1. Finish school after health issues?

   rme999 posted a topic in Men

   I am a 60 year old male on disability and recently had a heart attack and some major back problems. I had to withdraw from school 7/8 of the way thru an ADN program. Should I try to go back or will my long term health and age keep me from acceptanc...

2. What Should I Specialize In?

   rme999 posted a topic in Career Support

   Hi all, I'm an older guy (mid-50s) in my last semester of nursing school, getting an ADN after already having got a BS, JD, and MBA years ago. This is my second career, after early retirement. I am divorced, my kids are grown, and I am free to travel...

3. Fall 09 - North Lake \ El Centro - Email from Kanora?

   rme999 replied to jpgmavs's topic in Texas

   Hi Dammy, I don't know. I haven't joined SNA :-) There are different COMMUNITIES on ecampus for ECC and Brookhaven, but I would think NLC and ECC would be pretty much the same and NLC people would have access to the ECC document ........... Richard

6. El Centro First Year - Buy book box or not?

   rme999 replied to rme999's topic in Texas

   Hi Oneday, A lot of it is in the COMMUNITY tab. At El Centro I have the ECC-AD NURSING community in my Community list. There's also a Brookhaven Nursing Community listed but I can't get there. I would think Northlake would use the ECC community st...

   Hi Mom35! I don't know about you, but I plan on going home each night after orientation, so I figure if we need a form, they'll tell us on Tuesday, and I can bring it Wednesday! I am obsessing about this stuff way too much! Richard

   rme999 replied to jpgmavs's topic in Texas

   There's definitely stuff that needs signatures but most of it seems to be left over from the Spring 09 classes. For instance, under RNSG 1423, Course Documents, the first thing is "ADN Forms" and it's a form we sign that says we will obey policies a...

9. El Centro First Year - Buy book box or not?

   rme999 replied to rme999's topic in Texas

   Hi guys, I can't wait to see us all in our non-flattering scrubs! Mine have been sitting in the bag from Majors since the day after orientation ... now I'm afraid to look! Of course, I'm a guy, but we don't want our butts to look horrendously big ei...

    rme999 replied to jpgmavs's topic in Texas

    Hi Chickpea, We got an email from Kanora about a stethoscope sale by the SNA, but today the SNA Community posting says it's been cancelled. Should we all be thinking about getting new stethoscopes, or is the WalMart one I got for HPRS1204 sufficient...

11. El Centro/Northlake students I have a question

    rme999 replied to mom35's topic in Texas

    Hi All, This is sort of on topic, with all these hours that are not reflected in the number of credits ... I'm only taking 8 credits first semester because I already have all the support courses. Is that enough to get a Dart pass for El Centro? Do ...

    rme999 replied to jpgmavs's topic in Texas

    Yes, i got them a while ago (at Majors) but i haven't really looked at them yet. I think I'll try to load the e-versions on my laptop this weekend. Are they running separate orientations? Richard

    rme999 replied to jpgmavs's topic in Texas

    I haven't gotten anything from Kanora, but I did get an email from Dr. Branscome with information about RNSG1423 as follows: In Course Documents on eCampus check-out the classroom schedule. You will have class on Mon.(Sec.5110) or Thurs.(Sec. 5120). ...

    rme999 replied to jpgmavs's topic in Texas

    HI all, No email yet, but when I went to eConnect this morning I was already registered for my RNSG classes, and I just paid my bill, which included about $20 in insurance. The two courses show up on eCampus as well, but nothing under Community. I'm...

    rme999 replied to jpgmavs's topic in Texas

    I haven't received anything ewither (ECC Fall 09). I thought that July 21 was the day we were supposed to see something on eConnect about registering for classes, getting insurance, etc. There is a little more info on eCampus though. If you go in...
