1. putting down the books?

   miztermurse posted a topic in General Students

   Hello all, I have been in the pre-nursing program at my school for two years now. With work and family it has made it tough for me to go to school full-time, which is why my pre-req and co-req classes have taken me so long to complete. I will be appl...

2. heartless DON or reality check?

   miztermurse replied to sarafina's topic in General Nursing

   Yeah the DON was way out of line. No exaggeration, Ive had run-ins with drill sergeants that had more heart. To think this person is in nursing is frightening.

3. Waiting for nursing school?

   miztermurse replied to amberp83's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I have a 7 year old son. We also are currently trying for our second child. There is nothing wrong with waiting if thats what you feel is best. It is tough to do with young children in the family. I will have all of my pre and co-reqs out of the way ...

4. A new CNA

   miztermurse replied to brykrandy's topic in CNA/MA

   I just took my CNA state exam today. The skills were actually simple. Male peri-care, clearing the obstructed airway, partial bed bath, handwashing, pulse, respirations, and blood pressure. The testers literally walked us through each one but I think...

   miztermurse replied to Meesterjojo's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm taking college algebra and applying for the core program this spring. I'm a little worried about taking an 8 week course in college algebra. I'm math dumb, there is no easy way to put it.

7. First semester done- 4.0 cumulative!

   miztermurse replied to Meesterjojo's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Congratulations on your success. I found taking A&P the first semester would be a good gauge of my interest of the science of the human body and its relation to nursing. I really enjoyed it. If you liked A&P1 then you will love A&P 2 when...

8. Nursing shortage?

   miztermurse replied to wishinguponastarLPN's topic in Kentucky

   I am still an ADN student in Covington, KY and the nursing shortage, ive been told is "not as drastic." Northern Kentucky/Covington area is littered with hospitals and LTC facilities. Many will only hire a BSN though. Do not give up, settle for less ...

   I have heard of Brown Mackie College. I attend Gateway Community and Technical College in Edgewood, Kentucky. One of my professors said that they are VERY expensive but they are not an accredited school (credits will not transfer to a major universit...

10. Poll: As a male in Nursing school, my goal/desire is to work in this area....

    miztermurse replied to Thunderwolf's topic in Male Students

    I did a job shadow with a male nurse in an operating room. I got to see all kinds of good stuff in there. As a pre-nursing student with no major nursing experience yet, i have to say thats where i would like to be.
