I work in an inpatient pharmaceutical research company. NO VISITORS, locked units, no phone calls (other than to their cells), strict bedtime and subjects have to obey all the rules or risk getting kicked out (aka not paid complete payments). We get ...

I finished my BSN in Feb 2015 at WGU. You simply can not beat the cost. The assessments are not that difficult. I hate to admit this, but I rarely read the text books. I would work through some of the other information available and then take the ass...

I start at the end of this month. How has it been so far?

YMCA pays $250 a week plus free tuition the week I was working for only 1 child. Another option was to do 2 weekend stayovers in exchange for 1 weeks tuition for 1 child. The camp is over an hour away and I wasn't working at the time of hire last sum...

Congrats! I just graduated myself earlier this month. Do you have your foot in the door anywhere (working as a CNA or Unit Clerk)? Or was any particular nurse or clinical instructor impressed with you during clinical. If so, start with these avenues....

Hi all! I may have posted this before but can't seem to find the thread if I did. I was wondering if anyone has done the senior practicum at either UK or Central Baptist. I haven't found anyone in the class ahead of me that has and I was wondering wh...

Have you checked your mybin account? Thats how we found out last year. Go to https://mybin.bluegrass.kctcs.edu/ and enter your KCTCS username and password. Then click on Check my selective admission file. If there is a Yes it means you are in. If the...

I would ask to see something in writting if they say yes. The recruiter is there to sign you up for the military... they don't give a crap where you end up. I was raised around a base, attempted to enter the military, and befriended my recruiter. Aft...

I think you can find about a million nursing school videos on youtube that do the trick. I wouldn't waste money on something I could get for free.

I honestly had an intructor tell me (RN nursing student) we could not apply heating pads or ice with out a doctors orders... I nearly laughed so hard I peed! I doubt that is true (I had other instructors contraindicate this) and even if it is, I will...

Oh my, bless your heart. That sounds really scary; you got my heart pumping just reading it! While a lot of things COULD have gone wrong, you handled it the best you could and it all worked out. I would think the pressure of pushing would be more tha...

My brother is a doctor and he is really supportive. No way do I have the time, energy, or interest to become a doctor. He tells me how proud he is of me for going to school to be a nurse. Sometimes, I get lost when he talks to me (still being a stude...

Just pick off the label and no one is the wiser! I love mine but don't like the show and what it stands for so I won't advertise for them.

I am excited to be in an externship at UK this summer. I need to get my uniforms and they said the color is "UK blue". Scrub colors are so close I can't tell if it is royal blue, patriot blue, or galaxy blue. I think this is the color the RNs wear. ...

I have those shears and I LOVE THEM! They are quite large though so I usually leave them in my bag and opt for a smaller pair. I need to use them more because they are great. I have a pocket holster as well but I never used it. It weighed down one po...

Get sized and then try on Playtex 18 Hour comfort lace bra. No, it is not a sexy bra but OH MY, my back is not killing me at the end of the day like with other bras. Wire free but the boobs don't sag like with other wire free bras. Heres a link: htt...

WOULD LOVE TO SEE A PHOTO OF SAID UNIFORM!!! lol

Can't figure out how to post the picture but I saw this one flipping through a Lydia's catalog. Flash back to the eighties! Bring back the Aqau Net hairspray to match this monstrosity! http://www.lydiasuniforms.com/scrubs/products.asp?sku=8415L&c...

Never mind! I found out (it's galaxy, BTW)

I have heard the Hurst Review is good. Available through different formats, online being one of them. http://www.hurstreview.com/ I plan to skip Kaplan and use them when my time comes. By the way, if you paid for the Kaplan review and failed, you mig...

Maybe switch to hard candies or breath mints if you need to replace gum. My instructor made a student spit out gum in class... felt like I was back in 3rd grade. I wouldn't give a second thought if someone taking care of me was chewing gum or not.

I am doing an internship this summer too. I would go with #1. Keep on as a prn tech after the program ends (if yours is a summer job) to keep your foot in the door if you can. I know the drive is extra but if you already have your heart set then I wo...

I'm not sure what the app is called but it is by skyskape. I think KCTCS and skyskape made a custom package. The cost is $180 for the app from the bookstore. They just give you a paper with a website and an access code. What I wrote earlier is what i...

Nurse Jackie and some other shows ALWAYS put their stethescopes on backwards. Drives me batty. Each time they do it I just say "Aren't hearing much, are ya?" lol

I am planning to finish my bachelors at UK after I graduate next May from BCTC. The stats 200 class is SUPER easy and I am horrible at math. I had to take algebra three times in high school. In order to not do any gen ed classes while finishing my BS...
