I work in LTC. I need advice on a reliable thermometer. I know it is best to use the facility thermometer as those are routinely checked and calibrated but ai want one to have if I suspect a temp and don't want to run down the long hallway to drag th...

Mu facility allows it. Most of my coworkers have their own. So do tou have any brands you would recommend? Thank you so much for your input.

Honestly I never see them serviced. The only reason I mentioned it in my post is because I saw in other posts that many nurses attacked the OP about not using their own equipment due to accuracy...etc. I feel the same way you do, hence my post.

So while in the ADN program I had the mentality of "let me get through this and I will worry about getting a job when I know I made it through nursing school". Well, luckily, I am now getting ready to take the NCLEX and I am starting to think about j...

Thank you very much for the advice. I see you are a NICU Gal :)... I think I might want NICU, but again, all my favorite areas are specialties that are hard to get into as a new grad. Oh, well. I guess we will see.

Yes, you have to go to a specific place. I forgot the name, but it is close to Western campus. You sign up and pay online and give them your info so they can start your background check, then you go to their place for fingerprinting. They stamp your ...

As far as I know, they have an exact day when they open up the lists to register for classes and clinicals, and on that day it's a mad dash to get your desired days and times. At orientation they give you a huge list of things you still need to submi...

Oh, thanks, but I already took A&P I & II. I wonder if I can find something like that for Micro or Life span.

I have one more semester of co-reqs to finish before I start NS in the Spring. I have been taking 1-2 classes at a time and I have straight A's. I started school in 2010 after more than 15 years break, so I was afraid my brain could not handle too mu...

You are lucky to have your powerpoints already. My school opens up our Blackboard on the first day of classes, so I cannot get any notes ahead of time. Thanks for your reply. I like to do a study guide in Word so I can study from it, but sometimes I...

Thank you so much for your article. And to those who posted their experiences/ideas. I am starting the nursing program in the Spring and I am thinking into the future. I can taste it. I can't wait to be a nurse. After reading your article I think I ...

I actually have 3 digital files, two study guides and a "cheat sheet" for A & P. If you want them just PM me with your e-mail address.

Do you need study guides? I have two that helped me a lot.

Thanks so much for the info. I guess I will just wait till I start. It makes sense that the books might change till then

Thank you redhead, and congratulations to you as well. I have been on this website on and off for more than two years now, and I am sure it will be a great help now that we are heading into the nursing program. Good luck and I am sure we will see ea...

Congratulations!!! I just got accepted last week. Yaayy for us.

Just a quick suggestion. I started a FB Group for Tri-c Nursing students starting Spring 2012. Please come and join. Thanks

Oh, that is great news. I know I was checking my e-mail a million times a day until I finally got it yesterday. Make sure when you get it you fill it out in Acrobat and mail it right back to them along with the form for choosing your campus. See you ...

I am pretty sure I am starting in Spring 2012 and I was wondering what the procedure is in terms of supplies. Can anyone tell me what is required when you start the Generic Track RN program at Tri-C? Is there a kit we are required to purchase, or can...

Braceshay....I think you might have missed the July applications, but most likely you will get it with the August e-mails. I took my hesi April 26th and didn't realize I had to have my BCI done right away, so by the time I did it and they got all the...

Hello, it looks like I will be starting Spring 2012 at Eastern as well. I look forward to getting to know some of my future classmates before we actually start. It might make the transition a little less painful. I have been at Western campus taking ...

So my school only requires Bio 1100(intro to biological chemistry) as a pre-requisite before you can take the A2 to get into the nursing program. Now I finally started looking tinto the A2 Test and I find out that it includes Chem, A&P, Medical v...

So I just found this thread now, half way through the semester. LOL How is everyone doing? I have to say that after a more that 15 year break and previously having hated anything to do with science, I am doing very well in my intro to bio chemistry....

Hi, thanks for writing. I would love to talk to you some more about this. Here is my e-mail: [email protected]. I hope to hear from you. I have so many questions. LOL
