I am a pre-nursing student at WKCTCS (Paducah) and noticed the KY forum seems overrun with people in Lexington-Louisville area. If you are a current or former student at the college or just a Paducah nurse in general give a shout out. We newbs need some good resources and some insider info on the local nursing scene.
I am a 32 year old male starting my nursing classes either spring or fall 2010 (may need the prereqs from fall to bankrupt a 10-year old B.A. GPA to get accepted). I am interested in ICU at either local hospital and eventually getting my CRNA.
At lourdes we have lost 3 nurses to CRNA school in the last year. Their are currently 3 of us that are getting classes together and apps together to apply to CRNA school. We do lots of open hearts. Currently we did as many open hearts as WBH did the last year. We have only 1 heart surgeon they have 3. We are gaining one this month, he is in town but hasnt started cutting yet. Will be glad to see you when you make your way through for rounds and yes we do hire new grads.
Wow there is so much stuff to turn in! I got most of my immunizations in Corbin Ky (my original hometown) so I don't even know where to get those records from! Maybe the health department? I know the records had to be sent down here for school.
Anyways, I can't wait for January! Being at orientation just made it seem official ya know? Everyone was really nice and I found out a few of my pre-req friends I hadn't talked to also got in.
DRA- I was all excited to meet you but when I got to the conference I realized I have no way of knowing who you are! LOL. I guess with all the excitment I forgot to ask!
Hello Paducah Nurses (and Nursing Students);
I am not actually a nursing student yet but I am applying to Murray's BSN program starting spring semester. I was previously pursuing a future in Pharmacy when I realized that Nursing is a better fit for me. Hopefully see myself in a paducah ICU one of these days.

what kind of tests can I expect in A&P 1? true/false, fill in the blank, matching, etc. ? i took the first chapter practice quiz online 2 months after reading it without studying at all and missed 1 out of 20... is it this easy in the beginning? the quiz was T/F! i excell in all but essay tests, I retain information well including memorization, I just have a hard time explaining concepts on paper.

When I get to ICU I will be the one with rapt attention. I eventually want to be a CRNA so I will be living in ICU for 2-4 years while I finish my BSN and CRNA prereqs! I just hope Lourdes or Western Baptist have an opening when I graduate (i live in lone oak). does lourdes have a CVICU or CTICU?
