I am currently working at a LTC facility in Huntsville, AL and making really good money but the hours stink! I am looking for a job in the same area at a doctors office so that my work sschedule will closer match my husbands. I understand the $17.50 ...

The number of hours are not so important as when. I can't stand the two or three weekends a month and all holidays spent at work. Thanks so much for that advice:)

I will be transfering from Calhoun CC to UAH this summer, so if I buy any new shoes they need to work for both schools. My mother has found these really awsome shoes Z-Coil's. They are really great for Plantar Faciitis, which I have. If anyone knows ...

I forgot about the heel enclosures! Thanks a ton!

That is really weird? Are you in the nursing program at calhoun?

Mine isn't till June 16th. Are you just starting or going back? My orientaion is for transfer students and I think those are at different times. Let me know how it goes?

Yeah I am going to UAH in the fall, that was always my plan but I'm so thankful now. I am sure they are still accepting 300 in the fall and I had 70ish out of 90 points (I think that is right). Sometimes if you don't get in to the RN they will ask if...

Yeah they started making changes because they have been put on probation with the AL board of nursing b/c their NCLEX scores were bad. Things did need to be changed, but speaking to students like we are children and treating us like we are such an in...

I do wish you luck! I am in the Calhoun program right now and my best advice to you is apply other places! They have changed alot in the last year and the program has suffered. I don't want to discourage you I just don't want anyone to go threw what ...

I think it will just depend on the number of applicants that apply. I had all but 3 points but I know people who didn't have that many who got in, just try for as many as you can and if you have to wait a year that's ok to! It will just make it easi...

I am in the second semester. A&P1 is Bio 201 but I'm not sure what # Micro is? Just getting your first A&P and the math out of the way will do you wonders!! That's a great start!! I wish you the best of luck!! and let me know if you get in:)

I am in the program right now and the best advice I can give you is get your A&P and if you can your Micro out of the way before you start the program. You can do it all together I know lots of girls who are doing it but all I have are my nursin...

I'm really excited my first clinical day is on Friday this week:yeah:. I was wondering if anyone had any words of wisdom!

I am still a student in Huntsville so I have not applied but from what our instructors tell us you will not have a problem, if fact they encourage us to negotiate with the facilitys b/c they have a hard time turning down nurses that want a job. I'm n...

We moved to a new town recently and didn't know anyone. I just started nursing school and we have now been here long enough to have made friends. My fiance really wants to go out with our friends and so do I but I just don't have time. I miss our new...

Oh I have been taking some time to spend with him, and during the week he is fine but come Friday he wants my full attention all weekend and it's just not possible. I know he just misses me but I can't take off all weekend every weekend. Thanks for a...

I am still waiting on a letter from Calhoun anyone else have one already? It's killing me but I was told it would be the middle of July.

I got in to the PN program but to start they are much the same. I also have had classes with many go in to the bridge or ADN program. Anyway Yes the May 30 deadline was for this fall. Also they only accept students in the fall, but if you haven't fin...

I have read the replys about getting stuff together and relaxing so I have cleaned my house like never befor and just relaxed (more than normal) and when my fiance asks if I am ever going to get up and move I say " when school starts". I do still wor...

I am a nursing student and I am thinking about going in to oncology. I recently had a close family member die of lung cancer and some of the nurses that we had were wonderful, I don't know what we would have done without them. I know how hard it was ...

Thank you for that info. I didn't know anything about ONS. Thanks again.

I start nursing school the end of Aug and this scares me. I am afraid I will not be prepared but more than that shouldn't the experianced nurses help you learn. My mom has been a nurse for 17 yrs and she has already told me that I have to work in a h...

I also start Aug. 25th and I am so excited! I do have a part-time job that takes up some of my time and I am trying to enjoy my last summer off but I it's killing me. I saw some say to review A&P and get a fluids and electralytes book. Anything e...

Calhoun uses it as well. I had never heard of it so I asked my mother (a nurse for 17yrs.) and she said that a few years back some schools were passing large numbers of students but they couldn't pass the NCLEX and the schools lost thier accredation ...

hey tsalsgicara, I just got accepted at Calhoun for the LPN program. I got in with 150 points out of 170 total. I heard that it was really hard to get in to any nursing program at Calhoun but I think it is probably easier to get into the LPN program...
