The last published numbers from the LSBN website is for 2007. Perhaps they are giving you numbers from 2008 or 2009. These would be different from those from the LSBN and correct for their last graduating classes. M

Congrats!

Your allowed to have phones during an exam? If a student were found with a phone during our exams they would get an automatic zero! We are allowed nothing but a pencil and picture ID that must be turned in at the door and picked up from the proctor...

I use the palm centro smart phone. Have drug book, medical dict., lab values, etc. It also has my calendar on it and I can put mp3s of lectures on it to listen to on the go. M

From the information bulletin: Acceptance letters are mailed by mid December for the next Fall class and by the middle of June for the next Spring class.

Our entire semester takes each test at the same time on the same day from 1330 to 1445. At 1500 we have review. Each test question is projected on the screen with the correct answer and rationals for all answers. We can have nothing with us and ar...

Unless it has recently changed, (like since my husbands last paycheck) they debit your check $24.00 a month for garage parking. M

All above are good suggestions. Mine? Go to Walgreens and get a pill splitter, a really good one with a blade. I found I often had to split pills and could NEVER find one at the hospital (My CI carried one with her). Now I have my own! M

A surgical tech is going to gowned and gloved during cases so no worries about exposing tats to patients then. Otherwise, we usually inhabit areas of the hospital where patients aren't wondering around. M

I'm 47 and just finished my first semester of NS. I'm doing way better now than I would have 20 years ago. Go for it! As for the TEAS. This is the test that I had to take for my school as well. ATI sells a study guide that covers all the topics o...

Meditation .... EVERY morning!

apitslife, My card specifies that I took "BLS for Healthcare Providers". I would call just to confirm that this is the class you are signed up for as there is a BLS class for the lay person that would not be acceptable at CSN. Your probably signed ...

Thank you !!!!!

Daytonite, I had bookmarked the post you linked to on this thread. Of course with the new upgrade it just takes me to the AN home page. Could you please reference the thread title or date or search terms that will allow me to find this again? I'm ...

I have the Palm Centro phone w/ a 4G SD card (more than a TX). We are allowed to have them in clinical as long as the phone feature is turned off. I've had both Palm and PocketPC devices in the past and I can do everything with the Centro I could d...

Half.com can be great when your transaction proceeds smoothly, however, if something goes wrong you have very little recourse. Back in October I purchased a med-surg textbook from a seller on half.com. They sent me the wrong book so I was forced t...
