For those of you at Charity now, what are your schedules like? I thought clinicals were only on 1 day a week, but Ive been told thats changed. I should start classes next fall, unless I get early...
That seems to work wonderfully for me as I live within 5 min from the Covington hospital. I didnt know there were 2 days of clinicals.. I thought on Tue you went to Charity to do a clinical practice...
There is a series of games called Emergency Room, where you choose which pt to see, run tests and interpret them, diagnose the pt, and such. I have yet to play them by a friend has one and says that...
Ever since I was little, I was in love with the name Alissa Davenport (My name is Lisa and I think Alissa is so much nicer) but anyways, I like that name and Im a student nurse!
Can anyone tell me exactly how many times you have to go to St. Louis to do your clinical exams, and is it possible to go somewhere other than St. Louis to do them? Like, do they have site locations...
They finally called me back and said that it would be 5 times now that they have adjusted the program, and although they are thinking about making alternate test sites, you still have to go to St....
Its sooooo good to hear from someone who has graduated! How is the program done? Like what days are classes and clinicals? I live on the northshore and want to do mine at Lakeview. Supposivly I will...
I got my scores in last Sat and I also passed! Thank goodness thats over! Do you know when Charity mails out acceptance letters? I wonder how long the wait is.. I heard Fall
Hi, I was just wondering if anyone here had taken it, and any study advice. I have to take it June 19, and I got a book titled "How to Prepare for the Nursing Entrance Exam" but Im not sure if the PAX...
Hi, Im looking into going into OR nursing (just started school and looking into different specialties) and I was wondering if you are constantly starting IVs, or if not, who does that? I have an IV...
I took the PAX on Sat too. It was REALLY hard for me too. I was hardly awake since I had to drive from the Northshore. I didnt finish the math part, so I went back and randomly chose letters. I also...
Hi everyone! Im Alissa and Im a hopeful RN applicant in Louisiana. I take my entrance exam June 19th and then hopefully I will get an acceptance letter! I work full time, have no children, except my...
Im so glad to hear that you think there is a hospital in Covington I can do my clinicals at. That would help soooo much (I live in Mandeville). I believe its Lakeview, but I may be wrong. A girl there...
Nurse Alissa replied to Nurse Alissa's topic in Operating Room
Well thats comforting to hear! :chuckle In your opinion, did you enjoy OR nursing? I have read so many people who work there and are sooo happy with their jobs. I think I would like OR nursing from...
Oh, wow. Now that ya'll have said that, Im super worried about trying to work/commute/study!!! What different hospitals do you have the option of doing clinicals at? I hope there is one closer to me...
Hi, I will also be attending Charity, but not till fall 05. Can you tell me a little about the clinical rotations? From what I saw online, I assumed you went to class 2 days and clinical one day. Is...
Thanks that helped alot. When you have to do the 80 hrs of clinical at the hospital, is that at OLOL Hospital? Or can you do it elsewhere? Im getting the impression that Charity is giving the option...
Now that you say that, Im pretty sure about Charity now. Charity offers a ADN, as well as when you sign up for classes, it tells you what clincal day\hrs you get. From what I see, at Charity, you go...
What do you mean when you say "you have to be flexible, although clinical days may only be 4-5 days per rotation."?? I am still new to all this, so Im not sure. Does that mean that I would have to go...
I am also interested in OLOL college... did you enjoy your experience there? Have you heard if it is a better college than Charity? I am applying to both, but I think I would rather go to OLOL....
