1. lpn citificate

   RedHeadRN2b replied to ashytashy's topic in General Nursing

   El Centro College in Dallas, TX does not have a wait list. That does NOT mean the entrance to the LVN/LPN program isn't competitive, because it is. When I say they don't have a waiting list I mean that the class selection process starts fresh every...

2. High Diastolic?? Help!

   RedHeadRN2b posted a topic in General Nursing

   I hope you all can give me a little info. I took my 40 y.o. husband in for a myelogram the other week and when they checked his BP before they released him, his diastolic was 110 (I don't remember the systolic). He shrugged it off saying he always go...

3. Cover letter w/ application or at interview?

   RedHeadRN2b replied to testikleez's topic in General Nursing

   Be sure to submit a cover letter with your resume whether you fax, snail mail, email or apply online!! Recently I spoke with a recruiter from a large hosptial here in the Dallas area that only accepts applications/resumes online and she said that add...

4. Feeling like a scapegoat, common in nursing??

   RedHeadRN2b replied to luvmy2angels's topic in General Nursing

   Oh that is just the saddest smiley face ever! {{{{{HUUUUUUGS}}}}}} to you luvmy2angels! :icon_hug: You obviously have the heart and soul of a nurse. It's tough to accept, especially when you are kind and honest yourself, that not everyone will treat...

5. Do you need a doctor's order?

   RedHeadRN2b replied to veegeern's topic in General Nursing

   No pun intended...right...?

6. anatomy & physiology online class

   RedHeadRN2b replied to bellatx06's topic in General Nursing

   The Dallas County Community College District offers A&P online and I've thought about taking it. HOWEVER, one thing that gives me pause is that I'd be missing out on the feedback from my fellow classmates. I'm positive that I could learn someth...

7. Thank you's - memorable ones you've received?

   RedHeadRN2b replied to Liddle Noodnik's topic in Relations

   Ok, I just have to share even though my most memorable "thank you" didn't have anything to do directly with the medical field. Who could forget the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Building on April 19th, 1995? Certainly not anyone who was living in ...

8. what nursing shoes r best?

   RedHeadRN2b replied to crzmomof3boys's topic in General Nursing

   I have a couple of (what I think are) bone spurs on the heel and ball of my foot. Those little boogers wear a hole straight through padding faster than a speeding bullet and they make wearing the more rigid support shoes like Dansko's impossible. T...

9. Now I'm not so sure

   RedHeadRN2b replied to fifi2323's topic in General Nursing

   I guess it depends on where you intend on going to school. In the Dallas Community College District, the LPN program does not have prereqs, but instead has "support" courses that they strongly recommend you take before applying to the program. Many o...

12. My 16-year-old wants a navel piercing

    RedHeadRN2b replied to Zee_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I can vouch for this one. I had my navel pierced about 3 years ago and no matter what I did it never seemed to heal - and I was FANATICAL about care and sanitary measures. It kept leaking a whitish fluid (not pus - white cells??) and stayed tender ...

13. Accelerated BSN - Do employers really care where you went?

    RedHeadRN2b replied to kittypepper028's topic in General Nursing

    The University of Phoenix has a BSN course that you can take online. This might work for you - not sure about what it costs though. http://www.universityofphoenix-online.com/Bachelor-Science-Nursing/

14. School project - PLEASE HELP!!

    RedHeadRN2b replied to RedHeadRN2b's topic in Student Assist

    I'm a little afraid of that, but am hoping that maybe there are a few retired nurses browsing the boards, or like the previous poster would know someone that would be willing to do it.

15. School project - PLEASE HELP!!

    RedHeadRN2b replied to RedHeadRN2b's topic in Student Assist

    That would be GREAT!!! This weekend (or even next weekend) certainly isn't too late! Thanks so much!
