    ChuckE replied to AniraP's topic in General Students

  2. Bleak Week

    ChuckE replied to Morning-glory's topic in General Nursing

    To the OP - Our pastor's sermon today was a sort of humorous and rant-type look at Christmas and how the media has made everyone feel inadequate during the Christmas season unless you have a PERFECT...

  3. Question from a student to the seasoned nurses :)

    ChuckE replied to linzjane88's topic in General Nursing

    That's the way I feel. Though I love my kids and have loved children before I had my own, AND have spent 132 days in NICU for my own kids, I'm not sure I could work in peds or NICU or any other...

  9. Apollo College Associates Degree Program

    ChuckE replied to MICHEVOG's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Crangel - I don't know what the A-2 test you are referring to. Just 3 semesters ago, we took the CPat and the NET tests. I have heard that Apollo now replaced the NET with the TEAS test. Is that the...

  10. Apollo College Associates Degree Program

    ChuckE replied to MICHEVOG's topic in Arizona Nursing

    For those who think Apollo College is a waste of money (and simply a bad school), look up the NCLEX pass rate for year to date. It's higher than ASU. *I'm an Apollo College student in 3rd of 6...

  11. Failure to Respond to Jury Summons

    ChuckE replied to Angeljho's topic in General Nursing

    ChuckE replied to FLg8r's topic in General Nursing

    ChuckE replied to FLg8r's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks Mamma. My prereq instructor told me that the nursing dept had no sense of humor but I thought he was talking about the teachers. Some of you need to put yourselves on the organ donor list for a...

  16. Quit after first day of orientation!

    ChuckE replied to FLg8r's topic in General Nursing

    Aren't we a little touchy? I don't care WHY, or even that you're fat at all, overweight, obese, overly-dense, pushing maximum density, etc., and I wasn't making a judgment call. If I was making a...

    ChuckE replied to FLg8r's topic in General Nursing

  21. Apollo College RN Program

    ChuckE replied to crangel's topic in Arizona Nursing
