Is the pt nauseous if they aren't on the med? If so then it is a legit Nursing Dx, and the med is one of your interventions.

The last 2 semesters I have been 0.02 (which was 1 question in ALL the tests) away from an A (which is a 92% BTW, not a 90%) and I still get a B. The same grade that a person who gets a 83.0% gets. Sure it frustrates me, but that is part of nursing s...

To answer your question, yes, that is the very core and basics of nursing. It is pt care. Regardless of whether you are passing meds, or assisting to the restroom, you are nursing that person back to a healthy state. No you won't always get those won...

Hope this makes you feel better....I got a 91.9% last semester, which is an A in ANY other degree course. However, since the nursing program likes to make everything harder I got a B, because a 92% is an A at our school. 1 question, on ANY test the w...

I think we must go to the same school LOL To the OP though, the above is all true of my school, AND we are in all white, must be perfectly laundered and pressed uniforms, with no athletic style shoes, only Danskos or the like, etc, etc. Plus, if yo...

I purchased mine from the same place, and had mine engraved. Great price and great scope!!

Just an FYI, in Ca you are protected under the "Good Samaritan Law". You cannot be sued as long as you are practicing within your scope. My hubby is a FF/PM and I made that comment once, that I wouldn't want him to do anything because here in Ca peop...

Med/Surg I is first semester for us. I think it was pretty simple to be honest. A lot of the info was common sense, or so I think. Listen well in lecture and study like you have been and you should be fine! We start Med/Surg II in fall and already th...

I would go to RCC just based on what I have heard about their program vs Citrus. RCC has a much higher pass rate on the boards and has an established reputation. Either way, congrats! And as long as you do what you are supposed to, both programs wil...

The recent graduating class finished with 50% of the original class. A friend of mine went to Mt SAC a few years ago, and I asked her what the percentage of originals was, and she said 50%. SO here is my theory on this...you can go to Chaffey and hav...

To the OP: First of all CONGRATS!! You are happy about it, and that is all that matters! At least you know this child is coming into the world with one person who is beyond thrilled about them!!!! And lets all be honest, if we all waited for the "per...

We have clinicals once a week, and also have insanely pricey uniforms. Ours were $100/uniform (not including price of patch, or sewing the patch on), plus $50 for the coat, but it is just one of those hoops to jump through. :) That being said, I boug...

I just wanted to give a little heads up for you, while you are right about the cheaper, I am not so sure about the easier :) ADN programs are no joke, or at least where I go! Many of the people where I attend were working and have since quit. Good lu...

If you are really serious about going on I would talk to the nursing counselor at the colleges you plan to attend. I cannot say for Canada (heck not even for the rest of the US) but here is California a ADN or a BSN don't really matter at the entry l...

Chaffey College offers a Pathophys class in the summers.

3.7 GPA and a 89 TEAS. GOOD LUCK!!

As a current student, let me tell you, it is worth it and the good does outweigh the bad :) I am lucky to have a great class! There is no one that is in this all for themselves. Everyone will help everyone out. and we all seem to get along great. We ...

Victor Valley College in the high desert has a new medic-RN bridge program you can check out.

They are accredited, however you if you want to further your education you can only attend National U, because they are the ONLY ones that accept their accredidation board. I looked into them too, and when I saw the $115K price tag I chose to pass. A...

I am in the program. Now granted I am only in the 1st sem, but so far everyone is nice. They do seem very no nonsense. However it also seems that if you show up ready to do your part they are willing to do the same. Always take a look at who you are...

Weight Watchers! Seriously, I used to think "yeah right", however I am 45lbs lighter thanks to them. And I only was "officially" on the program for 1 month (as in going to meeting, etc), but I stuck to the eating and there you go :)

The actual NP does not have night courses, you only get that up through the prereqs.

I don't think that could be true of ANY So. Cal school! If it were you better believe I would have been first in line to turn in my app there :) I am not saying with 100% certainty that your info is wrong, but I just think there is no way that is pos...

I know people who have gotten into Chaffey on the first semester they attended there. You just have to be willing to sit in on the class until someone drops, and be willing to be flexible with your schedule. Like the PP said, don't just go by word of...

WCU does not transfer to a Cal State. You can transfer your degree to National University, and that is about it. Went round and round looking at that route, so I became an expert in how it works LOL
