  3. I'm infertile...and worried about my OB rotation

    Southern Magnolia replied to nurse2b013's topic in General Students

    I haven't started ns yet but I lost one of my twins when they were a month old and have had four miscarriages in the last two years. I know how you feel when you see babies or pregnant women. Add to...

  4. "Group quizes"?!

    Southern Magnolia replied to dp1200's topic in General Students

    I would have a real problem with this and would be discussing this situation with the powers that

    Southern Magnolia replied to cschafer0818's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What worked for me is notecards and lots of time. Before lecture I read all suggested material and highlight things that seem important - definititions, processes, . . . After lecture I break my notes...

  8. Your advice for the HESI A2

    Southern Magnolia posted a topic in General Students

    I know there are other threads out there (and I've read them all) but there hasn't been one recently. I'm looking for your advice/ experience taking the HESI A2 entrance exam. No offense intended...

  9. Three years.....

    Southern Magnolia replied to Chameleonchick's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The BSN I plan to do is 5 semesters (no summers). I think many are 2 - 2 1/2 years. Three seems a bit much but the length often has to do with the fact that courses build on one another so you can't...

  10. To the accelerated (A-BSN) students: Any regrets?

    Southern Magnolia replied to xInspiredx's topic in General Students

    I am a 2nd degree student hoping to begin a traditional BSN program this fall. I had to make the same decision you're making and I chose to go the traditional route. Just my opinion but I thought...

  11. is it true?

    Southern Magnolia replied to mee9mee9's topic in General Students

    Nothing comes off your transcript. Most likely the school has a policy that you can only retake the same course once and that sciences are good for seven years. So you have to live with the grade...

  12. Nursing..a middle age career?

    Southern Magnolia replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    I wonder if younger women are being encouraged (and prepared) to go into fields that they weren't once encouraged to go into and less so into nursing as an automatic. (Not that there aren't male...

  13. Cna & Pct?

    Southern Magnolia replied to dreher101's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Here PCT's typically can draw blood and have a couple of other skills CNA's don't have. My confusion comes in because the hospitals hire CNA's and then do inhouse training anyway so I don't get why...

  14. What are the BEST and WORST States to practice as an NP?

    Southern Magnolia replied to Roland's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    AZ resident chiming in . . . I'm in Tucson but I've spent lots of time in Phoenix. "Redneck" is not anywhere near how I would describe Phoenix. You'll find a contingent of old cowboys and the like in...

  15. Cna & Pct?

    Southern Magnolia replied to dreher101's topic in Arizona Nursing

    For a hopsital in Tucson I was told I'd have to have either a CNA cert or PCT cert or 2 semesters NS clinicals. I know a couple of tech schools are offering PCT here but I think this is something...

  16. How will the new healthcare law in 2014 NOT create more jobs?

    Southern Magnolia replied to xInspiredx's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    But look at what the provider gets compared to what is charged. I just got a hospital bill for an ER visit from my son. $600 was charged, $350 was written off, $225 was paid by insurance, and $25...

  17. Nursing student CNAs passing meds in ALF

    Southern Magnolia replied to blessed2bfree's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a CNA and the state I trained in (IA) CNA's could not give meds but after additional training you could be a CMA certified medication aide. It was an additional training comparable to CNA...

    Southern Magnolia replied to Southern Magnolia's topic in General Students

    Kaybee, Thanks for much for the reply. I never would have thought of earplugs. Great

  19. Question on accelerated BSN/MSN combined prgms

    Southern Magnolia replied to want2banrn's topic in General Students

    I guess it all depends on where you are and the details of the program. I am a 2nd degree student planning to begin a traditional BSN program in the fall. There is also a direct entry MS program in...

  20. ADN Students Whom Already Hold a Bachelors in Another Field

    Southern Magnolia replied to TheCareerStudent's topic in General Students

    Well, I definately don't think I'll be the "god of nursing" should I choose to pursue an advanced degree. Your smart to think about getting as much schooling under your belt while your young. I...

  21. Your advice for the HESI A2

    Southern Magnolia replied to Southern Magnolia's topic in General Students

    Anyone?

  22. Hepatitis B and Employment

    Southern Magnolia replied to nursestudent101's topic in General Students

    I'm curious if anyone has actually been denied employment or admission to nursing school for being hep b, hep c, or hiv positive? It would seem to me that would constitute discrimination. In the...

  23. Starting A&P

    Southern Magnolia replied to Marissad6111991's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Read everything, take notes, make note cards, study until you could teach it to someone else. If open lab time if offered take advantage of it. Draw (even if it is stick drawings) everything you...

  24. ADN Students Whom Already Hold a Bachelors in Another Field

    Southern Magnolia replied to TheCareerStudent's topic in General Students

    The problem I have with direct entry MSN programs is that typically you will not be certified for advanced practice afterward. You'll be at the same point from a clinical and professional standpoint...

  25. May 2011 NAU accelerated nursing program hopefuls!

    Southern Magnolia replied to RunMT's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Run - Confirm this of course but . . . I was told for the traditional program that you could not have your lecture and lab from different courses/ semesters. With that said you should look into...
