   azngurl6189- Do you mind sharing your background and stats?

2. What can a new grad do as a volunteer in a hospital

   wannabe81 replied to MidLifeRN2012's topic in General Nursing

   Generally you cannot be involved in actual patient care beyond transport, getting water/blankets/etc, and that sort of thing as a volunteer for insurance reasons. Even with my EMT and phlebotomy certifications, I am not allowed to act in any capacity...

   I post all of my due dates to my email's calendar, 5hen sync that with my phone's calendar. I set my reminders for however far ahead of time I want to be reminded, and my phone alerts me plus I receive an email. There are also planner apps that will ...

4. How do you like your job?

   wannabe81 replied to Queen2u's topic in Public/Community

   Try looking under state employment as well. For some reason, at our county health depts, most work for the state rather than the county (budget reasons maybe). This is MD but it may be the same in TX.

5. EMT/EMS to Registered Nursing

   wannabe81 replied to jaydeecruz's topic in Pre-Nursing

   There is no more basic, it's just EMT. Intermediate is now Advanced (AEMT)

6. Anatomy and Physiology Online

   wannabe81 replied to bkburgos1326's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I never said anything about pre-meds. I've never looked at those threads so I don't know what those people talk about. Some schools do discriminate against cc's, and some don't. Some won't accept online classes, some will.

7. Anatomy and Physiology Online

   wannabe81 replied to bkburgos1326's topic in Pre-Nursing

   There are hybrid nursing programs. I, too, have a hard time staying focused in lecture. I usually end up reading the material on my own and using lecture time to work on my assignments.

8. Anatomy and Physiology Online

   wannabe81 replied to bkburgos1326's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Good thing I'm not selling it just stating facts. Google is your friend, and if you need help getting started on your quest to enlightenment, search threads on student doctor and physician assistant forum.

9. Anatomy and Physiology Online

   wannabe81 replied to bkburgos1326's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I know of quite a few PA, vet, and PT. schools that accept online prereqs (including science courses)

10. What does R/O "really" means?

    wannabe81 replied to nelge16v's topic in Student Assist

    From what I understand, R/O is usually part of the plan, not the findings. So, in this case, the doc would like to rule out CVA and OSA

11. Nutrition Class

    wannabe81 replied to homesteader's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I've always seen them as being interchangeable. If in doubt, see what the syllabus or course description says (for example, for science majors, for prehealth majors, etc)

12. book to keep: physio or micro?

    wannabe81 replied to kdmf12's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I would find them both cheaper and buy them both, and then sell them both when I am done because I hardly crack open a textbook after I am done with the class. Look at cheapbooks.com to find the lowest price for your books.

13. Salisbury Accelerated BSN Applicants for 2014

    wannabe81 replied to shorew2013's topic in Maryland

    I am guessing that since it was a double major with a social science, it was easier and shorter, if not required, to do the BA option rather than the BS (I've never heard of a BS in Sociology). As for me, I don't think I'll be pursuing the CNA option...

14. Anatomy and Physiology Online

    wannabe81 replied to bkburgos1326's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I took it through Mayville State University. they mail you the specimens for dissection (rats, eyeballs, etc). It was a pretty neat course. I have been looking for an online biochem course and have noticed that quite a few schools offer A&P w/lab...
