I agree, I always say thank you after the end of my shift. I also make sure that I thank the CNA's for all their wisdom during the day. It is important to remember that respect is important and really makes people feel better!
That is a fantastic letter. You are so blessed to have such an optimist outlook and a wonderful son to share that with. You are the true valitorian of life!!
I got in with a score in the mid fifties. When the topic came up our first semester the lowest score was 52 but take that with a grain of salt. Good luck and apply, you never know what will happen.
Thank you so very much! As you can tell I am suffering from a huge lack of sleep by reading my first post. I am in my first month of clinicals and I am feeling so out of sorts. I will check a med surg book that I got at a yard sale and see if it i...
I was trying (ie struggling) with my Functional Health Patterns and I wanted a book or quick reference that allowed me to get an idea of what a high CBC values or BUN or Creatinine would mean in the long run to the patient. I can figure out what the...
I started this clinicals and need help with the lab results. I was wondering if anyone had a book that might tell me not only what the norms are but what it might mean if the results were elevated or low. I am really struggling on what each out of ...
Your welcome. I graduated for Arizona State back in 1994 so I had to retake all the classes. It took me about eighteen months. It wasn't too bad but I was a little miffed about taking some of them. I am done with all my pre reqs so I only have to...

I thought that A&P was difficult only because of all of the memorization. My teacher also marked any answer wrong if it was mis-spelled and I am a terrible speller so it made it so very hard. I got an A and I took it over the summer but I spent...
This was a tough one for me too! My local accelerated BSN program was 3 semesters at 7800.00 per semester. My local community college is 580.00 for 5 semesters. I have five kids and don't work(so no loss of income) and I couldn't decide what to do...
I live outside of Greensboro NC. I really want to work nights weekends in a hospital, I don't want to work at a LTC facility. I also thought doing an externship would be the best bet for me. Thanks for all the kind words and encouragement. I have a f...
Thanks very much for your replies! I honestly didn't think of the money issue because I am a stay at home and don't make money now, but I certainly will be paying for more now than I have in the past. I know fitting in the physical and such is hard...
I was wondering if you guys thought there were any negatives in being accepted into the Spring start over the Fall start? I was thinking that by the time we graduate some of the new grad programs are already full at the hospital or the externships a...
