   Community Colleges have long waiting lists as a weeding out system and a very small percentage of students ever make it to the top.. They make students take Anatomy and physiology for the medical professions and various other prerequisites, usually ...

2. Has anyone had a pt's family member take pictures of you during care?

   CareFully replied to TonyaM73's topic in Relations

   Some of my daughter's newborn pictures have nurses in them, but not during the performance of procedures and they seemed okay with it at the time. I agree that it wouldn't be a HIPAA violation because it wasn't taken by a healthcare worker. It is a b...

3. A Nursing Student Vents

   CareFully replied to CareFully's topic in General Students

   Well, first of all, I do not care if you believe me. The program that I am in has a long waiting list, and numerous prerequisite classes that tend to weed out those who do not have nearly perfect GPAs and excellent study habits. Chances are that all ...

4. A Nursing Student Vents

   CareFully replied to CareFully's topic in General Students

   Honestly, this comment was rather uncalled for. Expecting to be taught what one is going to tested on is hardly too much to ask. I have taken a great many college courses in my lifetime, and in any other program it would be expected that the material...

5. Why are CNAs paid less than telemarketers?

   How exactly does it work? Do you need to be an LPN first? It looks to me like you just need to be half way through your clinicals to transfer to Excelsior. It certainly seems more efficient. Do you know what the CPNE will involve? Thank you for the a...

   1. I wish that Nursing school could be done at a slower pace, part-time so that we could actually devote time to memorizing the material rather than cramming it in. From what I can tell, the rule that we must complete the ADN in 3 years is that it ...

8. Ethical Issue- Is this child abuse? Do I need to report this?

   CareFully replied to Daria5363's topic in General Nursing

   I agree with the ex-cop on this one. What happened in the UK was hearsay. Furthermore, mother-in-law issues are hardly uncommon and spousal issues are also not rare. If you did not witness domestic violence in front of a child with your own eyes, the...

9. Is BSN harder than ASN?

   CareFully replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in ADN/BSN

   I would actually recommend a BSN program over an ADN if you have children and here is why: The BSN programs tend to break the courses up into smaller credit hour classes. For instance, you might have three 3-credit nursing classes one semester in a B...
