  1. Do you need a Laptop?

    baldee replied to dfw2lax's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    $1000 is about right if you don't want it to be obsolete tomorrow. You want: Window XP OS, 2.4GHz preferably or more (2.15 GHz will work on one model), MUST be, for wireless 802 ''4965'' for 5 to 1...

  2. CNA Class Full Already?

    baldee replied to CBsMommy's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Come back to your post 2 weeks after you start CNA

  3. You Know You're A Nurse's Aide in LTC When...

    baldee replied to PianoGirl20's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    What a great thread! Now I don't have to work LTC, since I benefited from all your experiences. I owe you one!! I don't drink, but 'this Bud's for you and all you

  4. help! how to quit

    baldee replied to sophieblophie's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Remember now, you don't have the new job yet. Turnover is so high where you are at, the only reason many stay is to get the minimum 6 months experience to get a bettter job. Shuwee, what a boot camp...

  5. Did I Fail!!!

    baldee replied to iwillbanurse08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Look at the top of the Stickees on this section's page, and a poster shows how he systematically studied for it. You can take it again. Don't stress out. Everything is important in timing and all, but...

  6. Anatomy & Physiology Fall 2008

    baldee replied to CracklinRose's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Mine came in the PO Box today too. We got a new one and it weighs 20 lbs if feels like. Looking at the last books sylabus from Tortora's book, test 1 is Chapters 1 to 4 which is review from Biology...

  7. Anatomy & Physiology Fall 2008

    baldee replied to CracklinRose's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wouldn't sweat it, unless its a 5 week course; which you'd never remember a whole lot afterwards anyway. Selecting your Instructor is the main thing, and then just study. Those flash cards seem...

  8. Snapped at a nurse student last night, she had a bad case of Nursitis

    baldee replied to Tony1790's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Maybe the worst part of it all, is when the CNA's were raped by the law that lets companies NOT pay them overtime for more than 40 hours per week! I'd damn sure refuse work over 40 hours, and going to...

  9. How difficult is a CNA course?

    baldee replied to NurseBettyICU's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Its as easy as 1, 2, 3: 1 - wipe, 2 - fold, and 3 - wipe again. Just kidding, ha-ha.

  10. Algerbra

    baldee replied to dallet6's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    "the values for t are the same." BINGO, Thanks

  11. Algerbra

    baldee replied to dallet6's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Great. What about the answer of (2-3t)(19-5t)? I could see that doing the iterative method (not trial and error). It is just a rule I suppose of the double negatives, but something to be aware of...

  12. Algerbra

    baldee replied to dallet6's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    15t^2-67t+38 factors into (5t-19)(3t-2) I. Look at t^2 first combos (usually on a test it will be 1 x t^2, so this step will be eliminated) 1t, 15t -1t, -15t, 3t, 5t, -3t, -5t. II. Then look at...

  13. Please tell me I am not crazy for turning this down

    baldee replied to mommy2three2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Actually a Votech did me that way too. I was going start my income stream early, but they were just hyping me up JUST IN CASE the usual demand does not come in. I lost $200, but it was ok, as long as...

  14. Who is starting LPN in August?

    baldee replied to WhoNeedsaShot?'s topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Well darn, just had a flood of applicants and they said I'm NOT in now! Oh well, finish my pre-reqs this year for RN, and maybe next year. At least I have the best instructors set up for next...

  15. Who is starting LPN in August?

    baldee replied to WhoNeedsaShot?'s topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Yikes! Sounds like 6 hrs/night classes. Hopefully the instructors will let you out earlier to get some sleep. Good luck. School after work will give you the head-bobs (like that new Pepsi commercial,...

  16. TABE Test

    baldee replied to DaughteroftheKing's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's good. If you put labels and factor label your answer, it makes more sense rather than memorizing seperate type questions. That's the only thing I learned from Chemistry I (and nothing from Chem...

  17. It is Recommended that I take "Intro to BIO" before required science pre-req's?....

    baldee replied to NoSleepTil'...'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    And if its not required, and it don't look like you will get an 'A', keep your eye on the calender for last day to Audit class. But go to all classes, get tests (answers if can from students), and DO...

  18. Who is starting LPN in August?

    baldee replied to WhoNeedsaShot?'s topic in LPN, LVN Students

    OUCH!! I was ready to pay for my online AP I/II required class last week, and it was delayed until today. Raised it from $400 to $570! 43% increase!! Feel like I had a haymaker in the breadbasket, and...

  19. Straight 2 RN or LPN to RN?? Which is better?

    baldee replied to cancergirl24's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Its easy, now that I'm in, I'll spill the beans. The LPN gets immediate hands on expertise, which the RN may take a while to master; and reducing liabilities is enhanced with repetition expertise...

  20. I got offered a job in a Nursing Home - Should I take it?

    baldee replied to naide88's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Surprised how willing to hire you? People are pootin' by the minute, and there's a 400 lb man that's been waiting on a new CNA to shower him for 3 months! Ha ha, just kidding. Good luck on your job,...

  21. Who is starting LPN in August?

    baldee replied to WhoNeedsaShot?'s topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Hee Hee! Switched gears quick in Pre-RN and got in top Votech school. Start on-line A&P I/II Aug 11, 16 week into 8 weeks (required for PN program); Level 1, 5-10PM, Mo-Th, 10/13/08 to 01/29/09...

  22. A&P 1 Spring 08

    baldee replied to PreRN Katie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The LAST 2 posts were what makes looking on this site worth while. The psychological games of "look at me and my grades (from who knows where school)" and "I am so pitiful" are pretty much a waste of...

  23. Micro Heads Up!

    baldee replied to rayele's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What course of study are you taking? It seems like you are beyond a Summer Semester system, and are taking 4 week classes before and after the Summer. What school is this and where? Are you in China?...

  24. Students that Fail

    baldee replied to KIMMY03's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Sounds like your friend is a compasionate caring individual who will make an excellent nurse. Its not the first one over the finish line that matters. ASN or ADN nursing programs are often "much"...

  25. Has anyone researched LPN wage ranges?

    baldee posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I know different locations would be different, but from little to big city, $15/hr to $20/hr at a steady site job, and maybe a few more $ for HHA travelling? And are LPN's no OT like CNA's? I would...
