WOW! I guess I will wait for them to call my number at LCCC or CCC. $40k for a NCLEX pass rate of 60%...I'll pass. Thanks for the info.

What is the cost of the RN program? They would not tell me over the phone. :smackingf

There are always a few bad apples on the nurse tree.

I'm 33.

no idea where i picked it up. in the three day prior to symptoms i was mostly at home doing yard work. i did go to my 80yo mothers’ house and a couple bars. i talked to all the people i was out with this weekend and nobody is sick. my wife’s test came back negative but her school made her stay home the last two day until the results came in. if it does come back that i had h1n1 they are going to close the school for seven days even though she is negative. my understanding is that all positive influenza (a) tests are being sent to the doh. i did not have anything coming out of me (from either end) just my nose. -chills -erratic temp. (100.8 an hour later 102.7 an hour after that 99.5 then back up again.) -not much sneezing but a very runny nose. -headache -no cough

So here is an update… The fever broke yesterday. I feel about 500% better. I talk to the Dr’s office today and I did test pos. for Influenza A. They also told me that the Dept. of health will be contacting me in regards to the H1N1. I asked, “What does the mean exactly?” She said, “I don’t know.”

West side of Cleveland.

I live in Ohio and no I have not been to Mexico.

it's going to the state dept of health for swine verification. she put me on tamiflu and azithromycin. i do feel a little better but at last check my temp was 103. i'm thinking it's going to come back positive for swine. it's just very odd that this bug is floating around and i get sick in the off season. like i mentioned before i have not had the flu since 1999 now that i think about it. on a funny note… i don’t know what type on precautions your hospital is taking but at my docs office they came out to the car with two n95’s and escorted us right into an exam room. i’m going to start wearing masks everywhere…people really get out of your way.

I have to go in to see the Dr. tomorrow. I have not even been sick with a cold in about 7 years. We will see.

From what I have heard a 2nd semester RN student can sit for the CNA test in my state (OH).
