  1. Scared.....No Nursing?

    It made a doc really mad when I did that. The doc has to put a puzzle together with the pieces you provide. They don't remember the specifics on all their patients. Since you are his eyes and ears, do an assessment before you call regardless. cya
  2. LPN in charge at Assisted is awful to work for

    First, moving on to another facility may be best. Second, she may be intimidated by your degree. If being "in charge" is all she's got going in her life, she may feel protective of her position and resents correction. Choose your battles carefully. T...
  3. Forced out to pasture

    I'm so sorry! it because you were being paid more?
  4. Med error

    Forgive yourself, learn from your mistake and move on.
  5. Spring, 2011. She was young and wore a cap. I liked it. It definitely set her apart. I have a cap but don't have the courage to wear it.
  6. ITT Tech?

    Nursing classes are only 3 1/2 hours per week. There is no way to cover the material in that amount of time so students are left to learn from the book and given very little help. You must pass each class with an 80% or you retake the class. Some ...
  7. ITT Tech's New Program???

    As with any school, do your homework and call your Board of Nursing. ITT is based in Indiana so you might want to call the Indiana Board of Nursing. Before you commit to any school or any field of study, do your homework. Don't depend on faceless ...
  8. ITT Tech?

    Hey... Thanks for the good wishes! I'm anxiously waiting for Pearson Vue to tell me I can take the test! ITT was a very good experience for me, especially since my previous experience was so awful. I found the faculty and staff to be very supportiv...
  9. ITT Tech?

    Congratulations on passing your Hesi! I know you're excited to start! I did my microbiology and A&P and chemistries (not required) and all the other prereqs at the community college. One of my friends had never stepped foot in a college and he ...
  10. ITT Tech?

    Hi, All, I just graduated from ITT in Oklahoma City. It was a fast 2 years. I can't speak for other schools, but the one here has a tutor who (free of charge) will help your prepare for the Hesi. They have a small book for it, but most people I hav...
  11. ITT Tech?

    Hey, This is for Katy-Nursing Student (since I can't figure out how to respond to your message ) ITT is now taking new students. Last I heard (a week ago), people can still be accepted for the September class, but you'd probably be better off to w...
  12. ITT Tech?

    I just want to encourage you to pursue your dreams. I was in another accredited nursing program and literally almost committed suicide. The instructors were so suspicious and hateful. ITT was a gift from God! I just finished last week and feel li...
  13. ITT Tech's New Program???

    Hi. Tomorrow is our final final...FINALLY at ITT Tech in Oklahoma City. My group is the 2nd class to graduate. The first graduated in June. One girl from the first class passed her NCLEX about a month ago. I won't deny we've had our share of prob...
  14. So you made HER clean it up?
  15. Being peed on by a dead man. Never would have imagined. The CNA letting a man play in his poo is crazy! If she had been proactive in cleaning him up, it would have been much easier to clean him up. What was she thinking????
  16. ITT Tech?

    Thank you, Tiffany! Hey when it's time to think about Kaplan (or not), there's a Kaplan teacher in Tulsa named -----. She's one of the funniest people ever. I've thought about traveling to Tulsa just to take Kaplan from her! This quarter you're in is...
  17. ITT Tech?

    Hi. I'm going to finish ITT's program in less than 3 weeks. Our first class graduated in June and one of the girls passed her NCLEX the first time last week. The Oklahoma City campus has had a lot of confusion, but they're finally "on board." Yes...
  18. Priority Nursing Diagnosis HELP!

    How about impaired gas exchange r/t changes in alveolar membrane, pulmonary vascular resistance, possibly aeb dyspnea, decreased mental acuity, somnolence, abnormal ABGs (you could address delayed cap refill, thickened toenails, 1+ pitting edema). ...
  19. gag! That makes me vomit in my mouth just a little...
  20. ITT Tech's New Program???

    I'm in the ITT program in Oklahoma City. I was in another nursing program in this city and making good grades, but the hatefulness and punitive attitude of the faculty put so much pressure on us, some of us couldn't take the stress. They treated us ...
  21. Virtual Clinical Excursions

    We have to do them, too. None of us like them, either. HUGE waste of time!
  22. Cheapest Online store to buy Littman Stethoscopes?

    Thanks to this website, I was able to get a coupon code and saved $7.35 off my Littmann. I ordered my engraved stethoscope late Monday night from Medisave and received it this afternoon (Friday). The engraving was free and the stethoscope came with...
