"get over yourself! suck it up." Did you learn that empathy whilst giving your classmate a bath? Soooooo glad you have never been my nurse.

Really? I found your posts to be very well written. Perhaps you should start working on a book!:) Hope to see you around the board, I am begining a job in a correctional facility in November....may have questions later!

Just sayin'

No one should be required to subject themselves to a bed bath, period. If the instructor feels it is not a big deal then she can strip down and be the subject for the class! Even patients have the RIGHT to refuse a bed bath! I am disappointed by the ...

You are assuming that the patient wanted to know everything that was happening. You can certainly be supportive and follow the lead of the one performing the procedure. Can you imagine the concentration it takes to perform a thoracentesis? Part of th...

I have those days too, it gets harder and harder to stay positive....I just want to scream everytime I see experience this....experience that.....it does hurt, but its not you. Just know there are others out there in the same situation as you...

I am really sorry to hear that. I wish you the best of luck.

just took my final after the longest quarter ever!!!! now i have to wait about a week in agony for grades to post! time for prayer circle :)

hi, i don't know if you're still interested; but i live in gahanna and cotc's adn in the new program. a ton of people in my cohort live in the columbus area. the first quarter clinical was in zanesville @ 7:00 am, but i was able to carpool with a gro...

I am @ COTC which I was dead set against. However, I am starting my 4TH quarter, where I was waitlisted at CSCC and would just be starting my 1st quarter. COTC has been great, half the class lives in Columbus, some of us even carpool! We even have so...

I am in my 4th quarter of Nursing classes @ COTC and they have a new program. I took anatomy, phisiology, bio, chem, human dev, small group all at CSCC. Patho and Micro are now integrated into the program so don't take them. I had to take reasoning s...

Hi! Just my 2cents, I'm with Daytonite, "don't ask, don't tell" But it does sound like you are trying to cover your bases and do this in the most organized, seamless way possible.....on another quick note, love God, love your neighbor. Do not let the...

Well said. Most of the students in my cohort are "non-traditional" students. WE are the bread and butter of their program. They could stand to make classes more convenient, and do more to accomadate the needs of their students. I am not asking for th...

we learned iv starts on lab arms. As for injections, we practiced on "injecta pads" squishy pads about 3-4" thick. we were not allowed to practice on each other. In the clinical setting I have been able to adminster a SC and an IM, but not an IV star...

Hi, You get the access codes from inside the books. (if you buy a new book, or a used one that does not have the code box scratched) I have registered my anatomy book and 2 of my nursing books (fundamentals and med-surg) they give you online access t...

Just saw this post; I too was rejected b/c of my NET test scores! UGH! Which is ok, b/c I am in my second quarter of the nursing program at COTC in Newark, they have a competitve entry as well but not as many people applying because they are in New...

August 09 here! Sooo excited to have a light at the end of the tunnel! Good luck to everyone, I think we all know what it took to get this far!

Last year I was confimation number 753!!! They put me in priority group 2! This year I was confirmation number 46....we'll see what happens. How did you do?

I've heard the letters do not go out until June too.....that's when I got my rejection letter last year

I agree, I have both as well and I found the HESI to be a much more valuable resource. There were no surprises, if it was on the test it was in the SG. I would HIGHLY recommend getting the HESI SG.

I agree, I have both as well and I found the HESI to be a much more valuable resource. There were no surprises, if it was on the test it was in the SG. I would HIGHLY recommend getting the HESI SG. It's pretty small, but very succinct.

I applied to 2 different schools, I took the NET at one and the HESI at the other. I did buy the study guide for the HESI; I did well on both, but I have had college Algebra, and I am strong in Math. Both tests that I took included the addition,subtr...

Congratulations! I know that was a brave move and a wonderful suprise that they are being supportive. Good luck in school!

I was in this exact situation as well. I went in to my bosses office to give my 2 weeks notice because I had accepted another job. (I was POSITIVE she couldn't wait to see me go!) She asked me to take it back and think about it. I laid all of my card...

My post stated "currently" meaning in JUNE it was PROVISIONAL. That status could change at anytime. My point was to research any school that interest you thoroughly. I still would not recommend CPS to anyone who plans to further their education beyon...
