    I had 94 points when I applied and had all my general classes completed. For A&P II (and A&P I) I had Prof. Machinni and loved her!! She is Russian and has an accent but after a week or so you get used to it. I'd stay away from Prof. Liftig ...

  4. Edison College

    Overall I'm extremely satisfied with the program, the school and the professors. Every professor I've had, has been very helpful. If you need anything they are more than willing to help. There have been a few clashes between professors and students b...

  7. Do college credits expire?

    Depends on the school you are trying to get into. I've seen schools with a 5 year limit and 7 year limits. My college excepted credits that were 15 years old, so it all depends.
  8. CNA or Phelbotomy training

    I was a phlebotomist for many years. I think the experience I gained through the lab has benefited me in nursing school, however, I think going the CNA route would have been better in the long run. The benefits of Phlebotomy over CNA is you will alr...

  10. Anyone else's bookstore doing this???

    Our bookstore started doing this about a year ago. AND they even stopped letting you go in and get the books off the shelf yourself too. It's all roped off now and an employee has to go get the books for you. I just get the title and edition and auth...
  11. Is It a Bad Idea To Stay in a Bad Marriage Until School Ends?

    I'm in a very similar situation only my husband does not have a gambling problem or anything like that. I've been married 12 1/2 years and I have personally chosen to stick it out until I graduate and find a job so that I can support myself and my t...

  13. why are some students getting 2 patients?

    In our clinical we are supposed to only take one patient however there have been times where some of us took 2 for various reasons. 2 of the girls in my group kept picking patients that were too easy, and did not need a lot of care, so she started ma...
  14. My job has no meaning

    I'm currently a first year nursing student, but I was a phlebotomist for quite a number of years and I do agree that at times we "peons" were treated badly by nursing staff. However for the most part, I personally was treated much worse by the docs t...
  15. How useful is EMT-B cert as an RN?

    I had my EMT license years ago and let it expire, and regret it now. Not that it would have really meant anything as and RN, but you just never know what turns life will take. Maybe one day you might want get your paramedic license and work as a fli...
