  1. what's the purpose of those archaic care plans?

    micajoieLAc posted a topic in General Students

    Can someone please explain to me what exactly we're supposed to learn from them. We spend so long filling out all the forms we don't actually have time to learn anything of value about our patient or...

    micajoieLAc replied to micajoieLAc's topic in General Students

    Nurse56, thank you for the link, I will look through when I have a minute. Ashley, I've done just that, we'll see, I didn't get much help the first go request, maybe it will be two times a charm, if...

  3. what's the purpose of those archaic care plans?

    micajoieLAc replied to micajoieLAc's topic in General Students

    Ah ha, Thank you Joy, I did finally find it. Clearly not enough has changed in the teaching of care plans or at the very least in the explanation of care

  4. what's the purpose of those archaic care plans?

    micajoieLAc replied to micajoieLAc's topic in General Students

    My original post question still stands, what exactly are we supposed to be learning? How to think like a nurse, the different forms we fill out have yet to help. Clinical is the only place I feel...

  5. what's the purpose of those archaic care plans?

    micajoieLAc replied to micajoieLAc's topic in General Students

    the problem is not everyone learns from sitting in front of a computer screen. I would get WAY more out of care plans if someone walked me through the thinking in action, that's where care plans are...

  6. Question about Gateway CC's FTPN program and taking other classes

    micajoieLAc replied to hotnurseintraining's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Teacher, I took 205 during the summer at Paradise Valley with -----, Awesome guy! His ex was a Nurse so he's aware of what you need to know. Also one of my classmates in Gateway's LPN program took...

  7. Gateway LPN Fast Track

    micajoieLAc replied to AZmom's topic in Arizona Nursing

    For anyone that doesn't get in take Human pathophysiology, you will be so happy you did! The class sets you nicely for the first block. The exams ask "NCLEX style" questions which are so different...

  8. anxiety attack during an interview

    micajoieLAc replied to sammer's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Sammer, Heart and Jobless have great advice. One of the challenges to interviewing is we never do it. Heart mentioned doing practice interviews with friends and family, I can't think of anything...

    micajoieLAc replied to Crystal74's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Deeval, You have an advanced placement application to fill out (it's on the Maricopa site). There is not a list like there is for the traditional RN program. They place you based on your HESI-PN...

  10. NP jobs in AZ?

    micajoieLAc replied to Kim2's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I would strongly suggest the VA, it's an excellent hospital out here. I know for sure ALL their wound care nurses are NP's and with your prior military service it would make paperwork processing...

  11. lack of preceptor spots MCCD

    micajoieLAc replied to kss0740's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Please keep us posted on their progress. As a student moving though the system I would hate to have my education delayed by bureaucracy, though it wouldn't be the first

  12. Made it through Block 1 PN @ Gateway, my experiences..

    micajoieLAc replied to rzyzzy's topic in Arizona Nursing

    miteacher, there may be a confusion going on. No Gateway does not normally do "summer session" the accelerated LPN program starts/ends earlier than the traditional program, i.e. we actually started...

  13. Made it through Block 1 PN @ Gateway, my experiences..

    micajoieLAc replied to rzyzzy's topic in Arizona Nursing

    tolerating mediocrity is a form of condoning it. It's too bad a school with such a great reputation allows this type of

  14. Made it through Block 1 PN @ Gateway, my experiences..

    micajoieLAc replied to rzyzzy's topic in Arizona Nursing

    you obviously had the day program. The quizzes in the night program are insane, they don't reflect the material lectured in class nor do they reflect the reading material. One of our instructors is...

  15. 15 yr old misdemeanor a thorn in my side!

    micajoieLAc replied to LB49er's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Know your rights, not all states make you declare things that are so old especially a misdemeanor. You might just be shooting yourself in the foot. Do some homework on what your state requires, they...

  16. Nursing school compared to Bio202

    micajoieLAc replied to mom2a1c2's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Wouldn't pathophysiology be included as part of the nursing program? I'm hoping to start this January. Yes and No. Patho used to be a pre-req but now they say it's been incorporated into your...

  17. Nursing school compared to Bio202

    micajoieLAc replied to mom2a1c2's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Pathophysiology...I second that! I just started NS at Gateway and am already glad I took that course. There was a thread that nearly every other person said to take the course so i modified my work...

  18. Anyone taken Pathophysiology at PVCC?

    micajoieLAc posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    Since I'm stuck waiting I thought I would use my time wisely and take Pathophys but not sure what the class is like. I imagine it can't be much more work than BIO 202 because they are both 200 level...

  19. Anyone taken Pathophysiology at PVCC?

    micajoieLAc replied to micajoieLAc's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I loved the Pathophys at PVCC, I took it with ----- , she also teaches Nurses so she is more clinical in Pathophys than scientific. It's work though and even harder if you are still in BIO 201/202,...

  24. RN or Accupuncture?

    micajoieLAc replied to ZenStudent's topic in Holistic
