Is it even possible for someone to get hired to work as a unit secretary, or something like it, without any experience? I am not someone who "knows someone", but I would love to get a job doing something like this while I wait to get admitted to a nu...

What is involved in getting licensed in Oklahoma for someone who already holds a Texas license (RN)??

Patty here. I'm in my last semester of a two-year program graduating in May. I'm 44, and started back to school just over 4 years ago. Can't wait for GRADUATION!!!!

:banghead:Hey, all! Does anyone have any words of wisdom about the exit HESI exam? When I took the mid-curricular HESI exam last year, my score was 846 which was 4 points from a passing score. Thank goodness that score didn't pass or fail me. One ...

:yeah:Old Outrageous Okies try to always find virgins getting viruses at homecoming.

Is there any advice for someone (myself :uhoh21:) who literally passed the 2nd semester by the skin of her teeth? I seem to be studying all the time, but it seems as though I'm concentrating on the wrong things. Thank goodness that my best grade wa...

I guess it's my turn.... Well, for starters, I'm a wife and mom of three sons (11, 13, and 19). I have two degrees (AS and BS) and am currently working on my ADN at GCC. I just finished my first year. One down, one to go:yeah:!!!!!! I am one of t...

Yes, I just completed my 1st year at Grayson. Thank you for your advise, and it does make sense to me. May I ask you this: Are the sophomore instructors' test questions anywhere near like the freshman instructors' test questions? I won't elaborate as...

We were required to take the HESI with a score of no less than 75%. There were eight parts to the test: Biology, A&P, Grammar, Spelling, Vocabulary, Math, and a couple of other parts that had to do with finding out what kind of learner you are....

When applying for an ADN program in the spring, I knew that I didn't have what it took to be accepted for the class that begins in the fall, BUT...... When I got the letter today, like I KNEW would happen, they indeed said that I did not have enough ...

Thank you all for the words. Hopefully the time will pass quickly while I wait to apply again next year. Any suggestions as to what I could be doing between now and then? ? Patty

Is there any advice to those of us who will be taking Micro this summer?? I'm really nervous about the whole thing. I will also be taking Medical Terminology online and know nothing about how taking an online class is going to be. Thank you in advan...

Maybe you should talk to your family about this and hear what their thoughts. Maybe it's just "cold feet" about beginning something that is so overwhelming and time-consuming. Once you begin your program, the time will just fly by, I bet.

I didn't know that "they" would let someone do that. :smackingf :smackingf :smackingf :smackingf :smackingf :smackingf :smackingf :smackingf Patty

Hey, I'm 41 and new here too!!!

I turned in my app on March 30, but the deadline was March 31. I called day before yesterday to ask when we might know something and was told that the "letters" would go into the mail on June 1. The waiting is KILLING me!!! Hopefully the time wil...

For what it's worth, my aunt had only had her license for a month when she gave a patient the wrong dosage of a particular med. The patient died. That was many years ago. I don't recall her license being taken away. Today, she is head of the unit...

what exactly is "shadowing" and how does it work? i don't get out much. patty

In One there are many more individual things to learn (200ish bones, muscle action, origin, insertion, ect. ), whereas, in Two, you're at least working on one system at a time.

One really good site is called Get Body Smart. It enables you to have lots of practice at location and identification. That's the one I used in A&P frequently. Patty

I will be taking Micro and Medical Terminology this summer, with the latter online. I don't know what books will be used since they will be using a new textbook this semester. Patty

Anatomy and Physiology I -- B Anatomy and Physiology II -- B Those were express classes. Had to drop Statistics. Will wait to take it when I'm not also taking such heavy classes to balance it. Patty

Grayson County College in the Sherman/Denison area also has an LVN program as well as a LVN-to-RN program. I'm in McKinney, and it is only a 25 minute drive just north of here on 75. It's not a bad drive at all from here with little to no bad traff...
