  1. Check out http://www.versant.org for more information on an RN Residency. It is a 22 week program consisting of classes and following a preceptor.
  2. BSN Pre Requisites

    I am assuming that you never took any college courses? The prerequisites usually include English, Statistics, Anatomy, Physiology, Microbiology, Chem, etc. At most schools, you need to take these classes before you can even apply to their nursing p...
  3. I finally decided to purchase a PDA. I am thinking about getting either Epocrates or Pepid, which are both subscription programs with all of the essentials for nurses. Can anyone who has used either one or both tell me which is better? Thanks!
  4. Are you gaining weight or losing weight?

    My first year of nursing school I gained weight. Now that I'm in my final year, I've been losing weight.

  6. Tell me the truth about being a CNA

    I lasted only one day as a CNA. I took a job through an agency, and they sent me to a nursing home, where there gave me 11 patients to bathe, feed, etc. I actually cried in the middle of the shift. I was so tempted to walk off the job, but it took...

  9. I'm so sad

    Last year I was on the waiting list. I'm not sure what number I was on the list, but they called me about a month before school started to tell me that a space opened up, and if I wanted it, it was mine! Just hang in there! I'm sure you'll get in b...
  10. My advice would be to try to take a couple of the non nursing classes before you start the program. You'll be glad you did. If it's too late for this semester, maybe take one or two this summer.
  11. I checked Amazon.com, and it is still available: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0960862242/qid=1072115245//ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i2_xgl14/103-9487104-2531820?v=glance&s=books&n=507846
  12. NICU New Grad Programs in SF Bay Area

    Lucile Packard Children's Hospital (Stanford) has a good NICU program. I believe it starts in March and August .
  13. Agency work for CNA

    Hi, usually the "aides" that work in the Psych units are called Mental Health Workers, at least in California. They usually have some type of Psych background or degree.
