    PhilGN replied to gillijr1001's topic in California Nursing

    I don't know anything about them other than their advertisement for the new grad program, but congratulations! It looks like a great place to work at. You'll have to post later if you like it or not,...

    PhilGN posted a topic in Men in Nursing

    Hello. I've been looking on a lot of the nursing shoe forums in here, and it seems like all of them suggest crocs or something similar. I'm starting nursing school in august and for shoes, I have to...

  3. Men's Laced Nursing Shoes

    PhilGN replied to PhilGN's topic in Men in Nursing

    Thanks for all the great responses. I think I'll check some of the scrubs and uniform stores in the area, but I'll definitely keep an eye out for the brands you

  4. Prehospital Nursing

    PhilGN posted a topic in Emergency

    Hi, I've finished my prereqs and I'm applying to nursing school, but at the moment I'm taking an EMT class. The instructor for the class is a flight nurse, and he's mentioned nurse involvement in the...

  5. Prehospital Nursing

    PhilGN replied to PhilGN's topic in Emergency

    Thanks for all the great answers. Suzanne, is ER experience good for pre-hospital, or does it need to be ICU or critical care in particular? TraumaRus, you mentioned you had volunteered in EMS, what...

  6. AED Question

    PhilGN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi everyone. I just finished the BLS today, and I was wondering about something during the AED practice but didn't ask it. What happens when you're about to use an AED and someone has piercings? I...

  7. Delta College, Stockton, CA

    PhilGN replied to ChargeNurseAmy74's topic in California Nursing

    I don't think he's that bad. The two main suggestions I can give are 1) don't tape his lectures and 2) learn how to take really good notes. His test material comes from his lectures. I know a lot of...

  8. Delta College, Stockton, CA

    PhilGN replied to ChargeNurseAmy74's topic in California Nursing

    Costa was pretty easy for anatomy, or at least as easy as any of the anatomy teachers at Delta can be. His tests can be a little tricky, so just make sure you go over the test a couple of times when...

  9. Delta College, Stockton, CA

    PhilGN replied to ChargeNurseAmy74's topic in California Nursing

    Hi Kimbalou. I had Costa for anatomy this last semester, and I thought he had been at Delta since the early 80s. Did you stay in the area after graduating? I heard that almost all of the nurses around...

    PhilGN replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  11. *microbiology Summer 07*

    PhilGN replied to MelanyJ's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My school doesn't offer general microbiology in the summer, so I have to take the 1 unit less Medical Microbiology. It's monday to thursday from 9:30 to 3:30. The only thing that kinda sucks is that I...

  12. Controversial Michael Moore Flick 'Sicko' Will Compare U.S. Health Care with Cuba's

    PhilGN replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I saw the movie last night at a sneak preview in Sacramento. For a Michael Moore movie, it's really not that liberal. I mean he does have occasional comments about Iraq or Bush, but his main targets...

  13. Delta College, Stockton, CA

    PhilGN replied to ChargeNurseAmy74's topic in California Nursing

    Thanks, I'm taking a medical microbiology right now, and I didn't even think about taking an online class from another community college! Are there any that have particularly good online programs, or...

  14. Community College VS Private College

    PhilGN replied to ChargeNurseAmy74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi Amy, have you tried talking to any of the counselors at Delta? I'm going there and trying to get into the RN program also. I went to a pre-health meeting they had last year, and that was really...

  15. I cried in class today

    PhilGN replied to JdNNurse2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's completely understandable. I didn't walk out but I felt a little creeped out in my Anatomy lab this past spring. The teacher was going over the vertebral column, and how some of the curves...

  16. Specialties for Men

    PhilGN posted a topic in Men in Nursing

    I'm taking the prereqs for the nursing program at my school, and I've been looking on here for information about the different kinds of specialties I could go into after school. I was wondering if...

  19. Summer Session Sign In

    PhilGN replied to misserlizzer's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking medical terminology and medical microbiology. Medical terminology is first and online, and there's only about a week overlap when I have both classes. Only problem is I'm still on the...

  20. "micribiology for health professionals" - do you think this counts

    PhilGN replied to firstyearRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm actually taking medical microbiology this summer. At my school, you take either regular or medical microbiology for the nursing prereqs. I'm not entirely sure of the difference between the two....

  21. How many credits per quarter?

    PhilGN replied to morningstarRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This past semester I had 13.5 units. In the summer I plan on having 7 and in the fall 13 again. I'm trying to have just enough units to be full time, because the advisers keep telling us the...

  22. Specialties for Men

    PhilGN replied to PhilGN's topic in Men in Nursing

    Thanks for your replies. So is neonatal intensive care a job with quite a few men compared to others? I've heard there are quite a few men in Emergency Room nursing, and my Dad had to go to the Cath...

  23. Delta College, Stockton, CA

    PhilGN replied to ChargeNurseAmy74's topic in California Nursing

    Hey turbohound, did you take any classes at Delta before getting accepted, or did you come from somewhere else? Just trying to see if I can find any good teachers,

  24. Acclerated BSN programs in CA

    PhilGN replied to saral_123's topic in California Nursing

    nursinguy, I kinda looked into the accelerated BSN or MSN programs. I got a bachelors from Davis a few years ago, but my gpa wasn't that great and it was in humanities, so I'm doing the prereqs at the...
