1. Older Student/Over 60 years old

   wannabe an rn replied to forestlover's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I appreciate your post, and you're fortunate that you haven't been treated differently, but I know many other older students who have, and that's where my advise comes from. You may be one of the lucky ones that don't experience some form of age dis...

2. Older Student/Over 60 years old

   wannabe an rn replied to forestlover's topic in Pre-Nursing

   My advice is to walk away and don't look back. During the four rotations I've had so far, I haven't had one instructor actually come in the room with me and TEACH me anything. I used to think they were confident in my abilities and didn't feel the ...

3. Pageburst?

   wannabe an rn replied to wannabe an rn's topic in General Students

   How much did it cost you? I have orientation this week and the vendor is going to be there selling the "bundle" that consists of both the text and download.

4. Pageburst?

   wannabe an rn replied to wannabe an rn's topic in General Students

   The only thing that concerns me is that we're all expected to have laptops (which I do), and I'm sure we're supposed to have the textbooks downloaded via pageburst for our lectures.

5. Pageburst?

   wannabe an rn posted a topic in General Students

   The nursing books we are required to have are available on pageburst which apparently allows you to download the book content to your laptop. Does anyone know how expensive this is? Are there less expensive alternatives? I've looked up the requir...

   That's exactly what I'm looking for. What brand is it? I'd love to get one.

7. Stethoscope feels very uncomfortable in my ears...

   wannabe an rn posted a topic in Uniform/Gear

   Does it get better? I've tried the lightweight, the classic SE II and the cardiac. ALL of them feel uncomfortable in my ears and feels like it's going to punch right through my ear drums. Anyone else have this problem?

8. Waiting list - is it a guarantee to be put in the program?

   wannabe an rn replied to Mb92's topic in Pre-Nursing

   There is only one program I know of that "guarantees" students on the wait list will start the program. Other than the fact that you're basically in a holding pattern on the wait list, many programs are continually updating their entrance prerequis...

9. Best online site to buy scrubs and stethoscope?

   wannabe an rn posted a topic in Student Assist

   I'm looking to buy my scrubs and a quality stethoscope (lots of ear cushion) on the cheap. I came across cherokee online but their standard shipping rates nullify any savings on the scrubs. Any suggestions?

    Good luck Angela! I think you're going to get that call. I still haven't gotten anything from Chabot!

    They have one applicant pool, with the same requirements for both campuses.

12. Merritt College ADN Program Fall 2010 - What does "Alternate" mean????

    wannabe an rn replied to sheilam's topic in California

    Hi dreamnurse, this was posted on March 9, 2011 by lil bit country; I am in the program now and it has not improved from what I can tell. The instructors are discouraging, belittling, and unapproachable. All of the classes are self-taught (with th...

13. Anyone took Online Pathophysiology and Pharmacology at SBCC??

    wannabe an rn replied to live.love.laugh's topic in California

    Hi Optimism, Patho is completely self paced. Pharmacology is a bit more structured. The lectures are all posted online, and you read them at your convenience. The tests are timed and are multiple choice/true false. Your tests are automatically g...

14. Anyone took Online Pathophysiology and Pharmacology at SBCC??

    wannabe an rn replied to live.love.laugh's topic in California

    I took both patho and pharmacology at SBCC. Taking them together should be fine, I don't recall being overwhelmed with work from either. Just FYI, the pharmacology class does not include any dosage calculations work.
