1. STLCC Nursing 2015

   mae0218 replied to Nichelle_XOXO's topic in School Programs

   You can put your name on the waiting list at any of the campuses, but you have to stick with the same campus once in the nursing program. Sometimes people transfer from one campus to another, but you can sign up for flo valley classes if you're in at...

2. STLCC Nursing 2015

   mae0218 replied to Nichelle_XOXO's topic in School Programs

   From what I've heard, there were a lot of names on the list, but a lot of those people had moved, changed their minds, or whatever.

3. STLCC Nursing 2015

   mae0218 replied to Nichelle_XOXO's topic in School Programs

   No, it's in the lab at school. They teach the skills in there, and once you've mastered them, you can do the skills on a real patient in clinical. The lab is taken in the first and second semesters, worth one credit hour.

4. STLCC Nursing 2015

   mae0218 replied to Nichelle_XOXO's topic in School Programs

   With scheduling, in first semester, you have lecture two days a week (I think Monday is noon to 3pm and Thursday is sometime in the afternoon) with a skills lab on one of those days, along with one clinical day (Tuesday or Wednesday) that is 7am-1pm....

   I am at the FP campus and about to start third semester. So far, I have had a good experience and have had good luck with instructors and that sort of thing. i don't work, but that is a big issue with some students. Working full-time in first semeste...

6. Common Mistakes to Avoid?

   mae0218 replied to MeiDei's topic in General Students

   When you are doing a skills check off and you make a mistake, don't come off as defensive if an instructor points out your error. Ask questions if you need something clarified, but don't act defensive, and try to learn from what they are saying. Be ...

7. Monster of Pre-Requisites

   mae0218 replied to ctaylar's topic in Pre-Nursing

   It might seem like a lot, but it will go by quickly. I had to take two years of prereqs/coreqs before I started nursing school.

8. Nursing School Vs Med School, no comparison

   mae0218 replied to MedStudentNotRN's topic in ADN/BSN

   Cool story, bro.

9. Nursing diagnosis and using the medical diagnosis

   mae0218 posted a topic in General Students

   I know that you cannot use a medical diagnosis in the r/t part of a nursing diagnosis, but is it generally okay to use the medical diagnosis if you say "secondary to"? For example, is it a valid nursing diagnosis to say something like, "Risk for inju...

10. one side love problem between student nurse and doctor

    mae0218 replied to chinglee's topic in General Students

    This is really creepy. I wouldn't like knowing that my nurse was a nurse only because of something like this.

11. Cheaters.... What is our responsibility?

    mae0218 replied to PlayaChickRN's topic in General Students

    If they are cheaters, then they're not going to pass the NCLEX, assuming they graduate from nursing school, which I doubt. At my school, when you take a test in the nursing program, they treat you like you're taking the NCLEX (no jackets, no shirts w...

12. Best Shoes?

    mae0218 replied to Katelyn38841's topic in Uniform/Gear

    I'm just starting school, but I ordered Crocs Chelsea work shoes from 6pm.com. They are very comfortable and lightweight. They are made of leather and are non-slip. The great thing is that they were only $28.

13. Starting clinicals in ADN program?

    mae0218 posted a topic in General Students

    I'm curious as to when the average ADN program starts their clinicals. A few weeks in? No syllabus yet, and I can't recall them telling us at the orientation. My program starts after MLK day. I'm just wondering what everyone else did.

14. Four years to earn an ADN :/

    mae0218 replied to mdiada's topic in General Students

    I think it will be worth it. It's great that you have delayed taking out loans. Also, I'm about to start an ADN program, and most of the people at my school will have been there 3-4 years by the time they finish.. It often takes a couple of years to ...

15. Wind chill and outdoor recess

    mae0218 replied to scrubsrn24's topic in School

    I live in the St. Louis, MO area. My kids' school had a policy that it had to be above 20 for outdoor recess. They changed it to 32 because some kids don't show up with a coat. I would say it should depend on how it feels and the windchill. There was...
