It's not just Everest. There are plenty of for-profit colleges out there that are just waiting for people to sign up for classes. Just turn on the TV and you will see ad after ad for college degrees from multiple schools. Google search people who ...

In my city the nursing homes don't usually call us for DNR's. If they are working the code or the pt's not a DNR then they call us unless it's an obvious death. We usually fill out a death report and give it to PD upon their arrival. Just makes th...
My EMS system has been doing IO's for a long while, but we just got the drill about two years ago. We will usually put them in after the first failed attempt on an IV during a cardiac arrest. I actually put one in last week on an obese 43 y/o fema...

That question was answered during the information session. The director stated that the BSN is accepted by ODU but after you meet the additional chem req. Sentara's program requires Chem 1 while ODU requires chem 1 & 2. So essentially you woul...

I also didn't get accepted. Overall GPA of 3.1 something. Pre requisite GPA of 3.8+. The only pre reqs that I didn't get A's in were Eng 111 and Intro to Psych. I got B's for those two in the mid 90's. I've emailed the interim director four times now...

Congrats on your letter. Does any know if we need to send in an updated copy of our transcripts? i.e. turning another set of transcripts in with spring semester grades on them?

Called the Alabama Department of Education. They very kindly informed me that they were sorry but would be unable to help me. Sigh, if I had known I was going to have to take the GED I could have skipped my high school years and partied:crying2:

Thank you for the advice. Talking to someone for the board of education will be hard since I live in Virginia and graduated HS in Alabama. Sending them an email and going in person to talk to the nursing school admissions person. Hopefully one of...
I graduated from a private high school in 1993 which is no longer around. I have a copy of my old high school transcript, but the nursing program will only take a "certified" copy. I have been through the usual routes, i.e. calling the school distr...

Sorry, haven't heard anything (or attended any classes) about the Norfolk campus classes or professors. Maybe someone else who has attended that campus can answer? you can always type their names into ratemyprofessors.com. Just don't take everyth...

I'm not 100% on this, but from my understanding your lecture and lab have be at the same campus. You don't need the same instructors, but same campus. When you sign up for the class online it prompts you to pick the corresponding lab/lecture at th...
