  1. Catheters to Classmates?

    I know in some schools people run IVs on each other, which are angiocatheters, which may explain the source of it – or maybe it's just a wacky urban legend. (I'm really glad I never heard it, even...
  2. As a former pre-med student, I get plenty of people telling me I should just go be a doctor. And maybe someday I might go be a doctor, and maybe my RN is a step along the way, but for now, those...
  3. Anyne going to HVCC? (Hudson Valley)

    I've got my schedule now, actually, as of this morning -- I expected to be an alternate, but my TEAS score was actually 91% so to my complete shock I actually did get in right away. And am somehow...
  4. Anyne going to HVCC? (Hudson Valley)

    I'm starting in Fall '10 too (and also very shy) -- and terrified so many people apparently already have their schedules! I want to be in the day class (read: I can not actually be in the night class,...
  5. No one told me....

    Even with my Danskos, my feet are killing me at the end of a shift (I work in an emergency department so there's really no sitting, ever, which might have something to do with it). Then again, I...
  6. A Few Simple Rules For Electrical Safety

    This has me, my MD father, my paramedic co-workers, my massage therapist boyfriend, my friend the medical student and my other friend the pre-med student/EMT all cracking up. Thank you so much; it's...
  7. is a change to a nursing career even an option?

    I've got basically no sight in my right eye either (and am 20/20 in the left with corrective lenses as well), and got accepted into a selective program with the admissions committee well aware of the...
  8. Who's taken the teas v?

    The chemistry made me want to bang my head on a desk until my forehead was bleeding. I'm five years out of high school and haven't touched chemistry since 11th grade; there was no way I could possibly...
  9. Who's starting (or hoping to start) this fall?

    I am! I just found out a couple of hours ago -- or else, I hope it's accurate, because the school's website says I've gotten in, but I haven't gotten an actual letter. I'm not letting myself think...
  10. marriage problems in nursing

    You're not. My biggest problem is that while I haven't even begun nursing school yet, I'm finishing up paramedic school right now (I'm on my field/clinical time, which basically feels like having a...
  11. New TEAS V Science Section

    Chemistry. My test was unfairly skewed toward chemistry, which I haven't taken in six years! (I think I got a 53% on the chem questions, compared to a 100% on Biology.) People just out of high school...
  12. 91.3%, and I'm still waiting to hear, but my hopes have been raised by the "99th percentile" aspect. I was expecting to fail! That test scared the crap out of
  13. I'm also a current applicant for Fall 2010 (just got my TEAS scores this morning) and am actually sitting here wondering why I haven't heard about these CPEs -- does it stand for "clinical proficiency...
