    Apple-Core replied to Apple-Core's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Thank you Persephone. I absolutely agree, and rationally I know that swooping in to "save the day" just enables her further. Sadly, that doesn't stop me being worried sick. Literally I am making...

    If you apply by May 31st (in a few days) and if you get accepted into the CEP program, you will be starting your university classes (online) in the Fall (August) of this year. You will receive...

    Who applied for Uni Fall 2018 & Spring 2019 Block 1?

    Apple-Core replied to Nurse4TLA's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Monday is Memorial Day, so the colleges will be closed, unfortunately. However, you could take the HESI on Tuesday, Wed, or Thur and still turn in your application by 5pm on the 31st to meet the...

    Apple-Core replied to Horseshoe's topic in General Nursing

    Could somebody kindly explain how Medicare works? Is it basically a medical insurance provided by the government that people can buy after they retire? Is it available to everybody or are there income...

    Arizona Opportunities

    Apple-Core replied to ArvinC EMT's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Of the two I prefer Gilbert, but obviously that is personal preference. We looked at homes in Chandler and I got irritated by the constant drone of the planes overhead. That may not be the case now,...

    Charles Cullen and Other Healthcare Serial Killers

    Apple-Core replied to Kooky Korky's topic in General Nursing

    The two that stand out to me because I'm British are Beverley Allitt (RN child killer) and Harold Shipman (doctor who killed, or is suspected of killing, over 250 people). Netflix has had a show...

    Arizona Opportunities

    Apple-Core replied to ArvinC EMT's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I prefer the west Valley personally. Great access for major travel, such as Mexico, California, and the north. Not a long drive to downtown. Good lakes for fishing, and good access to the more rural...

    Dismissal advice

    Apple-Core replied to yakkk's topic in General Students

    Although it sucks to hear, I have to agree with MeanMaryJean; It hurts to fail, especially by 1 measly point, but on the other hand that is a reflection of the overall performance, and not just the...

    Another New CEP Rubric?

    Apple-Core replied to 2BRN1998's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I haven't heard anything. I'm guessing that changes may only be minor ones - for example a small increase in GPA, perhaps? I did hear that the colleges are moving more and more towards CEP only (and...

    Hi Hoping somebody can advise me. This is not homework, these two incidents happened to me personally and as a student nurse, I am not 100% sure on what constitutes HIPPA violation and/or what is...

    Hesi score of 88.5, is this okay?

    Apple-Core replied to hlattin's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    Your best bet is to contact the school directly and enquire. I know where I applied, a competitive HESI was over 95%. No joke. Almost all my cohort scored between 95-100%. Not saying this to make you...

    Feeling incompetent in nursing school

    Apple-Core replied to btf4's topic in General Students

    In terms of clinical, hands-on skills - a BSN student and an ADN student learn EXACTLY the same thing. The BSN portion of the degree includes theory classes such as ethics, nursing history, and so on....

    NEW GRADS

    Apple-Core replied to ICCURN7's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Id say that all these should be covered in nursing school. However, what would *really* help, IMHO, is a class that covers all this stuff BEFORE nursing school starts - a prerequisite
