  1. How many days and hours per week.......

    RedSox33RN replied to fourblessings's topic in General Students

    My fall schedule is, Nursing101 (8 credits): Mon - lecture - 7:45 - 10:15 Tues - clinical - 7:00 - 3:00 Wed - lecture - 7:45 - 10:15 Fri - lab - 10:30 - 12:30 No other classes, since they only offer...

  2. USA Scholarship Services

    RedSox33RN replied to newgrad2005's topic in General Students

    I've heard that a lot of those are scams. You send them your money, and basically you get a list, the same stuff you can get off the internet or at your library, of national scholarships available...

  3. Fired Again ~ HAHAHA!

    RedSox33RN replied to Town & Country's topic in General Nursing

    That is incorrect information. You should give the long-acting. So what if I'm not a nurse yet? I'm a Type 1 diabetic, and know my way around insulin. Long acting insulin will NOT affect the...

  4. Fired Again ~ HAHAHA!

    RedSox33RN replied to Town & Country's topic in General Nursing

    It doesn't say what kind of insulin was withheld because of the low blood sugar. If it included a long-acting insulin, that could have been given without any short-acting for the time. I know how...

  5. Thoughts about childcare during procedures

    RedSox33RN replied to Energizer Bunny's topic in General Nursing

    Now, THAT statement is rude and somewhat hostile statement. Just because she is unable to find someone to care for her children when she has a blood test, that means she should not have had them? So...

  6. Is taking basic Biology & Chemistry together a bad choice?

    RedSox33RN replied to gemini08's topic in General Students

    I just took Human Bio last semester, and I was the only student applying to nursing school. It was mostly for non-medical majors, but I got so much out of it. I hadn't taken a Bio course in 20...

  7. Medication Errors? How many are allowed?

    RedSox33RN replied to TKD momma's topic in General Students

    I'm curious after reading this thread: For all that have made some kind of med error, can you tell how it was made? I'm just wondering if it is stuff like the pharmacy sending the wrong med,...

  8. ER last night made me mad!

    RedSox33RN replied to smk1's topic in General Nursing

    I heard that on ER also, and it made me mad. I thought they specifically had real MD's and RN's on the set to correct anything that would be wrong. I guess I erred on that thinking - it must be just...

  9. What exactly is the EFC of financial aid?

    RedSox33RN replied to studentnurse74's topic in General Students

    There was questions about net worth. Sometimes companies include your home as part of your net worth, but FAFSA does

  10. What exactly is the EFC of financial aid?

    RedSox33RN replied to studentnurse74's topic in General Students

    Just a thought - You guys/gals didn't put in the net worth of your home or anything did you? I *almost* did that, but all of that is exempt. A friend of mine had done it and her EFC was much higher....

  11. Theft

    RedSox33RN replied to Caligurl's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry this is happening to you. I would definitely contact and talk to an attorney. Document EVERYTHING you have said and done so far - an attorney will ask for that - including as many names,...

  12. Migraines...what helps you?

    RedSox33RN replied to Keysnurse2008's topic in General Nursing

    I'll take the ER, even thinking I'm drug-seeking, over a 3-day migraine anyday of the week, and twice on Sunday. With 4 kids and school and a household to run, I can't be in that much pain for 3...

  13. What exactly is the EFC of financial aid?

    RedSox33RN replied to studentnurse74's topic in General Students

    Good Lord!! Did you double-check to make sure there are no errors? I know wealthy kids going to Yale that have lower EFC's! I guess I'm lucky - sort of: My EFC is 884, because we have 4 kids and...

  14. Any good websites for medical terminology?

    RedSox33RN replied to NCNurse2be's topic in General Students

    That's the workbook/study guide we used for our online course also! It is a great book. It actually helped me quite a bit with my Human Bio course, because there is a lot of A&P in it

  15. Migraines...what helps you?

    RedSox33RN replied to Keysnurse2008's topic in General Nursing

    I'm the same way - had them since I was very, very little. I've been through everything. The blood pressure meds don't work for me (I'm diabetic and some mask symptoms of a low). I used to use...

  16. Any good websites for medical terminology?

    RedSox33RN replied to NCNurse2be's topic in General Students

    I just completed an online Medical Terminology course through my school. I got CD's with my books, and flash cards, which helped a LOT. I don't have any website, but maybe a Google search will bring...

  17. Any Words of Wisdom- Starting 1st Sem.of Nursing School

    RedSox33RN replied to StudentNurse04's topic in General Students

    Great thread with great advice! I do worry about the study group thing, especially since I live so far away from everyone and the school. I'm hoping there will be someone or something close to

  18. Alternate Status???

    RedSox33RN replied to RNSuzq1's topic in General Students

    I'm so sorry, Susan. I know how incredibly frustrating all of it is. It just stinks that they make you re-apply also. Great way for THEM to gather a little more money, though. :angryfire I think...

  19. Insulin Sliding Scales

    RedSox33RN replied to CyndiW35055's topic in General Students

    Just a quick note, that in your notes you should not use the word "regular" unless you are referring to the actual insulin, especially since the pt. is getting Regular insulin also. My endo taught me...

  21. compartment syndrome-did I cause it?

    RedSox33RN replied to Lynn RN ER TX's topic in General Nursing

    Just chiming in here, for no other reason than to say I wish I was at one of the institutions that no longer gave Phenergan IV when I was hospitalized 2x (3 and 4 days respectively) last December for...

  23. How long to get into school?

    RedSox33RN replied to Bruucebuff's topic in General Nursing

    You have to apply to each of them separately. They all use the same looking application form, but you just have to fill out one for each campus (checking off on the front which campus you're applying...

  24. Two students caught cheating......

    RedSox33RN replied to HyperRNRachel's topic in General Students

    i absolutely agree with you. cheating is lying - saying to a teacher "here is the work i did", when the person didn't do it at all. people get away with cheating or lying once, they'll do it...

  25. How long to get into school?

    RedSox33RN replied to Bruucebuff's topic in General Nursing

    Most of the colleges are full for 2004. I was accepted into the Nashua Tech this year for their 2004 nursing program, but decided not to attend there, but Rivier instead. They only had 16 spots...
