   ZombieRain replied to t_23:)'s topic in School Programs

   Hectic. Paperwork on paperwork. Outlines for 3 out of 5 classes for the trimester and what testing is going to be like. Hope we had a nice Monday, first A&P test on Wednesday, first Med-Math on Friday. I think there were two alternates there yest...

2. Religious Dilemma?

   ZombieRain replied to Avid reader's topic in Spirituality

   Ehhhhh our job is enhanced so much more when we engage emotionally with patients, but your fallback for an incorrect worldview is disdain and sarcasm. It all just boils down to I should empathize with the people you would empathize with. And I suspec...

3. Nursing is not for you if you don't have a burning passion for it?

   ZombieRain replied to .CJ.'s topic in General Students

   Her assertion you are not enthusiastic enough and always playing catch up is worth thinking about. Was there any lack of initiative on your part, a disinterest in that particular rotation, or is the subject matter a weak spot for you? Anybody you wor...

4. Religious Dilemma?

   ZombieRain replied to Avid reader's topic in Spirituality

   Getting into LPN school in a few days, so I have no real dog in the healthcare side of 'isms, but I wonder where the lines for me will be. Can I go ahead and prepare my statement? I am Catholic/Republican/white/a man. But I am also a nurse. I can off...

5. Instructor giving away test questions!

   ZombieRain replied to nursingforme2's topic in General Students

   Had a pre-calculus class in the last semester of an electronics engineering program from a technical college where both the teacher and we-the-students knew there was almost zero reason to have a pre-calculus class, the math was well beyond the scope...

   ZombieRain replied to WCSU1987's topic in Pre-Nursing

   6 independent universities in 2 different states with at least 2 different Boards of Regents and 2 different Boards of Nursing... are they offering LPN to ADN bridge, strictly ADN, RN to BSN bridge, accelerated BSN, 4-year BSN, do they allow transfer...

7. Anyone waiting on acceptance letter from tcat dickson nursing program for May 2017

   ZombieRain replied to t_23:)'s topic in School Programs

   I want to assume orientation was mandatory, but I don't know for sure. I'm getting the vibe the background check, drug screen and physical are for clinicals rather than TCAT itself. Tuition felt like the only actual mandatory part, and I don't suppos...

   Orientation yesterday. Anybody get a call? 40 people in the room, 35 for Practical Nursing, and the Power Point was geared towards the 5 people in other programs. Student services women kept reminding us the information she had up didn't apply to us....

9. AHA BLS Provider vs. AHA BLS for Healthcare Providers?

   ZombieRain replied to NurseOfTheLittlePeople's topic in General Nursing

   Quoting for truth. I've been BLS certified through the Red Cross for years, just recently re-certified, but the school I've applied to requires AHA. I've been going through the online portion of their training and it's a night and day difference. Ev...

10. Do you get Study Guides before midterms and finals ? my teacher doesnt believe in that 😫

    ZombieRain replied to mariawong's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I've read through the thread, but I'm confused... in the context of this conversation, what is a study guide? It sounds the question being asked is how much of exams, how many questions from exams, are being handed out by a professor. Is this a thing...

    ZombieRain replied to t_23:)'s topic in School Programs

    That's kind of why I was asking. By orientation there's the background check ($40), physical with all immunizations ($70 for the physical, gonna be $400 for my immunizations), and be prepared for the drug test ($30) and to purchase uniforms and supp...

    Thanks t! What info did you get? Just a paper saying you're an alternate, or a packet of stuff you need to do in case you're called?

13. Private ADN program

    ZombieRain replied to aclopez's topic in School Programs

    Is this the Bryant and Stratton ADN from your other thread? Their Licensed Practical Nursing program's tuition is $28,415. I've been accepted into Tennessee College of Applied Technology's LPN program... for $5,967, fully covered by state and federal...

14. Question about applying for nursing school

    ZombieRain replied to littleboyboo's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Each nursing school is going to spell out its own admissions policies, so definitely check the websites of the schools you plan on applying to. Many follow a formula of requiring classes A, B, and C to be completed BEFORE applying, but you can be acc...

15. Anyone else study prior to LPN program? If so which study books do you recommend?

    ZombieRain replied to Mysilver1's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    I'm reviewing math, anatomy, and physiology, but it's a review of classes I've taken before, a review of things I'm already familiar with. Studying ahead on anything? Nope. If I start looking at all the unfiltered information related to nursing and I...
