  1. UAH acceptance?

    litchi posted a topic in Alabama Nursing

    Has anyone received letters from UAH yet? I've been obsessively checking my mailbox ever since the first of the month and still haven't gotten anything, so.. I was wondering if anybody else has heard...

  2. Calhoun vs. UAH

    litchi posted a topic in Alabama Nursing

    I'm trying to decide which program to go for (I'll probably try for both anyway) and would like some input. Between Calhoun and UAH, which do you think has the better nursing program and why? What's...

  3. FL New Grad worried about multiple DUI's

    litchi replied to Eve84RN's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    The 7 year thing is untrue in Alabama. On the application, there are "regulation" questions that ask you about things like criminal offenses and substance abuse. If you answer yes to any of the...

  4. Bad preceptorship assignment

    litchi replied to tajlemm6's topic in General Students

    I can only comment on the way that you've presented things and being entitled is the way you've come across. You were given your third choice, which is still one of your top 3. I can see where being...

  5. Bad preceptorship assignment

    litchi replied to tajlemm6's topic in General Students

    I know you're upset and venting, but come on.. why did you put behavioral health down as a choice if you absolutely did not want it? You obviously had to have SOME interest in it. You might even...

  6. How much did you owe in loans after earning your BSN?

    litchi replied to AllNursesisCool's topic in First Year After Licensure

    When I get my BSN in May, it will be my second bachelor's degree. Both of my degrees combined will still cost less than $40k. Of course, the first degree cost considerably less than it would now...

  7. Help understanding statistics

    litchi posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I just started my summer Scholarly Inquiry class where we read lots and lots of nursing research. After picking up my book and reading my first assigned article, I've quickly come to the conclusion...

  8. Help understanding statistics

    litchi replied to litchi's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Yep. It was one of those things that I didn't think I'd really use ever again. I kinda wondered why I even needed to take a stats class for nursing to begin with.. well, now I know

  9. to email or not to email my instructor about my grade...

    litchi replied to meghan91's topic in General Nursing

    While this might be true at some schools, it's not true of all nursing schools. My nursing instructors will round grades provided that you've attended classes and actively participated. I do agree...

  10. CA new grad RN wants to volunteer in Alabama at disaster sites

    litchi replied to NewGradRN10's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with roser. We've really been blessed with the outpouring of love and support that's been shown to us. There are already plenty of local volunteers from the surrounding communities here in...

  11. Calculation question r/t rounding

    litchi posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm trying to figure out the concentration of a solution, then the concentration and volume per minute and hour. I mostly think I've got the hang of it, but I'm worried about knowing when to round. My...

  12. Compassion or reality for obese patients?

    litchi replied to stefanyjoy's topic in General Nursing

    Why do I have to choose to be compassionate or realistic? Who says I can't be both? The response that was suggested in the article was a textbook therapeutic response. Since I started nursing school,...

  13. a couple quick, general questions about care plans

    litchi replied to clearblue3's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Since you're not sure, I'd just include any medical diagnoses as "history of COPD" or whatever in your assessment. That should work. Like Aleah_RN said, once you get your first one back you'll have a...

  14. a couple quick, general questions about care plans

    litchi replied to clearblue3's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    My instructors always made us include AEB or r/t in our diagnosis. We also had a spot for patient information at the very beginning, which is where we would include medical...

  15. Previous Bachelors degree going into nursing - Should I do BSN or ADN???

    litchi replied to k.ronning's topic in General Nursing

    I think it depends on if you have all your prereqs done or not. ADN and BSN programs are pretty much the same length.. but if you've still got to take two semesters of A&P before you can start the...

  16. Can anyone dumb down this Hesi thing for me?

    litchi replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Students

    Evolve should have sent a report link to whatever email address you entered when you took the test. It does a pretty good job of explaining things if you can find it. I just took my HESI today and...

  17. Should I get my RN or BSN? What if I already have a Bachelor's degree?

    litchi replied to 31dunn's topic in Nursing Career

    I already had a bachelor's degree in another field when I decided to pursue a degree in nursing. In my state, the ADN and BSN programs both take 2 years to complete. I figured since I already had a...

  18. Can't stop thinking about it.

    litchi replied to Nurse Cathy Foley's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Maybe I'm missing something, but isn't it a little unusual to only have a low BP in just one arm? Shouldn't your BP be pretty close to the same in

  19. A follow-up of my only post; RN to MD.

    litchi replied to Loux's topic in General Nursing

    Really? That's disappointing.. unless of course, that means that MDs are starting to use a holistic approach to patient

  20. A follow-up of my only post; RN to MD.

    litchi replied to Loux's topic in General Nursing

    Nurse Practitioner has already been mentioned, so my suggestion would be to compare MD & DO (Doctor of Osteopathic medicine). Of course, I don't know much about DOs.. but they definitely sound...

  21. Students requesting help with HW and interviewing a nurse for HW purposes

    litchi replied to Black Jade's topic in General Nursing

    I already said that if I found someone who seemed up to answering questions in their off time, I wouldn't mind doing that. I don't disagree that in person is best! But if for whatever reason that...

  22. Students requesting help with HW and interviewing a nurse for HW purposes

    litchi replied to Black Jade's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that we students should be putting effort into our work, but asking questions on AN doesn't necessarily mean that we're not. There are 140 students in my cohort that have the exact same...

  23. Students requesting help with HW and interviewing a nurse for HW purposes

    litchi replied to Black Jade's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a SN, but haven't had an assignment like this so far. If I do eventually have to interview a RN, I think the big reason why I would prefer to ask someone on AN would be that I don't want to impose...

  24. No Nursing Program at my school. Advice

    litchi replied to NIUnurs2be's topic in General Students

    I agree with everything caliotter3 said. I'd forgo the biology degree and just transfer as soon as I could. I have a non-nursing bachelor's degree and it has done absolutely nothing for me except...

  25. A decision has to be made...

    litchi replied to brookeycookie's topic in General Nursing

    What program are you going for? How many classes will you be taking for that 7 hours in your first semester? I ask because the ADN program near me is set up where you take 3 nursing classes (8 credit...
