I have yet to find a course and I am in the Jackson Tn area. I am told some hospitals teach you once employed its like the chicken before the egg!!! I want to get certified too! good luck

Thank you, Jackson is the closest area for me too. Boy its a big difference from what I had read about perhaps the biggest difference is being an RN. I have made more money per hour doing frangrance modeling and no experience needed there. Sad

I want to try to get into the bridge program which is LPN to RN in one year. There is limited space and only one class per year. One of the requirements is the ACT test. Ive never taken one. Any suggestions on what to concentrate on or if the nursing ACT is different than a general college entrance ACT???? Any help would be appreciated!

I am about to graduate and I have NO IDEA what to expect for an hourly rate. I am new to TN and I am brand new to this field. I don't want to over sell myself nor under sell myself. I thought about being honest and stating such at an interview but I don't think that would be a good idea. I have gone online and tried to research currenty salaries but I am not sure how accurate the websites are and of course job postings do not stage wages. I'd greatly appreciate any info anyone can give!

Thank you so much and good luck to you!

I just wanted to know if anyone has actually gone through this school and became an RN. I am turning 47 this year and I'd like to continue on but I am afraid of online schools. Do you actually get a degree are you actually employable. I am totally foreign to this type of learning and at my age I can't take any chances. I'd appreciate any comments!

Okay, Im going to be 46 soon and I am in my last trimester studying mother/baby. Its heard we only have 4 tests and must maitain an 81 or get thrown out of the program. First test I got an 84 bearly made it. Also have an ATI on this section too and need a 70 the highest I've done on practice is 66. I'm feeling nervous and am wondering what was I thinking starting over at my age. I want it but my morale is a little low. Anyone else go through periods of self doubt?

Wow, I wish our school had a lab like that! Our "dummies" are not the greatest like some of the other quotes state.

Thanks, I am not sure I even know what med surg is all about yet. Guess I will cross that bridge when I come to it!

Okay, can anyone tell me a good way to remember the way the blood flows through the heart and does anyone know of a good website for pictures? My book names all these linings we need to know but the picutures and not conducive for me to learn the lables...... I am getting everything else though. .... Please... have a heart okay, corney I know.

AMEN!!!!

Thank you. From some of the replys it looks like my school might break down sections differently. Med surg is a totally different content from A&P. Yea Pharm was hard I can't believe we did it first!

I just finished Pharm and we are now starting in on A&P. I'd like people to share what section they tought was the most difficult. I know it will differ from person to person buy I would kind of like to know what "maybe" to expect. Thanks!:redpinkhe

Wow... I still dont get it. Thanks for your help I still don't understand if only 300ml is left why are they using 700mg in the calc. To me it seems like you had 1000 and now 300 is left you would calculate how long to infuse 300. God help me!

Yes I understood that part but don't you use the 300 because they ask how long it will take to finish the infusion. Isn't the 700ml gone?
