1. Can you have RN certification in more than one state?

   dgh1973 replied to HighNursingGoals's topic in Georgia

   I have been an RN in TX since 2003. We moved to Alabama this past year. I am going to do the endorsement licensing for Alabama. However, my question is, since I no longer have a TX residence, can I keep my license in TX? I would very much like to. Th...

   dgh1973 replied to highasthesky's topic in General Students

   If you mean you are going to be starting nursing school then I would suggest getting a fundamentals of nursing book. I would just read some of that and possibly get an NCLEX book and go through that. Otherwise, enjoy your time with your children whil...

4. Question about statistics

   dgh1973 replied to KristaB's topic in General Students

   Krista- If you were just dead set on taking an extra class online I would definitely recommend either nutrition or sociology. I took nutrition via a telecourse and it was awesome. I still have to take sociology and plan on taking that via distance ed...

5. Question about statistics

   dgh1973 replied to KristaB's topic in General Students

   My husband attends an online university and had to take Business Statistics I & II. I normally have very good math skills but I must admit I could barely help him with these classes. I read the material, re-read it and still could not make rhyme ...

8. Need to vent, my whole class is not having a very good day.

   dgh1973 replied to peaceful2100's topic in General Students

   Peaceful- You sound exactly like me two years ago. I mean it truly sounds like you could have been in the same exact program with me. My class and I suffered in much the same way. We were also expected to self educate ourselves! The instructors would...

9. What is the 2ND semester like?

   dgh1973 replied to ns3838's topic in General Students

   My particular program taught all skills first semester. Of course we had all the lecture/theory courses as well. We only had to do about three days worth of clinical in the first semester and only took one patient per student. The patients were prett...

10. Where are you Texas Students?

    dgh1973 replied to nrice's topic in General Students

    This is just a suggestion but have you ever thought about taking out a student loan. This would be the much cheaper route to go at a community college and it would take less time to pay back than a 4 year college. Most student loans only require you ...

    dgh1973 replied to nrice's topic in General Students

    Hi Shonda- I'm glad to hear you're having a pretty positive experience. I think I know what instructor you're talking about. Don't sweat them tearing yours or anyone elses careplans apart...that is really just part of the learning experience. The onl...

    dgh1973 replied to Whisper's topic in General Students

    Sorry I couldn't have been of more help. That careplan link is pretty good though. Have a good weekend.

13. What is the 2ND semester like?

    dgh1973 replied to ns3838's topic in General Students

    My 2nd semester in the ADN program was OB and Med/Surg. We learned all skills first semester so we were able to rotate through quite a few departments and assist or observe. Most people really loved the OB content, esp. labor and delivery. I really e...

14. Help

    dgh1973 replied to Whisper's topic in General Students

    Are you talking about a "careplan"? If so, there is a website called http://www.careplans.com this may be of some help to you. Other than that I would suggest going to your school library and checking out careplan books or typing in nursing careplans...
