Hey pinkpokey An OPT = Optional Practical Training. An OPT is essentially a one year work visa that any foreign student who graduates from at least a two year program in the U.S. automatically qualifies for. Your sister would not qualify if she pl...

Hey! I am currently a male (last time I checked) in his mid-40's and a nursing student. I'll be graduating just before Christmas if all goes well. There are another six of us in my class. Being male has never been an issue. Best of luck to you! pa...

I win "re-essayez" 's all the time. Haven't collected one yet, though. Mitchell

UPDATE: Thanks everyone for your input. Some more answers have come in from other members of my class, so for the sake of interest, I thought I would post them here. I double checked the answers in the Weldy F&E book, and well as our med/surg the...

Today in lecture we were given a research project. The instructor said it was fair game to collaborate with our colleagues, so I was hoping to get some help from my colleagues on here! Our group came up with answers for the other +/- 80 q's. Here goe...

Okay, I've dug a bit deeper and have the answers for #'s 32, 56 and 83. Any other help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello babyrn06, In our program, the way MLOS described it is how we did it too, and we started charting in second semester in the ADN program. So far, all of our hospitals still used paper charts, except at the VA where they were all done on the 'pu...

Hey Humiliated! Sorry I missed this thread the first time around. I too remember your original thread. I'm so happy for you! Cograts! I knew you had the where-with-all to succeed! Best of luck with your new job too!! Mitchell

Hello gang! I'm currently in level II in an ADN program here in Buffalo, N.Y. The news around our program is regarding the exit exam from the program. I'd never heard of an exit exam until this semester. To graduate from our program, the student need...

Hi Fatima! I was wondering the same thing when I read your post. I know at our school, you're allowed to fail any one semester and still be in the program. After two failures, you're gone. What's your program's policy? Best of luck next time 'round...

Hi Belleo924! I go to ECC city! I'm just about to start my 3rd semester. I did my pre-reqs at north in the fall of '03. I took NU115 at North with Daut. I think I still remember some of the names of the students: I remember Gene and Mindy S. for...

Hey LT! That's pretty amazing! What's your specialty? PM me if you're too shy to tell everyone. I'm still in school but know I need to specialize ASAP. Mitchell

Hello everyone from the Tampa Bay area! I need some help. In January my girlfriend (whom I'm in Nursing School with) and I are traveling to the Tampa area where we are planning to move to after graduation in '05. We've booked our flight and have rent...

I'm in my second semester of my ADN. We lost 27 our first semester, and just lost another 6 after finals this semester. One girl had a baby, and missed a lot of classes and just couldn't catch up when she finally did come back. Another two had rea...

Bets and Angie, You guys are too funny! Okay, I will try to make it to Frenchy's for the grouper sandwich. I used to go to the New Port Richey area quite a bit a couple of years ago. I had a friend who lived there. We plan on taking a day trip ov...

Hey Angie! Thanks for the sites! We're arriving in Tampa at 12:30 a.m. on the 5th. I've booked our room at the Sailport Waterfront Suites @ 2506 Rocky Point Drive, Tampa. Thanks again for your help! Mitchell and Pam

Hello momoftriplets: I once rented a summer cottage to a nurse attorney from Buffalo, N.Y. I've since lost touch with her, but here's what she told me: She was an RN - BSN for several years. For her to become an attorney, it was three years in law ...

Thanks Bets... Well, we are going north as far as Port Richey/New Port Richey. Can anyone help? We'll be leaving the airport at 1:00 a.m. and don't really want to drive around for hours trying to find something. S.O.S....S.O.S.... Mitchell and Pam

Maybe you're right. I have no idea who came up with having students perform above the national average to qualify for graduation - although I do have my suspicions. The thing is, is that if other schools have an exit exam, then I'll just have to pa...

Thanks guys! This reminds me of a joke I once heard: What did the jail bird say when he found out he was going to be hanged? That's 'noose' to me! Mitchell

Canada has a surplus of the vaccine, just like every year. This year, however, instead of dumping the excess, the U.S. will likely be buying it. I hear it's around 2.5 million doses. If you're wondering why Canada isn't affected by the shortage, i...

Hello CRNA's! I was hoping to get some help with my perioperative assignment. I am an ADN student who had a surgical rotation today. I missed having a CRNA question answered and was hoping you could help. 4. c) Explain completely the purpose behin...
