  1. Those nursing students that just don't seem to "get it"

    sunray12 replied to SolaireSolstice's topic in General Students

    I wouldn't. He isn't your twin or spouse and should carry his own weight like everyone else in the class. Also as you stated this is the instructor's job if she feels that she should help him through....

  2. Is it worth going to school to be an LPN?

    sunray12 replied to Shawn7997's topic in General Nursing

    Outside of the hospitals in my area there are actually more jobs for LPN's than RN's. Since hospital hiring has slowed to a crawl, I'd say there are probably more jobs available for LPNs in many areas...

  3. microbiology or physiology harder?

    sunray12 replied to motherofgirls's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In my state cc system anatomy and physiology are taught together in one course. A&P I and II can be used to fulfill the prereqs for micro alternatively you can use one year of gen bio. In short...

  4. First Aide?

    sunray12 replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    I took a health class in undergrad. CPR and first aide certification were included in the course. This was long ago. I was a liberal arts major and my school did not have a nursing program or even a...

    sunray12 replied to superramvette's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    :) Congrats

  6. I GIVE UP~

    sunray12 replied to afranklin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sorry this happened but I don't think I'd stay in the course either. 5-6 chapter assignments plus papers sound a bit too much for me. For my A&P and Chem classes we basically did two chapters then...

  7. Education requirement for nurse practitioner

    sunray12 replied to js408's topic in General Nursing

    Well the question about whether the BSN should be the point of entry into the profession is a different issue. Four year universities don't have the resources to train everyone who comes into the...

  8. LPN wannabe in WV

    sunray12 replied to crorma's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Hello: 1) Financial aid. Did you fill out your fafsa yet? If not that's where you need to start. It's online and takes just a few minutes. The school financial aid office does the rest. Some schools...

  9. Please help me make a career decision!

    sunray12 replied to HONEYDEW1's topic in General Nursing

    Ahima.org has the basic coding course online - CCA - for 2K. The course is 12 modules and is supposed to take about 15 months to complete. Most community colleges in my state also have a Health...

  10. About to take Anatomy & Physiology.........need input!

    sunray12 replied to Shawn7997's topic in General Nursing

    my a&p exams were multiple choice. there were one or two written assignments but those were for extra points. i would have been happy for essay style exams - there are a lot of ways to get tripped...

  11. Nova Bio 141-142,Chem,Teachers and advice

    sunray12 replied to NParker's topic in Virginia Nursing

    No need to be obsessive. If I'm looking for an opening I check manually coz I’m online anyway but if you don’t tend to login to vccs regularly then you can simply go through the enroll process and...

  12. Nova Bio 141-142,Chem,Teachers and advice

    sunray12 replied to NParker's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I take a lot of classes at Nova. It's not too late to get the classes you want. If the section you want is full now simply keep it on watch. A few slots always open up just before class start date...

  13. I m in big trouble! I think I failed my drug screen

    sunray12 replied to alex68's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like it with a little nose thumbing at the establishment thrown in for good

  14. Drop the class or stay in?

    sunray12 replied to labchic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There isn't always a curve or extra credit so it's not the best idea to assume it will be there to pad grades if the the class average is low unless this was specifically stated in the beginning of...

  15. Does anyone have a Bachelors and still pursuing LPN??

    sunray12 replied to Ling07's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Yes I have a Bachelor's and will be probably be a LPN by next year. Some people have preconceived notions about who does what in this world. I usually shatter notions so nothing new there. :) My...

  16. After a year, it seems the managers ignore me

    sunray12 replied to SoundofMusic's topic in General Nursing

    IA. BTW OP no news is a good thing. It means management thinks you're capable and can fly on your own without issue. As others have said - if you weren't doing the right thing - you'd hear about

  17. LVN or should I go the RN route?

    sunray12 replied to want2banurse09's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I haven't seen a LPN program in my state that requires chemistry but otoh I haven't seen a RN program that does not require chemistry. Some RN programs will take your hs chemistry though and I've seen...

  18. LPN to RN - online? - -is that possible?

    sunray12 replied to musickeys's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'm in a similar situation. The Excelsior LPN to RN is a good option if it is recognized in your state - so check with your state board of nursing first. With Excelsior as far as I know there are no...

  19. I am being advised that when I graduate...

    sunray12 replied to Lexnursingstudent's topic in General Nursing

    that's pretty much standard for new grads outside nursing - good economy, bad economy, any time. has there been a time when nurses were exempt from

  20. maybe not nursing..

    sunray12 replied to BethT's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not a nurse yet but I will say that with A&P there is going to be subject matter that interests you and subject matter that doesn't interest you. Even MD's pick specialties based on what areas...

  21. Is the ECONOMY effecting your NURSING SCHOOL?

    sunray12 replied to Cari001's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Not specific to nursing but my local cc is sooo crowded these days - library, common areas, testing center, parking, etc, you name it. It could be that more and more people are choosing to start at cc...

  22. Mispronouncing a word makes you less of a nurse

    sunray12 replied to Unique87's topic in General Nursing

    In my opinion it's a credibility issue. If your doctor or lawyer mispronounced professional terminology you have to admit it would make you think "hmmmmm?" The person might be great at what they do...

  23. Trade schools vs. community college

    sunray12 replied to rollndice's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It doesn't matter where you get your nursing credential - what does matter is whether the school is recognized by your state board of nursing - so the first thing you should do is go to your state bon...

  24. Rejected...

    sunray12 replied to Aimes's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Same story in my area re: availability of nursing seats. There is actually such a shortage of nursing and health care seats in general that I'm currently waitlisted for a cna class ... and I may get...

  25. I think I am dumb.

    sunray12 replied to GCTMT's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It sounds like your class involves a series of exams that will all go in to your final grade. There's a lot of information to cover in human anatomy and physiology. You will understand some of it...
