  1. Medications that make you helpless and psychotic for nursing students

    rainbowbrite85 replied to Elsarap's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry but I have never, ever heard of this. Unless this is some wacky, 1960's practice that went along with the times of performing frontal lombotomies (sp) on the mentally ill, I think those...

  2. Continuing Education/Seminars/Trainings for a New Nurse in CT

    rainbowbrite85 replied to rosedale4u's topic in General Nursing

    Just curious, but how did you get through Nursing School and not hold a valid CPR certification? Or did you let it expire? Your best bet is to get your training through the hospital. But I don't know...

  3. HHC RN Program Do they ask for offical college transcripts? HELP!!! HELP!!!

    rainbowbrite85 replied to PinkDiva's topic in General Nursing

    Hate to say it, and I'm not 100% sure, but any nursing school is going to request official transcripts, regardless of if you want to transfer classes over or not. I had to pay $7000 to an old school...

  4. capital community college in CT

    rainbowbrite85 replied to Hopeful*in*CT's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I hate to disagree, but I am. It is extremely competitive as no, you can't just meet the minimum requirements and get accepted. Hence why there is a long, drawn out admission process. Like I said,...

  5. capital community college in CT

    rainbowbrite85 replied to Hopeful*in*CT's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    1.) What is the math placement test? It has no bearing on nursing school. 60% are accepted by rank, 40% by lotto. In a nutshell, 50% of admissions is based on GPA, 25% on TEAS, and 25% on your...

  6. Nursing school's in CT

    rainbowbrite85 replied to Hopeful*in*CT's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    hi- i believe one of the five nursing schools within the ccc does have nursing courses at night time, which is capital. calculus is not needed as a pre-req. i'm not sure what mat*136/137 is off...

  7. Texas is my home state but bon giving me a hassle...

    rainbowbrite85 replied to ferretrodeo's topic in General Nursing

    Well, did you fax them a copy? I'm sure you would be able to find something on the internet or state/government website that has at the very least a Section number that you can bring to their...

  8. IS IT TOO DIFFICULT TO TAKE A & P 1 and CHEMISTRY 101 AT THE SAME TIME???

    rainbowbrite85 replied to LILYROSE11's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Isn't Chem 101 a general pre-req to A&P? You definitely need to know Chemistry to go through that

  9. Home health/LTC in Las Vegas/Henderson area

    rainbowbrite85 replied to NurseyNurse7's topic in Nevada Nursing

    That sounds really odd that they would flat out say they aren't hiring new grads. I grew up in Las Vegas and many of my friends who have graduated with a BSN from UNLV have been hired at many of the...

  10. adn going to rn-bsn right away

    rainbowbrite85 replied to LookForward's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry, but I'm confused. How is your BSN program full time yet only one day a week? Forgive me if the obvious is staring at me in the face...I'm

  11. Any bedside nurses (kind souls) willing to answer 6 questions for me?

    rainbowbrite85 replied to rn_william's topic in General Nursing

    Best. Diagnosis.

  12. ASU or UNLV [?]

    rainbowbrite85 replied to RN_Mami's topic in General Nursing

    Hi! I grew up in Vegas and went to UNLV, albeit not for nursing. I also was born in Arizona and my dad went to ASU. If it were up to me, I would go to ASU, even though it ranked as one of the top...

  13. CURE FOR HIV

    rainbowbrite85 replied to healthstar's topic in General Nursing

    I highly doubt there is a cure for HIV. And if there was, I'm sure it would be broadcast to the public at once rather than just floated around as a rumor. Where did you hear this at? A news

  14. Would you be insulted?

    rainbowbrite85 replied to beeble's topic in General Nursing

    I would be upset that the pt said they received "terrible care" but personally I wouldn't be offended by the MD asking this. What if this were the scenario: another nurse was working with the pt,...

  15. Ready to Apply CT Community Colleges- Nursing Program 2010

    rainbowbrite85 replied to orourkco's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Not much more movement is going to happen now in regards to the Fall semester. August MIGHT see one more movement, plus the LPN - RN admits might not go through with the program, but the next round...

  16. Reapplying after Resignation

    rainbowbrite85 replied to RNAchot83's topic in General Nursing

    Ironically, this report showed up on Yahoo! today: The Savvy Networker- Yahoo! HotJobs And this also in regards to credit reports: "At a minimum, a background check will verify your social security...

  17. Reapplying after Resignation

    rainbowbrite85 replied to RNAchot83's topic in General Nursing

    What a perfect response! Hooray for being up front! Good luck with the job

  18. Reapplying after Resignation

    rainbowbrite85 replied to RNAchot83's topic in General Nursing

    EXACTLY! Why not just be honest? I was, and I just got another job. Yes, the economy is crummy, and you can say that is why it took 3 months to find a new job, but don't omit the

  19. Microbiology and Anatomy and Physiology II online?

    rainbowbrite85 replied to kammel's topic in General Students

    Unless they are hands-on with a lab, don't do them. There is no other learning then the kind you get when you have your hands deep into a cat clearing out the vascular system to really see how...

  20. Reapplying after Resignation

    rainbowbrite85 replied to RNAchot83's topic in General Nursing

    I think now it goes further than whether or not it is mandatory to list it as a reference or as previous experience, and is now more along the lines of how does the person account for those 3 months?...

  21. Reapplying after Resignation

    rainbowbrite85 replied to RNAchot83's topic in General Nursing

    Hi! I am experiencing a similar situation also, and in my opinion, I WOULD mention the job. Yes, probation periods for jobs can go on for as long as a year, if not more, but that is not a valid...

  23. CONFUSED

    rainbowbrite85 replied to lolo0909's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Personally, I haven't heard many good things about Goodwin College. As previously mentioned, it's pricey. And even though there is no wait list, that doesn't mean everyone is accepted. If I were...

    rainbowbrite85 replied to orourkco's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I'm waiting for Three Rivers! Woooo! Lol

  25. Ready to Apply CT Community Colleges- Nursing Program 2010

    rainbowbrite85 replied to orourkco's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Yes, I am waiting for A&P II grades to be posted and for Orientation to be completed this week. The orientation typically scares some kids out of the program (usually because they don't...
