  1. RN to Paramedic in Canada

    Rhone replied to fhcp1220's topic in International Nursing

    Regarding the first question, I don't know how different it may be in Canada (I'm in the U.S.), and I'm no expert on the subject even here, but I think importance of school prestige really depends on...

  2. Any nursing schools in my area?

    Rhone replied to mel25's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I doubt you'll find a program with no pre-reqs... if you do, it will probably be a very expensive private school. Here are links to approved nursing programs on the DC Board of Nursing and VA Board of...

  3. Greater Baltimore Medical Center

    Rhone replied to Penelope_Pitstop's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Sounds like a rough experience... you'd think, in a unit like that, they'd do more to get new staff settled in. Thanks again for the info, I appreciate it. I think if I don't get into the LPN...

  4. Took my TEAS

    Rhone replied to Leomom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took my TEAS a little over a week ago and did well (93.5%), but I'm still stressing over whether I'll get in the LPN program I'm applying to. I haven't taken A&P yet (will be taking both this...

  5. Greater Baltimore Medical Center

    Rhone replied to Penelope_Pitstop's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Thanks for the info! I'm curious (if you have time to explain) what happened in the Med/Psych unit that made it a disaster for you? Was it the attitude of the staff there, or was the workload...

  6. Greater Baltimore Medical Center

    Rhone replied to Penelope_Pitstop's topic in Maryland Nursing

    What is it like working in their "Nursing Student" position? I was thinking if I don't get into CCBC's LPN program for this fall (I have good grades and high TEAS score but haven't had A&P yet...

  7. what are the requirements?

    Rhone replied to rtray's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'll echo what the above posters said... the LPN school I'm applying to has 5 "non-nursing" classes that are supposedly taken during the program, concurrently with the nursing courses: English Comp I...

  8. Okay... so I might be crazy...

    Rhone replied to serendipity123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My Summer: A&P 1 (first 5 weeks) A&P 2 (second 5 weeks) Microbiology (full 10

  9. RN to BSN, what is the benefits?

    Rhone replied to tetons77's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I don't think it's very common, but there are some RN-to-MS programs out there. For example, here's a link to the page for University of Maryland's RN-to-MS program:...

  10. LPN Schools

    Rhone replied to jwar123's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    No, I didn't mean to suggest that the LPN programs aren't accredited. LPN programs have to be accredited just like RN programs (well, they do if you want to be eligible to take the NCLEX PN). Here in...

  11. LPN Schools

    Rhone replied to jwar123's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Yep! There are some ADN programs that allow you to get an LPN half way through the program, but most ADN programs do not offer that option and most LPN programs are separate from ADN

  12. aaaahhhhh! should i leave now?

    Rhone replied to aeolus's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Wow, the negativity in this thread is entirely unnecessary. From reading these forums, I've seen people recommend going straight to ADN (instead of LPN first) or straight to BSN (instead of ADN first)...

  13. What to study for TEAS

    Rhone replied to Lajimolala's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, definitely be prepared to have to use the scratch paper to solve some problems... for example, the very first question on my TEAS required finding the average of several 5-digit numbers... so I...

  14. TEAS Test

    Rhone replied to caryannw's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took the TEAS last Saturday here in Baltimore, but since the test is from ATI I don't think it would vary from state to state. Honestly, I thought the questions on the actual test were much EASIER...

  15. Preparing to take AP

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

    Yeah, I decided to do something that a counselor at the school I'm applying to tried to talk me out of--I'm taking, over the summer, A&P 1 in the first five weeks, A&P 2 in the second 5 weeks,...

  16. What to study for TEAS

    Rhone replied to Lajimolala's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For Math: Along with the stuff you listed, for Algebra you should know how to solve equations for variables, and how to set up equations for word problems. Know how to factor. For Geometry, you...

  17. Entire ER crew will go to mandatory retreat

    Rhone replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think a retreat could be a good thing if it's presented as a bit of a gift/thank-you to the staff--e.g. "you've all been working so hard, so we're going to take you on a retreat so you can have fun,...

  18. University of Maryland or Johns Hopkins?

    Rhone replied to teenybug2000's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I would say that if you: 1) Can afford it, 2) Can stop working and devote all your time to the program, and 3) Want to be an RN ASAP then go to JHU. Otherwise I would suggest UMD, but I would also...

  19. the RN's appearance

    Rhone replied to Olli's topic in General Nursing

  20. phantom limb pain

    Rhone replied to Ms.RN's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, that's the treatment I referred to that is mentioned at the end of the Wikipedia article I linked to. The tool used is called a Mirror Box: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror_box...

  21. What NOW???????????

    Rhone replied to OLIVIALEN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I suspect, above all else, that they are attempting to assess whether you would successfully complete the program and go on to pass the NCLEX exam. They have to pay their instructors to teach the...

  22. What NOW???????????

    Rhone replied to OLIVIALEN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Looks like you're already doing what I was going to suggest. Are there any other LPN programs in the area you could apply to as well, since there are only 20 spots in that

  23. phantom limb pain

    Rhone replied to Ms.RN's topic in General Nursing

    Obligatory Wikipedia link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phantom_limb Some novel treatments are mentioned toward the

  24. Am I Too Old?

    Rhone replied to Gambln00's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you have community colleges, then you most likely have ADN (Associate Degree in Nursing) RN programs. They're all over! The hard part is getting in--most of them have many more people applying...

  25. Am I Too Old?

    Rhone replied to Gambln00's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know many people older than I have already responded, but I'll add in that I'm about to turn 30 in a couple months and I'm in the middle of applying to an LPN program... with the intention of doing...
