IPAD!

I know IRMC does that. You apply thru STARS. Not sure about the other local hospitals. I have gotten scholarships thru stars, and almost everyone I know in the program has too :) I fill out a million each time...and then you wait forever, but its worth it! There is something else called workforce solution and they give you like 10k (not sure exact amount but it was a lot) to complete the program but you have to qualify, and like me, it sounds like you do not.

If you can do basic math, which I am going to assume you can since you got in you will be more than fine. Until advanced, there are just 2 *formulas* and by then you will be super comfortable going into critical care drips. I bought the Math for Meds, and manual of IV therapeutics and have never cracked either one open.

Kinda 2 years. lol I started Jan last year, will finish in Oct if all goes well. We take summer 2 off. I love the test book! Still use it although not as much as at first :) I have to say this one, Advanced, has been my favorite. We did a rotation in the ER, which was the only place I could actually ever see myself being a nurse. That was the icing on the whole semester. I also really liked maternity, but only bc L&D was exciting. Postpartum was blah. Here's a colace, next, here's a colace, next.....lol Ask anything you like :)

Congrats guys!!! You have quite a ride ahead. I am currently in advanced, with one more class to go! Finally getting somewhere I have to say I have been really impressed with IRSC...instructors are amazing, warm, helpful even the ones you may be warned NOT to take lol I have to agree with the enjoy your summer advice especially if you are high strung, high stress (like me!)

An A! I just got my first B ever now in medsurg

May as well try. I find a small group, just me and one other person to be helpful....but more than that I don't learn a thing.

A monkey could give shots, Nurses are so much more :)

Run, kayak, we frequently visit my parents and friends out of town :)

Wait. Absolutely wait.

I was going to suggest that exact same book as not.done.yet. It is worth every penny, and I think it's only $16!

I would say more ppl in my program have kids than don't. A lot of them A students still. Me included. It can be done.

Our physicals and shots shots shots were due after the mandatory meeting, we got the forms and information there. So excited for you guys!!!! lol

Here is my advice...learn to IGNORE. Let's say she drops out this time again and she's gone and life is great! There is another one of *those* around the corner. You will work with one, have one for an in-law, a patient, or maybe all the above lol.....learning to shut it out now may benefit you in the long run

Awesome! What a great area of pt teaching, maybe you have found your calling :) Be the *take your dang ab's as prescribed* police. Educate your patients, family and friends about proper ab usage....someone needs to.
