Hi I'm a traveling RN origionally from Northeastern Nevada and need to say that there are alot of nice smaller hospitals in towns other than LV and Reno that have alot to offer and it costs much much less to live in these areas. Pay is good at most of them also. Look into Northeastern Nevada Regional Hospital (NNRH) in Elko, Nv or some of the other smaller towns like Fallon, Ely, etc. You might be suprised what you find. NNRH is a brand new hospital (2002 if I remember right) that offers good wages depending on experience $20.oo new grads-$30's more experienced nurses. and you can get a nice house in town or go over the hill and get a house on acerage for great prices!!

Thanks for the good wishes everyone.

I just hope I can hold up with working full time and being a mother to my two little ones.

I plan on only working full time for the first semester, than getting a job part-time for the rest of the program. We'll see how it goes...

Woogy, as far a Pharm... I heard it was difficult online as well. Unfortunitly I live so far from the Charleston Campus it is really impossible to go there for yet another course. I have already taken Math 100B which should help me with my calculations, and I also bought a Palm Pilot with 3 different Rx guides so hopefully they will help some. I will keep my fingers crossed!

Good luck to you on the Spring program. Keep in mind that BIOL 224 will now be worth 10 points for Spring. That ought to help you out. Also, if you're not already registered take McGilloway for Micro. She is so easy. I took it along with BIOL 223 and was 5 points away from an A- grrrr but anyway she is great, I had a blast in her class. I wish you the best of luck.

Kristin,
Thanks! As far as micro, funny thing is that I had McGilloway for lec and lab but was waiting for Pantle to be avail. I got into his lab a few days ago and was able to pick up someones drop in his lec. I have heard for many years that he is the one to take. I would drive to Mesquite to take pharm in class vs. online. Just my 2 cents though. Pharm was HARD!!! I can't imagine taking it online! And it isnt just about calcs. Its about all the different meds and classifications. I found calcs were more important with lab, at least that is where i was tested. Luckily I got 10/10, and I didn't even know until right before lab that "it" was the test of all tests. If you didn't pass, one more shot and that was it. Funny thing is that me and another classmate were at odds with each other about how to study during the 15 mins. they allowed us before the test. She counteracted my advice (I know everyone learns a different way) and failed.
I imagine that most are also getting the 10 points for APII. I am NOT wanting to miss out on Spring semester. I will be devistated if that is the case.
Keep in touch with everything you go through. I would be excited to see how it goes. I know a lot can change in 3 years since I was in.

I will keep you updated!
