    Should I wait? or should i Go?

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

    I don't know what part of So-Cal you're in. I'm assuming if you're looking at Kaplan San Diego then you aren't very close to the Inland Empire/Orange County? Kaplan has a program in Ontario, but you...

    This really makes me angry!!!!

    lrobinson5 replied to Seda8OR's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I agree with the above statement. A lot of times teachers will reuse an exam for a long time. I would make sure at the very least you get them to change the questions so the test bank is still not out...

    Is the diagnosis "risk for infection" still appropriate when pt has an infection

    lrobinson5 replied to elliemae121's topic in General Students

    I don't have an answer, but I kind of want to add on to what you said. I was very confused doing care plans because I got more than one answer. If a patient has, lets say a respiratory infection, why...

    This has been bothering me...

    lrobinson5 replied to tss2507's topic in Men in Nursing

    I don't get people. I thought it was always the stereotype that male nurses were gay, in which case women have nothing to worry about. So which is it ladies, you have to make up your mind! Joking...

    Discrimination Against Relocaters

    lrobinson5 replied to WillRegNurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Sort of like when someone assumes that a high school drop-out is low class and drags down the nursing profession? Seriously, you have to see the hypocrisy in your two threads. It doesn't feel good to...

    Nursing Career Suicide for New Grad?

    lrobinson5 replied to knufflebunny's topic in Nursing Career

    I am a firm believer that you can never plan kids. It is always the wrong time or at least there is always a better time. I hope you can work something

    One More Strike and I'm Out. (Venting)

    lrobinson5 replied to gymnut's topic in General Nursing

    What actually made me have that hot fuzzy headed feeling was having a mask on. Re-breathing the hot air just really got to me or something, I hope you work it all out

    Will computers take over the CRNA profession?

    West Coast University - BS Nursing

    lrobinson5 replied to iNurs's topic in California Nursing

    Thank you. They JUST got their accreditation in November, and I was not aware of this. This means that you will be able to transfer to the colleges you were asking about. Still, at $130K for a BSN I...

    What is keeping New Grads/less experienced Nurses from being hired and solutions?

    lrobinson5 replied to ceebeeRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It is a dangerous suggestion to take a paycut. If you are willing to work for x amount of money you are lowering the standards all around. You deserve to make the money you earn, because you helping...

    West Coast University - BS Nursing

    lrobinson5 replied to iNurs's topic in California Nursing

    1.) Yes, you will need prerequisite courses, but I believe that is included in the 39 month time-frame you are talking about. If you choose to do pre-reqs at another college they can evaluate them and...

    Craziest Thing You Saw a Surgeon Do.

    During surgery one of the residents waved around a degloved foot like it was sock

    **Venting Thread**

    lrobinson5 replied to Pneumothorax's topic in General Students

    When it came down to a very similar situation with my school I simply didn't do it. It's 1% of the overall grade and I have children to

    Will computers take over the CRNA profession?

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

    Surgical robots would operate on people that are already knocked out. Not sure how a robot would go about conking someone out

    Would you take these 3 classes at once?

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

    Oh gosh, while I would never recommend taking those classes at the same time (I took A&P II, Micro, and English 1B in the same semester and it didn't go very well lol) I would say you will have...

    checking foley catheter balloon

    lrobinson5 replied to Ruth1417's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    At school we are taught it isn't necessary because the chances of the balloon popping/leaking is so low. However, some of the clinical teachers swear by it and insisted we did it, regardless of what...

    EMT in Nursing School

    lrobinson5 replied to Deredain's topic in General Students

    They are just going to expect you to be more comfortable with assessments I think. I know that the assessments are different as an RN, but the actual act of doing an assessment is something that isn't...

    75qs I think I failed. =/

    lrobinson5 replied to bayareastudent0711's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I hate SATA questions in school! I always check all of the correct answers but then add one more and bomb the whole thing. At least now I know I really need to find those types of questions and...

    Why are there no nursing schools with built-in prerequisites?

    lrobinson5 replied to EMT-newbie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I thought that every BSN program out there has it all rolled in to one. Yes, it may be broken up into a "pre-nursing" major and then you start clinical in the second half of your degree, but it does...

    What site to buy books???

    lrobinson5 replied to ruth88's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Textbooks.com does a search of many book sellers and shows you the lowest price for new, used, and rentals. TBH though, most of the time the cheapest book comes from half.com which is what I use 99%...

    The most comfortable Nursing Shoes

    lrobinson5 replied to Tziganka's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    For clinicals I've been using Skechers Shape-Ups. They have a work-shoe line that come in all black or white. Since we needed all white shoes for our uniform I tried them out. Very padded and...

    New nursing student question...what do you use to carry all these books?!

    lrobinson5 replied to TiffTiff's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I use a JanSport rolling backpack (got on clearance for $35 this time last year from officemax). I actually haven't been using it as much since pretty much all of the books include an access code for...
