Congrats to all who got accepted recently!

business trips, for interviews, can be a tax write off. as for mercy paying for the flight, i would like to know the answer to that too.

My interview was under the old regime. They started doing things differently once Sue left. They are struggling to fill spots because usually, it only takes 2 interview sessions (fall and spring) to fill spots. Now, they are also interviewing in July...

Getting an invite is the easy part, as they are struggling to find enough students to fill there upcoming class. Go prepared, know your stuff, having all your requirements before you go will help you. Make sure you get plenty of sleep before the inte...

You want a college degree or a diploma?

shouldn't matter as to which degree you have. i have found that experience in hospice helps you land that job. you can do your ADN and get your BSN online. Good luck!

save your money and go straight into an RN program. UALR can get you an ADN in 18 months if you qualify for their fast track. more and more hospitals are doing away with LPNs, more and more of them are also requiring a BSN. if you just want to stick ...

You did not mention those that have implanted radiation, such as those with prostate cancer. If the exposure to this is minimal, then why even have the big lead shield in the room? And if you want to be pregnant and be around ACB or MRSA then go ri...

The hospital that I work at currently has about 15 or so RN positions right now. We start new grads out with our residency program to make sure we Weed out, I mean make sure we get the right fit for both parties. The hospital, unfortunately is in LR,...

I do not know much about UAMS' program, but if you were pregnant while in school you will have to be careful with certain things. You can't be around patients who are getting radiation therapy, those with certain infections, be careful lifting, and ...

For those that want a BSN, why not go to a 2year program and then finish up the BSN online? That way you can work as an RN while getting your BSN. The online BSN program at most schools don't require clinicals. Some don't even make you take exams, ...

You should learn how to do a proper bed bath. If you have any aspirations of working in the ICU, you should know how to do your own baths. Patients will have multiple drains and tubes that can be pulled out. Some may even decline if you touch them...

I was talking about the ASN program. It is somewhat competitive. In my class, 400 people applied, 200 got in. My quality points were over a 100 and I got into the accelerated class. Based on your grades, I'm guessing you have about 76 quality poi...

All I can say is good luck finding that perfect job. While you are in nursing school, you will be required to study all the time, then class, then clinicals. Baptist places the highest demand on time because they have clinicals multiple times a wee...

acceptance is dependent on your overall quality points. two A's is a good start, but what is your overall quality points? you'll need around 80 quality points to get in. A=4 points B=3 points C=2 points multiply that by the hours of the class gives y...

My class just took hesi this past week. From what i'm hearing, about 33 % didn't pass hesi. I did pretty good (over 900) considering the scores i got after first year hesi (low 600). It's impossible to study for hesi. I had a saunders nclex book ...

study study study, listen to recordings of lectures, get with groups and study. it's do-able. mental health is not the hardest part of the program ( behind peds/ob/and critical care ), if you struggle with it, then you'll really struggle with the res...

st. vincent and baptist offer cna programs, i think they are both 3 weeks long

i went to UALR, and most of my fellow grads have past NCLEX on first try. next year they will have a BSN program, right now they are offering prereqs for the BSN program.

don't bring your phone (camera) with you to a hospital

i don't think being a male applies. at my old school, it was based on your "quality points"

that's funny. on the day of my test, after the test the lady said to me "if i were you, i'd go home and study". LoL she didn't know what she was talking about because i passed. don't sweat her comments until you see your results.

any other people passed with just one form of study material? all i used was saunders cd, didn't even read the book. used it for hesi and passed both the first time. i did about an hours worth of studying per day for 2 weeks. what saunders has taught...

griffy's, or online at freeuniforms.com i personally like landau myself, cost a little bit more but great quality

when i used saunders, it gave many questions where "notify physician" was the most appropriate answer, i also had one of these questions on Nclex and i chose to "notify physician" don't know if i got the question correct or not.
