Thanks for the response Chris. It's not even so much the kinds of beats but the overall noise level is very high. If you ever sat though any type of lecture where the speaker used a lavaliere microphone you probably know that noise when they are re...

I have a question regarding the Cardiology III. I guess it pertains to any but this is what I had purchased. I just entered nursing school and wanted to get a good stethoscope. However, when I use it I am getting so much noise from the tube rubbin...

I've been wondering the same thing actually. I'm curious about which books we need to carry around and which are simply to have at home for follow-up when studying (i.e. Taber's). BTW - There is a place online called Medisave that has good pricing o...

I'm not staying on site but I can't say that I saw that mentioned anywhere.

I got a letter from WPSON about the Summer Enrichment Program. As you read through the letter there is a remark about [...] if you attend the entire day you would earn one hour of your required community time for this year. Does anyone have any mo...

This just in... West Penn Hospital will be closing it's ER in January 2011.

I received the textbook listing for year one yesterday in the mail. After a quick check on amazon.com, all of the books including a couple of inexpensive study guides that could accompany some of the texts top out at about $930 if anyone is interes...

I got my acceptance letter Thursday!!! Looking forward to getting started!!! Who needs free time anyway? Right?

CONGRATS!!!

For anyone who's been accepted for the Fall 2010 start... Care to share the book list/equipment and supplies list to get a feel for what expenses await prior to the start of class?

Well good luck to ya (and everyone else waiting that painful wait... LOL)

My paperwork was delayed because my lovely HS didn't bother to send my transcript as I requested almost two months ago! I didn't find this out until the beginning of last week two days before the TEAS test when they called to find out where it was. ...

Congrats! Now the suck part... the wait... ugh!

The online tests they provide you with are very sub-par compared to the actual tests I felt. Not to mention there were a number of questions on the TEAS that were very sloppy. I'm in a hurry trying to take an exam. I shouldn't have to pause to fig...

Keep in mind that when you buy the two pack of online tests you actually take the same test twice!

I really think this falls into... If you have to ask you know the answer

I hear that. I actually didn't finish the math section because I lost track of time. The last heads up we got was at the ten minute mark. It wasn't hard it just takes some time to work through the steps. I found it a little overkill regarding the...

I took the 4.0 version. I hear the 5.0 is a tad harder although that's only word on the street.

In most areas there are MH/MR positions that require the company to staff the homes 24 hrs a day while the clients sleep. In my area these jobs usually run from $8-$14/hr and you can usually get a far amount of study time in during your shift and it...

The school that I applied to is also using the TEAS for the first time this go around. I wonder if ATI is shopping it more to nursing schools or if the school are trying to raise their potential pass rate for the NCLEX down the road?

I found the ATI book a good study resource but the online test is much easier than the actual test when it comes to the science portion. I'm also not a big fan of the fact that when you pay to have practice tests you pay for taking the SAME test twi...

A&P classes can be very different from class to class to begin with. He's a weird example. I was taking A&P at a local community college. The satellite location I was taking it at was too hard to get to due to traffic around rush hour so ...

Any job you get or school you get into that wasn't based on merit or life experience is an insult to anyone that has worked hard to get where they are. If that college is still using that system for admitting students it should loose accreditation a...

My girlfriend is currently going through Chatham for her doctorate in OT. She seems pretty happy with the program. It's online so it accommodates her hectic work schedule.

This type of class you would think would be pretty straight forward for acceptance. It's book knowledge unlike classes like A&P or some more lab based courses.
