1. Assesing damaged knee (on self)

   LiatrisAspera replied to LiatrisAspera's topic in General Students

   Thanks all. I somehow didn't even think of it as something as a big no no to post this question, but it makes complete sense to me now that it is a request for medical advice, which cannot be done. This closes this discussion thread. Thanks.

2. Diseases nurses/ nursing students should know

   LiatrisAspera replied to natmanzo's topic in General Students

   Everything. It seems that we need to know a little or a lot about almost everything. The previous comments, however, note some of the big ones. My advice before starting the nursing classes: master your patho, solidify your anat/phys. Also get in t...

3. NOTES...how do you take yours?

   LiatrisAspera replied to jkblevins's topic in General Students

   I strongly prefer to write notes by hand, but my hand now gets tired and cramps up. So I'm starting to take my notes out of the classroom by typing them directly as questions on Qulizlet so I can create study questions at the same time. I class, tho...

4. Concept Map: Interactions for pt w/trach, has rhonchi

   LiatrisAspera posted a topic in Student Assist

   My instructor didn't care for a concept map I turned in, so I'm trying to spend more time on it just for my own education. I'm unsure of the interventions for the priority problem of a pt with a trach who has a nasty case of rhonchi, which seems pres...

5. Assesing damaged knee (on self)

   LiatrisAspera replied to LiatrisAspera's topic in General Students

   Thanks for your feedback, KatieMI. I have always felt like I cannot appropriately assess myself; leaving my other patella out of place for 6 months before seeking care is a perfect example. I think I will make an appointment tomorrow and cancel it ...

6. Assesing damaged knee (on self)

   LiatrisAspera replied to LiatrisAspera's topic in General Students

   Good point, enuf_already. I think I will be going in, but I'm always wanting to avoid my dr if/when possible. I think that's a sign of needing a new dr. haha. I appreciate your input.

7. Assesing damaged knee (on self)

   LiatrisAspera posted a topic in General Students

   If you hear a loud "pop" in your knee when trying to stand up from sitting on ground, how many days of pain and inflammation would you endure before going to your PCP? Any certain things you would try (other than RICE) before making an appointment?

8. Brookline College Accelerated Nursing Program

   LiatrisAspera replied to Inspiration.'s topic in Arizona

   I am currently a student there. I find it a very challenging program, but think the instructors are very good. I have not ever regretting choosing it. Of course it is not perfect, but no other school is, either.

   Congratulations! It is nice to hear there are not always a lot of SATA, since it seems those would be the trickiest.

11. Brookline College Accelerated Nursing Program

    LiatrisAspera replied to Inspiration.'s topic in Arizona

    AZBlueBell...I double checked this with the Dean of Nursing and Admissions office, and they both said the credits will transfer. I'm just going to go ahead and get it at Brookline, though, because I truly value what I get for the money. To think I ...

12. Brookline College Accelerated Nursing Program

    LiatrisAspera replied to Inspiration.'s topic in Arizona

    Actually, Brookline college IS nationally accredited. Students who want to attend graduate programs after graduation, as I do, find little difficulty getting in when they graduate from nationally accredited schools, especially those with programmatic...

    LiatrisAspera replied to Maycation's topic in Arizona

    Regarding Brookline College, they told me the average student takes five or six semesters to graduate and pays around $50,000 in tuition, based on transfer credit. Students who want to attend graduate programs after graduation, as I do, find little d...

    LiatrisAspera replied to Maycation's topic in Arizona

    I was reading though some of the posts and saw there were questions about Brookline College. Since I am a student there, I'll attempt answer them. Brookline is nationally accredited. Regarding expense, it depends on how you look at it. The program ...
