Long title sorry! I am about to start at Akron Institute for the MA program but I am hopefully only going to be doing that to get some of the nursing courses out of the way while I wait to take the TEAS test Sep 18th to get into the Jan 2010 nursing ...

This isn't by my SO/DH but this is from a relative. This person said they are going to school to be a nurse but they said i nthe same breath "But I am not going to wipe any butts or mess with puke":lol2:

I decided to take the TEAS on the 18th. :)

i change my mind. i got a lot of bad news about akron institute from some people already in the health care world. this lpn who went to akron school of practical nursing told me akron institute is a big joke in the professional world and nobody wants...

I start school next Wednesday and at orientation we were told that before you get hired at many of the hospitals you get your hair cut and checked for drugs including nicotine because they wont hire cigarette smokers. I don't smoke so it isn't a big ...

Wow I never thought of the lozenges or the patches people need. I wonder if there would be a way to tell an employer you know just be up front and honest and say "I don't smoke but I am an ex smoker who uses nicotine gum to quit if I test positive th...

In our school dress code is scrubs whether you are in the dental assisting program, medical billing and coding, medical assisting, or nursing program you HAVE to wear scrubs every single day even when you are in a non-medical class. No street clothe...

subscribing. This could get interesting. I just don't see why someone would want to go to college and pay 200 for the NCLEX and almost as much for the license to end up broker than a high school grad.

I don't know what to say. Its such a tough job market in the nursing field I guess they are trying to say "If you really want this you won't smoke" I honestly don't know what its about.

Congratulations glad you got back in. That school sounds jacked up especially with the competitive student she sounds nasty!

I read some of the quotes from the Yoder blog and I have to say it was very humorless and quite offensive if you ask me. OP: If you start a blog pm me a link I'll be interested in reading a collaborated blog.

I am sorry haven't been back. I have been busy as a bee studying for a test. Anyway I know I don't need to worry about it yet it won't be until 2011 when I graduate but my problem is the instructor said if they do a hair analysis even if you have sec...

I realize the pet peeves threads date back to 04 for some of them but I wanted to share some stories with y'all. I've been that patient so to speak. For example: Today I had to take my husband's niece to the ER because her left hand was completely n...

I actually talked to an ER nurse at a hospital while my niece was getting checked out after having a cop physically assault her (she was unarmed) and she said the same thing "You can't be a smoker if you work in a lot of these area hospitals." And we...

Thats kinda why I wish I could have started school near by dad in Mississippi because ice storms wouldn't be a worry for me. Unfortunately for that whole thing I live in Ohio and its already cold. I can't picture what we have coming for us this wint...

Then don't reply. I failed to see the point in your reply.......... Also if you look BACK at the pet peeves thread you'd know what I was referring to.

Akron police are known for being abusive.

I was told at Akron Institute-OF Herzing University that I have to go to the nursing program for 20 months or are you going from LPN to RN that might be the difference? I have to do 20 months with no previous nursing degree. They take FASFA and I kno...

These stories are so interesting! I am glad I get to read them.

Cool well I don't know all the rules sorry. I am just about to be a student and saw the title pro-choice and prodding and what not it got my eye.

I think I've probably done it more than once in the past. I've also gone to the ER for stupid stuff when I was brand new at momming stuff and thought something was an emergency that turned out to be something that could have waited like when my son w...

just wanna subscribe..........so i can continue to read this thread.

cannot find the edit button so the edit is in the quote.

Hoping you get more replies this could turn out to be an interesting thread.

I guess I better pray to get into a Catholic hospital although someone told me before they dont make as much as reg hospitals and I've heard other stuff. The abortion issue has actually made me cry and almost vomit before. I cannot even debate about ...
