1. Straighter Line Experiences

   t3mama replied to JenFutureRN14's topic in Western Governors

   I have taken quite a few classes with them, but I knew the program of my choice (WGU) accepted them. You should definitely research to make sure they will be accepted wherever you plan on attending and that would avoid any less than positive experien...

2. SLC prelicensure Jan '19 cohort

   t3mama replied to wannabebsn's topic in Western Governors

   I am planning on applying to the SLC program soon!! I have two classes I need to finish and take the TEAS. How was the application process for you? If you don't mind sharing, what were your stats at application (teas score, etc)? I've worked as a CNA...

3. HIPPA violation if the patient isn't in your facility?

   t3mama replied to MoonlightRose's topic in HIPAA

   Your husband told your ex-friend who is a nurse that you were pregnant, but your earlier post said she outed you to your husband as if he didn't know already? It seems pretty confusing, and you do seem petty. She is just a bad friend, not an unprofes...

4. Good nursing schools?

   t3mama replied to Yellowdaisy123's topic in Idaho

   Western Governors University! Many people on AN have gone there and quite a few have been able to finish in one term so less than $5000. It is a well respected school here in Utah, so I'd assume the same over there in ID.

5. Online RN progam

   t3mama replied to SummerChapman's topic in Online Learning

   What part of Texas are you in? Have you looked into WGU?

6. Already in, or have completed the pre-licensure program

   t3mama posted a topic in Western Governors

   I'm wondering if anyone in the pre-licensure program at WGU, or has recently completed it, cares to share their thoughts on the program? I've been working on finishing all the pre-requisites to apply early next year. I live in UT, and the pass rate f...

7. Video RN screaming, dragged into police car d/t refused blood draw on unconscious patient!

   t3mama replied to SummitRN's topic in General Nursing

   ^^^I'd love a source too. I actually live where the accident happened and work at the hospital the patient was taken to. I drive through where the accident happened almost everyday if I leave the valley I live in. The chase started at a gas station i...

8. Video RN screaming, dragged into police car d/t refused blood draw on unconscious patient!

   t3mama replied to SummitRN's topic in General Nursing

   This whole story is absolutely baffling to me. I work at this hospital but actually work in the city where the accident the victim was involved in occurred (which is an hour away), and had to drive around the accident on my way to work. There is vide...

9. Stubborn CNA in ICU

   t3mama replied to AnnoyedNurse's topic in General Nursing

   How full is your 18-bed unit normally? I think what would be best for your patients is not sharing one CNA with 17 other patients, that seems crazy to me! At my facility, a CNA on an ICU get 2-3 patients max.

10. Lowest-cost online science pre-reqs?

    t3mama replied to blondielocks's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I know this isn't the newest post, but was hoping you might be able to tell me how your micro class at Clovis went? I'm registered for the summer course with Hughes and it's only 8 weeks. I've been trying to read through the text before class begins ...

11. WGU / Straighterline advice?

    t3mama replied to darbyspinx's topic in Western Governors

    My co-worker is currently in the WGU program and she took a few straighterline courses (not sure which ones, but I know statistics was not one of them), I asked her about the statistics course and she said I should take it through WGU. That's what I'...

12. Young mom of 3 considering CNA

    t3mama replied to SAHMX3's topic in CNA/MA

    I am also a mother of three babies under three and a CNA! I don't live in GA though, but my state has a similar cost of living as far as I know. My CNA training wasn't very long or expensive, and I was able to find two desirable jobs right after I fi...

13. Obtaining nursing prerequisites while in highschool?

    t3mama replied to Kaitlyn.w's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I think it is great that you are so ambitious, and I don't think you are rushing anything. I'm 25 and starting nursing school this year and feel older, even though I know I'm not, but I wasn't sure if nursing was 100% for me in high school. Knowing w...

14. Prerequestisites -biology and Biochemistry

    t3mama replied to studynurti's topic in Online Learning

    I was going to say NMJC too, or Clovis Community College. Tuition at both of these colleges is incredibly affordable and I wish I would have known about these options years ago!

15. cna worth it?

    t3mama replied to leslyi's topic in Pre-Nursing

    The CNA requirement for most nursing schools is designed to "weed out" applicants. Many times, people become a CNA because they want to become a nurse, but once they get to the clinical portion of the CNA course they realize it isn't for them. I thin...
