  1. Does anyone have experience with AP or CLEP exams?

    mcs1505 replied to calibound08's topic in General Students

    I CLEPd Algebra, Biology, Human Lifespan and Development, and Sociology. Saved me a ton of money and pretty much a whole semester's worth of

  2. Accelarated programs

    mcs1505 replied to krolik's topic in General Nursing

    I'm an accelerated BSN program right now. You won't find anything online except RN to BSN programs because in order to do clinicals you need to have a preceptor since you don't have a license to...

  3. EMT-Practitioner

    mcs1505 replied to Mr. Hat's topic in General Nursing

    Mmmm, well I hope you never wind up with a condition that has you in and out of ERs for 2 years while the MDs scratch their heads, miss obvious abnormailities on CT scans, claim you're overreacting to...

    mcs1505 replied to prodromal's topic in General Nursing

    oh heck yes! I only joined back in January or February when I was waiting to hear back from nursing school and since then this has been a wealth of information from the best scrub brands, to little...

  5. EMT-Practitioner

    mcs1505 replied to Mr. Hat's topic in General Nursing

    Don't make me laugh. I am an EMT with a bachelors degree and I'm currently enrolled in an accelerated BSN program and working my ass off to stay on top of all the work. There is no possible way to...

  6. Cincinnati Children's RN Residency?

    mcs1505 posted a topic in Ohio Nursing

    Has anyone applied or gone through this program? I am extremely interested and was wondering if anyone has any inside info on getting in, or if anyone knows how competitive it is (I want to be in the...

  7. Is it OK to get a gift for my preceptor?

    mcs1505 replied to rnkalee's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't see anything wrong with it. We don't let people know how we appreciate their help often enough,

  8. NP's calling themselves MD's

    mcs1505 replied to shelly304's topic in General Nursing

    Actually PhD programs focus on nursing research and DNPs will be focusing on patient care. That's the information I've received from all the DNP programs I've researched. All of my professors,...

  9. Silver Jewelry: Risk or

    mcs1505 replied to mommalumps's topic in General Nursing

    is it real silver? Because real silver has been shown to be a natural antibiotic in certain situations due to its heavy metal properties. And I don't see any difference, germ-wise, between your...

  10. Any UF or UCF students/grads out there?

    mcs1505 posted a topic in Florida Nursing

    I've been accepted to UFs accelerated BSN program and I'm waiting to hear from UCF. I never thought I'd get into to UF so now I might have to choose between the two. Does anyone have any random...

  13. Would I make a good nurse?

    mcs1505 replied to lovemeformexox's topic in General Nursing

    Judging from your current course load I'm going to take a wild stab in the dark and guess you probably have plenty of smarts (kudos to Chem 2, I could barely stand Chem 1!) My advice to you is not to...

  14. Intraosseous

    mcs1505 replied to Dr.Nurse2b's topic in General Nursing

    In the hubbub I never got specifics, but I know they couldn't get the fluids to run so they discontinued it and just used the

  15. Intraosseous

    mcs1505 replied to Dr.Nurse2b's topic in General Nursing

    I ran in Ohio as an EMT-B and we're not allowed to do IOs but I saw one once during a cardiac arrest. They blew their first attempt at an IV and an overeager (IMO) paramedic started an IO. Only it...

  16. Should I chose accelerated or traditional program?

    mcs1505 replied to Marie1031's topic in General Nursing

    This is the exact reason I'm taking the ABSN route too. Also, I've heard of a few people whose programs weren't so intense that they couldn't work on the weekends to make a little extra. That's what...

  17. Say Hello to Dr. Nurse

    mcs1505 replied to tanthalas's topic in General Nursing

    To the whole first name/last name debate: I think a large part of this is your culture. For example: I grew up in Ohio and we generally used last names so when I moved to Florida several years ago I...

  18. Starting over in nursing

    mcs1505 replied to jennah's topic in General Nursing

    I have a BA in Psych and I'm starting an accelerated BSN program at University of Florida next month. Accelerated programs take anywhere from a year to a year and a half and are for people who...

  19. EMT Training ?

    mcs1505 replied to DaddyO's topic in General Nursing

    I ran on two services for a year and half while in college for my first degree. I LOVED it. It's actually what made me decide to pursue nursing. Most of our calls were for university kids with the...

  20. ? about latex gloves....

    mcs1505 replied to CareBayer's topic in General Nursing

    Ugh. I hate latex gloves. I ran on an ambulance service for a year and a half and we never used latex. I got used to them and now latex just feel weird, plus I'm paranoid I'll develop an allergy...

  21. Squeemishness

    mcs1505 replied to nurturer's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I couldn't deal with hearing/seeing/smelling vomit until someone I was on a roadtrip with vomited all over the van, and as I was one of the people in charge I felt it was my duty to clean it up. I've...

  22. best order to take pre-reqs

    mcs1505 replied to motherofgirls's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did Chem and A&P 1 together. Then A&P 2. Then Nutrition. Then Micro. I don't think it really matters as long as A&P 2 follows A&P 1. And having Micro after finishing both...

  24. Of all the pre-req's you've taken which was hardest

    mcs1505 replied to Piglet68's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Chem 2. I LOVE all biological sciences so A&P, micro etc. were all cake for me because I loved them so much. Chemistry tries to kill me every time I look at it. It took the most amount of...

    mcs1505 replied to Gannon1qb's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was just remembering when I first became an EMT. I was accepted on our university squad, which was very selective, and I was so sure that as soon as we had a call come in they would all realize...
