    Mommy_of_3_in_AL..RN replied to Brian's topic in Nursing Humor

    Mommy_of_3_in_AL..RN replied to Mommy_of_3_in_AL..RN's topic in General Nursing

  12. A day in the life of CACC-Childersburg students

    Mommy_of_3_in_AL..RN replied to LiveLoveLearn's topic in Alabama Nursing

    It will not hurt to have some concept of medication dosaging, etc. You will use it from day one, and will build on it the whole time. It wont hurt to look over your health assesment book if you...

  13. Who can confirm math 100 required for fall?

    Mommy_of_3_in_AL..RN replied to borninoctober's topic in Alabama Nursing

    I really dont know of any 2 year programs that offer dorms. I know the two you mentioned do not, and CACC does not. I think only BSN programs at major universities (like UAB) provide those, for a fee,...

  14. Who can confirm math 100 required for fall?

    Mommy_of_3_in_AL..RN replied to borninoctober's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Mommy_of_3_in_AL..RN replied to michaelarose's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Any advice on scrubs for tall people (that are still fashionable). I am 5-7 and wear a sz 1 in pants. I usually need a S or XS in scrubs, depending on the brand, but need a very long inseam ( i am all...

  18. A day in the life of CACC-Childersburg students

    Mommy_of_3_in_AL..RN replied to LiveLoveLearn's topic in Alabama Nursing

    I went through pinning on December 18. Although I went through the RN program, i chose the delayed track, which split it into 7 semesters instead of 5. I did this because i have a husband and 3 small...

  22. Just wondering how I could do this...any advise? Come on moms and dads ; )!

    Mommy_of_3_in_AL..RN replied to kristyb's topic in General Students

    I would say that the best route would be an associate degree, with which you could get a great job, and a flexible one at that. The you could go back and do bachelor's online. At least here in AL,...

  24. Is info in class covered too quickly?

    Mommy_of_3_in_AL..RN replied to Nicole2010's topic in General Students
