What GRE scores did you need/have to get into your MSN program? What schools did you attend?

Well, the whole enjoy you time and learn your nursing certainly applies, but I think the book you should buy and scan, then maybe read relevant chapters as you encounter the cases in you ICU practice is Stoeltings Basics of Anesthesia. Covers the ba...

I got this press release from the PRC on the U of I campus. I cna't beleive this fight has been going on since 1989 and the administrations still does not "get" it. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 28, 2006 Anti-"Chief" Organization Applauds NCAA Appea...

Yes Sociology!

I used the REA guide. Sat in Barne's & Noble drinking coffee reading it (too poor to buy it!). Read it in a weekend, passed on MOnday. GO CLEP it.

I am considering a move to Cincinnati after I get my RN next May (07). What hospitals have a good working environment (decent ratios, pay, atmosphere, educational opportunities). I am interested in going into critical care and would love to start a...

Yes Yes and Double Yes I am probably at the top of my class academically. I have had nothing but glowing evaluations on my clinical rotations. I had one clinical instructor who did not "take" to me and tried her best to give me an unsatisfactory ev...

I am doing the Rn-BSN at Wyoming becasue of the cost and the fact I could start after my first year of the ADN program. I will finish my BSN about 6 months after getting my RN. I heard a lot of positive feedback about the classes too. So far, so g...

I ended up choosing U of Wyoming. Cost was a big factor. Also, I was able to start after my first year of the ADN program. I should be done about six months after getting my RN. One course does require a local preceptor (COmmunity Health), but I ...

For CNAs Yes. For RNs with at least a year experience, yes. New Grads, I don't know. I have not seen any new grads on the floors but plenty of new (to BMC) nurses. Contact the units directly to see if they are looking for new grads. But as I poi...

I start my second year of the ADN tomorrow and finish in May 2007. I am also concurrently enrolled at U of Wyoming doing the online RN-BSN and am hoping to have that done by May 2008 (or sooner). Call up the people you met at BMC and see what is u...

I am working at BMC as a CNA while in school. During orientation, the nurse manager said that almost all of the new grad jobs go to those already working at the hospital in other capacities. She said that was true with the other Boston hospitals. ...

Not so true in my case. I had undiagnosed esophageal spasm for 25 YEARS! I woudl go to the er in so much pain I was sure I was having a heart attack. After years of taking NSAIDs for spinal pain. I finally realized these things were often triggeri...

Just took the sociology exam. Studied only the REA guide for about 8 hours total. (Over a few days). Got a 75/80 (50 is passing at most schools). Buy the REA guide and study the week before the exam.

The crocs worked for rme! I had unrelenting Plantar Fascitis for 6 months. Within a week of wearing the crocs, the pain subsided and I would say I was pain free in in a month. I then purchased some inserts for my regular shoes from the Walking St...

Barnes and Noble too.

Go to the faculty. They get free samples of the texts they use. Explain your situation and ask to borrow what you need until the $$ comes through. You may also look in the library (local branches too). THey sometimes have the books you need on re...

What sort of program are you interested in?

I can't say enough good things about Prof Klepper at www.Iowacconline.org The class was fantastic, and even though it was not required, I went on to take the 2nd half -- organic and biochem. The labs were half hands on with household products and ha...

Never mind. I read the entire thread and realized it was dealt with. Good luck with this!

That is all well and good for your program, but in my program, we got our clinical assignments in pre-conference that morning. I had my PDA and had my drugs, patho and any info I was unfamiliar with looked up before I hit the floor. My classmates wer...

I just cared for a patient who was "sundowning". She was perfectly lucid when I took her vitals in the afternoon, then when I came to do them again after sunset, she was agitated, paranoid and trying to get out of bed. No one on the floor knew this...

When a product is inherently unsafe by design, and there is not voluntary change within the organizations which use these products, then yes, government has to step in. Some children, even when placed in carts appropriately, are escape artists. My ...

I am a CNA/nursing student and was caring for a very dark skinned Haitian patient on dialysis. As I was giving her a bed bath, I was horrified to see how dirty the washcloth was each time a rubbed her skin. I was sure no one had bathed her in a very ...

I am bumping this becasue I would really like to know the anwer. Anyone?
