I work as a Nurse Extern. I am in the 4th block out of 5 in my BSN program. The Extern program allows me to work 24 hours per week when we are not in school (so, all summer & winter break) and then 24 hours per month while in school. That way ...

I am becoming a nurse for all of those reasons. The skills and tasks are one thing, but being able to touch a patient's (and family's) life during a difficult time makes the :redbeathe happy. ~ 14 months until the NCLEX

I think unless you have friends/family in nursing, you just don't quite get it!! I am not a nurse just yet, but I am in a BSN program. I have an 8, 6 & 4 year old & I LOVE it when people say to me "Well, you're going to school, but you don'...

I have a blue green "The Basics" Kaplan book that is for all of my NP. I didn't pay extra for it - maybe a fee in my tuition (I don't like to look THAT breakdown LOL) We also got access to the site & practice... Not sure which one it is, but t...

I'm applying to NAU in the Fall ('10) and I am going to take FON 241 (Nutrition) at Rio Salado. Do I have to take the lab along with it for it to count as my pre-req??? It says "suggested" not "required for credit" or something so I'm wondering if ...

Try this out: https://aztransmac2.asu.edu/cgi-bin/WebObjects/Admin_CEG It's the AZ Course Equivalency Guide. It will tell you how classes at community colleges transfer to the 3 AZ universities. I know at my local community college, they do not of...

Yeah, I never got an answer so I just took a chance w/out the lab. Didn't need it. I don't know if you've taken classes at Rio Salado - but get ready for LOTS of writing. It's not "hard" it's just a lot of "doing." Be thorough. I went throught a...

I think this is great advice. I start in January & I will keep this in mind. I feel like I know I'm about to face the toughest thing I have ever been through in my life and yet I don't even really know what exactly is ahead of me. I have clas...

WOOO HOOO - - - I got my acceptance letter today from NAU!!! So excited to start in January!!!!! :w00t:

I applied to Northern Arizona University. I should get "THE LETTER" any time w/in the next week or two. The anticipation is making me crazy!! :0) I can't wait to start the program!!!

Sorry I was entering that last one on my phone & something malfunctioned. Anyhow theres a waiting list and you have to get on it asap. :0) "

She told me she takes her son to the one base daycare as a drop in & that if you want to go there, you have to get on their wang list a

I feel for your friend! And WOW $550 a WEEK!!! I got my CNA hoping to work & get more hands on experience while in school, but basically any shift I work I will basically make just enough to pay for daycare because all 3 will have to be either...

One thing that was helpful for me was going over Medical Terminology before and during A&PI. Knowing what the parts of the words mean really helps you understand. You can get Med Term flashcards. I printed this out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...

(*City of Yuma preschool is M-Th*)

My sons are 8, 6, & 3.5. Mine are in school 8-3pm. One benefit of being a poor student is I qualify for Head Start. :) I had my kids in Wonder Kidz (Arizona Ave & 24th St.) and they were EXCELLENT! They just opened in January, but their ...

Oh & if you live in Yuma, EVERYTHING is close. :) The MCAS is about 10 minutes from the school & everything else is about the same. :) I hear 29 Palms is verrrry boring... Good luck with whatever happens.

Hey MMDearing. I actually live in Yuma, AZ and just applied to NAU & Arizona Western College (AWC.) AWC's program does not have a waiting list. HOWEVER, you basically have to complete ALL of your prereqs AND coreqs in order to get in. Usuall...

Well FYI to anyone searching for this answer - "NO" you dont have to take the 1 credit Nutrition Lab course.

Here's the info: Order: 0.1mg/kg/min Label: 0.5g per 70mL Drop Factor: 15gtt/mL Pt. Weight: 220 lbs Find the flow rate in mL per hour. Please help!!! I have tried it a couple of ways. Asked instructor for help, she said review the chapter (no ex...

Sorry for a delay in my response , but THANK YOU ALL for your help!!! We had 3 chances & I was panicking because I bombed the first 2! I PASSED IT though! Now... on to Statistics!

so I X by the 15gtt/ml but it cancels out the mL so I had to multiply by the gtt per ml (10:1) but then I was wrong... I dunno what she wants me to do...

I got 84mL/hr but then she told me I needed to multiply by the drop factor.

Not a knee-slapper, but "cute funny": I'm pre-NP and doing CNA training right now. Last Friday of clinicals in the NH, another student and I wheeled a Spanish-only speaking resident to the dining room. A Spanish speaking aid said something along th...

I am in the CNA class right now and working on my pre's and co's for the NP (hopefully Spring '11 for that!) I am getting my CNA for the pt. care experience and to hopefully get a job that will be "understanding" of my future goal of becoming an RN ...
