I took the TEAS exam this morning and got an adjusted individual score of 89.4% overall. I got a 97.5 on reading, 97.8 on math, 83.3 on science, and 83.6 on the English. I currently have a GPA of 4.0 and I am taking the 3 prereqs for the nursing pro...

I have been trying to do some research on the pay differences between a new grad RN position at a hospital and a new grad RN position at a LTC facility and have been unsuccessful. In your area is there a significant pay difference between the two lo...

I went to the doctor today with complaints of a severe headache, nausea, vomiting, fever, etc. She said it's viral meningitis. She opted to do an MRI and had the results read today. She called a little while ago and said that my MRI showed a "pocket ...

Thanks.. i know what i posted is very vague. I will definitely be calling them tomorrow. It's been a long few days!

It may be delayed because of the main professors for NUR101 has been out for the past month. They all tend to revise the information a million times before giving them out.

They do offer it.. If you go to bristolcc.edu and then click "Noncredit course search" then summer 2011: health care.. you can scroll down and see the dates. It's $65 which you pay at student accounts when you go to the enrollment center to enroll in...

Student Accounts in G Building

It just needs to be valid through June2012 so that would be fine as long as it's through the American Heart Association..not like Red Cross or something.

I am a current student..you will need to purchase books, a stethoscope, blood pressure cuff, uniforms, a gait belt, a watch with a sweep second hand, a nurse pack (which is a kit put together that you purchase in the school bookstore)... For your mal...

Lectures for NUR101 and 102 are on Mondays from 8-12.. If they do 101 the same as they did ours the days are Tue, Wed, Thurs (you'll have lab one of those days, clinical one of those days, and the other one off). For 102 the rotations vary and can be...

The book we needed was Sheila Ogden - Calculation of Drug Dosages 8th edition ISBN 978-0323045889 But there is a newer 9th edition that came out March 1st, 2011 that is ISBN 978-0-323-07753-8 They always want the newest edition so you'll probably nee...

Do the math chapters (1-15 I think) in your dosage calc book over the summer and then brush up before the semester starts. You'll have a math test on day 2 that you need an 85 or better on (it's 20 questions). Also, do your readings for the first wee...

Congrats everyone! See you guys this fall at the luncheon our class will be hosting to welcome yours :)

That's awesome!! CONGRATS!

I have two kids (ages 2 and 5) and I know a lot of people in the program that have more than that. If you're able to manage your time simply by having the kids then you'll be fine!

I'm in OB right now...we're switching in just a few weeks. My gpa was 3.94..TEAS was 89.4. GOOD LUCK! :)

Good luck to all of you in getting into the program! It's tons of work (I'm in my second semester now) but so worth it.

Hello everyone! It's been a while since I've written on the boards..but I have a question! I have an interview tomorrow morning for a student nurse intern position on a PCU floor. What sort of questions should I be prepared to answer? I really want t...

My certification is through AHA for healthcare providers and we were taught to hold the baby in our arm.

I'm hearing lately that using the "scoop method" is no longer recommended. The risks of contaminating the clean needle by touching it on a surface when "scooping" is a greater risk than a stick from a clean needle.

The technique is with the baby's head in your hand not in your elbow.. With the head in your hand you can properly position for an open airway. Another reason you can perform CPR this way is because you can then go get help while performing CPR ifyou...

I have found that A&P has been helpful for understanding not only viruses,etc..but also how medications work. It is important to know how drugs work on the body to recognize if something will be effective or not.

Being about 2/3 through my first semester of my ASN program (in Massachusetts), I can relate to you. I have 2 children (ages 2 and 5) that keep me occupied. I always wanted to know what I should study that could prepare me for nursing school. I thoug...

I have 4 hours of lecture, 6 hours of lab, and 6 hours of clinical each week for 16 hours total. Some weeks we have 12 hours of clinical instead of 6lab 6clinical. I am in my first semester of an ASN program.

So to sum up-- it's different everywhere. My ASN doesn't have a waiting list, you have to reapply every year. It's 1:20 getting accepted.. The 440 thousand plus people on this message board could put in their info too.. we could do a study on it lol....
