    adn and cna

    Melilem replied to yangkchoua's topic in General Nursing

    Please help me!

    Melilem replied to mak0076's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Good luck on your test! I can't really help, I'm just a first year student. I opened a NCLEX test practice book at Boarders Bookstore and nearly fell over in shock. I'd be happy if ALL the questions...

    Waiting lists???

    Melilem replied to Jade280's topic in General Nursing

    I've heard that there's no wait at University of Maine at Fort Kent. It's just a rumor, but I've heard it a few times. Unfortunately, I had already started at UMA, so I didn't bother to confirm

    Melilem replied to LPNguy's topic in General Nursing

    If you would be happier building networks or working for an accounting firm or something, you should do what makes you happy. You are going to do this for 40+ years. 3k is nothing. I hope its not a...

    Do you know how to do CPR well?

    Melilem replied to Bala Shark's topic in General Nursing

    When I took my first 8 hour CPR class, I was confused and a little overwhelmed- and very unsure if I was ready to use my new skills on a real person. Of course, we have chosen this profession because...

    Melilem replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    Coming in with gum in your hair, chipped acrylic nails, or a hangover is funny stuff. Homeless folks coming in for meals and a place to sleep, that's just

    Frustrated Pre- Nursing Student

    Melilem replied to DoubleT119's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    New pre-nursing student "need advice"

    Melilem replied to kcmo06's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do Nurses Need Chemistry Education?

    Melilem replied to Dr. O's topic in General Nursing

    UMA did not even require chemistry (other than high school), but since the waiting list was SOOOOoooo long, I got most of a BA in biology while I waited. I have to say that the inorganic chem classes...
