Consult with your nursing handbook which should have clear definitions on rounding. Also ask the instructor, as each one can be different. At my school we round all drop questions to the nearest whole number. (Obviously you can't administer a tenth o...

What about Risk for Impaired Skin Integrity. He has diarrhea and immobility issues.

This is so frustrating!!! This is exactly why people go around and call themselves "nurses" when they are clearly a medical assistant or technician etc. (The lady who signed you up needs to be set straight and reported) We work our butts off to be c...

I'm currently pregnant and in nursing school. I'm going with a CNM who delivers at the hospital. She's awesome and I wouldn't trust anyone for my care. She's in practice with 3 other docs just in case. I like the idea that they are holistic and I wil...

I attend LCC and yes we are required to do 4 hours of Community Service each semester. It's nice though, we can choose where we volunteer.

Congratulations!!!! It's a wonderful feeling. I'm finishing up my first semester of NS and remember the feeling when I got my acceptance letter. I did the same thing and just read the word "congratulations!" Enjoy it because the real fun starts when ...

I'm currently in my first semester of NS BUT I can completely relate to "stressing out" about getting in. I swear everyday the mail would come I hyperventilated. :) Then when I did get the letter, I didn't even read it I just looked for the bold word...

Nursing school is challenging but sounds like you're organized which is crucial. You CAN'T fall behind. Stay on track and always know what you have next to do. Now I start clinicals in 2 days, so I can't give advice on that yet. NS is what I expecte...

Yes! I made it through my first week of nursing school!!! I feel like I've accomplished quite a bit already. :w00t:

I've been offered a seat into a nursing program starting Jan. 2008. Let me start out that I'm well aware of all the benefits and what it takes to be a nurse. Trust me all I wanted for 4 years (taking classes to be accepted into nursing school) was to...

Thank you for the advice! Do you mind me asking what state your niece lives in? I live in MI.

I had all the pre-reqs and the required classes completed. I would suggest having most if not all completed this way it can boost your GPA and give more completed credits towards the degree completed. Which then = more points possible. Feel free to p...

I applied one time and was accepted. I start Jan 08. I did apply one time prior but never finished Math 112 so technically I wasn't eligible. I feel confidant with the requirements and gaining the most points possible (most students who have been acc...

thanks for the info! that's really helpful. i was accepted into the program and was hoping to start this august was picked to start in jan. 2008. oh well i'm just thankful to have been accepted. i also had 75 pts. did you work while in school? i'm de...

Lansing Community College offers a part time option. It's 8 semesters (Spring, Summer, & Fall.) The clinicals are offered a few days a week in the evening. You may want to check it out.

I agree with all the others!!! Go for it and don't let anyone get you down. (Easier said than done when you may not have the best support system.) However it takes hard work and passion to become a nurse. I've just been accepted into nursing school, ...

Have you ever thought about Lansing Community College? You should check out their program.

You know I may not be able to give much advice, as I'mjust starting nursing school myself. However I wanted to lend some support and say that my school offers a "career ladder" program, in which after the first year you can sit for LPN boards. Then c...

ok first off let me say I've always intended to be an RN. I've been accepted into the program and should start within a few months. JUst in the last few days I've been having "thoughts" along the lines of: Is this really what I want to do? Are there ...

No not a Gemini an Aries. haha Why do you say? Enlighten me... :)

I've also applied to EMU's program. However I was accepted into my first choice. EMU was a back up. I still submitted everything just to see if I make it. Good Luck to everyone! :)

I just received my acceptance letter from LCC!!! I'm so excited and feel consumed with so many emotions. I can't wait to get started. I feel so fortunate to be given this opportunity. Here's to all the future and current nurses!

Yes I'm starting the 2 year program. I'm *trying* to start in the fall, although I was picked for Spring 08. My orientation is Wednesday so I should know more details then. I'm assuming you already have a BA since you're looking into the accelerated ...
