    Advice for School Consideration

    Headhurt replied to melessia's topic in General Nursing

    No, not an LPN...I've just been in the field for a while. I work at Shawnee Mission, which has a pretty good tuition reimbursement incentive. For one year, I can do that. Some hospitals are not as...

    New Grads in the ED (?)

    Headhurt replied to Evelyn2003's topic in Emergency

    I've been in the medical field, in one area or another, for the past 10-plus years (funny, I don't feel that old). I cut my teeth in a LTC as a CNA, worked my way up to Med Tech, eventually ending up...

    Advice for School Consideration

    Headhurt replied to melessia's topic in General Nursing

    Let's see...I did my pre-reqs in summer of 98. I worked full time, so I was only able to take 1-2 classes a semester (academic classes). I was in a car accident in 2000, and I was out of school for a...

    Advice for School Consideration

    Headhurt replied to melessia's topic in General Nursing

    They must have changed the Fundamentals/Concepts rule since I have started. Paint me corrected! If you are uncertain about the NET, they have study guides in the campus bookstore, and the school also...

    Advice for School Consideration

    Headhurt replied to melessia's topic in General Nursing

    I forgot to mention that the nursing division office secretaries at PVCC are of no good use. Two of the three people that work in that office are rude, crude and hateful to nursing students...and they...

    unwelcoming clinical sites

    Headhurt replied to BSNgrad2004's topic in General Students

    One of my clinical instructors once told me that the reason some nurses hate being followed or paired with nursing students is that they are not very good nurses...and they don't want you to find out....

    I'll just be a Nurse! (rant)

    Headhurt replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know where you work at, but my patients do not sleep all night. I wish they did so I can sit on my butt, eat and read magazines

    Abuse Towards Nurses...

    Headhurt posted a topic in General Nursing

    Is it just me, or are patients getting worse?? In light of the whole change of focus being on customer service rather than the healing arts, I feel like it has gone to the heads of a lot of people....

    Question about Graduation

    Headhurt replied to Guest26407's topic in General Students

    I am a class officer for my nursing class, and here's what we have experienced so far about our pinning (which will take place in May). In the past, all students were required to wear all white. Our...

    Ok that hurt

    Headhurt replied to LovKeisha's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds a lot like my mental health class...and the class after us. Bunches of people did poorly, which was a red flag for the nursing division. I don't know much about Excelsior or anything, but just...

    Nursing Benefits- Your Input Please!

    Headhurt replied to allsmiles's topic in General Nursing

    I remember hearing about the days where hospital employees had to pay peanuts for really good healthcare coverage. Not so anymore!!! My kid brother installs and services windows, and his benefits are...

    More Fights between CRNA's and AA's?

    At the risk of sounding like a dork... What's an

    Abuse Towards Nurses...

    Headhurt replied to Headhurt's topic in General Nursing

    I totally agree with that. Administration is after the almighty healthcare dollar. We have a lot of competing hospitals in KC, and there's new ones being planned or currently being built. I think...

    fish philosophy

    Headhurt replied to athomas91's topic in Emergency

    I initially thought you were referring to the Salmon Philosophy... Work hard all day to swim upstream, just to get screwed and die in the end. :D

    Barely Passed

    Headhurt replied to Banginplates's topic in General Students

    The first semester is generally the hardest...different testing methods, different learning, just different everything!! The study methods that gave me A's in non-nursing classes were not working for...

    Advice for School Consideration

    Headhurt replied to melessia's topic in General Nursing

    Whoever you talked to about the PVCC nursing program is wrong. The 8-5 program is that of the LPN. The RN program DOES have a part time option...and you pretty much decide which classes to take...

    Advice for School Consideration

    Headhurt replied to melessia's topic in General Nursing

    I'm going to PVCC and have one more semester til graduating with an ADN. As far as nursing programs go, I think PVCC is okay. If I had to do it all over again, I probably would've gone to Avila. They...

    Is it just me.....

    Headhurt replied to ledu35's topic in General Nursing

    When my father was in an unexpected accident and placed on a vent in Wichita, I lived in KC. I didn't hear about the accident until 4 hours after it happened. When I finally got a hold of the hospital...
