hum.. I don't know if you guys already know, but you should call you LSC campus and ask if you need the meningitis vaccine. I know we (current nursing students need it) at Cy-Fair. Also don't buy a expensive BP cuff. get a cheapo. YzGyz

I had the observation day yesterday. Found garage 2 that leads into the front entrance of St. Luke's. The street's name is Richard Johnson street or something like that. Parking was free. The arm for the garage is cut short for bike to enter and leav...

Hello, I'm a nursing student in Houston and will have to do clinical days at TCH in a few weeks. I would like to be able to ride my motorcycle to and from the hospital so I can use the HOV lane and save gas (bad traffic in the morning and I get ~45 m...

So does this garage 2 belong to TCH? can I find it on thier site?

I will be having clinical days at Houston's TCH. Anyone knows of a cheap/free place to park a motorcycle? It would save me a lot of time and $. I would be able to ride to and from TCH in the HOV while saving gas $$. I also have a obs day at 6624 Fann...

try googling any local Firefighter house. They are CPR certified and some of them give free classes. You just have to find one that does BLS and not the regular one (such as for swimmers). I got mine done at Katy's 4th fire station for like $25.

uptake = when one neuron takes in (via dendrites) neurotransmitter that was sent out by a different neuron (neuron 2 picking up neurotransmitter from neuron 1) reuptake = when a neuron takes in it's own neurotransmitter that it sent out for another n...

Yes, this is very true. Although, I can do 100 all at once. My brothers and I use to do push-up for everything competitive. We would make bets when we bowl. Something like: if you don't hit 9 pins or better, you do 20 (per person you bet against, the...

I wouldn't say it's pathetic not being able to do 25 pushups. I would however say it's not a good thing. Being in good physical condition dose wonders for the body. I'm not saying get ripped up or anything (although that would be awesome). As posted ...

I'm not a RN yet, but i know if i had the time for it, I would totally do it. I really don't see what is wrong with it, other than the act is kinda out of place (like i said, I'd still do it). Is it any different from a smoking break, snack break, oh...

I suggest a ADC stethoscope. I ordered mine off Amazon (which in turn advertised for Medexsupply). I've done a lot of research (probably over 25hrs) befor I went and ordered them. I bought the ADC 603 (comparable to the littemann II) and the ADC 609 ...

My RN program only allows 2 absents. If your late and the door is closed, you just missed out. They are trying to get you used to the rules that will be implemented later on when you become a RN. When your late, the other person can't go home, and yo...

I had to clear this up for my A&P teacher (she is good, but for the life of her, she could not get the point out to the "whole" class). Hydrostatic pressure= pressure exerted by the water or liquid. Imagine a big pipe filled with water. The pres...

Ohh, there's no doubt that nursing is a easy or comfy job. It requires lots of skill, knowledge and education to be proficient in it. All I know is IMO, it's a lot better than plumbing/HVAC. The poo RNs have to face is nothing compared to being waist...

Actually, I would probably never advise anyone to pursue a career in plumbing H/VAC. I'm switching from H/VAC to nursing myself. It's a tough job. It takes a toll on your body big time. I'm only 27 and I have minor back and knee pain. People always s...

I turned all my paperwork in Monday afternoon. No, i was not told to get a titer done. Did you get a false reaction tot he TB test? I think that is when you need to get a titer. Anyhow, the lady that gave the pp at orientation was the one that took a...

yupper, parking sucks down there. It's just ridiculous having to pay for school, books, parking and so many other things. I am not a student attending there, however i did have to go there a few times to turn in paperwork/apps and attend a few RN sem...

As far as i k know, acceptance is based on score only. As for retaking the class to turn it into a A to raise your score, that all depends on how well you do on the hesi. If you can kick butt in the English portion, than you might not have to. The go...

Not to be rude or anything of that kind, but why would a person enter a "unpaid internship" to gain experience when you can do volunteer work? Not only is it experience, but karma. You will feel and others will see your contribution to society. I wou...

yes it was lilag... it took a good while to read that darn book!!! The sucky part was that teh test was based ont eh PP and not as much of the book.. anyhoo.. guess i will see you on monday. YzGyz

Pharm is a 'different' type of class. It is nor really hard, but a heck of a lot of work. I read every chapter that was cover for our first test and was still stumped on a few questions on the exam. As for the blue card, it took a long time before I ...

How come their arn't many post or a sticky on Pharmacology? This class is tough due to the massive amount of info and overlap of medications regarding specific biological disorders. It seems like everyone is only worried about A&P for prenursing ...

kool, thats. I'm not the best at navigating this site. Just so many forums and topics!! Thanks

I'm against this all the way. The idea and intent may have been aimed in the right direction,however it seems to be more to the benefit of the hospital than the 'interns'. It actually seems like the hospital is simply abusing their position and leadi...

Joker? NO... I'm just not the serious type. I try to lighten up the atmosphere to suit my life style/attitude. Yes the class seem easier than I thought it would be. As you stated, it may all change after the first test. I will pm you my e-mail and ce...
