  1. Chamberlain School of Nursing

    Brookes1129 replied to EBT67's topic in General Nursing

    I have also heard some not-so-good things about their ADN On-Line program, and I am pretty sure that is what they have lost their accred. in. I know a few people and they go to Chamerlain in the BSN...

    Brookes1129 posted a topic in General Students

    :twocents::twocents:Just an assessment of how much it costs for a nursing degree these days. How much do YOU have in student loans??? The whole bit: living expenses, books, clinical fees, all the...

  3. "Sorry, I can't... I have to study!"

    Brookes1129 posted a topic in General Students

    Is anyone else having a hard time with that sentence? "Sorry, I can't... I have to study?" I swear this has been the only thing I say to people outside of school! I know we have to take down time, but...

    Brookes1129 replied to Brookes1129's topic in General Students

    Thanks for all your words of advise! It really makes me feel better!! I never thought of the silver lining.... I can use the "Sorry, I can't... I have to study" excuse to get out of things I don't...

  5. HELP! Having trouble in fundamentals and need advice!

    Brookes1129 replied to punkindoodl's topic in General Students

    Before my first Fundamentals exam, I asked my professor to tell me how she would study for this exam. Her advise was very helpful (she is the one who wrote the test after all) and I ended up getting...

  6. Ideas on applying to St Louis Hospitals

    Brookes1129 replied to carlarenee02's topic in General Nursing

    I was under the impression that clinical hours also include the time spent in the lab... so, I will have to call and check with St. John's because I was planning on getting a job there over winter...

  7. I have a question. HELP!

    Brookes1129 replied to LindseyAF's topic in General Students

    I have been told by my clinical instructors to get the 8 hours you need to sleep the night before, eat a balanced breakfast and do not lock your knees! But, I think all of us have had a time where we...

  8. Nursing student and over weight

    Brookes1129 replied to intensity_too's topic in General Students

    I am also a XL student nurse. The WORST thing is when you have to get sized for scrubs. But, this day and age, somewhere, everywhere is someone who has a little extra "junk in the trunk!" So, dont let...

  9. Nursing Diagnosis For Diabetes Mellitus

    Brookes1129 replied to babyluv08's topic in General Students

    In the Ackley Nursing Dx Handbook, the first 50 pages or so is an index with common diseases listed. You can look of DM and see what fits your patient the best. I glanced at it and it looks like...

  10. Microbiology OR Intro to Chemistry???

    Brookes1129 replied to chuff's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Micro is important when you take Patho because they are going to go back to things you learn in that class like immunity, pathogenic vs. nonpathogenic, etc. So, it is important to have that under your...

  11. Ideas on applying to St Louis Hospitals

    Brookes1129 replied to carlarenee02's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, you can bypass St. John's training program if you have 80 hours of clinical time completed, which you generally do after your first clinical semester. I was told this by the recruiter for...

  12. Distance learning question???? BSN or ASN which one I'm so confused!

    Brookes1129 replied to SoCyncere's topic in General Nursing

    Another thing to keep in mind. Beginning 2015, you will actually need your doctorate to be a NP. I am currently in Fundamentals and my teacher advised us of this upcoming change. Remember that means...

  13. UMSL or Community college

    Brookes1129 replied to AngelaChanel24's topic in General Nursing

    Right, the one night per week is only from RN-BSN. If I were in your position, Angela, I would def meet with an academic advisor either at UMSL, or a community college. This way you can begin to...

    Brookes1129 replied to AngelaChanel24's topic in General Nursing

    If you want to work as a LPN or a CNA, you still have to complete some type of training program at the a Sanford Brown College. If you really want to pursue your RN, this is not the way to go. The PCA...

  16. Barnes Accelerated vs. SLU?

    Brookes1129 replied to rg4120's topic in General Nursing
