  1. Semester 1 in Diploma nursing

    shelbias replied to deepurple's topic in General Students

    one advice: technology is your friend. in my Anatomy class, i used whatever i could to help me with the class. i recorded every lecture, took pictures and videos in lab (point&shoot digital...

  2. Enough is enough: Get out of my wallet.

    shelbias replied to Bortaz's topic in General Students

    It appears that your math is a bit off as well. $1500 per year over there versus $26000 per year here, the average family in your county still makes more than the average Filipino family per annum....

  3. This was a question on our test today. What do you think the answer is?

    shelbias replied to APRNReneeJ's topic in General Students

    I wouldve picked D, but only because it seemed like a whammy answer out of the

  4. how important is the quality of your tools during nursing school?

    shelbias replied to shelbias's topic in General Students

    I just figured that if I start investing in quality instruments now, I won't have to buy new stuff later on. Like the steth I got works great for both adults and peds. That way I won't be stuck with...

  5. how important is the quality of your tools during nursing school?

    shelbias posted a topic in General Students

    hi everyone! does it matter if you go to nursing school equipped with average quality tools (i.e., steth, sphyg, etc)? i am lucky enough to be sent to nursing school with tuition and books paid for,...

  6. how important is the quality of your tools during nursing school?

    shelbias replied to shelbias's topic in General Students

    thanks for your replies, trisha and premed! i didn't skimp on the steth because i am hard of hearing, too. but i'm shopping around for sphygs right now and the love for shiny and nice instruments...

  7. For Fun - Things You Want to Buy Once You're a Nurse

    shelbias replied to Multicollinearity's topic in General Students

    first thing i'll do is pay off any remaining debt i have at that point. then travel all over Europe. then definitely buy a house.

  8. What to do ? I think im BEYOND Screwed :(

    shelbias replied to theneedthewant's topic in General Students

    I agree with everyone. It's better to hve made mistakes when you're still young and foolish. If you do it later on, you're just simply foolish (can't use the being young excuse). Look at it on the...

  9. IPod and lecture question

    shelbias replied to Nepenthe Sea's topic in General Students

    YW. :) I know you got your iPod as a gift, but is there a way you can exchange that with a 2nd gen iPod Touch? I posted this on another thread where there is this app that you can download from the...

  10. Digital Recorder

    shelbias replied to checkmate's topic in General Students

    I agree, recording lectures is very helpful when you need to study later on. Did that with my 4G iPod using iTalk during my Anatomy days and it worked fabulously! Plus, it works well even if I just...

  11. IPod and lecture question

    shelbias replied to Nepenthe Sea's topic in General Students

    I used to have one for my 4G iPod. I think it was called iTalk by Griffin which let's you record directly into the iPod. Used it during my Anatomy days and it was handy. There should be something...

  12. Sooo tired of patients complaining about foreign nurses' accents....

    shelbias replied to nervousnurse's topic in General Nursing

    English is the medium of instruction in the Philippines, but it is spoken with a Filipino accent as oppose to with an American accent. This also depends on where you went to school. I was priviledged...

  13. Would you seek medical treatment at the place you work?

    shelbias replied to kris966's topic in General Students

    Yes. Our hospital is known for providing excellent care and I am assured that I will be taken well care of. Plus, the employee discount is always a plus (covers deductible, coinsurance and copays!)....

  14. I spent over 600 dollars on textbooks and supplies

    shelbias replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    My school bundled their nursing books, too and I paid $495 plus tax for one year's worth of books. And yes, all the requirements and supplies puts me out of at least $1000. Ridiculous, yes but I am...

  15. New CMS payment, what Hospitals are not reimbursed for:

    shelbias replied to lpnflorida's topic in General Nursing

    I am not a nurse yet, but I do work in the healthcare finance industry. It is true that CMS implemented this to cut costs. With this ruling, it will save the agency around $50+B per year--money that...

  16. Where Do Nursing Students Work?

    shelbias replied to Dottie78's topic in General Students

    thanks, julzhere! Yes, it's a nice little benefit esp considering how expensive and time-consuming nursing school is. They do expect me to work for them as a nurse for 3 years after I pass the boards....

  17. Where Do Nursing Students Work?

    shelbias replied to Dottie78's topic in General Students

    I am currently working full time but will be on part time schedule when school starts. I'm lucky that my employer (a hospital) has this benefit for employees where we still get full pay even when...

  18. Do you need a Laptop?

    shelbias replied to dfw2lax's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    i bring my laptop to class and it's the best thing! i can type the lectures (as oppose to struggling with my illegible handwriting), plus i can lookup information on the net quickly since all of the...

  19. Loma Linda and Mt Sac(pre-reqs to nursing program)

    shelbias replied to just_a_girl443's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    i am currently attending Mt SAC for the nursing program. the requirements are different, depending on where you intend to complete your degree and which degree to pursue (a bachelor's vs an...
