1. College of Lake County Nursing Spring 2015

   Rebekah1882 replied to Rebekah1882's topic in School Programs

   I second what Regular Guy said. Most of the NLN questions come straight out of that book. When you do the practice tests, do the ones in writing because if you test at the Grayslake campus it is all pencil and paper and be sure to time yourself to ge...

   Rebekah1882 posted a topic in School Programs

   Just throwing this up on the board to see if anyone from CLC who will be starting the nursing program in January 2015 visits these forums! I troll them frequently and would like to get to know some classmates before the semester starts. I know a few ...

8. NY Med (TV Show)

   Rebekah1882 posted a topic in General Nursing

   Has anyone watched NY Med? What did you think? I am between classes right now and I was thinking of starting a new series on Hulu and ran across this show. My break is short so I don't want to commit to something that ends up being a bomb. I have ...

9. What can you tolerate the least?

   Rebekah1882 replied to Infofreak411's topic in General Nursing

   Ok. I am just in my CNA cert part of my nursing school and I already know my second least favorite: oral care. I sorta of already expected it so my solution is to use only my peripheral vision for certain tasks. Like taking out dentures. I need just ...

10. cna + drug testing

    Rebekah1882 replied to Jashawn2011's topic in CNA/MA

    We were told (and it is in our text) that drug use is grounds for losing your license. When asked if one positive screen proves abuse the instructor said "No. However it shows you committed a crime by using an illegal substance." Take that for what i...

11. Can my nursing school be informed if I fail a pre-employment drug screen for job?

    Rebekah1882 replied to anonymous1187's topic in General Students

    Wow. My program drug tests at orientation and you are dropped if you fail. There was a surprise test before clinicals and the chance of random tests throughout clinical or of you had an accident. I can't believe you have not been tested yet.

12. How old were you when you started nursing school?

    Rebekah1882 replied to Joe V's topic in General Students

    I started taking prereqs at the tail end of 29. Began my medical imaging program at 31. Had a change of heart almost a year in and changed to nursing. I'll finish a few more prereqs and start Jan 2015. I'll graduate at 35. I'll go on for my BSN but t...

    Rebekah1882 replied to msygrnbw's topic in New Nurse

    I recommend Nurseeyeroll.com. It is an excellent blog with tips for nursing students and time management strategies/reassurance for new nurses. I am just a student now but read the nursey things to calm my mind.

14. Ultimate Nursing Bag

    Rebekah1882 replied to avaloncar's topic in Uniform/Gear

    I am also wondering why nursing bags are so large? What do you carry to and from work?

15. Made the leap from Rad Tech program to Nursing!!!

    Rebekah1882 replied to Rebekah1882's topic in Career Support

    I definitely will. And it seems unbelievable but apparently they still reimburse your tuition fees if you bridge from ADN to BSN. I am hoping to tech there if I can while I am in school.
