  1. is anyone going to Medical Careers Institute in Richmond VA??

    TypeA replied to evtykylu's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I don't think VCU has an LPN-RN program. They start at BSN. I would call Susan Lipp (Admissions Director @ VCU SON) and ask her if this is your plan. She is straight forward in most things. IMHO...

  2. Compression hose/socks

    TypeA replied to abigrace's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I LOVE compression socks (knee-high)!! I use the mid "strength" compression...my legs/feet feel SOOOOOOOO much better when I wear them. I have never tried the full length ones, but nurses that I...

    Sorry you had such a bad shift. This got me right in the

  4. microbiology or physiology harder?

    TypeA replied to motherofgirls's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had a med school prof for Physiology and it was HARD. But, I LOVED it. I have a fairly easy prof for Micro and it is only difficult because it bores the heck out of me. (I am not very motivated...

  5. nurses under the care of a psychiatrist

    TypeA replied to tolerantgirl's topic in General Nursing

    This brings up another question (not meaning to hijack the thread). How does the BON look at nurses/nursing students who have been psych inpatients? I imagine that it would raise a red flag, but...

  6. If you could study before A & P I, what would you have done to get ahead before it??

    TypeA replied to vizzle's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Netter's Atlas of Human Anatomy.

    TypeA replied to vizzle's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Those coloring books don't cover much. I wouldn't waste my

  8. Anatomy - Spring 2009 - What to Study?

    TypeA replied to smellyacres's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Like I replied on another thread...get a Netter's and start learning. Learn the structures (I recommend learning by body region) ie nerves, bones, muscles. If you can get the origins and insertion...

  9. If you could study before A & P I, what would you have done to get ahead before it??

    TypeA replied to vizzle's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Grab a Netter's Anatomy and start learning. Netter's will have way more than you need to know but has everything. Once you get the structures (bones, muscles, origins/insertions, organs, etc.) down...

  10. Do you wear your seatbelt

    TypeA replied to Iam46yearsold's topic in Emergency

    I have always worn my seatbelt. My husband hasn't always worn his and I nagged him. It paid off significantly a couple of years ago when we were in a pretty bad accident...through a light pole and...

  11. Since we were talking about birth plans....

    TypeA replied to WVUturtle514's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Why was the cord issue a

  12. Working after breast augmentation/implants.

    TypeA replied to twilight85's topic in General Nursing

    I had the opposite done...breast reduction. But, still the same part of the body. From what I understand a reduction is far more invasive than augmentation (I have NEVER considered augmentation....

  13. VCU accelerated summer 2009. Anyone hear anything yet?

    TypeA replied to keatonhoyle's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I hand delivered mine on Dec. 1 and the poor woman in the admissions office was a bit swamped with applications. Apparently, that stack had just come in. I know people heard before Feb of last year,...

  14. Nursing with a latex allergy?

    TypeA replied to MIcrunchyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am a PCT/EMT/nursing student who is allergic to latex. My co-workers have been nothing but helpful. I don't run into a lot of problems though. Most supplies are now made w/o latex and we have...

  15. Associate degree of nursing with Bachelor degree in another fileld

    TypeA replied to greenland's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yes, this is possible. I was looking at it recently. VCU is just one of the schools that offers the program. Here's the link: http://www.nursing.vcu.edu/students/prospective.html then click on...

  16. Anyone starting @ VCU this summer?

    TypeA replied to pshs_2000's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I can't really give out my stats, etc. I work at VCUHS and I have traveled somewhat of an unusual route and don't want to take the risk of one of my co-workers identifying me. I am a career changer....

  17. Anyone starting @ VCU this summer?

    TypeA replied to pshs_2000's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I see that this thread hasn't gotten much action. For those of you who have begun the program, how competitive was it to get in? How do you like it so far? I just made the decision not to go to...

  18. Attention all EMTs

    TypeA replied to Christie RN2006's topic in General Nursing

    Have you considered bridging to EMT-P (this is an option for RNs)? It would probably be a lot more challenging and enjoyable for you. Some states allow it, some do not. In those that don't, you can...
