Hi Jenny! Hope all is well and classes are going OK. I managed to get in a class HFCC so I'm all set. Enjoying the first portions of clinicals immensely! :) How is your semester so far? Adios! A.

Thanks, I have been doing exactly that and so far they are all doing classes at the end of the month. If anyone knows of any courses being held this weekend or early next week, please post a note. Thanks, Alex

Hi All, Finally received my book list for school. They gave us a list of "suggested" books for the math calculations and dosages: Math for meds: Dosages and solutions (9th ed.) Curren & Munday (2004) Dosage calculations (7th ed.) Pickar, G. (200...

Thanks for all of the replies! I really appreciate it. I think I will go with the Pickar book. Thanks again! Alex

Agreed. Maybe the state would be good enough? I can understand the need for anonymity for some people.

Not to hijack this thread but: It's always good to include the area so that you can get some comments from others that are in that area, as well as giving others geographical perspective. I know there are many posts like these when I am always curio...

I'm curious about this too. Are conditions bad for APNs and CRNAs on the island? I've heard the salary for nurses is pretty b ad on the island.

I've been in PTK for almost a year. I did it mostly for the "achievement" milestone that it is. Plus, once you fill out your info they will let colleges know when you're planning to transfer to a 4 year college for scholarship opportunities. There ar...

Hi Jenny! OK, so no extra classes! I hope you had a great vacation! Better than all of the rain that keeps coming down around here..! Alex

Hi Lasonia! I keep forgetting you have already traversed the first portion of the ring of fire.. :). Thanks for clearing up any delusions of grandeur I was having of taking another class...! Alex

CRNA all the way.... :) That is my long term goal and I'm sticking to it! Alex

Hi Jenny! One more question: I just looked at the number of credits for NUR 151, 152, and 153...am I reading this right that it's only 3 credits?!? Since these are the only classes I'm taking I feel guilty it's nowhere near 12, or even 6 credits. Sho...

Hi Jenny!! I sent you a PM..take care!! Alex

I'll be starting at Macomb Community College in September. After that I'll be tranferring to eith Wayne State U., Oakland U., or Detroit Mercy. Years to go before I sleep.. :zzzzz

Love this thread..! (Hmmm. thread vs. string) John vs. Doe

Starting in October. Taking a break this summer but it's go time after that...!

Agree that the possibility of this may be true, but I hope that this is not the case in the graduate curriculum. We shall see. I wish you luck in whatever you decide to do. Alex

Peeps, I think we are misunderstanding each other. I was not trying to be negative in any way toward anyone's goals. Quite the opposite. All I am saying that with any career field, there are courses or situations (even jobs), one must take to get whe...

I was thinking that some of you that would like a "hands off" approach may enjoy being a CRNA. I would wager that the courses are very scientific and the job itself would satisfy the scientist in you.. :) I am considering this road and one of the ma...

Just received my letter..I'll be starting in October. I'm really happy about that. I didn't want to start next year and it makes me feel like there is some semblance of progress.. :) Alex

See you at the orientation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Sonia, Thanks for the heads up on the letters! I'm sure as the time gets closer I'll have some questions for you... :). Now to tell the wifey poo and see her mouth drop!!! Thanks again!! Alex

I just received mine!!! We're going to get another letter telling us when we'll start but it says I'm in!! That's all I care about. After sitting in traffic for an hour and a half, this is a welcome surprise. I've been waiting so long, I don't know h...

Thanks Sonia! I saw from some of your other posts that you seem a little stressed out with the syllabus? I hope it's going well for you otherwise! So what is your general take on it so far (since I remember you just started..)? Thanks, Alex
