Okay, I tried to make the title of the thread as specific as possible. What does it mean if a school is accredited by neither the NLNAC or CCNE, but is on the list of "Approved" nursing programs from your state's board of nursing. I know that you ...

Yeah...I'd like to know as well. Thanks!

Thank you to all of you for your replies. Several of you raised some very valid points that I hadn't considered. I was concerned because there are about 4 programs that I am considering transferring into and 2 of them seem to not be accredited. One...

Thanks for replying Molly. What if you already have your license in the state that you reside. I live in SC, so if I chose to attend this school and took the boards in this state, wouldn't I be able to get a license in another state based on recip...

Thank you very much trakstar. Honestly, I thought that they would look at your cumulative GPA, and in that case, if I don't return and take advantage of the academic forgiveness opportunity, it would be fairly low. Even if I continue my current tr...

Okay, during my first couple of undergraduate semesters (as a psych major about 5 years ago), I did horrible, and I was actually placed on academic suspension from the university. Although I am eligible to return to that school, I choose to pursue m...

LOL...yeah, that's what the ED doc said. He said, "Oh shyt, I don't think we can handle this one, somebody dispatch LifeReach so they can take them over to the trauma center." :rotfl:

Honestly, we did think about it one evening after flipping through the book "What's the number for 911?" :chuckle

The patients at our ED have to write their own cheif complaint...we have a running sheet of some of the stuff we've seen: "cis on ris" (cyst on wrist) "burned lip from salt and vinegar tater chips" "car wreak" "throwing up and its sour" "nik and back...

THANK YOU!!!

Hello! I did a search here for Admissions Stats, which didn't return what I was looking for. I wanted to know if there was a site similar to http://www.mdapplicants.com that gave admission stats for schools of nursing anesthesia. I have my list nar...

I just wanted to bump this back up to the top. I'm having one of those frustrating weeks, and I needed some motivation.

Are you at Florence-Darlington Tech? I'm looking into their program because I'm looking to change schools (long story).

Cay, there are several ADN throughout the state...to what part are you looking to relocate? I am in Columbia, and here there is Midlands Technical College (http://www.midlandstech.edu). There is Florence Darlington Tech right outside of Florence, Ce...

Um, maybe you should re-read her post and take into consideration a thing called sarcasm . I think it was a great post as well!

Yeah, she was a jerk. I'm considering going to another school, because I just don't feel good about that school and the so-called support staff there. My mom says I shouldn't let her run me off, because it actually is a good program. I just can't ...

I'm not a nurse yet, but I do work in the Emergency Dept. If you EVVVER are walking down the street and see "2 dudes", you better run! Those "2 dudes" are responsible for more mayhem that you'd ever know! Don't ever stand on the corner at 2 am an...

You guys don't know how much I needed to read this. I started college as a Psych major at USC in 1998, went three semesters and ended up on academic suspension due to poor performance (lack of motivation, and several extenuating circumstances). I s...

thanks for responding!

hello!! i figured, i'd add this here since it's relevant. i am currently 'just' a nursing student, but i am also a full time hospital employee. i am interested in begining in surgical trauma icu nursing, and eventually moving into anesthesia....

hey everyone, i just had a scenario that i wanted to get a poll on. for those of you that received your adn with intentions to pursue your bsn immediately after, did you have your family come to your adn graduation ceremony? i am asking because mo...

I have heard of the "FLK" also, but the one that got me was a when I was working bed control at the trauma hospital. A resident called (this wasn't common practice, the ER clerk usually just faxed over the pt's info), but this resident called to get...

Betts, where did you get this question? Good question, good practice for a student for the NCLEX. Although I have to say that I agree with the previous poster that suggested that this be moved to the student forum...I think it may be more well rec...

:chuckle

My sentiments exactly!!! When environmental services come around at around 5am to clean my ER lobby, he brings me AT LEAST 30 10-page 'booklets' of the "Notice of Privacy Practices". Most of our patients don't care anyway! If they were so concerne...
