  1. Humanities Clep - Study Guide?

    Ex130Load replied to MiaLyse's topic in Online Distance Learning

  2. Digital Recorders for class! Help me pick one.

    Ex130Load replied to Boink's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Fun2Care, My last response regarding instructors discussing PTs was and wasn't directed at you. Yes, your opinion warranted a contrasting perspective. No, in that I just wanted others to consider a...

  3. Digital Recorders for class! Help me pick one.

    Ex130Load replied to Boink's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    "As for patient confidentiality...an instructor shouldn't be discussing a patient," I disagree with you here. This isn't criticism or meant to be argumentative. Nursing's about...

  4. Husband wants to try nursing at 44

    Ex130Load replied to mstigerlily's topic in Men in Nursing

    Am ex-military too. Completed my last final a week ago for BSN and am staring at a quickly approaching 50. The earlier comments about forcing an older body and brain to go through the rigors of...

  5. Digital Recorders for class! Help me pick one.

    Ex130Load replied to Boink's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Playing devil's advocate, I can understand why some teachers refuse to allow recordings--PT confidentiality rules and recordings can record activities deemed undesirable by universities. A recording...

  6. Humanities Clep - Study Guide?

    Ex130Load replied to MiaLyse's topic in Online Distance Learning

    It's been a while, but yes, I've taken the humanities CLEP. I'm thinking Barron's (SP?) writes study guides for the various subjects. Good sized, seemed relatively thorough, and can be ordered from...

  7. Loan repayment for underserved area's?

    Ex130Load replied to tcrn's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Individual states and universities offer them too. I remember seeing offerings at my school's nursing website--practice in a certain county, go to the southeast AR delta region,

  8. How will this affect my future?

    Ex130Load replied to freetobe83's topic in General Nursing

    Observed a disciplinary session at the AR BON two years ago as part of a class project. Three fine upstanding members and members to be (one a student) of the nursing community 'fessed up about their...

  9. Skirts, anyone???

    Ex130Load replied to kellyo's topic in General Nursing

    I know I'm gonna sound profoundly sexual, but what the hell. Yes ladies, please wear dresses and skirts. I think they generally look good on ya'll. I realize they aren't practical in my settings,...

  10. Nursing School

    Ex130Load replied to ResaO's topic in Emergency

    Cut and pasted my response to a similiar topic elsewhere. Info's a definite player here. Just had my last nursing final. Late in the game, a friend recommended and I tried a palm-sized tape recorder,...

  11. Is a BSN needed in nursing today?

    Ex130Load replied to SierraN's topic in General Nursing

    A BSN degree gives you more options--ward nurse, nursing director, nurse eduation, etc. If you've no desire to down those paths, you probably won't need a BSN. The VA allegedly is now only hiring...

  12. How to pass Anatomy and physiology ?

    Ex130Load replied to earthlovers123's topic in General Nursing

    Just had my last nursing final. Late in the game, a friend recommended and I tried a palm-sized tape recorder, $65(?)+ Sony. Nothing is missed. Lectures can be repeated. Mine used mini-tapes and I...

  13. Unfair Discipline at Work...What do you Think?

    Ex130Load replied to flashpoint's topic in General Nursing

    I am flabbergasted by the some responses. The alleged incident occurred while the OP was off-duty. That should be the crux of the entire issue. Though the OP may be wearing clothing identifying her...

  14. Really bad GPA please help!

    Ex130Load replied to chico's topic in General Nursing

    My university also requires that all transcripts be submitted. I've been told this year's junior class had an approximate 25% acceptance rate, potentially "a dog eat dog" situation. If GPAs are the...

  15. What kind of office jobs can nurses hold?

    Ex130Load replied to nursestudentx's topic in General Nursing

    Having said those things, you're most likely going to encounter at least some poop, pee, and vomit during clinicals. I think I had less than 10 occasions during my clinicals and that seemed to be...

  16. Abused by instructor---what to do?

    Ex130Load replied to timewood's topic in General Nursing

    Timewood, Yours is an unenviable position. You state you worked in another position/career field position for 15 years suggesting to me that you probably know something of human behavior and the...

  17. CORI and background check question

    Ex130Load replied to Jess RN's topic in General Nursing

    future nurse jess Checked with a cop friend who said as I believed. If you pay a fine, you've been convicted and have a "record." Your case has been adjuticated(SP). Traffic vilolations and the...

  18. so my boyfriend found this lump...

    Ex130Load replied to grapejuice01's topic in General Nursing

    Among several things it could be and one that's non-malevolent is a limpoma, a non-malignant tumor of adipose tissue. The location and size is

  19. Do I Have To Be A Brainiac To Get Thru Crna School?

    Ex130Load replied to SKYSTHELIMIT's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    SKYSTHELIMIT, you started off on one topic and the community quickly shifted to another. I find the speed with which it did somewhat humorous; the subject seems near and dear to many. If you're...

  20. suturing information required

    Ex130Load replied to barrabird's topic in Emergency

    Several posters have stated that phyician assistant programs are only masters degree programs--untrue. Kettering College of Medical Arts among others offer PA degrees at the baccalaureate(SP)

  21. ethical delemma(sp?)

    Ex130Load replied to emsboss's topic in General Nursing

    I'm "old school" in that I put a premium on being a "person of my word." Having said that, I know many bosses don't have the same standards and will do as they feel in order to do their job. That...

  22. Woo-hoo!!!!!!!

    Ex130Load replied to emsboss's topic in General Nursing

    My school informed us that the HESI grading format has changed which the original poster seems to have verified. I've read literature that HESI has a 98%+ accuracy rate in predicting the likelihood...

  23. They called 911 & sent me out. I learned a lesson!

    Ex130Load replied to lovingtheunloved's topic in General Nursing

    Previous posters have covered it very well. In descending order of priorities, (1) you're doing well and we're glad to hear of it. (2) What the heck caused the hypokalemia? (3) You want to prevent a...

  24. question for all with any charges from past

    Ex130Load replied to donnar232's topic in General Nursing

    In Arkansas, the state board of nursing tells NLCEX or licensing applicants to "fess up" everything, that it's easier to explain what happened than attempt to justify why a criminal act was omitted...

  25. should I leave my BSN program?

    Ex130Load replied to rasa26's topic in General Nursing

    There are different ways to receive an RN license. If a BSN at your private school is important to you, the cheap side of me says to complete any transferable classes (chemistry, psychology, algebra,...
