  1. Acceptance to NVCC Fall 2011 Program!!!

    excitedtobehere replied to NursingGCW's topic in Virginia Nursing

    July or August??? That's ridiculous! Classes start August 22nd. I wonder how they expect anyone to plan their child care or job situation with that little notice??

  2. Acceptance to NVCC Fall 2011 Program!!!

    excitedtobehere replied to NursingGCW's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Just out of curiosity, does anyone know when we'll be able to sign up for classes? Registration for everyone else started 2 days ago, but all the nursing classes require permission. Will there be...

  3. Acceptance to NVCC Fall 2011 Program!!!

    excitedtobehere replied to NursingGCW's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Haha. You're sweet. I think it's so nerve-racking because I've literally planned my life out for the next 2 years (and beyond) all based on this one little decision. I'd hate to think all this work...

  4. Acceptance to NVCC Fall 2011 Program!!!

    excitedtobehere replied to NursingGCW's topic in Virginia Nursing

    You guys are a riot! I haven't heard anything yet either, but I've been checking this site religiously to see if anyone HAS heard anything. I'm supposed to be studying for my pharmacology exam and I...

  5. Here are the top 5 drugs administered by allnurses.com members

    excitedtobehere replied to northmississippi's topic in General Nursing

    Very cool! I'm taking my pharm class now, so I'll be sure to pay extra attention to these.

  6. Red flag on new unit?

    excitedtobehere replied to arnie1234's topic in General Nursing

    Good for you for researching before blindly jumping into something... For what it's worth, I've heard this is VERY common on ICU floors. Often, people are just trying to get their year (or two)...

  7. NVCC to Mason

    excitedtobehere replied to mameez's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Hi there! I just went to NVCC's website, and as long as you intend to get your RN and complete your ADN with NVCC, taking NAS 161/162 is fine. If your goal is to transfer and NOT complete your RN...

  8. Tell me about using your iPad for school

    excitedtobehere replied to studentsara's topic in General Students

    Personally, I'm not ready to jump on the iPad bandwagon yet... I do love Apple, don't get me wrong... My husband has a really nice Mac and I think I'm on my fourth iPhone... But to me, iPad is just...

  9. A patient's experience with RUDE nursing staff.. Should this be reported?

    excitedtobehere replied to digoe74's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm sorry that this happened to your friend... The beauty of the situation is that this is, ultimately, a business. The best way to handle the situation is to notify management of the experience,...

  10. Took pre-requisites 17 years ago - should I retake?

    excitedtobehere replied to tealvr's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's a tough one... 17 years is a long time! Most schools require your science courses to be within the past 5 years, which makes sense because so much changes in that amount of time... I would...

  11. Fearful, excited, and nervous about starting nursing school need some advice.

    excitedtobehere replied to RNinthemaking1986's topic in General Students

    Fearful, excited, and nervous... Yep! That about sums it up! I'm starting the nursing program this fall too... I am SO excited! I joined Allnurses just to try and get a glimpse of what it's like...

  12. Last 60 or Cumulative? 3.6/3.2 Which one will they take???

    excitedtobehere replied to bloree07's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I would say "none" if you don't have at least a year of acute care experience, and some require two. But seriously, the best way to answer your question is to go to the university website and look...

  13. Mixed Emotions About Nsg School

    excitedtobehere replied to emptyboxcars's topic in General Students

    Wow! I could have written your post, except I have 3 kids (7, 4, and 2) and I won't start nursing school until the fall (so they'll be 8, 5 and 3). I have the exact same concerns about not being...

  14. How Competitive is Northern Virginia Comm College?

    excitedtobehere replied to koblyn12's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I'm so thrilled to finally talk to someone with something POSITIVE to say about nursing! I know a lot of people come to this site to vent, but it really is unsettling to read all this rants about how...

  15. How Competitive is Northern Virginia Comm College?

    excitedtobehere replied to koblyn12's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Good to hear! I am SO excited to start! I'm taking the TEAS in 2 days and then I'm ready to submit my checklist! Yay! I've heard such good things from people. One of my family members (an RN) is...

  16. ASN at community college, then BSN?

    excitedtobehere replied to JuLu1211's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Interesting rationale... I'm actually going to a CC for my ADN because they have an AMAZING pass rate for the NCLEX and are known for making great nurses. I can then do a bridge program almost...

  17. The chance they'll touch you is inversely proportionate to their hygiene level...

    excitedtobehere replied to ByTheLake's topic in Emergency

    LOL! The things I learn on this board! Thanks for the

  18. Anyone waiting for acceptance in NVCC nursing fall 2010?

    excitedtobehere replied to acibrix's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Wow! I'm so glad I checked this thread! Most of the study guides are putting the conversions in the SCIENCE section, not math, so I thought we didn't have to worry about it! That could have ended...

  19. How Competitive is Northern Virginia Comm College?

    excitedtobehere replied to koblyn12's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Hey there! I've taken all my prerequisites at NVCC and am applying for the traditional nursing track that starts this fall. When I spoke with an academic advisor, they told me the nursing program is...

  20. New Nurse.....not feeling welcome on my unit. What do I do?

    excitedtobehere replied to Blondie24's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm so sorry you have to deal with people like this. Try to take some comfort in knowing that almost every new grad goes through something similar, so it's not just you. I am not an RN yet (I start...
