hello everyone, for my nursing seminar class i am to discuss with someone regarding certification and write a short post for my nursing classmates to read. i am looking for any nurses who are certified to discuss with me the pros and cons of certific...

I had never heard about the hospital's premium for malpractice decreasing -- interesting! Thanks for the post!

I never brought my laptop to class... BUT, I feel like I spent a ton of time on my laptop outside of class. So, if you like to study at the library and like everything on your computer at your fingertips, then it would be a good idea. Otherwise, I ...

I feel like I just started...but there are only 46 days of school left (including weekends). I finally am seeing the light at the end of the LPN tunnel and can't wait to start my last year to get my RN. Goodluck with finals everyone! :)

hi everyone, so i have been working on a care plan and i am just not quite sure if i am going in the right direction. i'll share what i have thus far, if anyone could give input on what i have and what i'm missing that would be wonderful! case study...

So I have been working on re-doing my nursing diagnoses (thanks for the help :) ) and I am trying to reprioritize them. Here is what I have: 1) Deficient fluid volume (because you can't live without water) 2) Acute Pain (physiological comfort issue) ...

Sorry, I meant four nursing diagnoses :) :bowingpur

I have been working on a paper for school about healthcare and the election in November. It made me curious as to what other nurses and nursing students thought about the candidate's healthcare issues. Let me know what you think - I would love to h...

There is an ethical issue with Izzie Stevens dating/engaged to a patient. That's the only one I can think of off the top of my head.

Good luck with your endeavor! It will be well worth it when you quit :)

Hello everyone! Sounds like everyone is getting through finals alright! Just thought I would post my goal of 30 lbs. since I'm starting after my final on May 1st (probably should be held accountable for this! :) ). Speaking of summer classes, mine...

So your story sounds EXACTLY like mine. I took the same courses in High School, wasn't really sure of what I wanted to do with my life. The only difference is is that I LOVED Chemistry (5 semester of it did me in though). I always thought I wanted...

Definitely. I'm planning on wearing a bikini for sure. :)

I would love to join all of you on your weight loss mission...I have PLENTY of weight to lose. I read everything that has been posted so far and have suddenly become motivated. I need to get through finals (may 1st) then I will start. Hope everyon...

I'm a big user of campusi.com. It searches all the sites for the best prices and such :)

I would take Developmental Psychology for sure (I thought it was fairly easy and would make a good condensed course). Anatomy and Physiology is a lot to cram into the summer when you are working full time, but if you are ambitious I would say get on...

I have a Cardiology III and so does my mother...we both love them :) But it's rather personal opinion than anything.

Oh yeah, There is another private school in Des Moines...Mercy College of Health Sciences. I sat and thought about other schools and Iowa after I posted that...I know you are thinking Des Moines but I think I saw that you were from Nebraska? I know...

The only 4 year school in the Des Moines Area is Grandview College. DMACC has quite a few campuses around Des Moines, but they only offer a 2 year degree (I'm going to DMACC). Iowa mainly has just 2 year schools with the exception of Allen, Univers...

I don't believe there are any accelerated BSN programs near Des Moines, nor even in the state of iowa. Sorry.

Pretty much any private loan that is not offered by the school can be used to cover COA and above. Most are upto about $40,000 total per year. Good luck :)

When I memorized them, the easiest way to memorize skull bones was to learn the major bones first. Don't worry about all the little bones, just the major ones. Then just make categories of the rest of them. Just do small amounts at a time - don't loo...

I think it's hard for everyone to adjust to college studied. I still have trouble studying and I've been in college for almost 3 years. I agree with the above post that organization is necessary. What I find most important is to schedule when I'm g...

My mother, who is a RN, has the same problem and bought the Cardiology III when in school. Just a thought. She swears by it and bought be one for Christmas, even though I can hear fine out of a cheap one.

I went with a Chase private loan. I had a co-signer, which with my good credit and my mothers good credit, were able to get about a 7% APR (which is good for private loans). Definitely look into it - it was a very simple process and they can pre-ap...
