I know I am probably going to get a lot of heat about this question but I am going to ask it. I am a prenursing student and work ata local free clinic as a volunteer manager. I am having an argument with the nurse who oversees the volunteers that w...

Hello, I am trying to apply to UVM's Master's Entry Program for people who have a bachelor's degree in a field other than nursing. Does anyone know what term the program begins? I was guessing it begins in the summer but I am not sure if it may b...

Hi Nancy, You might try Macys (unfortunately, I don't think you can sort by price or color like you can at Target or Kohls), Target ($17 and up) or Kohls especially this week where many stores are having Memorial Day sales. You might check online a...

I have a few questions about PPD testing. I went to apply for a job at a major teaching hospital and before I can be considered for a job I have to first have a PPD test done. I am used to being hired for the job and then having to have a PPD test ...

I volunteered several years ago in a teaching hospital where they had me changing gurneys that might have blood or anything else, pushing gurneys. Most hospitals I know of require now that the volunteers have Hep B shots. Even one of the hospitals I ...

Thanks Sharylnn I will look into Silkies.

Can someone explain what ppc means?

I read this same advice online in a power point about how to study for nursing exams. For me, not studying the night before an exam would feel like I was slacking off even if I have studied plenty ahead of time. I don't want to be kicking myself th...

There are socks/knee highs especially that exist without a heel, they are like tube socks but I haven't found any that are compression gradient. They basically stay up due to the band at the top. The lack of a heel doesn't affect this, think of mo...

I am looking for stockings/knee highs that don't have a built in heel. Does anyone know if they exist? I have a tiny foot and all the socks/knee highs I look at have the heel built in which would end up half way up my calf. I looked at several by N...

Beth, As others have stated great job. I agree that it doesn't matter what your job is in the hospital, all healthcare professionals should (are?) required to report abuse and take action. I am glad you didn't get hurt. Can someone define POA...

I needed to post to get some feedback from other nurses/students. I had clinical yesterday and was really happy with it until an hour after I left I learned some papers couldn't be found. These papers are supposed to be transferred from nurse to nu...

From one lefty to another, have you ever found the notebooks that are made specifically for lefties? I have never used one since I have gotten so used to the spiral binding being on the left hand side. These "special" notebooks are also more expens...

My impression of second degree programs is most take people who have a wide range of majors in their first BA/BS. The point of a second degree program is for those of us who decided we wanted to be nurses after we got our first degree. If you look at...

Thanks, I just checked and it was indeed the AHA class.

strange how a standardized class is still so different. we didn't have to roll a classmate onto their back from a prone position. the aha i thought got rid of abdominal thrusts when a person is unconscious (i don't believe you ever did them on a pers...

I just took the AHA class on Sunday at my local hospital for healthcare providers and it was easy. Granted I have been certified in the past in CPR and just certified in the Fall at work in community CPR. My class was about 4 hours and covered adult,...

Can someone tell me how schools can accept GRE scores that are more than 5 years old. I know a school can decide how old a class or test can be that they wiill accept but you can't get ETS to send them a copy for a test that is older than 5 years sin...

Boy, I wish I had seen your post two days ago. I just took the GRE exam w/ the essays and I don't remember how many paragraphs my essays had, I think both had at least four so that is good. I am also interestd to know what prep class you took. I t...

I realize the posts on this thread are old so it took me a minute too understand how people could score a 1490 and a 1700. Originally I thought a 1400 was great but I think th scores noted must refer to the older version of the GRE that contaned 3 se...

After personally doing what I thought was a lot of research about direct entry master's programs I am a little confused. Most of the programs I have looked at offer either a MSN witha concentration in x or a generalist MSN. Can any one explain to me ...

LC3, in my opinion, your quesiton about captialization is not dumb. Actually, your question made me pause, and go bakcand review my own essay. Peanut1 thanks for the response.

I am currently applying to direct entry programs and have recently taken my pre-reqs as my local community college. Most places seem to be willing to accept cc classes. Many of the nursing programs especially direct entry are aware that their appli...
