  1. The Almighty HESI is nearing....

    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...
  2. Clients? Are they no longer patients?

    I'm not a fan either. It says "client" on a lot of my clinical paperwork and I constantly find myself changing it to
  3. 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...
  4. Waiting Lists

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

    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...
  6. 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...
  7. Stethoscope and other accessories?

    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...
  8. a male midwife??? :S

    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...

  10. How long did it take for you to get your RN?...

    It took 3 full semesters to do my pre-reqs (16 classes) and it will be 4 semesters for the nursing program, so 3 1/2 years total for my ADN. Then I plan to take the 10 classes I'll need for my AA so I...
  11. So . . .is nursing your final stop?

    I want to be a midwife but I need to start working as soon as possible so I'm taking baby steps. My 10-year plan looks something like this: Finish ASN Work at hospital as RN Work part-time towards my...
  12. Acceptances for the year 2007

    I just got home from visiting the in-laws for Spring Break and my letter was here waiting for me. I got in! I really didn't think I'd be accepted on my first try so I am just blown away by this. I...
  13. I got in!!

    Congrats!!!
  14. How competitive is your program?

    The school I go to refuses to tell us the stats. It's really annoying, but there are no other schools to choose from around here. I know that they take 30 people per semester but they won't tell us...
  15. NLN Results....

    Congrats on your acceptance me33!! Our school goes by a points system too but it's a bit different from yours. They factor in the number of pre-nursing classes we have completed, the grades we got in...

    Thanks Batman : ) The percentile score was in the upper-right
  17. Why do you want to be a nurse?

    Dreaming is good...keep it up! I want to be a midwife. I'm taking baby steps to get there, but that's what I hope to be eventually. I'd like to work as an Labor & Delivery nurse after I get my...
  18. NLN Results....

    I took my NLN PAX-RN on 2/10 and just got my scores today. My composite was 129 and my percentile was 91. I had just spoken to my advsior this morning before the results came and she told me if I...
  19. What would you do?

    Hi. I'm hoping someone here can give me some advice. I'm starting my third semester of pre-nursing classes this week. I've mostly A's so far and one B. However, I took Pharmacology last semester...
  20. Class with labs during pregnancy?

    I don't know the answer to this, but I highly suggest that you ask the instructor for a list of all chemicals used in the class and then bring that list to your next doctor's
  21. Panama City??

    I have been here for about 3 years now. I love the area...not too big and not too small. I lived in Tampa for a while and the traffic was rediculous. I've also lived in a tiny cow town where...
  22. Medical Terminology

    I took it and really enjoyed it. It was pretty easy and helped with some test questions in other classes that I wouldn't have known the answers to had I not had taken
  23. happy new years pre-nursing students!!

    Thanks! Have a great year
  24. Which pre-req's have you enjoyed?

    Developmental Psych was probably my favorite. I'm taking General Psych this semester with the same instuctor and I'm pretty excited about it. I also really liked Medical Terminology, but mainly just...
  25. How many people thought A & P was easy?

    A&P I was pretty easy for me. Well, I guess "easy" isn't a good word because I did have to work really hard at it, but it was doable & very well structured. The instructor had study guides...
