I can tell you that I am a senior at WVUIT, and that was one of the reasons I chose that school,... NO WAIT! Their requirements are high, but I spoke to the director of the program, and they are desperate for applicants! We were allocated 32 spots ...

-- your kids stop asking what's for dinner, they already know to filter through the freezer for whatever boxed meal looks most appealing. -- you are pretty sure that you've now developed a pressure sore in the sacral region from sitting on your tooka...

Don't forget flavored colas. Grape soda will also turn the poop a nasty green color. Ice pops definately. My brothers would revel at their technicolor poops after downing a whole box of Otter Pops.

I'm currently in my third year at WVSCTC, technically. I used State's Community College to get my Pre-Reqs out of the way. Now I'm dually enrolled at WVU Tech's BSN program, and still filling out the rest of my schedule at State ( APII, and Eng. 31...

I bought a set of Mosby Nursing Skills by Potter and Perry, you could probably do a Search on Amazon and find a cheaper set. I bought mine through http://www.elsevierhealth.com for about $100 brand new. Nice set of videos (8 in all), That cover Bas...

Get organized and STAY organized! And have fun with it, as much as possible. A healthy sense of humor will go along way in maintaining sanity.

I think you're off to a great start! I would say the more accustomed you are to the terminology the better off you will be. Don't let these threads scare you TOO much about A&P. I found that if you pay attention (and to do this, you MUST show ...

Okay, I'm speaking strictly as a Nursing Student, I am not a CRNA (......yet), however, ALL CRNA programs require AT LEAST 1 year of critical care experience. I also know that the competition is fierce, so a 3.5 with great GRE scores and great refer...

Google the Red Cross. I found the link on a United Way website I think. Really nice because they had all the different CPR classes (who knew there were so many different CPR certifications) listed with the dates and times. It also allowed me to re...

My mother dealt with the liscensing of docs at Cabell for years, knew the records of most in the area, and she has insisted for years that Cabell has the best overall medical staff (St. Mary's is getting better), and that under NO circumstances was I...

I got into WVU Tech's BSN program with a 3.8, however a friend of mine got in with a 2.8, but she was vigilant in talking with the school asking how she could improve her chances, they accepted her providing she retake one of her science classes over...

I think a quick look at the pre-nursing boards will give you some idea on the difficulty involved in the "getting in" process. It is hard, it is frustrating, but it is completely doable! I spent 2 years getting into a BSN program, still have 3 year...

You will find that those that settle for "skating by" are whittled out slowly, the ones that remain are those that decided to buckle down. I had a study group for A&PI that was filled with this sort of attitude, even worse they said "Oh well, I'...

OF Course! Never hesitate in sharing here, everything posted is much appreciated by all! Especially me!

Our advisor has boxes outside of her office that show all the local colleges and the list of requirements as well as a list of classes that are transferable to these schools. Ask your advisor, ask many questions, that's what they are there for. The...

OP,...you have described my last 2 years in school, except I have an 11 year old and a 3 year old. The one suggestion I could offer, and I can't claim that it has been a 100% success, ....but I found that if I put a FAMILY chore chart up and divy ou...

And it is for this reason that I keep my mouth closed when others ask about my future plans for advancement. I get lots of eye rolls and smirks, as if saying "OF COURSE you want to be a CNRA, then you MUST be only interested in $$," I first looked ...

Like many of you, I have become a complete allnurses addict. Here I have found a plethora of knowledge that has helped in so many ways this last year. When I bring in all of the info shared on allnurses to my classes, peers are amazed and demand to...

You SEE! Thus is my inner conflict! I am all about sharing, I'm normally a very shareful sort, however I do gleen some personal satisfaction in that I am always one step ahead of the other students. Wrong? Maybe,....but it feels soooo good!

haHA! I knew I wan't the only one!

I'm so jealous!!! You were at least offered a Pharm class. Both Nursing schools in the area usually only offer it once a year (one offers in the fall, the other school in the spring). I chose not to take it last semester (it was full to the gills a...

An A also,---- most important READ the sections before the lecture, and I cannot stress enough--- GO TO ALL LECTURES! Those skipping lectures were the ones struggling to finish with a C,...and many will have to repeat this class again. Take advanta...

Same thing with my school, I'm forced to spend outrageous $$ for books during open registration.

Sadly, there aren't many of us on this site. A handful of nurses and a few students. I start WVU Tech's program next fall, Marshall was my first choice, but they changed the transferable courses and I would have had to repeat a whole semester, or i...

This is my first post here, but when I saw this thread I knew I needed to post. 5 years ago, my husband and I lost our second daughter when she was 4 weeks old. She was born with a congenital diaphragmatic hernia. We were made aware of her conditi...
