1. Moving to Lexington..Nursing schools?

   amandakash replied to GamerGirL337's topic in Kentucky

   The second degree program at UK is NOT accellerated. It takes 2.5 years to complete. If you want an accelerated program look at EKU, U of L, NKU, or Bellarmine.

2. What do you think? Bellarmine, chances at EKU

   amandakash replied to hopeful15's topic in Kentucky

   If you're going to do the UK program - have you thought about their second degree option? It's not accelerated so you would still have more time to spend with your girls. I'm in the ABSN at EKU right now and I'm also in Lexington and I'm struggling...

   Congrats CestLaVie! Where are you right now for clinical?

4. eku nursing

   amandakash replied to sophie<3's topic in Kentucky

   Yes, you have to take BIO 137 and 139 though. There is a lecture and a lab component for both of them. Shirley Whitescarver is the best. Hands down. I love her. There are separate classes you can take but I'm pretty sure that EKU needs you to hav...

   amandakash replied to sophie<3's topic in Kentucky

   I don't know how much they weigh them against each other if that is what you're asking. If you are apply for the 2nd degree you have to have all of the pre-reqs done before you start the program and I'm pretty sure that they only enroll in the fall....

6. HawthoRNe

   amandakash replied to nalaa83's topic in Humor

   I've been watching Hawthorne from the beginning and it's good. I preferred Mercy only because the acting was 1000x better. I'm not a nurse yet, but I feel like the roles in Hawthorne may be more accurate. But, I could be way off base.

7. BCTC vs. UK CNA Class

   amandakash replied to amandakash's topic in Kentucky

   That's great since I haven't been able to find an AHA offering within an hour of me in the time that I need it completed. Grrrrrrr... But that's another issue for another day. Red Cross is good enough for my program and I need to complete that befor...

8. Why I have chosen nursing as a career

   amandakash replied to sara_ky's topic in General Nursing

   I am also leaving the job market to pursue a nursing career. I'm anxious as the time approaches for me to start my clinical as I have no hospital or patient experience. I've been scared of a lot of things since I was a kid, but as I've evaluated my...

9. Moving to Lexington..Nursing schools?

   amandakash replied to GamerGirL337's topic in Kentucky

   Just FYI - UK's BSN program is NOT accelerated. I was deciding between UK and EKU and that was really the dividing line for me. EKU is much cheaper, and even though I will be driving from Lexington, it's not very far. Especially when you take into...

10. BLS vs. CPR/AED??

    amandakash replied to eyoliver's topic in General Nursing

    I'm enrolled in a Red Cross CPR for healthcare professionals class for my nursing program. The cert. is good for two years and it costs $80. The AHA BLS for healthcare professionals isn't as readily offered in my area. Our program will take any CP...

11. BCTC vs. UK CNA Class

    amandakash replied to amandakash's topic in Kentucky

    Thanks for your input so far. I think I'm going to stick with BCTC. I was just wondering if there is a fundamental difference between the BLS offered at UK and the CPR for healthcare providers that I'm signed up for with the Red Cross. I'm sure ther...

12. How To Survive (and Thrive) In Nursing School

    amandakash replied to 86toronado's topic in General Students

    This is so great!! I was admitted to an accelerated BSN program to start this August and I could not be more excited/terrified. I'm always looking for tip sheets so this is fantastic. Thank you so much!

    amandakash replied to guest358111's topic in General Nursing

    This is a very nice post. It reminds me of the way my maternal grandmother just passed. She was in the ICU and not LTC, but in the end she knew something we didn't. She knew that it was time for her to stop suffering. Luckily we were all able to ...

14. BCTC vs. UK CNA Class

    amandakash posted a topic in Kentucky

    Hey all - I'm currently signed up to take BCTC's CNA class in the fall but I know that UK offers one as well. It's more expensive but it includes BLS which BCTC does not. I'm already planning on taking a CPR for healthcare providers through red cr...

15. Calling all EKU BSN or ABSN students

    amandakash replied to kyexplorer's topic in Kentucky

    WOW! Thank you so much for your response! It was all I could have asked for and more. I'm just so nervous about starting that I'm trying to be all OCD and being as prepared as possible. I hope things are going well for you over at UK - maybe we'l...
