  1. Lpn then RN??

    TheSquire replied to Nurse Rodriguez's topic in General Students

    If you're out in bufu this is a viable career option. If you're in a major metropolitan area, just go and get your RN first through an ADN or BSN program - there's not much call for LPNs in larger...

  2. DESPERATE HELP

    TheSquire replied to studentnurse555's topic in General Students

    For Chicago, check the Chicago City Colleges, UIC, Rush, West Suburban, and North Park (which everyone forgets

  3. Can diabetic educators be fat?

    TheSquire replied to Heinz beans's topic in General Students

    Behold the technical differences between "can" and "should". A diabetic educator can be overweight/obese; whether or not they should be is a separate

  4. L&D, Postpartum, Women's Health = DREADFUL

    TheSquire replied to craigm's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Sadly this is not the case. While a good attitude is required, there are still OB units (and clinical instructors) who are rather hostile to men, no matter what the student's approach to the rotation...

  5. DePaul's MENP questions

    TheSquire replied to bcxllady's topic in Illinois Nursing

    My understanding is that DePaul doesn't ask for recommendations because your undergrad GPA and the reputation of your undergraduate institution largely speak for themselves. As for 'competitive', see...

  6. DePaul MENP

    TheSquire replied to francesB's topic in Illinois Nursing

    You should hear from DePaul shortly after the deadline for admissions, after the committee has met to go through applications. Depending on what your definition of "decent" is, as long as you have...

  7. L&D, Postpartum, Women's Health = DREADFUL

    TheSquire replied to craigm's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I'm not having issues at all. Then again, a guy's experience in OB comes down to attitudes - his, his instructors, and those of the staff at the clinical site. A male student has to want to learn...

  8. What is my process for APN?

    TheSquire replied to snowflake13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    He or she probably did have a masters, or possibly a clinical doctorate - academic degrees are frequently left off of many institutions' name

  9. What is my process for APN?

    TheSquire replied to snowflake13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    An APN has a masters degree at a minimum. You'll get there by getting your BSN and RN, getting some experience (at least a year, usually), and then attending an appropriate Masters program, OR you...

  10. Accepted into Depaul's Masters Entry!

    TheSquire replied to denstar's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats, from a member of what will be the senior-most cohort when you start in the Fall. There's a few semi-active DePaul MENP threads over in the IL nursing programs forum, take a gander there and...

  12. Awful Clinical Experience

    TheSquire replied to caligurl1's topic in General Students

    The hospitals I've been rotated through for clinicals have all been teaching hospitals, and they have students from all stripes of the allied health fields in the hospital, the vast majority of which...

  13. Master's Options

    TheSquire replied to Guest412959's topic in General Students

    Or you can skip the masters and get a research

  14. Awful Clinical Experience

    TheSquire replied to caligurl1's topic in General Students

    And why weren't you in report with staff? From what I remember of my own clinical rotation, it's not uncommon for patients to react very differently when it's med-pass time than they do for other...

  15. Is it illegal to force students who have financial aid to buy books from your school?

    TheSquire replied to sweetiepie98's topic in General Students

    Can you return the books your school overcharges for in the first week for a full refund and buy them at a more reasonable price

  16. Run far away from malcolm x

    TheSquire replied to HoopZ20's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Everything I've looked up tells me that 3's your answer. If you're using review materials that came with your course materials, send an email off to your instructor with your reasoning and textbook...

  19. Help needed!

    TheSquire replied to hopefulUS's topic in General Students

    You're misreading the question, and have discarded the correct answer to boot. H2 is a type of histamine receptor which is blocked by drugs like Zantac (ranitidine). (H1 is the other major type of...

  20. Help needed!

    TheSquire replied to hopefulUS's topic in General Students

    I'm all for helping people through this forum, but outright giving answers does the person asking the questions no good as they did not work through the rationalizations by themselves. The proper...

  21. Summer positions for nursing student

    TheSquire replied to megc629's topic in Illinois Nursing

    The places which offer summer positions is substantially fewer than it was in the past. UofI Medical Center's program bit the dust and Northwestern Memorial's program has been scaled back so that it...
