    How Long Does It Take To Receive Child Abuse Clearnce and Criminal Record?

    Asherah replied to HappyMeNow's topic in General Students

    Good Looking Enough to be a Nurse?

    Asherah replied to casey1988's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think its a silly question if you're coming from a background of ED, but I honestly don't think it matters. MDs and other professionals you will be working with will be more concerned with...

    Columbia University ETP 2008

    Asherah replied to Asherah's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Many folks would suggest one step in determining if a specialty is for you is if you have the chance to shadow an NP closely. You can at least get a feel for their specific role, the patient...

    Can a nursing student use the word "code"?

    Asherah replied to newtress's topic in General Nursing

    As an intern at a local hospital we were required to know all of the various codes/meanings and encouraged to use them in appropriate situations. I think you did very well in alerting the MDs/RNs in...

    Asherah replied to Italia13 RN's topic in General Nursing

    Just to let you know, I tried the URL and the website message received says "site still under construction". I'm not sure if there was a website in place there when you placed your order on 6/20. If...

    Submit ALL transcripts

    Asherah replied to benegesserit's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I hope you're joking. To the original poster, please do not take this advice, it is likely incorrect and could pose problems for you if you decide to withhold certain transcripts from any program...

    Asherah replied to ThatPoshGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Irvine Valley College (Irvine, CA) offers a Human Prosection course for Honor Students. It was a small group class where you chose a portion of a human cadaver to dissect out. I loved my Anatomy...

    NOT BASHING M.A.'s!!!!

    Asherah replied to KayceeLeeRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think you should re-read your original post and the tone you used throughout, and then step back and think about how that was supposed to encourage dialogue. Accusations and generalizations are not...

    NOT BASHING M.A.'s!!!!

    Asherah replied to KayceeLeeRN's topic in General Nursing

    The NEW Nurse (Not the ones AOL speak of)

    Asherah replied to walk6miles's topic in General Nursing
