  1. Health Programs @ CCSN - CNA Grads?

    DesertRain replied to DesertRain's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Hey Checkmate--thanks for the response! Yeah I have heard from people in the RN program at CCSN that did the CNA and said it was very beneficial. I also spoke to one girl I know that said she flunked...

  2. Is this going to be hard?

    DesertRain replied to DesertRain's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    AH! So where would one find such a

  3. For those of you who are feeling down lately...

    DesertRain replied to DesertRain's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your welcome guys, it means a lot to me that it gave a little inspiration to those who may have needed it like I did when I read it the first time. I tell myself that sometimes I may not be as smart...

  4. :( Kind of a downer post...

    DesertRain replied to Jamie-Sue's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The NLN is just one of the first of a plethora of obstacles you will face on your journey to nursedom. Hold your head up high and dive in--practice defeating what you fear. I assure you that you will...

  5. I Need Help!

    DesertRain replied to Tarayya's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've wondered the same thing--well not in particular about Molloy College but other local colleges in my area that are easier and quicker to get in and you finish your ADN/BSN faster than the state...

  6. Is this going to be hard?

    DesertRain replied to DesertRain's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Thanks Jay! Do you remember any thing that may have helped you when studying for the skills

  7. Body Worlds?

    DesertRain replied to BrwnEyedGirl9402's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Absolutely. I agree with you because needless to say morals and ethics should prevail before artistic creativity. If in fact there was evidence of permission then it is up to the individual to decide...

  8. Starting school! very scared!

    DesertRain replied to beba42's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At 28 I am actually one of the youngest in my prereq classes! Congratulations to everyone reading this going back, you will feel nothing but proud of yourself

  9. Body Worlds?

    DesertRain replied to BrwnEyedGirl9402's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I guess I really can't comment on the exhibit as I saw "Bodies" not "Body Worlds" and for an A&P student the labelling was precise and as elaborate as the anatomical parts we were learning in lab....

  10. Health Programs @ CCSN - CNA Grads?

    DesertRain replied to DesertRain's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Are you signed up for the CNA program as well or have you finished it already? I can't wait for this orientation so I know what I'm getting into LOL, I'm so lost but excited as well. If you've taken...

  11. CNA's in L&D?

    DesertRain replied to *Bethany*'s topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Although it took me a while to understand what a "cay" cey was...lol, I just wanted to let you know that if you desperately need the "k" if you hold down your "alt" key and type "75" you will get a...

  12. NLN Pre-Entrance Exam

    DesertRain replied to euglena's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know that english section is rather scary to us english speakers--how sad is

  13. Body Worlds?

    DesertRain replied to BrwnEyedGirl9402's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, I am an artist--I paint and I photograph. I was dismayed when I heard of a artists exhibit using used tampons a while back. But who was I (especially as an artist) to judge someone elses art?...

  14. Mom/Baby Nurses

    DesertRain replied to JustAboutRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    There are some good people on this site. When I first had some questions I was completely shunned and felt like a complete loser and didn't come back for a while. Don't let those people get to you....

  15. Mom/Baby Nurses

    DesertRain replied to JustAboutRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I had similar questions and posted in the nursing advice forum so it wasn't so "exclusive" to those already in the field. I got a much better response there. When you get into the specialized forums I...

  16. CNA's in L&D?

    DesertRain replied to *Bethany*'s topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    If per se there is an opportunity to be a CNA in PP or in the nursery how would one get involved with that. I read on Bethany's other post in the OB forum about becoming an OB Tech, which I may do but...

  17. What is a lab practical?

    DesertRain replied to pjgarrett1388's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At the beginning of every lab we had a lab quiz. During Mid-Term and Final exam periods we had a Mid-Term/Final Practical (respectively) which was a cumulative exam on the previous

  18. Frustration with "the plan"

    DesertRain replied to krenee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Trust me, I understand about having a plan.... I'm the queen of plans......but sometimes, the smartest thing about having a plan is knowing when to change it. What is that old saying...

  19. Not another NLN PAX question.

    DesertRain replied to Pixiesmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well I can't help you with the first couple questions you asked....and now that you asked them count me in on the silly because I would like to know the answers to that too. But--I do know it takes 2...

  20. Besides the degree, what is the biggest difference between LPNs and RNs?

    DesertRain replied to jdh822's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This question confuses me as well. I Know at my CC there is no time difference to finish your RN vs LPN--it still takes 4 semesters long. I know the acceptance is also more or less as competitive to...

  21. Going back to school and I feel DUMB!

    DesertRain replied to *Bethany*'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Another aspect is that I did terrible in Math in highschool. My highschool let people graduate with 11th grade math and there was even alternative 11th grade math for the people who were bad in math...

  22. CNA's in L&D?

    DesertRain replied to *Bethany*'s topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  23. Did anybody use Elaine Marieb for A&P I and II?

    DesertRain replied to Polska's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've borrowed it from the public library and I like it a lot but I use the Martini

  24. OnLine Microbiology Class

    DesertRain replied to electrolite2002's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    LOL @ torturing your family with the living room lab! TOO FUNNY! Let's not forget the fear of spilling staph aureus on your shoes (yes it happened in our lab) funny how the biohazard signs on the test...

  25. Body Worlds?

    DesertRain replied to BrwnEyedGirl9402's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I actually saw the exhibit because my 7 year old daughter wanted so badly to see it. Now, my 7 yo isn't a normal 7 yo, she reads encyclopedia's and can tell you every single anatomical feature of any...
