1. How on earth is UC Accelerated Pathway's application deadline June 1st?

   LuvCinci replied to Samian Q's topic in Ohio

   I would apply as soon as possible- deadlines do not matter very much for this program, per se. It is likely that the Phase II June 2011 cohort is probably filling up soon (there are only about 32 students per cohort, with a cohort being class start ...

2. What was your 1st day of (non-orientation) CNA work like?

   LuvCinci replied to emily_ganshert's topic in CNA/MA

   After my first day (12 hr shift) I came home, zombie look on my face, walked in the door, and burst into tears when my boyfriend asked how it went. Just finished my fourth day yesterday, and was all smiles! It gets better each day. Being new is so ...

3. Nursing Career & Relationships, Marriage

   LuvCinci replied to OnePostAndDone's topic in General Nursing

   I haven't read all the responses yet, and apologize if I am reiterating someone's point, but here goes: I went to graduate school while my (now ex) boyfriend was finishing up undergrad. I'll start by saying that he and I weren't ultimately right for...

4. CNA before RN?

   LuvCinci replied to megs612's topic in General Nursing

   That's what I am doing! I have heard from a few people that if you were a CNA/PCA, you are much more comfortable at transitioning to being a nurse because of what you have observed and the experience you have in patient contact. Good luck with your...

5. What is so bad about STATS?

   LuvCinci replied to Kamdyn's topic in General Students

   I think that most math seems hard because it is surprisingly abstract. Keep an open/creative mind and you should be fine.

6. New Nursing Student!

   LuvCinci replied to VickieStudentNurse's topic in General Nursing

   Lots of great advice here! Every single time I've started a new semester of school, it's panic mode time. You get your syllabi and see all of the things that lie ahead of you and it's overwhelming. I agree that writing down a schedule of due dates ...

7. Nurse Campy Fancy Pants!

   LuvCinci replied to Doc Lori, R.N.'s topic in General Nursing

   I begin nursing school in January, and I just got some new scrubs for my soon-to-start PCA job. I love having a uniform! I was so excited about it, I tried all of them on again right away that evening (what a geek). I will be working as a PCA at a...

8. did i just ruin my career at 21

   LuvCinci replied to LookForward's topic in General Nursing

   Don't second guess yourself! I have realized that whatever situation I am in, I have the ability to be happy. It's not always easy, and sometime hard to see, but you will find happiness in what you have chosen to do, as long as you don't dwell on t...

9. No one thinks I can do it!

   LuvCinci replied to MKO90's topic in Pre-Nursing

   YOU CAN DO IT! When I started school for a different degree a few years ago, I had one person tell me that because I never had a formal class in the field I wanted to go into that it would be really hard for me, and "uh...good luck..." I decided righ...

10. I have the interview, now what?

    LuvCinci replied to StangGang92's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for posting this! I have an interview tomorrow, and all of your comments helped greatly! :)

11. University of Cincinnati's Accelerated nursing program

    LuvCinci replied to nursegirl513's topic in Ohio

    Hey Sam, I replied to you in a different discussion, but just realized that I did not include something that may be helpful to you- do you have any A and P classes so far? The "3" is based on the fact that UC is a quarter system (right now anyway, th...

    LuvCinci replied to JOHIO's topic in Ohio

    Sam- you should consider enrolling at Cincinnati State (www.cincinnatistate.edu)- they have many of the prerequisites available and are less expensive than other options! Many of the courses are available online. However, you have to be on the ball...

14. how do i study? self motivate myself? be disciplined? more assertive?

    LuvCinci replied to mashamontago's topic in Student Assist

    Try to jazz up your studying any way you can- break the monotony! One thing you can try is to use brightly colored flashcards. I know this may seem silly, but it may add a little snazz. I have been through quite a bit of schooling, and one thing th...
