    Gerry1888RN replied to 20mom10's topic in General Students

    Best to take A&P I with Chemistry, as the first A&P course is usually a pre-req for A&p II, and I wouldn't take Chem during the summer if you think it will be tough. Also, Chemistry might...

    Gerry1888RN replied to merrywhiterose's topic in General Nursing

    After 1 year of my ADN program in Arizona, I could have done a summer class on pediatrics, or was it geriatrics, and then I could sit for the LPN boards. But, I didn't think there was much point...

    Gerry1888RN replied to Trauma_Team_1's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  15. will universal healthcare ( in the usa) cut RN pay?

    Gerry1888RN replied to Trauma_Team_1's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Healthcare reform in America will create more jobs. At present, it's really hard for new grads to get jobs as so many Americans are not insured, and that means less hospital business. The only tax...

    One of my clients in my first semester did not have any starbuck milkshakes left, so I got him a few after my shift, since it was my last day at the LTC facility. My instructor was ok about it, and it...
