I was thinking about applying at St Lukes hospital on the plaza. What do you guys know about the hospital? What makes it the best hospital in KC?

I was just wondering if any of you applied to JCCC Rn program for the fall 2004 semester. If so, have you gotten any information about the interviews? I got a letter a month ago saying that all my paper work is complete and they would let me know i...

Yeah, I'm not happy at all!! I was so upset when I found out I didn't get in. I am number 50 on the waiting list. I might as well not even be on the waiting list. I even have experience working in a hospital. I think I'm going to try KCK for the...

I think I sat 2 rows in front of you. I got a D in that class! I was one and a half points away from a C and he wouldn't give it to me!! So I retook it last semester with a much better teacher and I got a C. Math is not my strong point. Okay, I w...

John- That is not the question that stumped me. I can't even explain the question that stumped me. It was too strange. They said they would let us know by the end of March or the beginning of April. That is kind of a long time to wait. Especi...

My interview only took 15-20 minutes. It was with only one interviewer. Most of the questions were situational type questions. For example, what would you do if you saw a co-worker taking a patient's pain medication? Another one was, you smell al...

I ended up getting my letter! I had my interview 2/26. Now I have to play the waiting game! I won't find out until the end of March or the beginning of April! Good luck to you on your interview if you haven't had it yet! ...

I start my statistics class on Monday. I am not looking forward to it at all. I am terrible at math.....of all kinds!! I really want to keep my GPA as high as possible. Does anyone out there have any advice for me? ...

Thanks for your advice, everyone! And good luck to you too, Sandy! Maybe we can comiserate together this summer since we are in the same boat! Abby

I've taken college algebra three times so don't feel at all!!! Abby27

The best thing you can do is get your CNA. You will get so much experience. It only takes a couple of months and it will look so good on your resumee. Abby27

I'm getting married Dec 28th and all I can think about is if I will get into the nursing schools that I'm applying for. As if I don't have enough to worry about !!!!! Abby27

I live in KC too. I really feel alone sometimes too. If you need someone to talk to, let me know. I don't know very many people around here. I'm all about getting into nursing school. I know what it's like to be depressed! ...

I am jealous of all of you!! I just want to get into nursing school. I'm applying this month. I'll pretty much go anywhere they'll take me!! Abby27

I don't think you're crazy. I was in a similar situation. I was in a very serious car accident last year also. I have a plate and screws in my clavicle. It used to hurt quite a bit. But the pain has pretty much gone away. The femur is quite a b...

Hi, everyone! I just completed a cna course and was wondering if anyone had any helpful advice on tips for a resume when I start applying to hospitals. I want to work in the ER department. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! ...

I'm from Olathe, Kansas! Are you in nursing school yet? If not, where are you planning on going? Abby27

This summer I got an A in physiology and a B in microbiology!! I am so excited. Right now I feel like I can do anything I set my mind to. This is really going to help me get into nursing school. I really feel like I am going to be a nurse!! I nev...

I'm not as young as you probably think. I'm 28!!

I was just wondering if anyone else is having the most boring summer EVER!! I am taking microbiology and human physiology. And I am going nuts with boredom. But on the up side, I'm glad to be getting them over with. And I'm only a few classes aw...

I am trying to get a job as a unit secretary, but I am having trouble getting anyone in human resources to call me back! I have tried several hospitals too. I need a job so bad!!

I was just wondering if anyone knows of any good books to get for learning medical terminology. I haven't even applied to nursing school yet. I just want to be as prepared as possible! Abby27:nurse:

Cdrowdy- I don't know how you are in algebra, but speaking from experience, would not take algebra and A & P in the same semester. I think it's too much. Both of those classes take up a lot of time. Your first plan sounds pretty good. It's a ...

I just found out that my younger sister has multiple sclerosis. She is not dealing very well with the news. (and neither am I) I am very worried about her. Medication is going to cost $1000.00 a month! Does anyone out there have this disease or k...

Thanks for all of the support, everyone! I really appreciate it. A couple of weeks ago my sister started having really severe pain in her right eye and her vision was really blurry. She just does not want to deal with it. My parents went with he...
