You do not really get to pick which time you major nursing class is. I am in my first year, took some nur classes over summer and this is my schedule: Monday Lecture 8AM-12 NOON Wednesday LAB 9-4 PM Clinical does not start until October so i do not...

I would keep the EMT class. It can be valuable for getting a job, experience. I got mine in high school while taking 3 other courses so I know how it feels and the EMT was a 4 month course in case you are wondering. It will be ok as long as the in...

Dont be discouraged! Your scores should get better as you go through the program and become more accustomed to the design of the exam. As you develop critical thinking skills it will become easier for you. To study, one thing that I do for each cha...

EMS and nursing have a lot of differences. I am in nursing school right now, but I received my EMT-B in high school. I loved it! EMS is more life saving interventions and more fast paced and YOU make all the decisions. Nursing, you pretty much f...

One thing that I do for each chapter is make an outline of the chapter. I make sure to write down important terms and any important info I need to know so that I can easily study. I also highlight in the book to. What I would do is read the chapte...

I would say its physically possible to go back a week after birth, but you are not going to want to. You will want to spend time with your new child and bond. You could even get postpartum depression from not spending much time with your child. An...

I start this summer and for ASN we have 4 semesters. I chose to start early in the summer, we did not have to start until the fall. I am taking 3 classes this summer, one this fall and spring 2012. Then I have to take 2 classes the last two semest...

I wish urgent care centers were affiliated with hospitals so that the ER could deal with real emergencies. Any toothaches, colds, etc could go there while the ER can do its job. When there is a real emergency everyone is going to have to wait and i...

We usually have a triage nurse asses and assign an acuity before they are assigned a bed so we can determine how serious the matter is. If there is a chest pain, we have to do an EKG within 15 minutes and sometimes it is so busy and chaotic that it ...

Also, in cases where there are NO rooms available for EMS/ambulance patients, we triage them and put them in the waiting room as well if they are low acuity. If they need to be moved immediatly to the bed, we can take a pt out of the room and make a...

I work in a hospital where the first contact is a tech and they get the pt info, why they are here, and then they get vitals. They then call the triage nurse and they come out and triage them near the waiting room in a private area. This is just ba...

Yea we had the lab thing to. We used cats for ours and she put tooth picks in them and we had to identify what it was. I remember that but I think you will do fine this time. I am just waiting to hear back from other places now...I hate the waitin...

And taking once will help you I think. You will have most of it down any way. Just make sure you remember it because you use it a lot in nursing. I know for where I work I have to use it, just not to an advanced extent.

Yea thats true. When are you applying to reynolds, for spring? I think I might apply for fall for Reynolds but IDK, I am tired of applying ugh I thought I would be done with this in high school!

I had to take anatomy like three times in high school lol. the first time was the regular course just for fun, then I had some of it for my emt class, then i took it as dual enrollment for college credit. My cum. GPA was a 3.8 but my pre req GPA wa...

Yep. I am going to apply to J Sarge to. And if I dont get into those :/ bon secours and john tyler and nova as well lol. I know I have good credentials, its just a matter of space available. Nursing is so complicated to get into. It feels like m...

Yea I did not get in either I thought I would at least get wait listed. Ameliagal, are you applying next year to?

We should do an email exhange. Mine is [email protected]

Watch my letter not even be in the mail today...I live like an hour away from Richmond.

Yay good for you Alex!!!! I am nervous :/ I do not read mine until I get home at about 7:30 pm. What were your credentials if you do not mind? Me and ameliagal were talking about ours earlier.

You could always finish and get a bachelors degree in something else? Thats what one of my friends did, it usually takes less than two years for the accelerated BSN. VCU has a program for that.

i HONESTLY do not remember. They had mine from 2007! But they were average for math I think, I did above average in readiing in writing. MY ACT was higher I think 28??? I did very well in the science section. Maybe it was the anatomy, I had an A...

*** You are qualified. So I guess I should not hope for much when I open that envelope lol. All of my pre -reqs I have A's but I think I had 2 B's on my transcript from when I was doing dual enrollment high school courses and at Germanna they just ...

@ALEX, let us know what yours said! @Ameliagal: if you dont mind me asking, what were your credentials? I had a 3.8 college GPA and work as an ER tech since April and have volunteered in EMS since 2007. I was also on deans list and academic honors. ...

oH MY GOODNESS! That stinks. I hate rejection letters blah. I cant check mine until tonight But they only accept about 60 people...not very good chances. You should apply to J Sarge, their program seems very good. I went to the info session and...
