  1. how can these schools get away with SCAMMING people?

    Rangerjoe replied to pixiestudent2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's not just Everest. There are plenty of for-profit colleges out there that are just waiting for people to sign up for classes. Just turn on the TV and you will see ad after ad for college degrees...

  2. Calling EMS to pronounce

    Rangerjoe replied to fallinnstyle's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    In my city the nursing homes don't usually call us for DNR's. If they are working the code or the pt's not a DNR then they call us unless it's an obvious death. We usually fill out a death report...

  3. Intraosseous Infusions- anyone using it yet?

    Rangerjoe replied to GinaCat's topic in General Nursing

    My EMS system has been doing IO's for a long while, but we just got the drill about two years ago. We will usually put them in after the first failed attempt on an IV during a cardiac arrest. I...

  8. Why Nurses Book Off Work

    Rangerjoe replied to Truth66's topic in General Nursing

    Book off work just means that you call out of work, use a sick day. The original Canadian poster really wants his credentials acknowleged beside his name. I don't understand how not adding RN...

    Rangerjoe replied to turtlesrus's topic in Virginia Nursing

  10. Lost high school transcripts

    Rangerjoe posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I graduated from a private high school in 1993 which is no longer around. I have a copy of my old high school transcript, but the nursing program will only take a "certified" copy. I have been...

  11. Lost high school transcripts

    Rangerjoe replied to Rangerjoe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Called the Alabama Department of Education. They very kindly informed me that they were sorry but would be unable to help me. Sigh, if I had known I was going to have to take the GED I could have...

    Rangerjoe replied to Rangerjoe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank you for the advice. Talking to someone for the board of education will be hard since I live in Virginia and graduated HS in Alabama. Sending them an email and going in person to talk to the...

  13. TCC A & P question

    Rangerjoe replied to turtlesrus's topic in Virginia Nursing

  14. TCC A & P question

    Rangerjoe replied to turtlesrus's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Sorry, haven't heard anything (or attended any classes) about the Norfolk campus classes or professors. Maybe someone else who has attended that campus can answer? you can always type their names...

  15. TCC A & P question

    Rangerjoe replied to turtlesrus's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I'm not 100% on this, but from my understanding your lecture and lab have be at the same campus. You don't need the same instructors, but same campus. When you sign up for the class online it...

  16. TCC A & P question

    Rangerjoe replied to turtlesrus's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I've heard good things about the first person you mentioned. If i'm not mistaken she is the one who actually makes the mid-term and the final lab exams. I've also heard that's she's tough but fair....

    Rangerjoe replied to turtlesrus's topic in Virginia Nursing

  19. TCC A & P question

    Rangerjoe replied to turtlesrus's topic in Virginia Nursing

    When you sign up (online) for the online lecture it will give you available options for lab. You don't have to take the same professor. I'm usually only able to go to school one day a week since I...

  20. TCC A & P question

    Rangerjoe replied to turtlesrus's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Two words for A&P, Dr. ******** (Chesapeake Campus). I took him online for both 141 and 142 and did very well. He's a great teacher who love's his work. His lecture tests are off of his online...

    Rangerjoe replied to inthelab's topic in Cardiac
