  1. state board back ground check.

    While I do think it is ridiculous that they won't give someone a straight answer to this question BEFORE they spend thousands upon thousands of dollars, only to find out that it was all for naught, I...

  3. Thanks for the info. I looked at Rio, but the courses last into Oct. I was looking for a summer one, as I'm starting nursing classes in September. I was lucky finding the Edukan one for A&P 1...
  4. I just finished an online A&P1 class with Edukan, but they are not offering an A&P2 for the summer. I see that CCC has already begun. I didn't know if there were any 100% online A&P2...

  6. I could never readjust my sleep pattern all at once, so broke it up over a few days with several 2-3 hour naps. That always helped me get on to schedule without

  9. Lantus insulin use

    Before I went on an insulin pump (with just Nnovolog), I was on Lantus. Started out just in the evening, but I was not getting 24 hr coverage. I am sensitive to any insulin, even as a Type 1, and...
  10. A&P CCC Online: Are online tests timed?

    I didn't take A&P with CCC, but I would imagine they are timed. I've done a lot of online courses, and all had timed tests. Otherwise, what is to prevent someone from looking up every answer?...
  11. CCC Online versus Rio Salado for A&P class

    I just finished, today, A&P 1 through EduKan. It was an intensive 6-week course, and everything was online, including tests and labwork (with A.D.A.M.). It was very hard doing it so quickly, a...
  12. A little dissappointed in allheart.com

    I got a good price on my Littmann stethoscope there, and the penlight also. I didn't recall the sticker (or maybe just haven't pulled it out yet), but I agree with the Goo Gone. We've had a bottle...
  13. How many RN's scrub?

    I hope you guys don't mind me butting in. I'm starting nursing school this fall, and my dream is to become an OR nurse. I must agree with your statement, Melissa. There are a few hospitals around...
  14. Warning issued on pregnancy drug

    I am a "late" DES baby, born in 1967. Besides unusually heavy menstrual periods since age 11 (10 days minimum, very heavy), I've had many, MANY abnormal paps, Had cryo done at age 18. I did not...
  15. Need quickie relief for child's allergic reaction

    I'm glad Trey is doing better!
  16. What are web courses like?

    I've taken many online classes also - just pre-req courses though. Some are all online, some have 1 or 2 classroom meetings. I'm a very self-motivated student, and the worked well for me. I will be...
  17. 13 pound infant...thank goodness it was c-section!

    I couldn't sleep either, Jennifer. I spent the last 2 months of my pregnancy sleeping in a recliner or propped up on the sofa. The minute I laid flat on the bed, I felt like I was
  18. 13 pound infant...thank goodness it was c-section!

    I've had big babies, had GD 2x (1st and 3rd preg), but no signs of it at all with my last, 4th pregnancy (even with weekly blood draws, and me checking at home), and A1c never got above 4.8, but...
  19. How often are the Dads prosecuted?

    The pregnancy may have helped turn things around, but I think you did the bulk of it with your attitude toward it. You made her realize the importance of education, which is 90% of the battle. I had...
  20. Rh question

    I had a friend become Rh sensitized, and they didn't know how because she'd never been pregnant - supposedly. Going back over her menstrual history, they discovered she'd probably had a miscarriage...
  21. Bilingual or not?

    I'm having a hard enough time trying to speak "A&P1" language! :rotfl: I don't need anything else to take on right now. In my area of the country, the only thing we even remotely see, and...
  22. I haven't read through the whole post (up to 23 pages!), but I will say that I have several reasons. 1) I like the medical aspect of it - I find medical anything fascinating. 2) I know that I will...
  23. I have to be bathed by my classmate???

    My CNM was always taking in students, many of which had never performed an exam. They would do the exam with her present, then she would do it again afterward, just to be sure nothing was missed. I...
  24. I had a good experience just recently. I saw my NP for a full physical, and gave her my health form from the nursing school I'll be attending. She was really sweet, answering all of my questions...
  25. Purchasing Textbooks? Best ways/cheapest?

    I got a list of what I will need in September, the required AND the optional, and have already bought 2 on eBay for about 1/2 of what the used ones are at my school bookstore. Plus, I am NOT buying...
