Beaumont says that they are losing money from having more patients with medicare and less patients with commercial insurance. Their CEOs and physicians are taking 10% pay cuts, they issued a hiring freeze in september and they are laying off 100 non ...

I made it through med/surg II with a B. On to OB, although I was glad for the break.

Ok so I made to Med Surg II at WCCCD but im terribly afraid of the grading scale. With only three test there is absolutely no wiggle room. If anyone has any helpful tips or comments at all please feel free to leave them and I would greatly appreciate...

Yes Nurseegurl I would like the link to Brunners. Thanks.

Nurseegurl thanks a lot, now I know why she acts the way she does. She is very anal and talks about students cheating a lot and the tests have gotten harder. The class average on the last test was 72/74. She tossed out some questions so that brought ...

I highly recommend Caroline Peltz. She is wonderful.

Thats what I was expecting but they didn't seem to be NCLEX style questions. I didnt understand her answers for some of the questions and I need to follow up with her on Monday.

I am with you there I took my first test on wednesday and I got a 74% when passing is a 75%. I was prepared for the test but when I took it nothing that I concentrrated on was on the test. Hopefully I do better next time.

Im also sick of Marshalls crap, I had to order my uniforms from Discount Uniforms on greenfield/grandriver and my clinicals start tomorrow and I still don't have the nametags that I ordered feb. 1. So im in the same boat hoping that my instructor doe...

We were taught to wash your hands after removing the medical asepsis gloves set up your sterile field and then glove using your sterile gloves.:wink2:

Should have probably asked this question earlier but if anyone can answer please do so. I have my final lab checkoffs tomorrow and tuesday and was wondering how they set up the IV checkoffs? Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advan...

HI OP im a first semester WCCCD nursing student, you should take a pen/pencil and paper with you to the meeting to take notes. When determining gpa for admittance first they take your pre reqs and average them out then they take your pre reqs and com...

Hello all I started Jan 14 so im officially one week into my first semester of the ADN degree. The reading material is heavy and I am nervous about my first test tomorrow. Well here goes and good luck to everyone.

That was a great deal I need to invest in bookshelves myself. I found a great nclex study guide called flash cards in a book for $9 at borders, guess I will be adding to the collection from here on out.
