Your replies have really helped me, and I'm sure others will benefit too. I am also a pediatric OT and HouTx, you're right. When I work with an infant or toddler using balls and toys, I know that it just looks like I'm playing with them when reall...
OK so I'm halfway through the semester and liking the procedures lots more than the theory: nursing process, care plans and science-based content (like fluid/electrolyte balance and pharmaconutrition). I get the impression that we are expected to le...
This is such a relevant topic for me! I am a 1st semester BSN student but am also a practicing occupational therapist x 13 yrs. I provide family education for the infants I serve on a daily basis, do inservice training for our nurses on infant feed...

I can help with this topic-- I am an OT and a BSN student. Muscle tone refers to the amount of resistance to stretch muscles have while at rest. Most of us, whether we're fitness trainers or couch potatoes have "normal" muscle tone, meaning our mus...
My daughter is in her mid-20s and is getting ready to move home so she can go back to school for nursing. She was originally going to do an ADN program, but wants to finish quickly so she can return to the metro Atlanta area (we are near Macon). So...

I, too, am an older BSN student with 2 previous degrees. The last degree I completed was in an allied health profession. I currently work in an acute unit alongside nurses, earning a much higher salary. I won't begin my first nursing course until Jun...
Sharye, I must have missed your post-- I'm sorry! It seems that so many people have been rejected!! It is so sad that they do not interview and get to know all the candidates on a personal level. Everyone on this post is so articulate and enthusias...
I'm sorry dkwmom. You have a great attitude and that will take you as far in your profession and your life as you choose to go! :) Check with the office-- I don't know if they offer the programs in the same location for spring (In the past, they h...
I'm so sorry Lvance7. What an incredibly difficult process this is. But be proud of all that you've accomplished so far. You have met all the requirements for admission and are ready for your opportunity. You are doing the right thing to see your...
