Have you looked at Holy Names in Oakland. It is worth speaking to an admissions person there. It is expensive though, but a good a school and maybe they will give you a chance depending on your other grades.

Hi Thanks for the friend request. I went to a school called St Francis but it has closed. I don't know much about west med. I had a classmate that went there before ST Francis, and she said she felt the program wasn't teaching her much, so she left a...

We had a capping ceremony the night before we began our clinicals. It was a great milestone in our program. It was inspiring to be capped/pinned and recite the nursing oath. It was something that really helped us to keep going when it got hard. Congr...

In California just for the record CNA and MedTechs are different. As a CNA I was not suppose to give Meds in the facility setting. When I was hired as a MedTech I could only function under that certification/licensing, not my CNA or my LVN when I got...

I am a LVN who use to be a MeD Tech and I never saw anything on my NClex prep or test concerning MedTechs. I saw CNA delegation ect but not Med techs. I will try to look in my old training manual if I still have it lol and see who governs that. But a...

The order reads Ambien 5mg 2tabs po qhs, mrx1 what do you think this is? I thought original Order of two 5mg tabs can be repeated once if needed. I was told you only repeat with one 5mg tab. I am confused. What do y'all think?

Thank you so much. I read it to mean repeat original dosage as well. I am going to call my nursing manager to clarify again myself. I definitely don't want to be in error and jeopardize a patient. Also I don't want to give the wrong dosage because ot...

True. If you want something you have to work for it. There isn't shortcuts in quality nursing. Good luck to you. Day 4 you must be so excited. I love nursing school.

Yes many of the prereqs can be done online but many nursing programs do not except the science courses that have a lab from Online schools. Also as the other poster stated it really helps to be in class for those foundamental classes in nursing. I to...

It works! I took mine on the 8th got the good pop up the same day and got my official letter today.

I didn't do a retake but I thought if you failed you just paid Pearson to schedule a new date after the required wait and took it. honestly if you are close enough I would drive down to Sacramento. I also had luck with emailing them when I had questi...

I have never heard of a program that offers an ADN approved by the board of nursing that does have clinicals at all. I would check that out with your state board and really ask the school what you graduate with upon completion . Will you be able to s...

It is very hard but doable. I would recommend if possible not working. At least your first semester. It has mostly been difficult for me because I am single and live cross country from family so financially it isnt an option not to work full time to ...

Make sure you wait until you officially are enrolled in the program to drop your current school. Well if it was me if one program is day and the other evening I would over lap and do both for the few months, but if not possible go into the RN progra...

I decided to go that route because I am in a state that has insane waiting lists for programs and I have had friends waiting for 2-3 yrs to get in and your prereqs are not good after 5. I know someone who waitied and now has to take some things over...

exactly what i was thinking tcgirl start with nursing board because you can look for programs in your area on net but they may not be approved, which is the case for a few in my area. if i had gone there i wouldnt have been able to sit for nclex and ...

My teacher just told me that they will start including verbal scenerio questions on the NCLEX in the future. Such as a recording will explain a clinical situation and you will be asked to recount information and make an assessment. The reasoning is...

I agree with another poster that suggested you speak with your teacher. I would suggest to her/him a logical middle ground like maybe your partner could be someone like a close friend in class, who will give you a bath and you her for observation ou...

Nursing fundamentals, A+P, Med Surg, Drug dosage, Clinicals, Skills lab. We also go through alot of medication classification and terminology. We have a few projects on all of the subject to pull it all together. We have tests back to back. It has b...

I would agree relax abit, because it is an intense ride. If you have a job start figuring out how you are going to organize your time to do both well. Set your life up to be a student now. If you dont have to work I wouldnt. Yes the A+P is good, bru...

Wow Thanks for posting this I think I may encouter this a bit and reading the encouragement everyone is giving you is very helpful. I get nervous when people are watching me at times and even in lab I get nervous when my classmates are watching me pr...

Congratulations!!!!!!! You are Awesome.......

I come on this site to take a moment off from school and see whats going on but yall are way too insane for me. You never give the sacasm and resentment a break huh. Have fun in the workin world girls it should throw you for a loop. Thanx for the ...

Ladies if you are in school or trying to get into school the type of time you are taking tearing each other down could be used studying really. This is why people flunk out getting caught up in silly auguements and easily getting offended by things t...

:lol2:Well I was wondering how yall are doing? I have been going hard in my program for about a month and a half now. 7 tests down, a million more to go. My excitement is still high and I am so glad I did this. We went to one of the hospitals we a...
