Hi all! Any tips or suggestions on how to study for the HESI exams? They are rather awful, and the companion book and CD the the EVOLVE corporation puts out to study for it is useless....

Hi! Just wanted to know- what are the best hospitals in Memphis to work for as an RN? 1. Who pays best and has the best benefits (please let me know about shift, weekend dif., etc). 2. Who has the best patient ratios? 3. How much experience must you...

Hey all! I was wondering what passing percentage is in the Nursing program at Southwest. For example, I know of one school where it is 80%, and another where it is 77% total average to pass a class. Thanks!

What the difference is between Private Duty nursing and Home Health? I am really unclear on this. Thanks!

Thanks for the replies! This is clear now...

Ooh, just try not to think about how long it will take. I go part time evening wknds and I won't graduate till August 2011. I have stopped dwelling on it cause it makes me IMPATIENT.....So, I just try not to focus on the length of the program, just o...

I agree with you Jessie RN about those without education being able to value it. I know a someone personally who lacks education, but strongly advocates education and donates to scholarship funds, etc. But, I think that maybe the previous poster was...

Memphis Tiger: I am also a Memphis Tiger:yeah:!!!I don't work and I also have a B.A and an M.A as well. I am scheduled to graduate in August 2011. Labpus00: So far, the things covered in class have been on the tests. But, I am only taking the Geneds ...

Three. Freaking. YEARS!!! LOL can you tell I am not happy about that???

I am a student at Baptist in the evening and weekend program. Evening/weekenders get priority during class registration, and classes are usually 6-915 pm. I like it so far. The faculty and staff have been friendly and helpful. I have heard nothing bu...

Do you have to be at Baptist for an extended period of time(like 5 years) to get the entire 2:1 match, or is it immediately given as soon as you start to contribute to your 401k? Also, do they match UP TO A PERCENT of your salary like many places do,...

Hi! I'm in a situation where I may be attending a private school that is affiliated with a hospital. I am thinking about choosing the option to sign a contract to work for them for two years after graduation, in exchange for them covering my tuition....

It is certainly possible to go to school with a tribe of kids at home, LOL!I am a 28 year old SAHM myself. When I did my Master's, my kids were 1, 1, 2, 6, and 7. Five in all.....the only thing about you situation is the newborn. Mine were small, but...

If you go to www.tuitionanswer.com you can apply right now, OR you can call the 800 # on the site tomorrow, see what the full loan amount for your junior college is, and apply for it. They send the loan money directly to you within 2 weeks, and you d...

QueenJean, I am LMAO at flappy Hoohas! It's gotta go one day, ain't THAT the truth!!!!!!! :lol2::lol2::lol2:

Yes, my point also ItsyBitsy! Why would you choose it. Medical necessity is different. I was highly upset at the time my son was born because I ended up having a c-section after 13 hours of labor :angryfire. I was prepared for a vaginal birth and fe...

Well, I don't know where folks would get the idea that a vaginal birth is DISGRACEFUL! That is what we are made to do. I had all of mine via c-section, so I don't know firsthand which is worse. But, I will say that I have heard the opposite of what y...

It just depends on what you can handle and how good your support system is. I just took A&P 1 AND 2 along with Micro and Human Development in the Spring of 07. I have a husband and 5 kids under the age of nine, so yes-it's doable! My grades were ...

I think it is awful that someone would be discriminated against for any reason, but PARTICULARLY in healthcare. It seems such a violation of what the profession is all about, IMO. I could care less what anyone's color, religion, OR sexual preference ...

Yea, it's rather hard to guess what is going on in the families. In my case, I had a twin birth. The girl was okay, but the boy stayed in the NICU for a week. I had a casarean, and it wasn't easy for me to get around (this was my 2nd c section in 12 ...

I am starting to know the feeling ladies.....I didn't have the mommy guilt when I did my Master's because I went two days a week in the evenings. I had no problem leaving the kids with hubby, as he works all day and I stay at home. We have 5 kids, ag...

ICURN7, you may want to provide your general location, as that type of thing is probably subjective to region, city, etc. This will probably get you more replies! I noticed it's been a couple of hours since you posted this.....

Thanks for the info! I appreciate the replies. Hopefully a couple more people will pipe in at some point. CRNA, I have heard that Baptist is a real bloodsucher for nurses, LOL! Don't know if a few extra $ are worth all that, truly. I will check into...

Hi guys! Just wanted to get some clarification on this. I have noticed Registry and PRN sometimes lumped together when people talk about them. Are they the same, or different? And if different, how so? Which one makes more(if this applies)? Thanks!

One more BIIIIIIG BUMPITY-BUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Where are all the Memphis nurses nowadays LOL
