^^^This^^^ everything in her post is spot on

That article says nothing about medical care that Hispanics receive. I have seen countless anecdotes and research articles posted that state how prejudice is a problem in the medical community. I think one user hit it spot on the head that it’s rare ...

You don’t have to be “logical” about it. There’s studies on top of studies about it. Honestly, the first step is to acknowledge you have a bias and that these biases exist. Then taking the steps to try to combat these biases. Heres maybe a starting ...

*sigh* Her political motives aside...she has a point. Now to generalize and say that all nurses and doctors treat black women differently, is far reaching but there is implicit bias out there, not only have I seen it, I’ve experienced it. I worked P...

So I currently work as a nurse educator at a large teaching hospital for two units. During my time in this position, ive been responsible teaching numerous classes as well designing some. I’ve done clinical teaching as well for nursing students. I re...

I graduated from Duke 12/18 and actually passed boards today. You are estimating cost correctly but there are sometimes scholarships as well. I had one so my loans were a little less. I completed the program part time and it took me 3 years. Althou...

Has any one ever heard of accesa labs? They have a website were you can pay a fee and get blood titers at labcorp. I was thinking of using them because i dont gave any insurance, and this would be cheaper tgan going through a doctors office. I just ...

Hi all! I just got accept to the spring 2016 class AGNP. Any heads up on either what to look out or watch out for? Any tips you wish you would've known? Thanks!!

I work at a very large hospital on a 28 bed telemetry unit. I work night shift on the weekend (sat, sun, mon). I'm The dedicated relief charge nurse because usually we need it On The weekend. I'm The most senior member on nights and I'm about 3 mont...

So I had a patient with CHF that hadn't eaten or drinken all day. There was a 1500cc fluid restriction but she was no where near that limit. That night her pressure dropped into the 70s and 60s. I asked the dr. for a 250cc bolus because she was sympt...

Hey all! Congrats and good luck to everyone accepted! I graduated from this program Feb. 2012 and I have been a practicing nurse. So here are a few truths and tips and tricks to the program. 1. It's hectic and disorganized so just be ready to roll w...

So I just graduated from an ABSN course. 13 months of crazy essentially. Like you, I have a child (she was 4-5) during the program and I didn't work. From my stand point, I preferred to finish quickly and not have worry about returning to school for ...

Just curious OP...have you taken your boards yet?

First of all, you are not dumb and no one is smarter than you. Others have just picked up the system faster! So I'm going to give you the same advice I gave my classmates....you know too much. Let me explain....Nursing school tests are critical thin...

Yea...the info can be a little tricky to find...here's the link to the application and a brief overview of the program http://wssu.edu/school-health-sciences/departments/nursing/media/2012-accel-bsn-app.pdf The program is the exact same as the standa...

Well, It really depends on if you are willing to move. I recently graduated from Winston Salem State University's ABSN program, in NC and you will earn a BSN. There are some leadership courses but that's the nature of the beast with a BSN. You wil...

Well, helping really depends on what difficulties you are having. When you are doing your trainers, do you find that you are having problems with the content in the question or is it that you feel as you understand the content the answers are just w...

So, I was in the same situation you were in and I choose the ABSN. I figured that I would rather do a 13-month program vs. a 24 month program PLUS have to go back for my BSN. I literally just finished and it was hard as hell, but I would still do ...

Thank you everyone for the advice! I just finished and it was awesome!!! I tried to keep and open mind and just ask questions about any and everything. I learned a million new skills, especially time management and documenting. I had a lot of dum...

I just found out that my preceptorship is in the cardiothoracic ICU and I'm excited but extremely nervous. What should I brush up on to not only be at my best but also impress my preceptor and show her that I want to learn. I guess I'm looking for wh...

Awesome Suggestions!! Thanks you all so much!!

Hi I'm from the area and I don't go to nc A&T but I do go to Winston Salem State University. Our program is older and our pass rates are higher. The price is probably comparable. You should look into that.

OK!! Thanks to my good buddy Monster41 I got the Facebook group up! Here's the link http://www.facebook.com/groups/281375808571534/ and the group name is WSSU Accelerated Class of 2013. I made it a closed group so that our comments/documents and what...
