  1. New CNA Hospice experiences

    Kundera replied to hekat927's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I know this thread is old, but I wanted to thank Jacqueline for her post. I will be starting my new job as a hospice aide in just two weeks, and am sure her advice will be

  2. CNA to LPN to RN

    Kundera replied to worrywart75's topic in General Nursing

    You say that you don't want to consider student loans, but they very well may be your ticket to a better future. For me, they were the only way I could realistically get the college education I truly...

  3. I got back in

    Kundera replied to nurse12b's topic in General Students

    Good for you! I am sure you will do great this time

  4. Flashcard suggestions for A&P class

    Kundera replied to MacMaster's topic in General Students

    Ditto what Intern67 said. The real value is in creating them yourself. One of my A & P professors told us that we should spend a good amount of time drawing the structures we were trying to...

  5. Nursing or Accounting?

    Kundera replied to morerobert's topic in General Students

    Lol, you are helping people when you are an accountant! If I were you, I would think about what type of work environment you would feel the most comfortable. There is a lot of chaos in nursing, but if...

  6. Online A&P-- does anyone accept it?

    Kundera replied to Anise1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking an online a&p class and I LOVE it! The class is accepted by all our local community college programs, private universities, as well as our local teaching hospital's nursing and...

  7. Is this too many courses???

    Kundera replied to Misslady113's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, if the math is a developmental math course, I would definitely wait on the chemistry. Chemistry teachers usually warn you that math skills are what hold people back and keep them from doing...

  8. nursing vs medicine

    Kundera replied to kcerwniart's topic in General Students

    Yes, give yourself some time to figure out what it is you REALLY want! If you will be embarrassed to say you are a nurse, then nursing is probably a poor choice for you. Does the idea of giving...

  9. Accelerated A&P at PSU

    Kundera replied to RunnerGirl09's topic in Oregon Nursing

  10. Accelerated A&P at PSU

    Kundera replied to RunnerGirl09's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I took A&P I at PSU during fall term and it was a very, very difficult class. You are learning the information at a higher level than the classes taught at the local community colleges. On the...

  11. what degree path to take: Associates or Bachelors

    Kundera replied to md714's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would go BSN. It is getting harder and harder to make it in this world with less than a bachelors

  12. Denied funding - resolution of excess hours

    Kundera replied to krimicrat's topic in General Students

    I assume that you are trying to receive financial aid from a community college? To my knowledge, most universities will give you a federal financial aid loan for any "post-bac" classes that you want...

  13. Is my career ruined before it began?

    Kundera replied to ize4love's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Will your new employer ask to see all of the prescription medications you are "taking"? I doubt it. Also, most drug screens only test for heroin, pot, cocaine, the illegal stuff. Employers are not...

  14. Did I screw up for good?

    Kundera posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am a university student who is about to graduate with a bachelors degree in a liberal arts field. A few years ago I started taking a few nursing pre-reqs. I got a "B" in my A&P I class at a...

  16. Brilliant in lecture, Horrible in LAB....

    Kundera posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am taking A&P II this summer. We just had our first test in lab, and I am really dissapointed in myself because I got a "C". I feel like something is wrong with me! I have no trouble getting an...

  18. Calling yourself a "nurse"

    Kundera replied to Jamie2887's topic in General Nursing

    YOU know what you have gone through to get into nursing school, so why are you letting other people's behavior get to you? What does it have to do with

  20. Hospital Policy re: parents not allowed NB procedure?

    Kundera replied to missjackson's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I attended my younger son's circ. I wanted to be with him. I held my pinkie in his mouth for him to suck during the procedure. The midwife had no problem with my being there. And for the record, I...

    Kundera replied to livinglighthouse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Adding to previous suggestions... In addition to taking your bachelors requirements, you could take some additional health classes offered at a community college or University. I had to put off...

  23. Happy Valley

    Kundera replied to cardiacnurse9063's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Hi! :welcome: Happy valley is a nice, quite, upper-middle class area, but the commute to OHSU is pretty long and there is a lot of traffic on the way. Your commute would probably be 45min each way, 30...
