   Hi everyone! I am currently in nursing school (graduating in May) and have recently started my job search. I have two interviews next week and will also be attending a couple of career fairs in the near future. Nursing is a career change for me a...

   serenity8675 posted a topic in Student Assist

   Hi everyone! I'm reviewing for an exam and I have a question about one of the practice scenarios I have. The patient is undergoing an upper endoscopy for further evaluation of peptic ulcers. After the endoscopy, which is more important in the imme...

3. "Yinz"

   serenity8675 replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

   It's Pittsburgh's equivalent of "y'all". I'm from Pittsburgh but, since I wasn't raised here, I don't use the word. If I did say it though, I wouldn't say it in my professional practice, but that's just my personal preference. I wouldn't think les...

   serenity8675 replied to Bobsdaughter's topic in Pennsylvania

   Don't sweat it, it happens to the best of us. I was there. They covered a ton of information; we were there until about 8:30. All the materials from orientation are posted on the Blackboard website so all you have to do is login there and you'll ...

   CCAC had my drug test results within a day or two. I waited a week and then called the campus to make sure they received it.

   There's also St. Clair Memorial Hospital to the south. I've heard good things about them.

   If you read back through this thread, probably the first ten pages, some people posted their GPA's.

   To all of those attending Boyce - how was registration for you? Did you get your first choice?

    That's horrible you have to run back to North for lab!! Luckily my professor just excused me and another girl for the entire night (at Allegheny campus). Not weird. I got my fingerprints done on November 19 also and I just got mine back yesterday....

    I'm SO excited for Monday!! I heard it's supposed to be an hour or two, but I don't know how accurate that is. I know that we get our class schedules and there will be someone there to fit us for scrubs, but I don't know if there is anything else...

12. Suggestions to prepare for school

    serenity8675 replied to Dennis88's topic in General Students

    I'm in the same boat. Finished A&P 2 in May of this year and starting nursing classes in January. I certainly don't think reviewing A&P stuff could hurt. A friend of mine got me these flashcards and I really like them, very helpful. http...

    Go to the CPR tab and click on 'Find a CPR Class'. Only enter your zipcode and a mileage radius. Unselect the 'View Schedule Classes' section. It should come up with a list of centeres that provide classes. Some of them have websites that you can...

    Online certifications aren't acceptable, at least not at Boyce campus. I assume the same goes for all the other campus. I went to the American Heart Association's website and it gave me a huge list of places to get certified. I went to the EMS Cen...

    serenity8675 replied to BMWZ42004's topic in Student Assist

    THANK GOD! I'm so glad that there's going to be someone else starting at Boyce who actually expects to have to work to get a good grade. I've met several people who expect it to be handed to them on a platter.
