Good luck to you all! Don't freak out during orientation, they will run down a list of all the things that will get you kicked from the program. It will seem overwhelming and you'll have a "what have I gotten myself into" moment, but it will pass. ...

Good luck to those of you starting the program. I graduate the 2 year program in 8 days 9 hrs (not that I'm counting down), and it's been a heck of a ride. Once you're in, don't stress about grades; just do your best. There will be classes you will n...

I got in too! I was wondering if I started Fall or Spring, but it says I've been accepted to the Fall 2011 program, so I assume that means I start in Fall! I'm beyond excited and will be celebrating tonight! My congrats to everyone else who got in,...

Double check the points you calculated when you sat down with your advisor and compare them to the letter you got. It's possible they made a mistake, if so, follow up with them. I applied too, and although I'm feeling quite confident that I got in, ...

I'm not sure if that makes the wait anxiety better or worse :) Good luck to you! Hopefully we'll meet at orientation!

Really? The letter I got said not until the end of July.

First I think you need to find out how they calculate scores for entrance into nursing school. Some programs (like where I'm at), only care about the courses required for the nursing program. No other classes get factored into their GPA calculator,...

The government won't be paying anything, every taxpayer will. The mathematics of this bill make absolutely no sense to me. The dollar amount the CBO is saying this bill will cost comes out to around $3 million dollars per U.S. citizen, and that's j...

It's not the school that's setting the high standards, not really. The school has X number of seats and probably 4 times that number of students applying. The students know they have to be competitive, since only the highest scores fill the seats,...

Yes, on this I agree. But what is being proposed here goes far beyond regulating an industry, especially where the mandate that business and individuals purchase insurance or face penalties is concerned. Congress could regulate the pre-existing con...

Moral obligation and legal authority are not the same thing. I feel a moral obligation to help the homeless, but that does not mean that I have to bring them home with me.

I fail to see what the 14th amendment has to do with the question. The 14th amendment reaffirms the individual's rights as guaranteed in the Constitution. It clarifies that a person is both a citizen of the United States as well as a citizen of sta...

Yes abortion is legal. What makes it legal is the fact that the U.S. Supreme Court determined that the Federal Government does not have the authority to tell you that you can't. That's the difference.

That's easy. The 10th Amendment. "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." In other words, if the Constitution doesn't say th...

Sounds like you're advocating for a one world government type thing. No thanks! The UN can publish whatever it wants to, we're not bound by it. We have a little thing we like to call sovereignty, and I'd like to think we won't let someone give th...

I'm not yet doing clinicals, but after reading others comment on the various fluids/messes they've ended up wearing, it sounds like a good idea to bring a spare set of scrubs, just a thought.

I had sort of the same reaction when I found out on the first day in class. It honestly hadn't occurred to me how we would practice. There were 30 of us in the class and they broke us up into three groups, each group had an instructor. In each gro...

hiya Misspink, good luck with phlebotomy! I took that course during summer semester and enjoyed it more than I thought I would, although my arms had enough puncture marks to make me look like a drug addict. We were told that we will not start IVs, ...

I'm taking Physiology and Pharmacology this semester. Next semester I have to take a couple of pre-reqs I was told I didn't need to take because I have a B.A., but then found out that they're required for the program. Should be easy 4 points. Just...

I'm seriously considering taking a direct commission myself. I think Adam is referring to the AF and its reduced combat zone roles. My uncle was a Physician's Assistant attached to an infantry unit. I'm leaning towards medical evacuation.

There are some people on whom I get better results with a Blood pressure cuff instead of a tourniquet. Inflate the Bp cuff as though you were taking a Bp and leave it pumped up until you draw blood.

I'm currently taking Physiology and Pharmacology at LCC. I will be applying to the accelerated program this coming June. After talking with an adviser a few weeks ago, the cut off scores are getting higher. Since the scores are going up, students ...

As well as the term "Plutoed" (one of my favorite new words). Getting laid off can be a good thing, it's great you're looking at it that way. Don't forget about filing for unemployment (you can likely get that too). My first reaction was "that mu...
