I would bring the paper that says 90 days to HR and try to see if they can do something. I would try to get a different HR person as the one you talked to on the phone. And just be really nice and sweet and maybe even apologetic about it and not soun...

I'm applying to Lewis for their ABSN program or the non-traditional program (basically night classes and weekend clinicals). I know they just changed the test from the NET to KAT which is the Kaplan Admission Test. Has anyone heard of this test? O...

Don't loose hope. Sometimes even if we do the very best we can, it still doesn't work out the way we want it to. At least you have a very supportive husband. Learn from what happened and just reapply. Like other poster said, it's just a tiny set ...

Hi! Maybe you can get away with buying the older editions for the professional development classes but for Health Assessment you should really buy the actual book. I know the price sucks but some books we do reuse throughout the program. And what'...

See if he is comfortable to apply for food stamps. He is probably eligible. Tell him to look it up online. I would not "advise" him to go do it. I would just mention it in passing. Some people might feel embarassed so I wouldn't push it, but as...

carpediem, I just used the one they recommended. I didn't buy the review book, just rented it from Chegg. Here's something I posted awhile back: Yes I took the KAT test Nov.2 and passed it..... We took the whole test but they said they are only lo...

Weight the pros and cons.... It ultimately depends on a person's situation, I think.... So what is your situation?

I'm taking Patho right now and I have that same book. Understanding Pathophysiolgy by Heuther. The book explains the normal physiology first then the abnormality next. So you don't really need your A&P book. I'd sell it to buy the new book.

I like this post, I'm "bookmarking" it to read the rest.

Not that I'm justifying the patient's and patient's family's actions but the fact is the hospital staff messed up. On the grand scheme of things a little annoyance is still better than a lawsuit. If the pt sues the hospital that would cost the hosp...

Yea check if Financial Aid office gave you the maximum loan you can borrow for the year. Ask them. I remember in my freshman year I had to get a private loan because my federal loans werent enough. Then the next year I found out I couldve borrow t...

I tend to hold my breath..... or breathe through my mouth... lol Is that bad?

Super nervous and excited at the same time!!!! Orientation is Aug.27 then classes start August 30th. First lab is a few days later. I'm doing an ABSN program that is 18 months long. I heard the 1st semester is rough so I hope I don't get weeded ou...

When they start making you feel guilty, ask them what they have personally done to help their parents.... You did your share and sacrificed a lot. Don't let them keep taking advantage of you. In the end, your immediate family is more important. Th...

I recently bought these Stay fit containers http://www.walmart.com/ip/Stay-Fit-5-Pack-Food-Storage-Set/11072497?sourceid=1500000000000003260370&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=11072497 I have the cereal and salad one and prepare them the night before....

To ericksoln.... LOL couldn't have said it better

Hey Donald11, Good for you for knowing sooooo many people in healthcare that can ultimately land you a job. However, for most of us a job at a hospital during NS can mean more experience and a better chance in getting hired after NS.

What is your school'd policy? In some school, you can go back if you raise your GPA or you can retake the class that you failed twice. Sorry about your situation but if this is really something you want to do you should fight it or start looking at...

Oh that's cool! I'm taking Soc and Micro Lab right now and will be doing the pre-term thing this summer.... Sooo excited!!!

Hey Karolyte!!! That's awesome you were able to get in the Fall cohort!!!! I'll be starting in August too so I'm super excited!!! Are you taking any classes right now?

Definitely be nice to everyone (patients and staff) and be eager to learn. But for more self-serving purposes: network, build relationships with the staff so you can expand your connections. Try to get a job as a PCT after a few months. Good luck!

It's totally normal to be stressed after an interview. But hey,.... you should only worry about things you can control and not on things that other people control. It seems like you did well on your interview so you did your part. Now the decisio...

This is probably oversimplistic.... but treat her/him how yoiu want to be treated. Encourage, be appreciative and criticize privately... I learned that from Dale Carnegie! Great author btw!

Hi! My mom works at Loyola as a Dialysis tech and she's been working there for 7 years. She loves it. They just opened a new building recently and it's lovely!! They keep on buiding new buildings so I can imagine their financials are in line. I ...

Do you guys know what this means for Chamberlain students if their school is not accredited?
