I am a nurse student right now. I am thinking about getting into geriactrics when I am out of school and I'd like to hear the pros and cons of geriactrics. All my family want me to go into it but lets face it what do they know...I want nurses who are...

Now that sounds like a good plan! I am glad you have the luxury of time on your hands. I know how much daycare can cost too! That is the reason why I had to stay home and go to Rio because we could not afford daycare for a newborn and a toddler but n...

My hats off to you if you plan on duing 12credits and stay at home with all your kids. When I started off with RIO I started with nine credits and I had a four month and a two year old. I stayed home the entire time with them and it was very difficul...

Is the nursing program at chandler/gilbert CC held at the pecos or williamsfield campus?

Been to Hawaii twice (big island & Oahu). My brother goes to the unversity of Hawaii and is a good source of information about Oahu etc. Anyhow, I was considering living there with my family and working there as a nurse after I get out of school....

I've taken BIO156, BIO201, BIO205, PSY101, HCC145, and my humanity classes at RIO. BIO156 is helpful for those of us who have not done a bio class at all or in many years. The key things I think they want you to get out of bio156 that is helpful in b...

If you lived in Japan then Hawaii cost of housing should not scare you to much. It is the biggest shock to mainlanders because they are use to reasonable housing prices, expect for New York and Califorina people.:) My friend lived in Japan and it was...

You may apply for the nursing program even when you are in your last semester of your preqs. If you just have a couple of preqs left they let you apply early....it helps because it gets you on the list a little sooner. They date/time stamp it. You ha...

Thank you everyone for all your information. I looked into all those places and so far Banner and the department of health through kidscare is the cheapest.:) I wish this was for the RN program but I am still three preqs from the RN program. This is ...

Thank you for all the replies. I am not to surprised to hear that there is alot of abuse to the elderly. It is one of the things I have to consider if I can handle jerky people who will do that. Do you think it is just because they are burned out or ...

I read your post BiBikerRN on the other thread about the big island. It got me interested. I've been there once before many years ago (15yrs) and I stayed in Hilo for a month. I did not like Hilo because back then it had some big time racisim against...

Wow thanks for the reply and you actually answered my questions! Thank you for the newspaper website too. Waimea is actually a place I was interested in because what I've seen it looks nice. I like the country look and not to into the jungle. So, I a...

Thanks for the help guys. I just wanted to let you know I passed. My teacher was nice enough to let us know that our practice quiz questions would be on the test and that helped alot. I was surprised she picked some really easy essay questions though...

Just curious what everyone has to say about what is the biggest misconception that everyone has about Hawaii??

Thanks for the info! Its all what I've pretty much heard from my brother who lives there, from my books, and others online. When I was in Hawaii I was loving the geography of it all but at least my eyes where not shut to all the racial things going o...

So, what is the joke about the book exactly? Whats the core of it you think is totally unrealistic? Whats the biggest misconception you think everyone has about Hawaii?
