Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum and won't be starting my nursing program until fall of '09. My husband and I are thinking about relocating after I finish my program and I want to work ICU. I was wondering if anyone has found that being bilingual ma...

Sure am! I LOVE Dr. Zoe! I took A&P with her too. All of my classes this semester are online, and it's a little unnerving. I keep thinking I'm going to overlook a deadline, or just forget about a class completely. But I would much rather do the p...

For everyone who was interested int he Patho...I am taking it at St. Charles Community and it is transferable. It is also an online class, and you only have to come to campus for orientation, the midterm and final, so it may work for your schedules. ...

I thought I would update this thread as i posted on another that I decided to stay with the Upper Division program for a bunch of reasons I hadn't thought of before (wanting good grades, not as much stress, etc..) I saw a friend's schedule who starte...

Karen confirmed for me that they have added the fall '09 class, but by that time my husband and I had talked about it and decided I should stay with the Upper Division program. The accelerated sounds very competitive based on some of the posts on her...

Usually you need to check with the financial aid office of the school you are interested in attending and then apply for any that you think you might qualify for. Then you wait to see if they award you with one. I believe that you need to already be ...

I read on another thread that they have possibly opened a fall '09 accelerated program and I am waiting for confirmation from the school counselor about this. If it is true, I am seriously considering trying to switch from the upper division program ...

Listener, How did you find out about the accelerated beginning fall '09??? I am admitted for the Upper Division for '09, but I would much prefer to do an accelerated if it is available. i wonder if I could switch over.

I hate to say this, because I know how frustrated you are today and I don't know anything else about your experiences in life, but it sounds like you're coming to the realization for the first time that life really ISN'T fair. And I mean ISN'T fair b...

I am taking patho as a pre-nursing course. Our book is Understanding Pathophysiology by Huether. I also bought but haven't really opened Pathophysiology Made Incredibly Easy. I enjoy our text, and I've read others in the Made Incredibly Easy series ...

I have the Calculate With Confidence book as well, but I have not gone through it yet. I bought it because a dosage exam is required for acceptance into the St. Charles Community College program, which I had been planning on taking before choosing Ba...

Hey PoshGirl, I'm so excited for you:yeah:! I just LOVE things that are as functional as the Zuca seems to be. There is nothing that makes me happier than finding something that fits a real need in my life and lasts a long time. It has to be great no...

Awesome! Let me know how you like it. I have not ordered mine yet because I am still pre-nursing and this semester all my classes are online. So I don't really have a good excuse to explain the purchase to my husband yet! Let us know if it is as fant...

I am still going to school, so i haven't actually worked as a nurse at the VA, but my brother was in it as a patient three years ago. I can tell you from our personal experience there that it is a very poorly run hospital in general, and my conversat...

I thought I would visit the Florida forum to inquire about work opportunities in Fort Myers. My husband and I are planning on relocating down there when I finish nursing school because his family lives on Sanibel. I am concerned that I may not be abl...

The Zuca pro is designed more for salesmen and air travel. The Sport is the one that has the school related accessories and compartments in it. I am looking forward to having it for school because of all the ways it is balanced better for pulling alo...

I completed the Chem with my first degree, but I agree that it does seem strange that it wouldn't be required for the accelerated at BJC. One would think it would be esential to being able to learn everything twice as fast.

I'm not going until next fall, but I have a friend who is doing the accelerated starting in January. I am looking forward to her telling me all about it.

Well, this topic was covered on one of the nursing gear threads on the general forums page and some wonderful poster mentioned Zuca. I am planning on getting one of these when my nursing program starts. www.zuca.com

I agree with other posters. My A&P I & II professor requested that I be her TA, and I'm planning on doing it to keep everything current in my mind while I wait a whole year for my nursing program to start. I have 15 hours a week however, and ...

While I have found many people on this forum that provide excellent advice and insight, I am sorry to say that I also find an unfortunate amount of criticism as well. I think if you all evaluate yourselves as CRNAs, you may find that you are not pro...

I just finished pre-reqs and I have a year until my BSN program starts, so I'm taking the pre-reqs for the masters program I want. Also, I'm now a TA for A&P I and II. I figured I should teach it so that I don't forget anything before nursing sc...

I'm 31 and I got an expandable file of sorts that holds all my papers and notes and carried it in my arms. I very rarely needed to have my text book on hand for classes.

For the price you want to pay, I would really suggest Kirkwood/Webster Groves. I've lived in almost every area of town here, and you will love the school district even if you may have to get an older home to rent. On the other hand I now live in O'fa...

I probably won't be able to help much, but there aren't any other posts so I wanted to offer you what I'm aware of. I know that University of Pheonix has an LPN program, but my general understanding is that in this area LPNs are being phased out a bi...
