   chyna016 replied to caughtbuckinoff's topic in Operating Room

   A student membership in AORN is only $20. You will have access to most their site, and get a subscription to the AORN journal. It is worth it!

2. How long for ATT, test date, license.

   chyna016 replied to Southern Magnolia's topic in Colorado

   It all worked out! I was worried when I saw your timeframe, I have heard the U pretty firm about having your license by the start date. Mine just posted also, and took 9 business days.

3. How long for ATT, test date, license.

   chyna016 replied to Southern Magnolia's topic in Colorado

   What about North Platte or Casper? I looked at moving up mine, and Casper had some closer dates, but I decided to stick with my original date.

   That is such great news! I told everyone graduating in December ruined the holidays, but we have gotten our ATTs much faster than the May grads :-)

6. I failed my Blood pressure assessment

   chyna016 replied to Bluebrown's topic in Student Assist

   If they have a training double stethoscope try listening with an instructor (we used one of these for our test). You might not have it in the right spot.

7. Questions about Seton Versant RN Residency in Austin

   chyna016 replied to miami1981's topic in Texas

   It is open now, you might have just been a little to early. I would try a different browser if you still can not get into the application.

   We submit a wish list, and you can rank what is most important to you such as, specific hospital, location or type of hospital. I have gotten my first choice for every rotation but one so far. For senior practicum we can make a pretty extensive lis...

9. Ebooks

   chyna016 replied to BBB<3's topic in General Students

   I tried the ebook using pageburst for one class on the recommendation of the professor, and I HATED it. The search function sounded great, but it would often give me to many results, and I would have to wade through them all to find what I really ne...

13. Favorite things you bought during RN school to help your studies?

    chyna016 replied to northmississippi's topic in General Students

    They both have merits. The iPad has that app that you can use to take notes right on the powerpoint slides, and it is small and light, but my apple only classmates run into problems with online content not being supported sometimes, and have to do s...

14. What other books do you use

    chyna016 replied to Kimynurse's topic in General Students

    I tried a lot of study guides, but the only ones I ever really used are Med Surg Success and the Saunders NCLEX review. I really liked Med Surg Success because it has rationales for the correct and incorrect answers.

15. Where to find Accelerated BSN with good clinicals

    chyna016 replied to Kisskaos's topic in General Students

    They all have the classes you are talking about, they have just given them different names. Maternal nursing at my school is called "Nursing Care of the Childbearing Family" and Med Surg is "Adult and Elder Nursing Care". The least expensive school...
