RedChair ADN, RN

Hey Everybody, I have applied to the Calhoun part time/evening ADN program and just wondered if anybody can tell me about it? Any information would be great. Are there any books/specific topics that I should brush up on for the first semester? Do th...

I have a panel interview this week for a peri-op 101 program. There will be 4 surgical dept managers holding the interviews. Two years ago, as a new grad, I interviewed and did not receive an offer. It was actually a blessing in disguise as the exper...

Buy your books from an online store. Do a Google search with the ISBN number and look for the best price. I have gotten previous edition books for $8 instead of paying >$150 for the most current one. Look at your school's bulletin board or online ...

That is awesome. She left a true legacy and found a way to live on.

Does your class have a facebook page? A few of us were discussing the possibility of starting one, but I thought I would get some outside input. I know there is the risk of someone sharing too much information. Do you think the ease of contacting eve...

Thanks Everyone for the replies! Sounds like we will be working on it soon. Happy New Year! Everyone be safe : )

I agree, Get organized! Stay organized (thats the hard part for me!) Keep track of assignments due. I keep a calendar with everything written down, including my reading assignments. Take things one sentence, concept, chapter at a time! Break it down ...

Actually meant to put this in the General Student Nurse section! Oh well...

I am currently in the nursing program and we had orientation one week and registration the next. For the first semester they have to do your registration, after that it is up to you! Congratulations and Good Luck!

Hi, I am a former Veterinary Assistant (on the job training) of 10 years. I am currently in nursing school and I can say that my exposure to medications/terminology has helped quite a bit so far. I never claimed to be a 'nurse' in the vet world alth...

I am taking two classes -Health Assesment - got an 86 and Pharmacology- got a 96! Next tests are in a couple weeks!

There should be a chart or explaination in your text book. However here is my explaination. This chart is borrowed from wikipedia by the way Active immunity requires something to initiate the response and is produced from the persons own immune syst...

I think your plan sounds very doable. Good for you for paying off your debt! I would put back as much as possible in the next year, just in case something comes up. I know that my costs during the summer before nursing school started where a bit more...

I start on the 23rd! One more week. The summer seems to have flown by, yet it seemed next week would never come. I think we all have the same butterflys going on right now! Its nice to not be the only one. Next week we are sure to have a ton of posts...

Love this one. When patients ask me about it I will try to say it for them....but usually end up with "The scope that goes down your throat" . Oh and by the way its: Esophagoduodenoscopy (I had to check.) Relysh

I went with Amazon. Most purchases qualify for free shipping and get to you faster then they estimate. I saved a ton of money, they came to me and all my books are brand spanking new (meaning they have codes and extras included) Good luck to you! Re...

taylorxteddy- are you going to the registration page? it should have an option to choose state and city. at some point you can also choose your school if they offer the test. there is a help button on the site as well, maybe you need to ask the exper...

Not a problem. Good Luck!

Hi, I believe the website is atitesting.com, my school had a link to it on the nursing page of their site. Hope that helps Relysh

I bought a pair of all white New Balance shoes to start with. They have always worked well in the past for being on my feet 12 + hours. We are not allowed shox, sketchers or crocs in my program and I can't quite afford the actual 'nursing' shoes righ...

I have the same quesion on my physical form. I am also not entirely comfortable with this as a requirement, but I can see some of the reasoning behind it. and really its not like they are going to have all the instructors sitting in a circle reading ...

I Love, love, love study/office supplies! Always thought I was wierd. I like to use Pilot G2 0.7 for my notes. I try not to go to stores like Staples too often, it is hard to get me back out! I can look for hours...well, at least 30 minutes. lol. T...

There was a lot of hard work that went into these. Thank you for sharing! I start pharm in August and I will add these into my study aides. Good job, Relysh
