Hi Adie! My clinical site was at The Lodge Care Center (Loveland). The staff was really nice to us. Are you not starting until July by choice? If you were told that classes are full for April, make...

Hi Diane! Sorry it took so long to answer your question! Proper hand hygiene definitely makes a huge difference when it comes to contributing to any kind of infection, and as I said in my previous...
I can handle blood, but I am not a fan of needles. For me, I think it has been some really bad personal experiences that have caused me to have a problem with them. However, I have become a bit more...

Hello catrat! First term clinicals are all about direct patient care, and documentation. You will do a lot of bedbaths, showers, assisting to and from the restroom, etc. You don't pass any meds the...

Hi Adie! Well, it's FINALS TIME!!! So, as you can imagine, I've been keeping pretty busy! It sounds like you're right on track for starting school! I thought I would let you (and everyone else who is...
I am one of those people who will tell you that my parents spanked me when I needed it and I turned out just fine! There is a HUGE difference between spanking and beating. As for my own children, I...

Hello everyone! I have been a licensed manicurist for 12 yrs. As far as acrylic goes, even if you only have an overlay on your nails, it is still considered an artificial nail enhancement. Tips only...

Hi Mantosee! I'm not sure about whether or not they're seeking NLNAC accreditation. (They don't need it in order for us to be able to sit for the NCLEX.) As far as clinicals go, they start at week 6...

Congratulations!:yeah: I don't know where you live, or what resources you have, but you should check with your local fire department about the Healthcare Provider CPR class! I live in Monroe and was...

Hello Adie! Congratulations on passing the HESI entrance exam! (I told you it would be fine!) I honestly don't remember what kind of questions I asked at my interview. The interview itself went...

Yep, they were on there. I don't remember them being too difficult, but I would definitely recommend that you review the measurements and conversions. I remember the Roman Numerals being pretty...
animal1993 replied to soupermom's topic in Geriatric, LTC
I totally agree. The lack of care that our elderly receive really disgusts me. I also think it's really a shame that most LTC facilities don't or aren't able to pay competitively enough to attract...

I was led to believe that having a laptop was a requirement, since there was a "technology fee" which included one. (I was told I could either go ahead and purchase it as part of my tuition or get...

We haven't actually started our clinicals, yet, so I can't really answer your question at this time. However, it was mentioned on our first day that we wouldn't be working with any infants when we...

I don't know what kind of a waiting list they may have right now, but it wasn't at all difficult for me to get in. I just followed the list of requirements that they gave me at my interview. You'll...

Hello! I started at Hondros (Cincinnati) on Jan. 12th, and so far I'm loving it! I think the professors are very knowledgeable. (Professor Hinn, who teaches A&P is AWESOME!!!) There have been...
I would love to get the highest grades in the class! However, even though I study just as much (if not more than) those who do achieve the highest grades, I usually end up with B's and C's. I am the...
I have my first test tomorrow. I have no idea what to expect, and can only hope I have studied effectively. I'm sorry you were so disappointed in yourself. Maybe you just needed to experience it...
I just read a post about a daycare worker who threw a 16-month old boy to the ground in a fit of rage, causing his death. I don't know why I read it, knowing how I react to these kinds of things. I...
Thank you all so much. I have to say that I am more than just a little relieved to know that I'm not the only one who gets emotional! I was almost afraid that someone would just tell me to pack it...
I started NS yesterday!!! It was an overload of information, to say the least! I definitely have my work ahead of me, trying to keep up with school and two kids! (Three if you count my...

Hi Paul! I'm glad you're first day went well! I called and spoke with Stephanie about the portal situation. I had already found some information under Nur 110 Lec, and she let me know that would be...
