  1. ASN or BSN program

    IHeartPhysiology replied to mgra328's topic in General Nursing

    You may need to research whether a part-time program is even available. Area ASN and BSN programs are full-time only. Or, were you referring to doing pre-req's part-time? Good luck with whatever...

  2. I can't get a hospital job!

    IHeartPhysiology replied to gonzo1224's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't see your update.

  3. I can't get a hospital job!

    IHeartPhysiology replied to gonzo1224's topic in General Nursing

    At my local hospital they only hire CNA II's (Acute Care Certified). All nurse assistants must have certification and nursing students do not get preferential treatment. Keep trying! Most jobs are...

  4. How many classes do you have left?

    IHeartPhysiology replied to Hausfrau's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It depends on whether your school is on quarters or semesters. My school uses quarters, hence: AP I, AP II, AP III. Schools using semesters have AP I, AP II. 2 semesters = 3

  5. C in A&P 3 and Microbiology?

    IHeartPhysiology replied to Kika143's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Agree with the above; it really depends on the school and how competitive enrollment to the program is. Get an honest opinion from an advisor or program coordinator. There is NO WAY C's would fly at...

  6. How many classes do you have left?

    IHeartPhysiology replied to Hausfrau's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    From what started as a very long list, I only have two pre-requisites left to complete next term: A & P III ANTH 103 ( Cultural Anthropology) I'm applying in the Spring for next

  7. Those with kids

    IHeartPhysiology replied to nocheapones's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    RT stands for respiratory therapist. It's still a challenging program, but I feel that, for me, it will be less stressfull (than nursing) all around. And, I'm really fascinated by the respiratory...

  8. Those with kids

    IHeartPhysiology replied to nocheapones's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I feel it's pretty tough; it takes a lot of time management. I'm just finishing my prereq's (only 2 classes left!), and now I'n seriously reconsidering nursing as a viable career when I'm the primary...

  9. working as an aid while in school

    IHeartPhysiology replied to fellowshipofthecat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow; the CNA course is only 2 weeks?? The CNA course at my college is 3 months (one term). I'm taking it in the spring because my pre-req's will be done. I'll just be waiting to see if i was...

  10. What do you LOVE about being a CNA?

    IHeartPhysiology posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Hello All, I will be taking a 12 week CNA course through my local community college soon and would like some encouragement from other CNAs. What are your favorite parts of the job? What are your...

  11. What do you LOVE about being a CNA?

    IHeartPhysiology replied to IHeartPhysiology's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Thank you for your encouraging replies; I really am excited to start working as a CNA. I like the sense that what I am doing really matters and it appreciated by the patients/residents I work with....

  12. Curving in A&P

    IHeartPhysiology replied to 2bJoshRN9788's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    LOL! No curving at my school. That would sure be nice,

  13. Microbiology and Chemistry

    IHeartPhysiology replied to JumpingIn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Personally, I thinks those are two pretty hefty classes to take at once. At my school, though, you cant take chemistry with micro because chem is a prerequisite for both the A/P sequence and...

  14. Supplies for CNA Class?

    IHeartPhysiology replied to kalley's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I am not starting my CNA class until late winter, but the course I am taking is 12 weeks long and requires: Textbook at least 2 sets of scrubs WHITE shoes a stethoscope a watch w/ a second hand I...

  15. You know you're a nursing student when...

    IHeartPhysiology replied to Megsd's topic in General Students

    Okay, I know this is an old post, but..........

  16. Confused about majors

    IHeartPhysiology replied to mynameisamyw's topic in General Nursing

    Hmmmm.....well, I'm a Human Physiology major and am either going to pursue an Associates Degree as a Physical Therapist's Assistant or (ASN) Nursing at the same time. My goal is to eventually get my...

  17. What are the traditional uniforms worn by hospital personnel?

    IHeartPhysiology posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have seen many threads regarding nursing uniforms and also many comments about how when everyone wears scrubs it can be difficult to know who is who. Once I saw a comment or two, within these...

  18. What are the traditional uniforms worn by hospital personnel?

    IHeartPhysiology replied to IHeartPhysiology's topic in General Nursing

    But what about non-nursing healthcare professionals who perform direct patient care (RT, PT, OT, PTA, COTA, etc.)? Is it inappropriate for them to wear scrubs? Particularly white

  19. What are the traditional uniforms worn by hospital personnel?

    IHeartPhysiology replied to IHeartPhysiology's topic in General Nursing

    One more question: do you feel it is inappropriate for non-nurses to wear white scrubs or any other "whites"?

  20. What are the traditional uniforms worn by hospital personnel?

    IHeartPhysiology replied to IHeartPhysiology's topic in General Nursing

    This is a tangent, but I had an experience relating to this just last week. My 3 1/2 year old has been on a delayed/partial vaccine schedule since birth. Before entering preschool this year, I...

  21. What are the traditional uniforms worn by hospital personnel?

    IHeartPhysiology replied to IHeartPhysiology's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for you insights. I had the impression that the white coat was often seen as a right of passage, so to speak, for physicians. Although, NPs and Surgeons wear them too. Short coats are for...

  22. What is the best thing to put on diaper rash?

    IHeartPhysiology replied to mondkmondk's topic in General Nursing

    That's funny; Pampers gave my daughter the WORST rash/irritation! We eventually went to cloth diapers anyway, though!

  23. What is the best thing to put on diaper rash?

    IHeartPhysiology replied to mondkmondk's topic in General Nursing

    There is an zinc oxide ointment called Triple Paste that I LOVED:redbeathe when my daughter was an infamt. Other thaen that, just keep the area cleansed with a gentle cleanser and DRY. Avoid the...

    IHeartPhysiology replied to 3sodapop's topic in General Students

  25. 8 hr shifts/ 12 hr shifts....and childcare?

    IHeartPhysiology replied to prairiegirl's topic in General Nursing

    This sounds wonderful and it's such a shame that more hospitals don't do this!! Neither of my local hospitals do this, nor do they offer "weekend plans." You work variable hours, any day of the...
