I was talking about the regular ADN program. I forgot the OP was talking about the momentum program. I also didn't realize you don't have to take pre req's for the Momentum program.

Have you taken all the pre reqs that are required for NOVA? You can't apply until all/or most of them are done. That may be one thing that will hold you back.

I think it totally depends on your school. I had to take out my tongue ring for school. They were not allowed. We also can only have one earring per ear and have to be studs..no hoops or danglies. About the tattoos, I think they would just ask y...

Have you checked your psych book? Our book has a step by step example and a sample one.

Personally I hate sitting. At my hospital, usually the transporters are also sitters. But most of the time there are not enough so the techs have to fill in. On my floor whatever tech is taking care of the pt becomes the sitter. I guess I don't w...

Is the patient only on palliative care/hospice? If so, that is the reason why they are not having tx for the cancer. It sounds like it since you say they are only on pain and N/V meds which are mainly comfort measures.

I'm sorry to hear you did so poorly. One test definitely doesn't make your grade, so I would not W/D. I would keep working at it. It took me some time to get used to the nursing exams. Remember though if you get less than a C it will bring down your ...

Hi all-I'm in the same boat as everyone else. I just can't/don't have time to read all the chapters. I've found if I do the review questions that come on the CD for the textbook and also on the CD for the NCLEX review book it helps a lot. Also, the r...

Please for the love of god shower before clinical!! I dry heave when you walk by me and I can't stand to be in that tiny room with it smelling like mold and BO! It's not rocket science. Stop dipping during clinical...it's disgusting. Stop beating th...

Well thankfully they just changed them last year from all white pants and shirt with a smock to finally scrubs. Now it's hunter green pants with a white top and lab coat with our school logo embroidered.

:eek::eek: Poor girl....what an embarrassing way to find out.

But it is. The OP said that the teacher was requiring an "acorn" size sample.

I've done plenty of "code browns", it's pretty much what I do all day and I still have a problem with this. When your working and in a professional setting it's different then being in class with peers and friends and bringing your own sample. I pers...

We definitely never had to do that. That does seem a bit odd. I really wouldn't want to know what my friend/classmate's poop looks like. What are you all doing with it? What kind of testing? It's different in the hospital, because most likely you...

I agree with the previous poster, I think it's the instructor's place to tell her. I think she would be more offended if a friend told her or wouldn't take it seriously. I know it's a touchy subject so good luck.

9.........I got to sleep in today!! YEA!

Have you thought about getting your ADN and then pursuing your BSN after you're already working as an RN? Most hospitals (atleast in my area) have tuition reimbursement. That way you could have some if not all of your tuition paid and wouldn't have s...

Hi all! I was wondering what everyone's study habits were like. Do you all read all the chapters assigned? Or do you pick out what you think is important? I didn't read before, except what I "thought" was important, but now I'm trying to stay cu...

Hi all-I was hoping someone could answer a question for me. I was looking online to get another review book for the nclex. I have an old version of the saunder's comprehensive review. I was looking at a newer edition and it said it was styled for the...

Thank you all for your replies. I have the 2nd edition and I believe the 4th edition is out. Mine is about 3-4 years old. I will go ahead and get the new one. I was looking to get a second book so I could study off of two. I'm actually using the...

Some good tips all! Thanks!

I so agree and feel for you!! This happens in my class as well....it makes me want to jump up and yell "Just Listen!!!!". This week was our first class and OMG! We had A LOT to get through and people were asking the most ridiculous questions. On...

At our school we have to take a 20 question dosage calculation test at the beginning of the semester and pass with a 90%. If you don't pass with a 90% then you are allowed to take it one more time, but if you don't pass the second time you fail the ...

I know how you feel! I have faced A LOT of my fears in NS and working as a tech. I remember once in clinicals they were putting some kind of wire (can't think of the name of the procedure) into this lady to help drain her ovaries and the room was SO...
