Hi everyone, I just recently got into nursing school and am finishing some prerequisite courses before I enter. One of these courses is an ethics course. I was prompted in this course with cases of euthanasia and suicide. I was wondering if anyone...

The link does not work anymore. Can you tell me which americorp program you worked in? I would very much like to do the same.

Don't let anyone tell you that it is not possible. I was on academic probation once and became a straight A student with multiple clinical experiences under my belt. I retook a lot of classes and really hammered my prerequisites. If anything I thi...

Of course I have; I didn't get into nursing school without some initiative nor the ability to use my resources. My ethics course hardly cares about jurisprudence. This is for my personal knowledge as I do not ever want to be a part of a suicide. I...

The best advice I can give you is to read the book "The Medical School Interview: Secrets and a System for Success" by Jeremiah Fleenor and make flash cards. This will make sense after you read the book. I prepped for three weeks for that interview...

I got into Regis University's Accelerated Nursing Program. They looked at many other things. I really had to substantiate the claim that I am different person than I was. I became a straight A student (which was strongly reflected in my prerequisi...

Hey guys. I am applying to Regis and metro for the accelerated BSN program but my previous gpa was not very good. I have a cummulative gpa of 3.1 but the last three semesters I took were straight A's. This includes taking A&P together with one...

Congratulations! You are in for, what I felt to be, the most character defining change I have experienced to date. A's are A's but you also need get the A's in your sciences to prove (because they will not take your word for it) that you are a chan...

I think the school will send a supplies list including a recommendation of which stethoscope they prefer you have. At least that has been the rumor. You may just give them a call and ask.

Thanks for the advice everyone. I interviewed a few weeks ago and lest week I found out that I will be a part of Regis' class of 2012 for their Accelerated BSN program. Whoa boy do I have a load of work ahead of me.

Yep. I think because of this though they tend to crank out very altruistic nurses (The applicant pool I interviewed with was evidence enough for me). They know they will end up in a large amount of debt and therefore largely filter out people that ...

Congrats to you as well. I am sure excited and nervous as well. I want to get my A game back before the program starts. There are definitely a few people I met that I hope are in my class as well.

I GOT IN!!! I just checked web advisor and I got in. OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited. I have so much to learn. I was rejected my metro so I went out and did some more volunteering, patient contact, and even took a phlebotomy class. I think she ...

I was just curious. With all the expensive cardiology stethoscopes out there, are they harder to use because of the increased number of sounds you can hear? In others words, is it hard to tell the multiple sounds apart with the improved acoustics? ...

I just saw a youtube video that said that nurses with their own private insurance tend to make better targets for lawsuits. My question and possibly something you should consider as well is this: Is it legally required that you disclose to the facil...

Congrats! I am in the same boat. With any luck we will be classmates. As for tips I would say to keep the big three in mind. 1. Be able to articulate your experience in medicine both the social side and the technical. 2. Be able to support your a...

I just got the email today that I received an interview at Regis. I am so excited but and also nervous. I will do anything to get out of being an alternate.

It sounds like you have a genuine emotional attachment to nursing and do not question that. That being said you may consider putting more anecdotes of specific examples whether they be lists or actual stories. Don't tell me, show me if that makes s...

When I decided on nursing I made the choice purely because I wanted to do what I saw the nurses doing, being someone of purpose in a fascinating, hard working, and sometimes gut wrenching career. I found out afterwards that it was a very stable job....

I tried the ADC versions and they were too small but the littmanns were just right. the UPC for them (if it helps) is 786511783570. The model number for the same (for the ones that fit mine) is DET-122-L-BLK. At least I was told they were littmann...

I have the McKesson sprague rappaport but is says ADC on the bottom of it (maybe they use ADC parts). I could hear pretty well out of it but I would have trouble with the respirations (which may be because my ear is not as trained as others). I wen...

Thank you guys. So I will stick to my cheapo sprague rapport for a while. Just out of curiosity though, what do you think about the two stethoscopes I placed the links for (only one worked but the address is still there)? BTW I tried a $100 littm...

I have heard ADC is a good alternative to Littman recently, if price is relatively equal of course.

Are accelerated BSN programs really that sleep depriving? I was a straight A student and had my fair share of sleep (3 and 4 hrs) deprivation and regularly functioned on 6 hrs of sleep but I am boggled at how it is realistically possible to memorize...
