1. The Almighty HESI is nearing....

   Cammie895 replied to FA2Nurse's topic in General Students

   Good luck! Sounds like a good study plan! I also have HESI in November and need 850 to pass. We don't have any other HESIs in our program though. I would have liked to have had at least one practice HESI or maybe some at the end of each semester ...

2. Clients? Are they no longer patients?

   Cammie895 replied to bassadict69's topic in General Students

   I'm not a fan either. It says "client" on a lot of my clinical paperwork and I constantly find myself changing it to "patient."

3. As a nursing student, will I be prodded to become Prochoice?

   Cammie895 replied to avidhunter3's topic in General Students

   The only time it was ever really mentioned in our program was during Foundations when they discussed our major roles as nurses. We were told that we will never be forced to assist with an abortion but there might be situations where we have to provi...

4. Waiting Lists

   Cammie895 replied to 364unbirthdays's topic in General Students

   Yikes! 3 years? I'd probably have just gone straight for my BSN if there was a 3 year wait at my community college. We don't really have an official waiting list here. They take 50 people each semester and as far as I know they just take the top 5...

5. Why is LVN to RN a waste of time?

   Cammie895 replied to Divest's topic in General Students

   I think location is a big factor in whether or not it would be worth it. Here we don't have the certificate thing that you mentioned (not that I've ever heard of anyway). In my area any LPNs who want to do the LPN to RN bridge have to first take al...

6. how long the Associate degree course will going to take?

   Cammie895 replied to sherikhawo's topic in General Students

   I'm not in NY but my Associate's program (including pre-reqs) takes 3 1/2 years. It took 3 full-time semesters to get though the pre-reqs and then it's 4 full-time semesters for the actual nursing program.

7. Stethoscope and other accessories?

   Cammie895 replied to brokenroads27's topic in Uniform/Gear

   In my class most of us use clipboards that open up and hold stuff inside. They sell them at Walmart and usually have a calculator stuck to the top of them. We have to carry a clip board anyway and we don't really have anywhere that we can store any...

8. a male midwife??? :S

   Cammie895 replied to yaz's topic in CNM

   Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I was always told that the actual term "midwife" means "with women" - as in "the person who is with the woman during childbirth." The word "wife" in "midwife" refers to the woman giving birth, not the pers...

9. My experience at clinicals!

   Cammie895 replied to krenee's topic in General Students

   Thanks for sharing! I start clinicals next week. I am sooooo nervous. I think if I can just make it through that first day I'll be okay. I hope, lol. Good luck next week!

10. What are you wearing for Pinning?

    Cammie895 replied to RNSuzq1's topic in General Students

    We have to wear all white scrub tops and bottoms. Same for guys and girls. Kinda boring I guess, but they sure didn't leave any room for debate, lol.

11. Question regarding the Hep B Vaccination

    Cammie895 replied to jbjints's topic in General Students

    That seems pretty high. I'd check at your country health department clinic...I went to mine and it was $45 per injection. I go back for my second next week.

12. Graduation was great!!!

    Cammie895 replied to LolaSPN's topic in General Students

    Congrats on your achievement!! I think that they should have to retake the classes and attend the next graduation. I understand the concept behind letting them walk with their class, but the bottom line is, the other people walking actually passed t...

13. Counting Down the Days...

    Cammie895 replied to *Blessed2BaNRS*'s topic in General Students

    I also bought my books today. Talk about sticker shock!! I needed like 13 books for 2 nursing classes, and then one book for Health Math and one for American National Government (that one sure looked puny next to the nursing books, lol). I came home ...

14. Roll Call---How many start their RN this month!

    Cammie895 replied to justme1972's topic in General Students

    *raises hand* Another August 20th here. Orientation is the 14th and 15th. I wish they would have had it sooner...I hate having to wait until then to get a lot of the info I need.

15. Is everyone getting ready????

    Cammie895 replied to GottaGetIn's topic in General Students

    I'm also starting August 20th at 8am. I plan to stock up on some basic supplies this week (it's tax-free week here), but there are some things I won't be able to buy until after orientation in case my school requires us to have certain brands & s...
