  3. Nebraska Methodist College Accelerated Program

    anurseatlast replied to C6H12O6's topic in General Nursing

    One thing that I find very important with NMC's program is that every 8 weeks you get a week break (except the summer semester, there isn't enough time). The other accelerated programs in Omaha don't...

  4. Nebraska Methodist College Accelerated Program

    anurseatlast replied to C6H12O6's topic in General Nursing

  5. Nebraska Methodist College Accelerated Program

    anurseatlast replied to C6H12O6's topic in General Nursing

    I think cost is a realistic concern. When I went (I graduated in 2007), I think the tuition was about $27K with a couple thousand more for books, uniforms, etc. I think most people borrowed money...

  10. scared i'm going to lose my license..

    anurseatlast replied to nurse441's topic in General Nursing

    You worked way too hard to risk your license and think how you would feel if there was a tragic outcome while you are in charge. I would not want to be in that position even if I was a nurse with a...

    anurseatlast replied to labrador4122's topic in General Nursing

    anurseatlast replied to friendlysmile's topic in General Nursing

    anurseatlast replied to cacurlytop's topic in General Students

    anurseatlast replied to Keila's topic in General Students

    Everyone feels dumb at clinical at least some of the time. You are just learning. You WILL get it. If it makes you feel any better, when I was learning to do IV meds, my clinical instructor said, "You...
