  3. Galen College

    Hello everyone. I am a student at Louisville galen- finishing up 2nd quarter evening. Actually- kind of getting stressed as i have some final things coming up. I have been reading and see that a lot of you have questions- but it doesn't seem like tha...

    wow. I don't know that I could do that after watching the video! Very very interesting though- thanks for the post!
  5. Well fellow students, I have come full circle. Last night- I got to put in my first foley catheter on a 85 year old woman. This is a huge deal for me. The one thing I was scared half to death over, and now I am the 2nd person in the entire class to ...

    MY BAD- i THOUGHT I WAS POSTING IN THE LPN.
  8. Best site for used textbooks?

    i personally use bigwords.com- I have told most of my nursing school friends- and now they all use it! Saves tons of money!
  9. Hi there! I am doing an LPN program with my brother. I am a few months ahead of him, but as he is full time day and i am part time evening, he will eventually pass me. Next quarter we will share the same classes, and then he will go ahead. I'm excite...
  10. I Will Talk, You Just Listen

    Nursing school was the goal, discovering who I am and the qualities I possess is what I received on the journey. When I got out of high school, I went into college bright eyed and bushy tailed, ready to take on the world, most importantly the medical...
  11. Ignorant Stupid Patients

    Wow- I have been reading this thread and I don't really know what to say. I am a nursing student right now, and it amazes me that people are starting to lose their compassion and maybe aren't giving the best care to people that are receiving governme...
  12. Social sorority and nursing school.

    Hi! I think it is great if you can manage all of that and still get that college experience. I was in a sorority (not during nursing school), but had many friends that were premed,nursing,vet, all very hard majors and they managed to do just fine. A ...
  13. The Most Amazing Patient

    this actually brought tears to my eyes. It takes a lot to do that. I just started nursing school, and I feel the same way you did (do) sometimes. I'm glad that you have that "angel" watching over you!
  14. Question about no insurance/free care

    Hi! This is actually what I do for my job. I screen uninsured patients at a local hospital. We screen for medicaid, disability and charity through the hospital. If you do not qualify for mcaid or disability (single parent with minors or are disabled)...
  15. Hi everyone! This is my first post, been lurking on this site for a while, and I must say, its awesome! I just started ADN evening program last week, then classes were canceled for 3 days due to the huge winter storm...does anyone else wish they wer...
  16. Good Luck DarkRainyDays!!! Hang in there, you will probably do a lot better than you think!
  17. Hey everyone, something that I have been thinking about on my day off; the wonderful support system that I have. And that I am planning on writing little notes to those that have been so supportive of me getting into school and these first couple of ...
  18. Being a New Grad stinks

    Hi AniRn! I read your message, and I really hope that you find something soon, its out there keep trying! The reason I am writing is because my ex boyfriend used to work for Maxim as a healthcare recruiter. You can take this for what its worth, and a...
  19. Did anyone move back home to attend nursing school?

    I also live at home. Like some of the other posts, its kind of embarassing, but it helps out so much in the longrun. My mom and dad have always said that they would help me and my siblings out financially (as im 25) as long as we were bettering ourse...
  20. Critical Thinking Skills test.

    I got after the first couple of names, but my mind was definitely starting to veer in the wrong direction...and so I had to smack it back! :) :smackingf
  21. Hi all! I just started nursing school last week. I am completing an ADN program and hopefully be an RN in spring 2011. I also have a bachelors of Science in Exercise Physiology. I was reading on the website that you have to have a bachelors of Scien...
  22. I did look at the accelerated BSN, but I have to work, so the ADN was the next best choice, and many students in the programs here that i've talked to, actually stepped down out of the 1 year b/c they didn't feel like they were getting what they need...
  23. Yeah, I definitely agree, I have a bachelors as well, and i guess, school is school, and if you have good study skills, you can make it through anything!!
