    I use a SONY ICD-P320. I don't think it much matters though...most of them have around the same quality. I bought this one (around $70 I believe) because I could connect it to my laptop, save the...

  3. Bridgeport Hospital School of Nursing anyone??

    Melcia060 replied to Melcia060's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Our first day, we were all scared to death!! The instructors ease you in the first couple days. The Level 1 teachers are really good, esp the Lab instructors. You'll figure out real quick who you can...

  4. Bridgeport Hospital School of Nursing anyone??

    Melcia060 replied to Melcia060's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Last year the school only had 22 people interested in the accelerated program (they say they "require a B average" to get in, but I know of a few B- students who got in last year)...I think they were...

    Melcia060 replied to Melcia060's topic in General Students

    Hey, Yes, I am in my first clinical. We started clinical the very first week of school. This is the first year that my school is putting first semester students on the oncology floor. I'm not sure...

    Melcia060 replied to Melcia060's topic in General Students

    Hey everyone, I just want to say a BIG thanks to everyone who replied to my post . I am going to stick it out and do my best. But it really comes down to whether I pass clinical or not if I will...

  10. LPN or RN?

    Melcia060 replied to new_mom2005's topic in General Nursing

    Kim, It depends on where you live and the hospitals around you whether you can work in L&D. I know around here some nurses (LPNs and very experienced PCTs) manage to get into L&D. However,...

  11. Does this sound like a good orientation?

    Melcia060 replied to Megsd's topic in General Nursing

    Meghan, You weren't insulting. I think the majority of us understood what you meant. As for the deal, I think it's pretty good. I am starting a hospital program in 9 days and we were offered the...

    Melcia060 replied to LanaBanana's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I can't wait... !! LOL. I don't know if I'm more excited or terrified. I've heard some many horror stories about my school being so hard. Then again, I heard the same stories about A&P and I...

    Melcia060 replied to LanaBanana's topic in Online Distance Learning

    What is this "don't crack a book" thing you speak of? LOL!! My RN program has about 50 pages of reading and 2 huge math packets that have to be done BEFORE school even starts!! I can't wait to see how...

  15. Edukan A&P2 summer session 3!!!

    Melcia060 replied to LanaBanana's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Lana, I thought it was by far the easiest test. Study the review questions at the end...probably 7 or 8 of them came from there on my exam. I thought most of it was more general knowledge stuff,...

  16. Edukan A&P2 summer session 3!!!

    Melcia060 replied to LanaBanana's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Hey girls, How's everyone doing? I finished unit 8 last night. I think (assuming I get 30/30 on discussion and homework) that I will end with a 94% :) . Better than A&PI...ended that w/ a B...

  17. Transfer of Edukann A&P Credit

    Melcia060 replied to MNRN22's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Dave, I took A&PII w/ Edukan. The Director of my nursing school said that it doesn't matter where the classes were taken as long as the school was accredited. Since all of the schools w/ Edukan...

  18. Edukan A&P2 summer session 3!!!

    Melcia060 replied to LanaBanana's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Sheri Ann, I thought that was the hardest test yet. I somehow got an 84, which was a lot lower than I thought. I studied more for this unit because it seemed more complex to me and I did worse than...

    Melcia060 replied to LanaBanana's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Lana, Oh boy, looks like that crazy girl in the class who didn't like your "big words" wrote a nice ear-ful back to you!!! She just wants to let you know that she'll "do FINE" by herself. LOL, looks...

  20. Edukan A&P2 summer session 3!!!

    Melcia060 replied to LanaBanana's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Hey Lana, Oh yeah...I read that post before I came to this website. The other post she was referring to was mine (you and I had the only posts up at that point). I wrote a nice little message back...

    Melcia060 replied to LanaBanana's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Hey girls, My schedule has been a little crazy also w/ school, work, and all the silly little things I have to do before RN school starts in Sept. Right now I have a 96 average, but that will...

  22. Need your advice...BSN vs. BS????

    Melcia060 posted a topic in Nursing Career

    To make a long story short, I'm starting RN school this fall w/ an ultimate goal of being a NP. I've changed majors a few times so I'm less than a year away from getting my BS in Management. So...

  23. Need your advice...BSN vs. BS????

    Melcia060 replied to Melcia060's topic in Nursing Career

    sunnyjohn, I think I will try to take the BS Mangement courses while in the diploma program. I have a 3.8 GPA and I don't feel that I've had to work all that hard to get good grades. I'm completing...

  24. Edukan A&P2 summer session 3!!!

    Melcia060 replied to LanaBanana's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I agree w/ you, Lana. The stuff that I *think* is important isn't on the test, and the stuff that I just pass my eyes over is on there. I reread the end of chapter summaries 10 minutes before I log...

    Melcia060 replied to LanaBanana's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Hey everyone... How's the week going?? I took the unit 3 exam today...sorry, but I think they are getting harder. Either that or summer has got me outta study mode!! I'll blame summer....
