    Should I take A&P I and Micro together?

    lrobinson5 replied to nat2310's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took A&P II and Microbiology together for the exact same reason--I didn't want to end up applying a semester later. I also was taking English 1B and another class to completely finish my general...

    How could I get my bsn from community college transfer?

    lrobinson5 replied to Latin Student's topic in General Nursing

    Your counselor was correct--they will not require your high school transcripts IF you have 60 or more semester units (or whatever quarter equivalent) completed at a community college. A community...

    Of these Los Angeles schools, which one is least "ghetto"

    lrobinson5 replied to okiedokie123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not familiar with all of the community colleges, but I have taken classes at West Los Angeles College and it is very nice. It is in Culver City, which is a very pretty place, or at least it is in...

    Riverside Community College Spring 2011

    lrobinson5 replied to lrobinson5's topic in California Nursing

    They are Cross Trekkers with the slip resistant sole (SafeTStep). I can't find them on the Payless website, so I think they are on clearance. I think I saw some at the Payless in Moreno Valley, the...

    Walden University BEWARE

    lrobinson5 replied to SassieRN's topic in School, College Programs

    Oh man! I totally forgot that was the sales pitch for WGU. It makes total sense that a university might deny a degree from WGU. I retract what I said before about it being

    Walden University BEWARE

    lrobinson5 replied to SassieRN's topic in School, College Programs

    As far as I know WGU is fine to transfer because they are regionally accredited. A lot of programs care about who the school is accredited by. Programs such as University of Phoenix are accredited,...

    TEAS exam

    lrobinson5 replied to Erica87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I disagree that reading was the easiest part. I absolutely hate tests where there is a more "correct" answer. I guess I like more cut and dry facts than interpretation. To each his own, and good luck...

    I've had it with bedside nursing! What else can I do?

    lrobinson5 replied to PCU_RN9's topic in Nursing Career

    Sounds like you are working on a hectic floor. Tons of nurses that I've talked to in the ER say they always thought they were born to be an L&D nurse, but once they tried it they said it was very...

    When patients attack

    lrobinson5 replied to Ciale's topic in Emergency

    I have always wondered, in situations like this what is an appropriate response? Are you still okay legally if you fight back? I don't know if self-defense counts if it is a patient under your

    SCHOOL??

    I would ask the community college how many seats they have and on average how many native people apply. Maybe they have

    Stopping birth control pills every two years?

    lrobinson5 replied to queenjulie's topic in General Nursing

    They probably have concerns that some women will have difficulty getting pregnant when they eventually do get off the pill. It isn't everyone but I have known women that weren't very old and it took...

    Personality test determines my employment

    lrobinson5 replied to noyesno's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I HATE when one of the tests asks you "Are you maddened when guilty criminals go free?" Do they even need to ask that question? Well, maybe there is a REASON they're asking it? Are they trying to see...

    A moment of your time, please, if you feel so inclined to give me you opinion

    lrobinson5 replied to coonkine's topic in General Nursing

    I personally love the interaction with nurses as opposed to Doctors. There have been a few amazing doctors, but it was a handful out of many. Most nurses and nurse practitioners actually listen to me...

    I have never had any luck answering what I thought they would want. Just answer honestly because those tests are BS. Good

    Panicked!!! HIV/AIDS, HepB, HepC risk?

    lrobinson5 replied to rntobeme's topic in General Nursing

    Also: The chances of contracting HIV through a needle-stick accident is extremely low. You pricked your finger on a pin that might not even have had the patients body fluid on it. If I were you I...

    Panicked!!! HIV/AIDS, HepB, HepC risk?

    lrobinson5 replied to rntobeme's topic in General Nursing

    You can go to the Department of Public Health to get free and confidential testing. If you did contract any sort of disease from that pinprick there is no way you can prove that it happened at the...

    Riverside Community College Spring 2011

    lrobinson5 replied to lrobinson5's topic in California Nursing

    I found a pair of all white shoes at Payless. I got lucky and snagged a pair that was on sale for $20.00. They also have an athletic shoe cleaner to keep them extra white, I think it was $4.00. As for...

    lrobinson5 replied to guest_57352's topic in General Nursing

    I am a nursing student starting this February and I have also been through my Community College EMT program. We did a few shifts in the ER. One was specifically in triage, we basically observed the...

    new grad looking for work!

    I've heard that job prospects are awful in Florida... I don't live there, but it has come up many times when people complain about how tight the job market is right now. Good luck

    Pregnant and nursing school... full or part-time?

    lrobinson5 replied to magn1jes's topic in General Students

    I am about to start an RN program in February and it is the hardest thing to think about leaving my 1 year old for x amount of hours every day. It is sad, but at 1 years old I can cope, but I would...

    ER trys to redirect non-emergency care

    lrobinson5 replied to BackfromRetirement's topic in General Nursing

    I've mixed feelings on this. Sure there are people that come in with a tickle in their throat, but I disagree with allowing an insurance company (or Medicaid) decide what they won't cover because it...

    Advice? Significant Other: "You make too much for what you do."

    lrobinson5 replied to Coffeebeanie's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Tell him money isn't everything, it doesn't measure what you are worth. I would tell him what you do on a given day. They TRUST you not to make an error that can kill someone and they pay you...

    Best new grad residency programs

    lrobinson5 replied to Guest463881's topic in General Nursing

    I just know of ones in my area. Loma Linda University has a new grad residency and they are a reputable hospital. However, I think the longest program is 16 weeks (for the

    How come you don't work more?

    lrobinson5 replied to Schmoo1022's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    People just don't get it. Raising children should be a full-time job for a parent staying home. Not many people have the luxury to have one parent work and the other at home. Your kids are lucky that...
