  1. I've read on here about col, pay etc..but what's the city like? Nice place to live? I know a lot of music stuff, is it safe? Clean? Bad traffic? Friendly people?
  2. Thanks everyone! I couldn't decide whether or not to do NC 5 before or after the baby comes - I couldn't decide when I would be more brain dead!! Guess we'll find out. Thanks again!
  3. I get that I can do the NC exams out of order, but does that include NC7? I am doing NC 4 next week, and the way things are going I would only be able to squeeze in one more exam before the baby comes...
  4. Thanks! It'll be our second boy.
  5. Sweet - found a stupid answer to my stupid question. Going to do NC 7 next. Ignore me please!!!
  6. Is getting into a nursing school easy in other countries?

    And actually I am hearing now there are wait times for the RPN program as well. I did one in Ontario (ptbo) with no wait time, just a lot of pre-req's from HS, but that was 6 or so years
  7. Dropping out of 4th semester nursing

    Sweet Caroline, I hear ya sister on the immune probs. The same women in my family also have a slew of auto-immune probs, all of which are more tolerable with changes we've made to our diets. The most...
  8. Dropping out of 4th semester nursing

    Ps. ..Also, it's not necessarily what you don't eat, it's what you DO eat. Eat whole grains, fresh produce, and less processed meats - obviously in general, the more processed it is, the worse it is...
  9. Dropping out of 4th semester nursing

    I realize that. I have read that if you consume wheat for a week or two and then get tested it will show up. I've tried. I have 2 aunts, my mother and sister who also have the same problem, so we've...
  10. Dropping out of 4th semester nursing

    Seriously, try changing your diet. I developed "IBS" in my 3rd semester of LPN school and it was terrible. On top of the bowel probs I felt like it was getting harder and harder to focus and stay...
  11. Healthcare-Bad economy

    I think it depends on the area. I lived in northeast UT where there was/is a lot of gas and oil work going on, therefore a lot of highly paid tradesmen in town, and it was hard for the area to keep up...
  12. OH SWEET. Am I ever glad I found this thread! I was thinking of putting off an exam because we can't really afford the $65, plus gas, plus a sitter when we are moving in a couple of weeks.... but now...
  13. Newborn Hypoglycemia Protocols?

    So sad. I understand doing what needs to be done, I just wish patients/people had more opportunity to make better informed decisions, in this sort of situation, and also regarding their general...
  14. Ky Excelsior Students

    Ok, relieved to hear that KY takes EC grads - we're moving there in two weeks... although I have much longer than that before I graduate, but ssh. Any conditions to being able to pracitice? Hours...
  15. Any Excelsior Grads From Kentucky

    The money for the EC practice exams are worth every penny! Many of the questions are very similar... :) Good luck! NC 1 is pretty straight forward, common sense sort of stuff. Cheers,
  16. Newborn Hypoglycemia Protocols?

    If that was my baby I'd refuse THAT many sticks! Geeze - poor little
  17. oh great! I have kept my license active.
  18. Hi, I have been out of work for nearly 3 years as well (God its gone by fast) to stay at home with a child. I have been doing an adn RN program for the past year, and actually re-did and passed the...
  19. If it matters I had been working for about a
  20. Let us know what they say
  21. What The Bleep Happened To The Shortage?

    Thats funny - I am Canadian. I still have an active RPN license in Ontario. Trust me I'd be up there if it weren't for my husband!
  22. What The Bleep Happened To The Shortage?

    Anyone know where we find out about what is happening in which area of the country? I will graduating next summer and we are wanting to buy a house in upstate NY. Not going to move there if I can't...
  23. Hey all, not sure if this is the right place, but I thought I'd ask your thoughts on recycling unused meds. I am not an expert on the topic, just absolutely amazed that I can't really find...
  24. We haven't been here long, but I am really enjoying Glenwood Springs. Nice hospital - Valley View Hospital. Good
  25. Ideas for health care/nursing dual major?

    Public health? Depends on what sort of nursing work you are interested
