  1. BCTC vs. UK CNA Class

    amandakash posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hey all - I'm currently signed up to take BCTC's CNA class in the fall but I know that UK offers one as well. It's more expensive but it includes BLS which BCTC does not. I'm already planning on...

  2. Moving to Lexington..Nursing schools?

    amandakash replied to GamerGirL337's topic in General Nursing

    The second degree program at UK is NOT accellerated. It takes 2.5 years to complete. If you want an accelerated program look at EKU, U of L, NKU, or

  3. What do you think? Bellarmine, chances at EKU

    amandakash replied to hopeful15's topic in General Nursing

    If you're going to do the UK program - have you thought about their second degree option? It's not accelerated so you would still have more time to spend with your girls. I'm in the ABSN at EKU...

    Congrats CestLaVie! Where are you right now for

  5. How much?

    amandakash posted a topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Hi - I'm planning on working as a PCT part time while I am in nursing school and was wondering what the average hourly wage is? I know that it won't be astronomical, but I'm trying to get a good idea...

  6. eku nursing

    amandakash replied to sophie<3's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, you have to take BIO 137 and 139 though. There is a lecture and a lab component for both of them. Shirley Whitescarver is the best. Hands down. I love her. There are separate classes you can...

  7. eku nursing

    amandakash replied to sophie<3's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know how much they weigh them against each other if that is what you're asking. If you are apply for the 2nd degree you have to have all of the pre-reqs done before you start the program and...

  8. ADN vs. BSN

    amandakash posted a topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I'm going back for an accelerated second bachelor's in nursing. I've been hearing a lot about how there is no difference in pay for ADN vs. BSN since they are both licensed RNs. I don't much care...

  9. HawthoRNe

    amandakash replied to nalaa83's topic in Nursing Humor

    I've been watching Hawthorne from the beginning and it's good. I preferred Mercy only because the acting was 1000x better. I'm not a nurse yet, but I feel like the roles in Hawthorne may be more...

  10. BCTC vs. UK CNA Class

    amandakash replied to amandakash's topic in General Nursing

    That's great since I haven't been able to find an AHA offering within an hour of me in the time that I need it completed. Grrrrrrr... But that's another issue for another day. Red Cross is good...

  11. Moving to Lexington..Nursing schools?

    amandakash replied to GamerGirL337's topic in General Nursing

    Just FYI - UK's BSN program is NOT accelerated. I was deciding between UK and EKU and that was really the dividing line for me. EKU is much cheaper, and even though I will be driving from Lexington,...

  12. BLS vs. CPR/AED??

    amandakash replied to eyoliver's topic in General Nursing

    I'm enrolled in a Red Cross CPR for healthcare professionals class for my nursing program. The cert. is good for two years and it costs $80. The AHA BLS for healthcare professionals isn't as readily...

  13. BCTC vs. UK CNA Class

    amandakash replied to amandakash's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for your input so far. I think I'm going to stick with BCTC. I was just wondering if there is a fundamental difference between the BLS offered at UK and the CPR for healthcare providers that...

  14. How To Survive (and Thrive) In Nursing School

    amandakash replied to 86toronado's topic in General Students

    This is so great!! I was admitted to an accelerated BSN program to start this August and I could not be more excited/terrified. I'm always looking for tip sheets so this is fantastic. Thank you so...

  15. Calling all EKU BSN or ABSN students

    amandakash replied to kyexplorer's topic in General Nursing

    WOW! Thank you so much for your response! It was all I could have asked for and more. I'm just so nervous about starting that I'm trying to be all OCD and being as prepared as possible. I hope...

  16. ADN vs. BSN

    amandakash replied to amandakash's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    !! I didn't mean to bring up such a sore subject! I am already enrolled in a BSN program so that's not an issue, I just didn't know if it made a difference to employers, just out of curiosities...

  17. Calling all EKU BSN or ABSN students

    amandakash replied to kyexplorer's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a future current student, meaning I'll start in the fall. So far, after meeting a lot of the faculty I'm very pleased with my decision to go with their ABSN. For some reason this program has...

  18. BCTC Nursing Fall 2011

    amandakash replied to kdonovan's topic in General Nursing

    I took my pre-reqs at BCTC main campus and had a generally great experience. Dr. Shirley Whitescarver is the best. Ever. I met the little woman who is in charge of the nursing program at...

  19. Do you like the uniforms they give you for your school?

    amandakash replied to prime11214's topic in General Students

    We have a grey polo with maroon scrub bottoms, white shoes and white socks. If we get a jacket I think it has to be maroon,

  20. Help understanding statistics

    amandakash replied to litchi's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    p is the probability of obtaining a statistic assuming that the null hypothesis is true, but not the probability of the null hypothesis being true. That always confused me....

  21. WOW! The public really doesn't like us, huh?

    amandakash replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a nurse yet, but I was inspired to become one based on the nurses I've encountered over the years. Not only from my hospital experiences, but those of my family as well, especially my...

  22. Should I go Physician's Assistant or Nurse Practitioner in KY?

    amandakash replied to jaredsgirl's topic in General Nursing

    I think the only PA program in the state is at UK, and like mentioned earlier it requires much more intense pre-requisites. My primary care is done by a PA, and she went to UK and she's great. There...

  23. Taking CNA class now...when to apply for job?

    amandakash replied to CNA2bRN13's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    As a fellow student, I know what you're going through. I was planning to take a CNA class this summer but it ended up not working out so I cannot take it until the fall when I will already be in...

  24. How many semesters is your program?

    amandakash replied to JustDes's topic in General Students

    I'm in an accelerated, second degree BSN program that will last 4 semesters (16 months; fall, spring, summer, fall). The ADN program at my school is two years or four semesters. I do not know if...

  25. Any Good Books to Read Before Nursing School?

    amandakash replied to fadedstars34's topic in General Students

    Right now I'm reading "I Knew A Woman" by Cortney Davis. It deals specifically with being a woman and treating "the female condition". I've found it very insightful and well written. She handles...
