I know this is an old post.. but I have a patient who has diverticulitis. They had the sigmoid/colon resection, colostomy,and I&D of abdominal abscess. I am trying to come up with nursing diagnoses but have too many ideas running through my head....

I believe that so far in nursing school the best thing for me is to have somebody to vent to that won't judge you for what you say or try to give you advice. You never realize how nice it is to have somebody that listens until you are in nursing scho...

yes I believe that's the same one I got. Mine is the Littmann classic II S.E. the cheaper one of that was the lightweight version of the Littmann.

oh wow that's kind of expensive. Ours were $25 a set if I remember correctly. We had to have 2 sets for school & 2 sets for clinicals plus a lab coat. It cost me $420 for the uniforms, lab supplies, & stethoscope. I did however purchase the m...

Oh ok! Does Alvin require uniforms like San Jac? I would def compare what the cost are!

It was good! It went by SUPER fast for me! The last 4 weeks were the most difficult, but I got through it & made good grades. I've heard Alvin has a really good program, but I'm not sure how they compare to San Jac! That's awesome that you were a...

Good Luck!!!!

Hi. I was wondering if anybody has a list of all the IV sites? I've been searching online & can't seem to find one. I have the very beginning of the list but am unable to get the rest of it & having it would really help me out! Thank you!

I am also a student but by no means do I possess this attittude. If you are unsure why keep pursuing it? I think it's funny that you don't think this kind of stuff exist in other occupations. You say you've seen crime on the street first hand...&...

Thank you all! This is one less thing to worry about!

I did not have to submit a decalatory statement.. I know of one person in the program with me that did though.

Oh ok! Thank you for clarifying that! I understand what you mean! I just wanted to make sure that I was fully prepared!

Not concerned with finding veins but I figured it'd help as far as documenting. If it's not something to worry about then I won't

Oh ok. I can try that. It is my personal homework assignment. I want to know them all before I do an IV in clinicals. Whenever we checked off on the skill and learned it last 8 weeks the teachers did not talk alot about specific sites. The documentin...

I know we have orientation tomorrow and Wednesday. Everybody has to meet at 8 on those two days..

No problem I was only able to register for Health Assessment and Foundations. Whenever I try to sign up for the other 2 classes I get a message that says "prerequisite and test score error." I've talked to other students that have the same problem. ...

matching fee slip is found on SOS. After you pay click on "my student records, Registration, financial aid and orientation" then click on "my registration" then click on "print options-schedule/fee bill" this shows your classes and that you do not ow...

Alot of different schools offer the program, but each school has different requirements. They pretty much all require the same classes, but as far as placement test go you will have to do your research. I have my AA in Biology and now I am going to d...

Thank you! I am very excited!! My GPA overall is 3.68 and my overall on my HESI was an 89. I hope ya'll get your acceptance emails soon because there is alot to do!! Feel free to ask me anymore questions.

I got my acceptance email this afternoon. :) Did anybody else??

no.. still haven't heard anything.. I was really hoping it'd be today, but I guess it will be next week..can't be too much longer because classes start next month.

I am waiting to hear something as well... I called and was told that the acceptance e-mails would be sent out the week of Dec 4... Dec 4 is on Saturday.. So I'm hoping that that means we will know by Friday!! :) Good Luck everybody!!!

i was really hoping that somebody replied to your post bc i need to take the biology section and am not sure how in depth to study. i also have that study guide and its very vague. any advice??

wow so I'm really just wondering what day all the UT links will be updated by? I figure tomorrow or the next day at the latest..

"Pending status will be updated upon admissions committee decision." is what im staring at..... congrats to those of you whose UT link has changed!! I wonder if tomorrow will hold good news for more of us
