  1. My First Clinical Deficiency (Long)

    At my school, our instructor is next to us when it is time for meds. I am first year, but only just finished our first semester. From what I understand, we are never allowed to give meds independently, even in our last year. We would not have access ...
  2. HIPAA violation? Please help...

    I know it's kind of been resolved for you, but I wonder why no one else showed up at the hospital that day. (even the instructor) Did you get the date or time wrong? Or did the others get in trouble for not showing up?
  3. Lasik Eye Surgery: Whats Everyones Opinion?

    I had it done 9 years ago. My vision was a little worse than yours. I had dryness and haloing at night (halos around streetlights and headlights) for a year. I used lubricating eye drops and just dealt with it. I always had dry eyes and issues with c...
  4. Not accepted at Harford CC..?s

    Did the letter state what the applicant's stats were? How many applied, what the lowest GPA was, etc? That is the info you need in order to determine how close you are to getting accepted. If this info was not in your letter, you can call the nursing...
  5. Spring 09 Orientation...when is yours?

    My orientation is mid-December. The wait is killing me, although the acceptance packet did have some info in it concerning the dosage class and test, book costs, uniform costs and info about being fitted for them at orientation. The acceptance packet...
  6. Have you gone to an orientation yet? We got info about the dosage calc class in our acceptance packet. We also have the option to self-study. My school does not have the self-study guide in the bookstore yet. I have been using an older version of a d...
  7. I also start nursing school in January, and have been taking prereqs this last year. I have been working at a retail shoe store that is 3 minutes from our house. It is small--only me and one other employee, other than the owners. When times are slow,...
  8. Clinical Help

    I just got accepted to my nursing program, so I don't have any experience yet with clinicals. I have a couple questions for you, though, as your situation sounds bad: 1. Has anyone approached the instructor about it? 2. Has anyone approached the hea...
  9. Poked myself with a syringe

    Holy Smokes--did you know anyone who actually had to do that paper? I cannot imagine!
  10. I also have a English degree, and was able to transfer over all my prereq classes. It took me a couple emails to get the math straight, because the college was not sure if the course from 15+ years ago in another state was the same content as the cur...
  11. How do I pay my bills?

    If I were you, I would get some roommates! I never lived on my own at your age. Money was too tight. And in LA? I can't imagine how you can even afford a place on your own. Maybe you can get lucky and find some fellow pre-nursing students who would u...
  12. I failed Med Surg 1

    Holy Smokes! Your learning experience with this class is not going to be a good one. I can't believe the instructor's answer to those kinds of stats is to give a take-home test. (which I assume will be open book) No one will learn anything by taking ...
  13. Vent..Cheating Students..and my bad test grade!!!

    Many honor codes require that you report any cheating that you are aware of. If you don't, they claim you can also be punished. I don't know if this actually happens, though. Usually I would not care if people cheat, but do their higher grades affec...
  14. What's for supper...

    Heck, that sounds really good! I don't really care for fish much, but my husband does. We gave away our little foreman grill years ago. I think I will get one of the big ones. We have 3 kids and I think they would like mini burgers and hot dogs on i...
  15. First weekend of clinicals and I'm beat!

    I love it! I just got accepted to an evening/weekend program that starts in January. I don't know how soon they will get us in clinicals, but I can't wait. Wow, you were able to do a lot, too. What kind of shoes do you have now? I don't know what my ...
