  1. San Jacinto College ADN Fall 2009

    Fly_Dayton replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Flu shots are going to be offered at San Jac on the 22nd and 23rd of September apparently. 25 dollars, first come first serve. The 22nd won't work for any of us since the time is from 8-11 am, but the...

  2. San Jacinto College ADN Fall 2009

    Fly_Dayton replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Bleh, that would suck. I was talking to some people while waiting for the lab to open and they were saying the regular one gets them sick. I think this is why I've avoided that immunization as long as...

    Fly_Dayton replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Really now? That's quite interesting. . .I may have to make a trip over to St. John's and see if that's the case there. If not I'm still only out 12 dollars which is okie dokie for me. But free rocks!...

  4. San Jacinto College ADN Fall 2009

    Fly_Dayton replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Ouch. That's a lot. I'm pretty sure my physician has it, and since I've (still) got my parents health stuff, it's only 12 dollars. At least, it had better be. Can't imagine paying 30 dollars to be...

    Fly_Dayton replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Oh okay. Guess I'll start reading more about happy fun SNA stuff then. And I suppose mandatory flu vaccines too, if I must. I guess my sending a document that is signed by my doctor to the hospitals...

    Wow, was this sent in an e-mail? Thanks a bundles you guys for helping to clue me

    Fly_Dayton replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    I feel like I missed a big chunk of something important then : / Somebody have the patience to explain to me in stupid people terms then? :

  8. San Jacinto College ADN Fall 2009

    Fly_Dayton replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Well, question wise, it'll be about the same. Difficulty wise, it's hard to say. The amount of different material will be a bit shocking, but I still don't think this is harder than anything we've...

    Fly_Dayton replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Not : D Never had the flu so no reason for me to hog a shot when someone who needs it more deserves to have

  10. San Jacinto College ADN Fall 2009

    Fly_Dayton replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    FYI: For some reason (rumor, instructor not having the right time or whatever), the skills check-off is NOT 15 minutes. Rather, it's 30 minutes. And exhale...now. Confirmed this with Miss ****** today...

  11. San Jacinto College ADN Fall 2009

    Fly_Dayton replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Yeah, it needs to fit in a folder with the three metal prong thingies. I have no idea how to describe it, so yes, punch three holes and you'll be good there : ) The order it goes is: grading criteria...

  12. San Jacinto College ADN Fall 2009

    Fly_Dayton replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Oh, well in that case I would go by the checklist. As for the whole not having the armpit on there, that's funny. Maybe Mark created the list. . .I can't let it go : ) Believe it or not, I'm actually...

  13. San Jacinto College ADN Fall 2009

    Fly_Dayton replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    I think we wash hands first, then introduce our selves, then make things incredibly awkward by asking the manikin if it wants to be bathed by students. My first thought on the gloves is yeah, just...

    Fly_Dayton replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Bleh, I did forget. It'll be better tomorrow when I can

  15. San Jacinto College ADN Fall 2009

    Fly_Dayton replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Going through the book mostly. Just picking up generalities. Most of it is pretty self-explanatory like cleaning the eye and other assorted areas. I'm trying to remember the few specifics that there...

  16. San Jacinto College ADN Fall 2009

    Fly_Dayton replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Not yet. If I get a slow period I may. More focused on getting the bed/bath/hand washing stuff down. It's not hard, but I don't want to fail it because one of my corners wasn't mitered or because I...

    Fly_Dayton replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Ooh, that sucks. At least it's not terribly hot out right now (still miserable anyway I'm

  18. San Jacinto College ADN Fall 2009

    Fly_Dayton replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    That length will be fine. I think you have a good topic that will suit itself pretty well to a shorter length. Of course, I thought that about mine and found I could have gotten another 4 pages so,...

    Fly_Dayton replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Re-read Chapter 45 then :

  20. San Jacinto College ADN Fall 2009

    Fly_Dayton replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    I think a lot of people did pretty average on that test. The class average (which is for everyone) was 74. That means half of everyone was under that, and the other half was above it. I wouldn't freak...

  21. San Jacinto College ADN Fall 2009

    Fly_Dayton replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Well you could always try another college. It's not a guarantee that you'll get in (for some peculiar reason, failing out of one seems to follow a person from school to school). I came off too harshly...

  22. San Jacinto College ADN Fall 2009

    Fly_Dayton replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hooray! Thanks Melissa. I think you're right, sleep is easier than vitals : D As a side note, the LVN program, despite being shorter, is NOT any easier than this. I have a friend going through one...

  23. San Jacinto College ADN Fall 2009

    Fly_Dayton replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Yeah. I still hate it though : p It was a killer for those who DO have hospital experience. Scored a 78 or so on my pre-test. Though, like I said before, the questions were better in my

  24. San Jacinto College ADN Fall 2009

    Fly_Dayton replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'm talking about the whole not getting points for anything if you pick 1 wrong one. Obviously the NCLEX is like that, the instructors have been beating us over the head with that :

  25. San Jacinto College ADN Fall 2009

    Fly_Dayton replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Awesome. A good paper is a happy paper! To get back to my hatred of MNL, ch. 29 is funny. If I see one more pick all the right ones, but if you don't pick all the right ones, or even just wrong one,...
