  1. Penn Valley / National American University????

    hospitalstaph replied to butterfly88's topic in General Nursing

    Good idea. I applied at three different schools with the idea that I would go with whoever called me first. Sad that it's this way huh?? Good luck to you,

  2. penn valley in kc

    hospitalstaph replied to wannabe arn's topic in General Nursing

    I got the letter too. I am not really sure what it means about the wait time. It did mention that the requirements for admission may change too. I have started in another program, so I asked to be...

  3. Can I earn RN online?

    hospitalstaph replied to busykymom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes they are. I have heard that it is difficult to set up your own clinicals but I am sure that this varies by location.

  4. Do I need a recorder....

    hospitalstaph replied to Christinmomof3nrs2be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I really think that it depends on the way that you learn. To listen to an audio tape of a lecture that I had heard once before would put me to sleep! But, as Eric said, I do think that some people...

  5. Penn Valley / National American University????

    hospitalstaph replied to butterfly88's topic in General Nursing

    So far, I love

  6. Penn Valley / National American University????

    hospitalstaph replied to butterfly88's topic in General Nursing

    not even sure where to start.... that is great that you have earned your scholarships (i am not sure how it is that i have not). and i did pay out of pocket for all of my gen eds, so i am not sure...

  7. Penn Valley / National American University????

    hospitalstaph replied to butterfly88's topic in General Nursing

    i transferred all of my gen eds into nau. there were only two classes required, other than nursing classes, that i needed to take at nau. so it is not costing me anywhere near $30k. i have about...

  8. Got a question about Penn Valley????

    hospitalstaph replied to katie_jean_bean's topic in General Nursing

    Last time I checked, which was last fall, the wait to get into the program at PV was 2 years after you have completed pre-reqs and taken the NET. This is what I was told by the staff, but someone else...

  9. Experience with SNS systems?

    hospitalstaph replied to PhoenixGirl's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Check out Dee Kassing's article on using bottles to reinforce breastfeeding. It is available on Kellymom.com. Best of luck!

  10. 77% Rule

    hospitalstaph replied to Sunshine Sweetheart's topic in General Students

    We have ATI. No matter what our grade up to that point, if we fail ATI, we are out of the program.

  11. Just got back from taking the TEAS (long)

    hospitalstaph replied to Catlover2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took Teas in January. Our program only admitted those that scored 85% and up. I think that some programs don't look at it as closely though.

  12. Working for hospitals pay nursing expenses?

    hospitalstaph replied to narcissistic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Many of the hospitals will also offer scholarships if you promise to work for them after graduation. One near me offers $2000 per semester for a one year commitment. (and you don't need to work for...

  13. Some musings about reading posts here...

    hospitalstaph replied to Lurksalot's topic in General Nursing

    I can get over the minor spelling or grammar errors. My problem is when there are so many that you cannot understand what the OP is even trying to say. I also have a hard time with the posts that...

  14. Chat Room Access????

    hospitalstaph replied to maryshome8's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks Cutting, I knew there was a rule, just couldn't remember what it was:)

  15. Chat Room Access????

    hospitalstaph replied to maryshome8's topic in General Nursing

    I think you need to be a premium member to use the chat room. Hope this helps,

  16. Penn Valley / National American University????

    hospitalstaph replied to butterfly88's topic in General Nursing

    BTW, NAU's tuition just went up by

  17. What are the item(s) you need most for nursing school?

    hospitalstaph replied to rn2be2006's topic in General Students

    It's a personal digital assistant. Some programs require them. Are you pre-nursing or nursing?

  18. 77% Rule

    hospitalstaph replied to Sunshine Sweetheart's topic in General Students

    Mine also has the rule:) Anything below 76% is failing! I thought that all nursing programs were like this, are they not?

  19. Nails question

    hospitalstaph replied to Yannie021's topic in General Nursing

    I keep Sally Hansen Maximum Growth on mine. It does not chip (more like peels) but you will ofcourse need to check it everyday to see if it needs to be reapplied. My nails very, very rarely split....

  20. Want to become A NP but have to Go the BSN route!

    hospitalstaph replied to dmoorer76's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I find it strange that someone would want to go into a field that is so much about caring and yet wants to get out of that part of it as soon as possible. I would hate for one of my patients that is...

  21. RN or ADN?

    hospitalstaph replied to olive003's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it's important to point out that they may not be accredited for a good reason. A new program can get state approval (thus allowing you to sit for NCLEX) but has to wait until they graduate...

  22. opinions about epidurals

    hospitalstaph replied to Jayla's topic in Ob/Gyn

    thanks for the interesting post. i do think, however, that you misunderstood tntrn's point. she misses the good 'ole days when she helped women through labor. and yeah she probably does find it...

  23. opinions about epidurals

    hospitalstaph replied to Jayla's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You may be correct in some cases but certainly not all. With one of mine, I requested an epi at 8.5 cm. My birthplan very clearly stated that I did not want an epi. This wonderful nurse really...

  24. ER: The dumping place

    hospitalstaph replied to Happy-ER-RN's topic in Emergency

    I have to agree that there is a certain level of disrespect of the ER. I am sure that most can agree the ignorance, although irritating, is not near as maddening as the following: Being in the ER...

  25. Advice/encouragement for new LPN student!

    hospitalstaph replied to hsfarrara's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have personally never witnessed the RN-LPN negative banter in real life, but I know that it must exist because I know many, many techs and LPN's do not like RN students. However, this is a...
