I have worked in a residential treatment facility for the past 10 months. I find that the majority of the kids are very nice and polite to nursing staff, they have had bad pasts that they are dealing with which is why there are with us. There are alw...

Hi! I took A&P1 several years ago- so it is not fresh in my memory. I've been reviewing it to help prepare for A&P2. For those of you that have taken both, do you feel there is content more needed from the first to do well in the second? Th...

Danskos are the only ones I've worn, but I can tell you that I do not come home with tired legs or achey back. If you ry Danskos, be sure to go and get properly fitted for them

Use the assisted lifting devices to save your back whenever possible. SARA lift, Maxi lift, etc..... Our school & hospital tell us this all the time, however once you are in the "real world" of nursing, who has time to mess around with the assist...

I wish I could let myself relax enough not to read. I tend to try and get a jump start on my next semester when I am in between semesters. Actually, studying is so much a part of my routine that when it comes time to take a break, I just don't know w...

How helpful is your clinical instructor? Mine, for this semester, has checked all of our charting and is great if we have questions; not intimidating at all. It's better to ask questions if you are unsure. Now for me, hopefully next semester I luck ...

So far so good. Last clinicals this weekend- finals in 2 weeks. Unless something really terrible happens during clinicals or I completely forget everything I learned so far- all will be good. Now, next semester I heard will be rough!!!!!! Best of luc...

Another thing to consider while waiting for clinicals to begin is to begin taking credit towards the 4 year degree. The RHSN program is set up with Kutztown University for the RN-BSN completion program- just a thought

I am a 2nd year student at RHSN, and it always takes that long to get in. They fill up the classes a year in advance. If you do opt to apply for the class they are starting, you will enter as a cohort and can only progress with your entire class- tak...

You may have to take a few prerequisite's before applying. Contact them and they will send you information on exactly what you need and about the school. I am in my 2nd year evening/weekend program. Most of us have children anywhere from baby all the...

I am from Montgomery & Berks county area's. I know that years ago the community college I attended had anywhere from a 1 year to 5 year wait list. I've heard of many others speak of being on a waitlist. I know I've seen others speak of a "lottery...

As far as I know most all of the programs are waitlisted. I go to a hospital based school that does not put anyone on waitlist. You apply and you get in for the following year- if not you have to reapply again the next. I know competition is high- so...

I had to get the Landau brand for school- I found the style I got fit good in the arm/chest area but huge over the waist. I looked like a bell in them. I am also a size 16. I had them tailored - 2 tops and 2 bottoms- $56. I can't wait till I have my...

I wish I had your uniform. Ours are solid white- which I just do not feel comfortable wearing ( especially during a certain time of the month )

I haven't had sociology or psychology in many years to give details, but you need to know how to effectively communicate with your patients. You need to have some understanding of different socioeconomic backrounds to be able to help most effectively...

I was at a funeral last week and the prayer card really fitted what I was feeling or may be feeling in the future as a first year nursing student- I think it can be inspirational to others as well: Don't Quit When things go wrong as they sometimes wi...

will be 36 in a couple of months and beginning first semester of Nursing next week

You're welcome- I'm glad I was able to share it. Damamma- I did get your email- I am so glad this was able to help- if only a little. I've been where you are right now- hang in there

Me too!!! Next week is OSHA review (required at beginning of each new school year) and ATI testing- following week classes begin. I am excited as well as nervous about clinicals

I currently attend thier nursing program. I don't know for sure about pay- I believe I've heard somewhere around $23. They do participate in the loan forgiveness program. I have heard it is a good hospital to work at. Sorry I couldn't offer any first...

I just finished up the summer session - best advice I can give is flash cards- they helped tremendously with all the information there is to remember. Best of luck to you

Congrats to all of us survivors of Micro!!!!! Personally, I didn't like the class at all- half my class is failing. I have my lecture final tonight- hopefully I get an A, but it's nice to know that since all my other test scores were good that I do...

WOW! No way would I want to take them all together- I really think I'd go crazy. I would definately see if you can get something changed around or possibly add a semester to cut that load in half. I have found A&P and micro to be very time consum...

Fortunately, my A&P clsses were mostly fill in the blank, multiple choice and matching. Like others have said, the major sciences are tough to take in the summer ( I am in Micro right now). I agree with some of the above responses; make flash car...

I don't sit down & study for hours at a time. My time does vary with my focus at the time. Sometimes I can study for long periods, but I mostly probably do 20-30 min, do house work, play with kids, or whatever, and then sit back down to study aga...
