  3. Excelsior College

    To answer your question, you may download all the study guides for free before enrolling but you can only take NC 1 and 2 without being enrolled. For the remaining tests and to transfer credits, you...
  4. www.quickexams.com

    Anyone ever check out this site? It offers online study courses for Nursing Concepts and NCLEX-RN exams. It seems like it could be useful, but at $39.99 a piece it could get very pricey. There isn't...

  8. Medicaid. Is it being abused?

    It is such a sad story but unfortunately it is not uncommon. At least around here. While you may feel obligated to get someone to intervene, and rightly so, the truth is that this young lady's life...
  9. This is a fairly old thread and I apologize if this has been added, as I haven't read through each one. My daughter is four and I have always referred to her lady parts/chest/buttocks as her...

    Every situation is different. I was diagnosed with a subchorionic hematoma at fourteen weeks, but luckily experienced no bleeding. However, when I did some research on subchorionic hematomas I found...

  13. Excited but a little disappointed

  18. Measuring big for pregnancy, eyebrows raised

    I don't know if she told the NM or someone else. I just got the sticky note, and I knew it was her because she was the only person I discussed it with. I'm not angry so much, but this is a stressful...
  19. Tattoos and nursing

    That seems like a very closeminded thing to say, but of course you are entitled to your opinion.:) I am neither gullible nor duped. I am aware that this tattoo will be with me for life. That is why...

  23. Anyone have a huge student loan bill?

    I think a Perkins loan is federal, but you do have to ask about it. The government subsidizes the loan and the school is the lender. Many schools won't publicize the loan or put it on your award...
