  1. In your opinion, what is the hardest class in nursing school?

    Bean79 replied to believeallispossible's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Pharm was the most difficult for me. My second most challenging area was Endocrine Med

  2. need help with Nursing Dx

    Bean79 replied to TYGRSHRK00's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with above posters suggestions. Also I would suggest being more specific in the AEB part of your diagnosis. For example for disturbed thought process you state AEB 'states in chart' flight of...

    I have tried some mens shoes in the past but have not tried that in a while. Think Ill go shopping around to see what I can find.

  4. Trouble finding shoes...

    Bean79 posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I generally have a hard time finding shoes for normal everyday use due to my feet being unusually wide and flat. Luckily I live in FL so flip flops are part of my daily wear Anyway finding good...

  5. I have a hunch about a patient and I cannot prove it!

    Bean79 replied to WoofyMutt80's topic in General Nursing

    I also used to work Neuro as CMA and saw abuse of the system on a daily basis. But I can also say that the doctors caught on very quickly in practically every circumstance. I personally would just...

  6. My application to NYU College of Nursing

    Bean79 replied to JasonNunez's topic in General Nursing

    Oh I like it!! I think it sounds perfect now and flows much

  7. My application to NYU College of Nursing

    Bean79 replied to JasonNunez's topic in General Nursing

    I dont necessarily agree with using "my main" or "chief" passion when referring to photography. But agree that a different choice of words may sound better. Also the last line could be modified a bit....

  8. Why does Sonography pay more than nursing?

    Bean79 replied to PopeJane3rd's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps intially, but in the long run I would think nurses make more. Also there is more room for development and advancement in nursing than technical areas like sonography. The people I talk to in...

  9. Orlando Nursing Pay ? Anyone heard anything good?

    Bean79 replied to Airbrushguy's topic in Florida Nursing

    You should believe it.. Salary searches online are not very accurate. I know the average starting pay right now for New grads in my area is $20-$22. So where the poster was referring to $19 in 2007...

  10. I want to vomit - 85 ?'s on NCLEX-PN

    Bean79 replied to nossawja's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Well I wish you the best and I am sure you did well. Everyone is my class that took the NCLEX-PN said it cut off at 85 and all of them passed! Several of us, left thinking we bombed it but a few days...

  11. TEAs exam --quick english question!? please help

    Bean79 replied to maybug's topic in General Students

    It has been a while since I took the teas, but if I remember correctly the english portion does not ask specific questions about adverbs, adjectives, etc. It was primarily sentence structure and...

  12. Pregnant and Nursing School

    Bean79 replied to QEOLAdvocate's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You are angry about this? Thats absurd! I am having difficulty seeing the issue here. So what? These women are pregnant. Sometimes things happen in life that were not planned or expected. But I dont...

  13. cost of attending EC??

    Bean79 replied to travelnurse28's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Hi I am also looking into starting EC in January, but the enrollment fee looked daunting. You said there is a payment plan...Do you have to comepletely have the enrollment fee paid off before you can...

  14. MedAssistant program or Surgical Tech?

    Bean79 replied to dancer_meggs's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting Medical Assisting program. If you had said it was 2 years to become just a CMA then I would say no way. I a CMA and would never reccommend going to school that long. But in order to become...

  15. Getting ADN from Excelsior make it hard to get in NP program?

    Bean79 replied to Jess84's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I do not have personal experience with this, but during my LPN clinicals I met an RN who did exactly this. She had completely excelsior and is currently finishing NP school. She goes to a very...

  16. Rma

    Bean79 replied to kellyrp's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Maybe in Texas this is the case, but in Florida a CMA/RMA is NOT just a receptionist. Although a Medical assistant can work in that capacity schools here teach a much broader scope which includes...

  17. PTEC

    Bean79 replied to AllisonLP's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I bought some from the bookstore but I bought most of my books from Amazon.com and Half.com. They both had some good deals, though shipping from half.com can take longer since they ship media mail....

  18. PTEC

    Bean79 replied to AllisonLP's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    True...We were told however that they are completely changing books (not just newer editions). Some of our books are poorly written, so I believe they are getting better materials. But I do believe...

  19. PTEC

    Bean79 replied to AllisonLP's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I think I heard from faculty that they are changing most of the books for the August class. But once you get a book list let me know and I will see what books are the same.

  20. PTEC

    Bean79 replied to AllisonLP's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    The program can be pretty challenging. It isnt that the material is hard, it is just difficult looking at questions a whole new way. Some of the tests are geared towards the NCLEX , so you will often...

  21. SPC-say it ain't so! Question on apply for Nursing program

    Bean79 replied to CVICUismydream's topic in Florida Nursing

    Yep, sounds pretty accurate to me. In my situation the way the deadlines fell I would have to wait to apply for January or August 2010 entry for SPC. PLUS, there was no guarantee I would even get in....

  22. PTEC

    Bean79 replied to AllisonLP's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Nola...I cant really speak on behalf of the Online course, but I can certainly understand the frustration. I originally was going to try for the class you are in (March 2008 online) but decided not to...

  23. PTEC

    Bean79 replied to AllisonLP's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I certainly understand the issue with work and school. I actually delayed applying to PTEC for a while because I had a day job. Once I was at my job long enough I was able to transfer to a night...

  24. PTEC

    Bean79 replied to AllisonLP's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Hi everyone! I am currently a PTEC LPN student (daytime). I see some of you are currently considering CNA training. If you are planning on pursuing PTEC again in the future my advice to you would be...

  25. LPN School

    Bean79 replied to Angela.Tris24's topic in General Nursing

    I understand because I also found myself in the same situation. While there are many that would advise you to just pursue the RN right off the bat, I personally have chosen to go the LPN route and...
