So, I just got the results for my TEAS V exam. Are these good? I have a 4.0 and the only prerequisite I have left is anatomy, which I'm half done with. Adjusted Individual Total Score: 86.7% ...

I am a pre-nursing student at IUPUI (21-year-old male). I transferred in with 12 credits (4.0 GPA in all of them), and I consider myself to have good studying/testing habits. I have ~6 months of...

Thanks for the comments, guys. I'm definitely working on identifying triggers and staying away from them. My IBS is very mild compared to many others who have attacks daily. I have been looking...

I have suffered from Irritable Bowel Syndrome since I was very little (around maybe 7 years old or so). I am 20 now, 21 in September. I am starting at IUPUI for pre-nursing in the Fall, and hope...

Thanks for the encouragement, Lace! I wish you the best of luck too. Hopefully I can get some stress management techniques as well.

I have a tendency to get very depressed when I fail something big. There are two things that I am already deathly afraid will happen when I start: 1. Not getting into the nursing program 2....

So, I've just realized that there are virtually no LPN or ASN programs on the West side of Indianapolis or even in Central Indianapolis... I just don't get it. I don't want to take a CNA program...

I'm a 20-year-old guy from Indiana (close to Indianapolis) and I've dealt with depression/anxiety my whole life (as well as occasional IBS). I am very introverted, and have almost no friends. I...

So, I've finally decided that I am going to go to IUPUI for a BSN. I had been struggling to find a school of convenience and quickness, but I decided if I'm going to do this, I want to do it right!

I live in Hendricks County, IN. I have been trying to find a nursing school that is preferably CLOSE, and preferably a 2-year associate degree RN program. I'm at my wits' end, because I am...

So, I've completed 12 of my required credits for admission for my local nursing plan, and I got 4.0s in all of those classes. Now, I dropped 2 of the classes I was enrolled in for this semester...

So, I just figured out that all the associate nursing classes for Ivy Tech are held at Lawrence... and I live in Avon (Lawrence is too far).. The closest good nursing program is IUPUI, but the thing...

And that fact is even more understandable by those who work for free. However, that isn't the case with paid staff. They get compensation for the work they do. Volunteers do not.

Fetching water is a higher responsibility?

Then you're ignorant. :) That is your uninformed opinion.

So much for civility. If I were you, I would try thinking before saying things. Also, before you try putting words in peoples' mouths, I would suggest not. I never said that "rules that protect...

This is a good example of how little you know.

Are you sure you're not just sore that I'm saying that, at the end of the day, just because you passed a test, that doesn't mean you care about helping people any more than a non-licensed person? ...

Anyway, I came across an interesting situation the other day. I observed one of the nurses in the unit that I work at ask a volunteer if he would go into a patient room and press the "restart" button...

You are wrong.

You've essentially summed up my entire point I was trying to make. Do you really think that nurses are more likely to hand pills to a patient correctly than any other person with general common...

Before I reply, I just want it to be known that while I may not agree with the rules, I always respect and follow them. That said, I do believe that there are many aspects of healthcare and society...

I disagree. Also, you didn't specify what kind of tech. There are hundreds of different types. The point is, just because a task is out of someone's "scope of practice" doesn't always mean that they...

Now, while I understand that hospitals have a pecking order, and that usually, at least as I'd like to believe, that pecking order is usually more about protecting patients than protecting the...
