    Teas Test

    lrobinson5 replied to valeeriahh's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I would get the study booklet from ATI as well as the practice test online. I would make an educated guess rather than leave something blank. There is no penalty for a wrong answer, and there is a...

    CRNA Schools No Experience Required

    lrobinson5 replied to utahskiier's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    It does not exist. Many colleges are thinking of requiring even more work experience, not less. Others are also in the process of switching to a doctoral program in anticipation that it will be...

    Who is responsible for your health?

    lrobinson5 replied to jcasablanca's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    It is not currently a right in this country. I think it is funny that people point out those that do not take care of their chronic conditions as a reason we shouldn't create a baseline coverage for...

    West Coast University - BS Nursing

    lrobinson5 replied to iNurs's topic in California Nursing

    I think you should ask the CA BON why they feel this school is acceptable. You obviously feel that these nurses are unsafe for practice, so why not

    West Coast University - BS Nursing

    lrobinson5 replied to iNurs's topic in California Nursing

    You are assuming that the classes are less strenuous than other universities, and I don't know if that is the case, just as you don't. I would assume that with WASC, CCNE, and BON approval would mean...

    West Coast University - BS Nursing

    lrobinson5 replied to iNurs's topic in California Nursing

    From what I have heard from this university is actually interesting. While anyone can get in, I don't think they take it easy on you. I think a lot of people drop out when they realize there is a...

    Postacute management of pancreatitis

    lrobinson5 posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Normally I don't ask questions on this site (thank you google!), but in this instance I can't seem to find an answer. I am trying to read ahead through the biliary disorders. The disease process makes...

    Riverside Community College FALL 2012

    lrobinson5 replied to ting3177's topic in California Nursing

    For those that need to have CPR: I go to RCC and found this place on the AHA website. They have a ridiculously flexible class schedule. Seriously, they do BLS classes all the time. I scheduled the CPR...

    So I guess it is true...

    lrobinson5 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Students

    I was going to say something, but I have already said it and others have said the same numerous times. Her being uncomfortable writing a letter of recommendation does not equal you doing anything...

    So I guess it is true...

    lrobinson5 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Students

    I'm going to end by saying this. Doing well is not the same as a letter of recommendation. She doesn't want to write the letter, maybe because she's just lazy (who knows?), or maybe it's because of...

    So I guess it is true...

    lrobinson5 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Students

    I think you are taking her words the wrong way. Just because she doesn't want to write a letter for you doesn't mean she should have failed you. You are taking it WAY too personally. She didn't want...

    So I guess it is true...

    lrobinson5 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Students

    I don't see why this person has to write you a letter of recommendation. Maybe you are passing but she doesn't want her name on the line for something you do later on. I have no idea what you are like...

    Do nurses use their wristwatch in real life nursing?

    lrobinson5 replied to northmississippi's topic in General Nursing

    I think almost every hospital in my area uses pumps, so we haven't even learned how to count drips in school. I would think that one uses it every day to know the time and take a quick pulse and...

    Postacute management of pancreatitis

    Ok, THAT makes perfect sense. It was weird that they didn't have that in our textbook. Thanks for the reply

    Low undergrad GPA....can't get into NP school.

    lrobinson5 replied to raindrop's topic in General Nursing

    Are you SURE that you can't retake classes at a CC? A lot of them say an undergraduate cumulative GPA of ___ to enter. While your nursing courses may not be retaken, science courses definitely can. I...

    Low undergrad GPA....can't get into NP school.

    lrobinson5 replied to raindrop's topic in General Nursing

    Not trying to be rude, but how bad is your gpa? If the cutoff for the school is 3.0 and you have say, a 2.8 it is a lot different than someone with a

    The False Advertising of For-Profit Institutions

    lrobinson5 replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in General Students

    One of my favorite commercials from one of those colleges is for a respiratory therapy problem. It has the soap opera camera quality and it shows a little hospital cribs and alarm starts beeping....

    I got a JOB!

    Do you tell patients you might be related?

    lrobinson5 replied to guest64485's topic in General Nursing

    Eh, I would probably introduce myself with first and last name. If they come to the same conclusion that you did (you might be related) then they can inquire further. That way you know they aren't...

    Should I wait? or should i Go?

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

    Oh jeez, yeah I meant Everest lol. I always get confused. I would have to say that when I tried to call Everest they never got me to the right person, but they would have an admission rep call me...

    Should I wait? or should i Go?

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

    Since you're in the OC and are considering Kaplan, I would look in to Ontario as opposed to San Diego. I think your best bet is still waiting to go to a community college. You save SO much money that...

    Failed the TEAS :(

    Did you do the online practice test from ATI? It is like the review book but in the same format of the test. I used that and their book and scored very
