  4. You're right. I've thought of leaving for a while but havent made the effort-esp with this economy. But I really do have to at least try to see what else is out there. Thank
  5. I couldnt agree with you more about disliking powerpoint. Too many professors use it to cover what they have to teach w/o being able to explain the material themselves. I had one prof, wiht a master...
  6. I had professors who read material and took notes and posted them on power point and that was our lecture (regurgitation). There were a lot of mistakes-content, grammer, spelling. some of it was...

    Just wondered how you find it. -What are the hours over the weekend? Its T,Th,F 5:30 to 8:30, right? -Is it very intense -time consuming? If anyone has done any RN semesters at AACC, how does it...
  12. I didnt use Saunders myself,I should have. It was a recommendation from a wonderful nurse who graduated from AACC around last yeae. She said the questions for exams are similar to the questions in...
  13. From the semester and a bit that I completed I can advise this: Try to get enough sleep, though that will be tough. Try to do as much exercising as you can even 15 mins a day. You will need it as a...

    What is MPLS? VAMC- Veterans hospital?-I heard they are good to work for in Maryland for no-lift
  21. No lift policy

    That must be so frustrating. From what I understand you can hurt your back just as easily as someone smaller framed, less muscle mass etc and yet they always call you cause your the guy! Apparently...
  22. No lift policy

    Is the policy really followed. can you refuse to lift the pts that shouldnt be lifted according to the guidlines you mentioned. If so I think that sounds encouraging. Here you hurt your back and the...
  23. I was working as a CNA in Assisted living and hurt my back. Probably just muscle strain because the psin is under control for the most part. Too prescription NSAIDS and for 3 wks and it's pain almost...
