't waste the time and money getting your CNA. I've had mine for a year now and have been unable to find a job in a hospital in the Bay Area, and I've applied to every open CNA position I can find. I'm sure I could find a job at a SNF, but I r...

    MisStake posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    Okay, so I talked to the admissions lady from the RN program at my school. I am an alternate (#17) for my ADN program. 45 students were chosen, and 20 alternates. All chosen students and alternates have to take the TEAS test and pass with 67 or they ...
