  1. Any suggestions on getting a head start

    AOX4RN replied to 2bnurseofchrist's topic in General Students

    I would say get the books Test Success and Fundamentals Success, both by Nugent and Vitale. Those are both helpful for learning how to take tests and apply critical thinking to beginners in nursing...

  2. When do/did you start clinicals?

    AOX4RN replied to cmonkey's topic in General Students

    In our program we started the fifth week and went straight through until the last week before finals. All of the subsequent semesters we will start the first

  3. Cerritos nursing program 2010

    AOX4RN replied to Addf8765's topic in California Nursing

    I think my two previous answers cover how good the school and instructors

  4. Cerritos nursing program 2010

    AOX4RN replied to Addf8765's topic in California Nursing

    Depends how hard their hard time is There are open skills lab hours all through the week and Saturdays, tutors, mentors, etc. They really pull out all the stops to help you

  5. Cerritos nursing program 2010

    AOX4RN replied to Addf8765's topic in California Nursing

    Yes the core classes required to graduate are only during the Fall and Spring semesters (with the exception of pharmacology). The other classes are "icing on the cake" type classes for documentation,...

  6. Cerritos nursing program 2010

    AOX4RN replied to Addf8765's topic in California Nursing

    It isn't a class required for the program all of the people in my class passed the TEAS with me so I don't know anyone who took NRSG 5. I know the wait is agonizing! The nice thing is when get in...

  7. Home birth in NY?

    AOX4RN replied to mree's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm not quibbling, I'm merely stating the facts and used your statement "Some homebirths do go horribly awry, usually because they're using an unlicensed midwife rather than a CNM." to do it. Not...

  8. Home birth in NY?

    AOX4RN replied to mree's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Some home births go horribly awry because sh*t happens, not because there are unlicensed midwives attending births. The study that gets the most attention for effectiveness and safety, mentioned...

  9. Online Lvn School?

    AOX4RN replied to cute-1's topic in California Nursing

    i don't think there is any such thing because you need clinical

  10. Home birth in NY?

    AOX4RN replied to mree's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I had three home births after a hospital birth (for no better reason than convenience since the hospital birth was just fine) and was hard-headed enough to tell the world and educate them

  11. Home birth in NY?

    AOX4RN replied to mree's topic in Ob/Gyn

    It's real and it's multifaceted from turf wars, certification/education wars, to $$

  12. Doula and Nursing Student?

    AOX4RN replied to Tara:)'s topic in General Students

    It's tough to do unless you have a back-up and your clients accept that as part of the contract. I'm a midwife in nursing school and have limited my practice to summer and winter break. During the...

  13. To Do: Over Summer Vacation

    AOX4RN replied to Tara:)'s topic in General Students

    Yeah, it's a series of concrete buildings with indoor-only access... for which I was happy about since it's so cold, wet, and snowy most of the year. Happy to be back in

  14. To Do: Over Summer Vacation

    AOX4RN replied to Tara:)'s topic in General Students

    When I finished the semester @ Arapahoe in Spring '07, they were just calling up people from the WL who'd been there a long time. I do remember a revamping going on, but it didn't give any more hope...

  15. To Do: Over Summer Vacation

    AOX4RN replied to Tara:)'s topic in General Students

    I moved to CO from CA in 2003 but returned in 2007. I really liked it there. What school do you go to? I did my prereqs at Arapahoe Community College and would probably still be waiting to get in...

  16. What do you wear to class?

    AOX4RN replied to cmonkey's topic in General Students

    We wear white uniforms on clinic/lab days, casual the other days. When do patient picking we either wear scrubs of our choice (not white because the staff knows when we wear white, we're on duty) or...

  17. Cerritos nursing program 2010

    AOX4RN replied to Addf8765's topic in California Nursing

    Well yeah, you'd either be drawn for Fall or Spring because those are the only options Here's the info for that class: Removing Barriers to Success in Nursing - NRSG 5 -01 (20842) Prerequisite:...

  18. Cerritos nursing program 2010

    AOX4RN replied to Addf8765's topic in California Nursing

    I would call after a week and confirm it was received, rather than call now telling them to look for it to come. They get pretty familiar with the names they come across as they put together...

  19. "W"s (Withdrawals) on Transcripts

    AOX4RN replied to nursing_hopeful's topic in California Nursing

    ...or apply for academic renewal from your school. It's basically academic "forgiveness". I had a bunch of Ds and Fs forgiven from my first attempt at school 20 years ago. They are still there on...

    AOX4RN replied to Addf8765's topic in California Nursing

    btw, what was the class listed on the paper your proctor handed

  21. Cerritos nursing program 2010

    AOX4RN replied to Addf8765's topic in California Nursing

    I think you'll have to apply again because they don't assume you're still interested or haven't gone on somewhere else. The nursing core classes are selected for you. Pharmacology isn't a core per...

  22. Cerritos nursing program 2010

    AOX4RN replied to Addf8765's topic in California Nursing

    You start off with a class called Theory and one called Fundamentals (test every Monday) and learn basic skills and scenarios for about 5 weeks, then you go to a long-term care facility for about 4...

  23. Cerritos nursing program 2010

    AOX4RN replied to Addf8765's topic in California Nursing

    Last year if you got the initial letter saying you needed to take the TEAS test, it meant you made the lottery cut for "possible admission" for Fall '09 or Spring '10. Then you needed to take the...

  24. Should RN's home address be posted on the BRN website?

    AOX4RN replied to AnnemRN's topic in California Nursing

    If I put in any random address, how would I get my new license every 2 years? Or board notices? I need to know what's happening in my

  25. Does a degree from west coast university transfer to cal state?

    AOX4RN replied to wooosp's topic in California Nursing

    I'm at a community college doing an ADN. When I'm done, I can go from ADN -> MSN/CNM with a program called Frontier (http://midwives.org/). If I have some sort of epiphany about a new calling,...
