Hiya everyone. Just wanting to check in and see if there is anyone else out there currently attending Grayson. I hear rumors all the time and just wondered if I anyone knew what the cutoff for the points were for the past couple of semesters? I he...

Plus, I had heard many many stories my whole life that centered around the funny and sometimes crazy tactics that residents would pull, but was I ready for what lies ahead? I went on to C.N.A. training and completed the course in what seemed lik...

I know this is an old thread but thought I would bump it up and see if anyone else has any weight loss experience with topamax. I am starting this drug today. My doctor prescribed it because I do have migraines but he mainly prescribed for weight l...

I would take them both together with no hesistation. Micro has been sooooo easy. I have taken Chem and it was easy too. In my micro class Chem was not a pre-req and honestly there was not much chem to it at all (don't know if that is just my school...

A lady in my Micro class just graduated in Aug as a LVN. She is working at our local hospital and was hired to float. She said she has loved all the experience but it has been extremely hard and most nights she is sick to her stomach before work. S...

I am wondering if I did the right thing. Here is the backstory. My husband's mother and stepfather are going through a homestudy because they are trying to get custody of their niece (my husband's cousin). Well the lady doing the homestudy called ...

My MIL called my DH tonight at work and told him that CPS came today but that they didn't find anything and said they are cleared. She also told him that my BIL got a job driving a truck and is leaving on Monday and that his wife is going to move in...

Yes it is very hard to make these decisions. I come from a family that is fairly normal, yet still dysfunctional in its own ways, but nothing like DH family. He doesn't want to live like them at all but I know he is torn because he loves them all s...

I have witnessed them smoking marijuana in front of the children. I am ashamed to say that I did not call CPS then. I know that I should have and at that point I didn't want to get involved. I guess the reason that I have had a change of heart is ...

Thank you all for you support. When my husband got home from work last night he told me that he did not tell his mother what I said. What he told her is that both he and I have concerns and that we were not going to lie for them or hide anything. He...

I have no ill feelings towards my in-laws at all, in fact they are wonderful caring people. The problem is that they do not have the skills needed to care for "Sally". They currently get her on the weekends and are at their wits ends by the time sh...

Sorry but performing CNA stuff in clinical is nothing like actually taking care of 20 patients on your own as a CNA.

Thank you for explaining why it is that you might call a CNA into a room to clean a patient. You are busy!!! I think alot of CNA's might not get that and just think you are lazy when that is not the case at all. I am glad to hear someone finally gi...

I agree with you. A CNA that thinks that way is definitely way off course. There is so much more that a nurse does and the stress of knowing a life is in your hands...oh my! But being a CNA is hard work (we all agree on that here) and I can't wait ...

Congrats on getting accepted!

Thanks for the update. Good luck in your position. So, did you decide to stay with the UC job?

Ewww...I just picture her sitting there eating it. Did she ask for some milk to dip it into? J/k LOL I know I am sick.

First off here in Texas there is no contract that is signed when you work a job. This is a right to work state and there is absolutely no contract involved. And why would you think it has to be written in rule that you can't fall asleep at clinical...

Well said. AMEN to that. :clphnds:

Well on Tuesday night I figured out both of my unkowns! I have Staphylococcus Epidermidis and Escherichia Coli. We still have Thursday night to complete everything so I get a night off from lab! Yipee!!!

Wow, I am so sorry to hear you are getting negative feedback. I have found the opposite to be true. I hear how wonderful nursing is, how much money I will make, how I get to work just 3 days a week, etc. The people that I talk to think that NS is ...

I know that you are not a nurse but I just wanted to say that I work for an agency that staffs nurses in hospitals. Our nurses normally have a day of orientation where they do not perform any direct patient care. Well we had one case where a nurse ...

I know it all depends on the student but I just wanted to hear what everyone thinks about taking both Patho and Pharm together in the same semester? Here is my situation. I am finishing up Micro and A&P II this fall semester (almost done yeah!). ...

I would not advise doing this because it can get you kicked out if they find about it. And they can find out if you attended anywhere else. How, well when you applied to the school you are at now you probably included any grades you had elsewhere an...

Very doable. I took this in a condensed form as well and easily made an A. It was a very easy class. Some reading yes, but it was open book tests since they were online and so you really just had to previes the chapters before the test so you knew...
