The BADNAP class of '11 is currently in NP III going into week two. ******* is who you want to see. You have to call to schedule an appt. There is not a lot of response on this list because we are incredibly busy! take care, r1kk1

Everyone ready for NPII? take care, rikki

I started mine last Saturday. Ton of reading. We are at a disadvantage when both Angel and ATI are not populated with the stuff we need for the first weeks assignment. Orientation for me was the description of hell. A short description would have been fine with me, I would have liked to have started the lecture. Anxiety levels seem to run high in there. I've got some skills videos by the books author and been watching those for lab. I need to get to the library and watch some more videos. I need to lookup the campus schedule. I'm waiting on the publisher to email me errata sheets. It's a hurry up and wait scenario. Feels like the Army once again. take care, r1kk1

I'll work at combining the errata sheets from the publishers this week and maybe extend into next week. I'll post the links to the files when done. We are here for each other. BeeDubs, I got the same response from my friend Charlie. He said there were a few that he didn't even open. He said it was a waste. see ya'll friday r1kk1

no, traditional program. I'm currently looking for errata sheets from the publisher's to append to the books. Useful, have to weed out grammatical corrections, I just want to see what facts changed and will be incorporated into the next edition. I need to send emails to a couple of publisher's as their errata sheets are hard to find! take care, r1kk1

email me Val and I'll give you my phone number. You ask a lot of questions and it's easier to respond verbally since I'm nursing a broken finger. take care, r1kk1 [email protected]

No. Actually a little south of Bridgecreek. About 19 miles west of Noman on Highway 9 and 76. You ought to see the 5 3 ring binders of .ppt's my buddy loaned me. Holy crap! I'm on call for the weekends and will work Saturday for sure. I've held study groups at the farm in the past. I am totally wireless with DSL. I generally cook for the group. I have had study groups that resemble the movie The Paper Chase. Great, intense movie. I'm not nervous about Friday. I have a lot on my plate this year but I time manage extremely well. Hollar if anyone wants to exchange cell numbers and information. This will NOT be a lone wolf approach to success. It takes a group of like minded individuals to succeed. The best part of groups is the background, thoughts, experiences, and past successes to the table. The diversity is what makes it really cool. [email protected] I also use skype, cell, and email. take care, r1kk1

Thanks BeeDubs, hopefully it is a very large room for all of us. I'll be the one with the "Herman munster" lunch bag. I eat a lot or should say I snack all day. Healthy snacking. I need to pick up patches. T is home Memorial day weekend and can show me how to sew them on. How many guys are going to be in class? Sound off! take care, r1kk1

Thank you. I just want to get my pin and license. I have a HUGE support group comprising of Docs, nurses, RT, etc. My wife is a cardiac travel nurse currently out of town. I just picked up a ton of books from my buddy at work who graduated the program last Jan. He had 5 huge 3 ring binders full of powerpoints. Plus a few extra books he bought on the side for care plans, etc. Filled the trunk of my car. Should have brought the pickup (lol). Very nice guy. Our new circulating nurse. They release apps for BADNAP for the next year around June or so. Good luck on your application. Get your stuff together early. Set up an appt. with Claire Echols and hand it in when Micro is done. It's an awesome feeling to beat the rush. I'm big about study groups. Hopefully I'll find three or four people where we can kick the opjectives out. It has worked very well in the past. take care, r1kk1

********. Some of her test questions were copy and paste from practice quizzes on the publisher's site. I had her for two days a week, unfortunately, we had lab twice a week before lecture. Lecture is boring. Lab is a pain. A lot of people showed up for lab but ditched class. She handed out powerpoints for every lecture as well as emailed them. If you follow the objectives, you will ace the class. take care and congrats, r1kk1

Coolbeans. I didn't know if you did or not Val. Well, going over to a friends to pick up some textbooks. Can't wait until we are done. take care, r1kk1

Val do you work at NRH? I work weekends in OR between there and the Healthplex take care, r1kk1 see everyone Friday!

My clinical preferences were McBride, Midwest, Decon, BMC and finally SWMC. I and my wife worked Baptist on the Cardiac transplant unit before and I've picked up shifts at SWMC and didn't care for it. I hear it's remodeled now. McBride is a natural for me if its surgery but my luck it will be med/surg floor duties. April 6th I will have all my paperwork in. I stopped my the bookstore and talked to the lady there. She showed me some Cherokee series 4100 scrubs that closely resembled the handbook. She did not know what price they will be listed at nor if they were even going to carry them. I can get scrubs at a discount at work but been looking on the web for the best prices. Monday morning I took my acceptance letter and clinical prefs in. I'm in Houston right now working on the RV for T. Her assignment will be done mid April so hopefully she will work in Ft. Worth and help me with the home duties. My favorite bookstore next to the pizza place down by 7-11 is gone. Time to comb the bookstore at campus and scan ISBNs and look on the web. (There's an app for that! lol) I need to go on vacation in April. Time to clear my mind, body, and spirit to become available for BADNAP. We are going to New Mexico where T is from. We own a piece of land there. May 13th is her birthday. I will be in school. : ( Oh Well! Take care all and looking forward to meeting people here. I will post prices and other information as I find it. r1kk1
