  1. TEAS Q

    RNCEN replied to RNCEN's topic in General Students

    I have the ATI book, and the McGraw Hill book. They have both been helpful. I took the 1st practice test last night on the ATI site and got an 85%. The chemistry Q's had a periodic table as a...

  2. Teas Help!!! If you have recieved a good score on your TEAS READ

    RNCEN replied to singlemommy's topic in General Nursing

    I am taking mine next week. I have not been able to study quite as much as I would have liked to...But, with working 50 hours/week, taking a 4 credit class over the past 6 weeks 4 nights a week,...

  3. Do you bring your laptop to class/lecture?

    RNCEN replied to Di Deanna's topic in General Students

    Care to share what the app is/where you found it?

  4. Nurses and Eczema...help :(

    RNCEN replied to stellina615's topic in General Nursing

    I sympathize with you. I have the same thing, only I am not yet a nurse. I do, however, work on cars. I too have the need to wash my hands excessively, and it does contribute to the condition....

  5. Do you bring your laptop to class/lecture?

    RNCEN replied to Di Deanna's topic in General Students

    My pen is working very well. It is nice to not focus on note-taking, and actually listen. I can note-take in outline form, then review the parts I need extra time on...with the lecture playing, and...

  6. child violated at daycare (by child) what would you do?

    RNCEN replied to randomperson's topic in General Nursing

    Very important to get the right people involved. I too would suspect abuse towards the perpetrator. 4 yo's do not come up with that type of behavior without outside influence. Follow up with the...

  7. Do you bring your laptop to class/lecture?

    RNCEN replied to Di Deanna's topic in General Students

    Just keep writing. It works

  8. Nursing Faculty Shortage and Salaries

    RNCEN replied to Rhilogan's topic in General Nursing

    I am shocked at the salaries (or lack of) presented here. What part of the country do you live

  9. Do you bring your laptop to class/lecture?

    RNCEN replied to Di Deanna's topic in General Students

    I got the 2GB version, as the cost difference was

  10. Do you bring your laptop to class/lecture?

    RNCEN replied to Di Deanna's topic in General Students

    I got the Livescribe pen for Father's day. It is very cool....looks as if it will work very well. I will try it this week in

  11. Do you bring your laptop to class/lecture?

    RNCEN replied to Di Deanna's topic in General Students

    I can see how the typing would get annoying. I may check out the Livescribe pen deal. Looks like it gets decent

  12. Comparable jobs to RNs (salary wise)

    RNCEN replied to JomoNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I can tell you that automotive technicians can do well. I do about $80K/year.... BUT, it will take you years of experience to get there, and there is little to no upward mobility. There is a salary...

  13. Does anyone have a non-nursing specific Bachelors degree?

    RNCEN replied to eirnwilli's topic in General Nursing

    I have a degree in criminal justice from the University of Delaware. I am not in nursing school yet, but some of my classes will fulfill a few pre-reqs. I do not directly use my degree at this time,...

  14. uggh..how to shut the little voice up in my head

    RNCEN replied to LolaBunnie's topic in General Nursing

    I am 34 and am also taking the few pre-reqs I need to start nursing school. I certainly hope I'm not too

  15. Did you work while in Nursing school?

    RNCEN replied to GCTMT's topic in General Nursing

    Well put. I am going back for an RN, after getting a BA in an unrelated field in 1997. My wife has been home with my 2 daughters (and I the sole breadwinner) for nearly 6 years. I am taking some...

  16. I just dont understand!!

    RNCEN replied to sassyson_989's topic in General Nursing

    The ADN and diploma programs I am looking at are rigorous. Pre-reqs include Soc, Psych, Eng, a math, A&P 1 and 2, micro, chem, and more. I have a BA in another area, so I am fortunate that I...

  17. Online Courses Micro, A+P transferable?

    RNCEN replied to LVNfairy's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see how you can get away with the "lab" portion of an online course. The school I'm looking at requires A&P 1 and 2 WITH a lab...I don't think this would

  18. What's going to happen when we ALL leave the bedside?

    RNCEN replied to Purple_Scrubs's topic in General Nursing

    I am not a nurse...yet. I am a master Jaguar technician (as in the car, Jaguar). This sure sounds similar to what many auto technicians say all the time. "Get out now", and "turnover is high", and...

  19. health insurance

    RNCEN replied to newtelenurse's topic in General Nursing

    I am not in the medical field yet, but I pay $700 bi-weekly for myself, my wife, and 2

  20. any advice to male late 30's on entering nursing field?

    RNCEN replied to watertower's topic in Men in Nursing

    I know what you mean about not knowing what you wanted to do when you were in college. I declared a major my sophomore year because I had to, not because I knew what I wanted to do. I was in the...

  21. any advice to male late 30's on entering nursing field?

    RNCEN replied to watertower's topic in Men in Nursing

    I am in the same boat, somewhat. I am thinking of changing careers as well...from a master Jaguar (cars) technician to nursing. I am not passionate about my job, and hope to do something that I can...

  22. I am considering a career change to nursing

    RNCEN posted a topic in Nursing Career

    This is my first post, so be gentle. I have been poking around on this site as a guest on and off for a few weeks and finally joined to bug you with some questions, and ask for some input. I will...

  23. I am considering a career change to nursing

    RNCEN replied to RNCEN's topic in Nursing Career

    That's for the positive input Cycler. I spoke at length with my friend yesterday about his experience with his job and training. It was a very productive conversation. I will be taking pre-req's...

  24. I am considering a career change to nursing

    RNCEN replied to RNCEN's topic in Nursing Career

    I think the economy is affecting hospitals just as much as any other business. They are not hiring, in part due to tightened budgets and perhaps current employees working more to compensate for a...
