I am looking into Lpn- RN programs, Excelsior college has popped up in my search. For those who are going through or have been through their program, is it worth it? My Hubby is concerned about them not being Legit. LPN's how much credit were you g...

"For example, nurses don't listen to lung or heart sounds, don't insert IVs or draw blood and there are no standing orders' What do nurses do in Ireland, meaning what is expected of them?

I am from Kentucky, we have a ton of these. One of my favorites is if the mom has a good fright during the pg the baby will be "marked" as in have a big birthmark. Also if the mom lifts her hands over her head, as if to reach for something, it will ...

:uhoh21: :uhoh21: That is not only unsafe and unsanitary, its just plain gross!! EW! EW! EW!

This guy is way out of line. My husband was a Navy recruiter a year and a half ago, he NEVER did things like that. Any idiot knows that is a sure way to scare off the applicant. He was probably short on his quota and was in for a butt chewing. If you...

Trying to makee my final decision whether to go the distance route to RN or Traditional route. For those of you who graduated EC and had little or no college credit, about how much did it cost you in the end?

I don't have any specific adivce related to nursing, just wanted to applaud you for braving all the negativity and homeschooling. I tried to HS my son who has Aspergers syndrome (and Autism- like disorder) and AdHD. I simply could not do it , had a ...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHa :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: My 9 year old must be the healthiest person in the world, its like a tic with him, he does it without realising it. I wish he would stop!

I have noticed some lotions have become very thin. Nivea cream is very good, but it does have a very strong smell. If she is looking for a lotion for work, scent needs to be taken into account as a lot of patients (and co workers ) are sensitive to...

First let me say I am 100% for a womans right to make that decision for herself. But I want no part in making it happen. It is not something I want on my conscience (sp?). In cases of rape or incest or fetal abnormalities such as anencephaly, I woul...

Keep your original plans. Your other daughter is really too young to fully enjoy DL . Consider it time well spent with your older daughter. It will make her feel special to have you to herself for a while. When you get back, make plans to do somethin...

You Rock!!!

I found this link on the EC site, it gives some general prices, some of exams, I would call EC for actual current prices though, just to be certain. http://www.excelsior.edu/pdf/ADN_costs_brochure.pdf

I would be fine with putting a Nic patch on this lady. I would NOT be fine with helping her outside to smoke. Just a thought, isn't assisted suicide illegal? I refuse to help someone kill themselves, even if it is slow suicide.

Don't waste your time or money. These types of pills help noone but the seller. Ever heard the phrase "snake oil"? There is a saying. "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is."

Once used Cliff notes to write a paper on The Odyssey. Never actually read the book, just the notes. Got a B plus. Not too shabby.

Sounds like a bad adult film!

It could be any number of things but none of us can Dx you on a message board (nor should we try to). You really should see your M.D. Particularly if this is a common occurence. I hope you feel better.

My advice to you is take all the Biology, Chemistry, Anatomy (science basically)that you can. Biggest advice though is try not to get too wrapped up in boys and lose sight of your goals and end up neglecting your schoolwork, I did and have regretted...

Hi there! Welcome to Virginia. I live in Va Beach also. You are going to like the weather so much more here. (other than the occasional hurricane scare). winters are so mild. If it snows 2 inches everything shuts down, its funny. If you want to che...

I was absolutely terrified of having a C-sec. The thought that someone would think that is preferable to vag is insane to me. I can see where someone who had a previous section may not want to attempt a VBAC, I wouldn't myself, for the risk involved,...

My sons dr has given him Remeron before for the specific reason that it has the side effect of appetite increase and sedating effects, due to the ADHD drugs tending to rob his appetite and make it sometimes difficult to wind down at night. I would a...

JnJ Tyson- " The only long term result of my manic stage is debt." Boy do I hear you on that one!!! That is my MAJOR mania thing. And Insomnia.

I am on Wellbutrin, Prozac, and Topomax. I figure I will be on some sort of psych meds for the rest of my life and I feel no shame in that. I was diagnosed Bipolar at age 22. It never interfered with my work. I am lucky in that I don't have a severe...
