  1. Punched in face, kicked by resident

    2011NursingStudent replied to favthing's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Ugh, that's horrible. Are you

  2. will being diagnosed with having alcohol problem affect ur license?

    2011NursingStudent replied to jaimieRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    No, you would have to give an employer permission to look at your medical records. Just don't sign any forms giving future employers permission to request your medical

  3. Can I start over with my grades?

    2011NursingStudent replied to sincerebliss's topic in General Nursing

    I think in theory you could, as long as you don't want to use any of those classes ever again. (Did you take COM101 or anything like that? You'd have to take it again....) Not sure about the nursing...

  4. ADN Fall 2011 Hopefuls!!!

    2011NursingStudent replied to VannVann2008's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We don't find out if we got in to our community college program (very competetive for 40-50 spots) until March 22nd. I don't know how I'm going to wait that long!!! I'm going nuts

  5. Forgetting CNA Skills... =(

    2011NursingStudent posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm a little nervous about when I do start nursing school (hopefully August, if I get in...) that I will have forgotten some CNA skills. For example, I do not remember how to make the bed correctly. I...

  6. Forgetting CNA Skills... =(

    2011NursingStudent replied to 2011NursingStudent's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hm, somehow I think I'll be just fine. The fact that I've managed a 5 office network for the last 7 years just might give future employers a little insight into the fact that I'm not lazy, and am a...

  7. Forgetting CNA Skills... =(

    2011NursingStudent replied to 2011NursingStudent's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks very much!! And I'll be going for the RN at a community college (4 semesters), but after the first two semesters I could take the LPN exam. That makes perfect sense about the beds, every place...

  8. Looking to become a nurse

    2011NursingStudent replied to Tlong24's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It is very possible, for example, my school only considers admissions test scores (TEAS), plus the score in BIO-180. GPA is not a

  9. Books...Yowza

    2011NursingStudent replied to 2011NursingStudent's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have to say, though - despite the cost, I was never excited about getting IT books in the past. Got my Microbiology book in the mail today, and I was EXCITED. (Granted, I was kind of hoping it would...

  10. Books...Yowza

    2011NursingStudent posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm only taking the pre-reqs, but most of my previous classes at this school have been IT classes. I think for IT books on average I paid maybe $150 for 3 classes a semester. Checked all the book...

  11. Could someone please explain this to me..

    2011NursingStudent replied to Melissa825's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would be soooooooooo frustrated. Don't give up. Can you take the TEAS again? It looks like that's probably what it is, 80 is really good, but they may be filling up their seats with scores over

  12. Books...Yowza

    2011NursingStudent replied to 2011NursingStudent's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    (Alright, half.com takes a cut, but its a few bucks vs like $40-50 less from the bookstore). I've had the bookstore wanting to give me $15 for something I sold on half.com for $60. The point of this...

  13. Books...Yowza

    2011NursingStudent replied to 2011NursingStudent's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yea, never sell back to the bookstore though, they have to pay you less so they can make a profit from the next person who buys it. If you list them on Half.com, that person is buying directly from...

  14. LPN grad... advice on job hunting

    2011NursingStudent replied to pnmia10's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I could be wrong, but I *think* a lot of the ads looking for medical assistants will also take LPNs, is that right? I was browsing a job board to see what was out there, and it looks like clinics,...

  15. How to pay for school??

    2011NursingStudent replied to crayons's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The only loan forgiveness program I've found is the Peace Corps, but your salary is only a few thousand a year with that, so probably the way to go is just work and pay it off. I started wanting to be...

  16. Books...Yowza

    2011NursingStudent replied to 2011NursingStudent's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'll tell you, I'm on the fence about renting books, only because in theory, if I buy a $120 book, it might still be worth $120 at the end of the semester, and I could get everything I paid back. With...

  17. Books...Yowza

    2011NursingStudent replied to 2011NursingStudent's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ...and that's on Half.com, cheapest I could find!

  18. Help. Is my outrage justified?

    2011NursingStudent replied to fairandbalanced's topic in General Students

    Top 10 Benefits of Pumpkin Seeds: Treatment of Parasites They are used in many cultures as a natural treatment for tapeworms and other parasites. Studies also show them to be effective against acute...

  19. new grad salary Question

    2011NursingStudent replied to emille's topic in General Nursing

    I think asking for the salary range beforehand is very reasonable for that reason. Although nursing is a little different than some other fields where you could probably ballpark the salary range...

  20. Anyone waiting to get into Moraine Valley's nursing program for Fall 2010?

    2011NursingStudent replied to shell4's topic in Illinois Nursing

    You should, check out the info session and then take your TEAS - it sort of tells you right on the TEAS what % of applicants to the program you scored at (80th percentile, etc) so you can get a pretty...

  21. Would your institution hire an MSN w/o BSN?

    2011NursingStudent replied to chuckster's topic in General Nursing

    Is that the case even if you have a bachelor's in a field other than

  22. Need advice on how to make resume for new grad RN.

    2011NursingStudent replied to jtanga's topic in General Nursing

    Usually schools have a free resume service - have you checked the student services dept at the school you graduated from? They probably have nice templates and would help you create a nice one at no...

  23. Can Micro and A&P1 be taken at the same time?

    2011NursingStudent replied to Kkalasa's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, I am taking both next semester - I don't think it will be that bad, my A&P is all on one day, and my micro is on two lunch

  24. Anyone waiting to get into Moraine Valley's nursing program for Fall 2010?

    2011NursingStudent replied to shell4's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I think at the last info session they said 300 applicants for 50 or 60 seats, but still no out of district students at all. They would take in district students first always, and with 300 applicants,...

  25. Anyone waiting to get into Moraine Valley's nursing program for Fall 2010?

    2011NursingStudent replied to shell4's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I already applied for Fall 2011, but I'm really nervous because they called saying I'm one of the only people that will have taken TEAS version 4 for that semester...I thought I was all set, but now...
