  1. Anyone taken the UCLA extension PATHOPHYSIOLOGY course?

    red.tm posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's taught by **************8 and is online. I'm looking for a good online pathophys class to take this summer of fall. Having a difficult time finding recommendations.

  2. Anyone taken the UCLA extension PATHOPHYSIOLOGY course?

    red.tm replied to red.tm's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Woops. I meant to take this summer OR

  3. BSN/ RN New Grad Prospects in Asheville (& Surrounding Areas)?

    red.tm posted a topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Hey folks! Just wondering what the job market is looking like in Asheville and vicinity for a new grad with a BSN?? I know some hospitals/clinics prefer ASNs and some prefer BSNs and so forth. Trying...

  4. McGraw Hill TEAS study guide

    red.tm replied to wannabe an rn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey you guys - if any of you are still out there, can you please send me a copy as well? I'm panicking over the science on the exam (this Tuesday!).

  5. Does it make a difference in new grad hiring? BSN or ASN?

    red.tm posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I was considering doing the accelerated BSN program nearby but see that a lot of new grads aren't finding work yet. I know the hospitals here advertise "BSN preferred" but that doesn't mean that the...

  6. Can you take a blood pressure reading without a stethoscope?

    red.tm replied to matchsticktgt's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Ditto Oceangel & elkpark. If you watch the needle you can indeed obtain SBP & DBP. That comes from my grandfather, a surgeon and veteran. It is certainly not ideal but a good skill for those...

  7. Why does Sonography pay more than nursing?

    red.tm replied to PopeJane3rd's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sure that there are instances where a sonographer makes more than an RN, but they don't make more generally. As a nurse you can earn a much higher salary the longer you're a nurse. With...

  8. TEAS test question...

    red.tm replied to ASpe63464's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Not necessarily. I had the same question. The TEAS test I'll be taking is v. 3.0. Go figure. Ask your nursing program coordinator. ATI is no help,

  9. RN- associates or bachelors degree?

    red.tm replied to golfergirl17's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    It depends on your area, the hospital hiring practices and the number of new ASN and BSN grads being spit out by the local institutions. Where I live, several Universities/ Community Colleges have...

  10. New Graduate RN that can not find a job.

    red.tm replied to luckyboobies's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I know it's an unsound bias (the BSN over the ADN) but since a lot of hospitals fully embrace that bias, I'd look at clinics as well. One way to keep your foot in the door, so to speak, is to to...

  11. Does it make a difference in new grad hiring? BSN or ASN?

    red.tm replied to red.tm's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thanks! I just have to decide if it's a worthy risk (I'd love to go the BSN route). My current thinking is that it just isn;t worth the rick and I should probably go the masters or dr of physical...

    red.tm replied to luckyboobies's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Do you have your BSN or your

  13. Student loans - how much are you paying monthly??

    red.tm posted a topic in General Nursing

    OK, I just read the posts as to how much everyone owes. The real question for me, having just applied to an ABSN program AND an MPT program, is how much are you paying per month on those loans? AND is...

  14. Student loans - how much are you paying monthly??

    red.tm replied to red.tm's topic in General Nursing

    If it were unrealistic then I'd opt for a different degree. Sadly. Thank you guys for your

  15. Student loans - how much are you paying monthly??

    red.tm replied to red.tm's topic in General Nursing

    That is very helpful. Thank

  16. Student loans - how much are you paying monthly??

    red.tm replied to red.tm's topic in General Nursing

    Understood. Maybe the DPT is a better option. I just think I'd really prefer nursing. It has to be feasible financially though. Oh - and community college isn't an option. First, no one here hires new...

  17. First Year After Nursing Licensure-My Story by nrsnic

    red.tm replied to madwife2002's topic in First Year After Licensure

    THANK YOU for sharing your story with all of us, with me. Thank you. You will find the right place. It does exist. It will just take longer than it should. And I'm sorry you ever went through what you...

  18. Student loans - how much are you paying monthly??

    red.tm replied to red.tm's topic in General Nursing

    I understand entirely. Although if I couldn't take out loans, then I'd likely never go back to school. Which is too involved to convey here. I must say though, that debt doesn't bother me as long as...

  19. Student loans - how much are you paying monthly??

    red.tm replied to red.tm's topic in General Nursing

    Are you finding that monthly payment to be reasonable? And to be sure I understood - you're managing $1300/ month out of your salary as a RN (some for loans, some for ed)? I am finishing the last of...

  20. Student loans - how much are you paying monthly??

    red.tm replied to red.tm's topic in General Nursing

    Oh - I know! I really do. I have paid back student loans b4. I've also had massive debt that I paid back (early even). BUT the big difference was that it was my company's debt and it changes the...

  21. Student loans - how much are you paying monthly??

    red.tm replied to red.tm's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks you guys! I understand what I'll be paying per month, but my question is really, how reasonable is it to pay back these $50-70k worth of loans on a nurse's salary? The monthly does indeed vary...
