  1. No nursing shortage: roll call!

    The island of Oahu, HI. I'm in nursing school and I checked local hospitals for positions last night, every hospital here is hiring. Also Jacksonville, NC and surrounding area hospitals are hiring as...
  2. Questions about Nurse Practitioner Degree

    It depends on the areas but many NPs work 12 hour shifts in the hospitals if they are ED NPs. In most cases schools will only accept you after you have had a years experience as an RN in the clinical...
  3. What does Background Check show?

    Yeah mostly the background checks are to see what convictions you have ever had. Even if they were to try and delve into your mental health history, I think that would be a violation of dr-pt...
  4. I did A&p I and microbiology together. It wasn't that bad. It is definitely doable, although you might not have much time for much else. I did it when I had a 3 month old and 3 year old and got...

  6. Pre Entrance Exam

    the kaplan review was great when I took the NLN-rn pax. alot of my friends have used the ati books for the teas.
  7. didn't get nln score yet

    I think it goes off the % Correct Score. UH needs at least 50% in each category and you meet that so that is good. I'm a bit puzzled by the "relative performance" category. I have no idea what that...
  8. Pathophysiology ??s

    Awesome! Thank you so much! Yes I loved a&p and love science in general. My professor always included some patho into his lectures, I found it
  9. what is Bio 202? Is that
  10. didn't get nln score yet

    The way I believe UH interprets it is from the "ALL" category. They also look at the composite score but maybe not the percentile. Their minimums is that you pass more than 50% of each section. The...
  11. Pathophysiology ??s

    Thanks! I will surely pick some up (or order them). I still have my netters a&p flash cards so I will use them
  12. Borders Bookstore going under, stock up?

    Yeah I just went the other day (I'm in HI) and all medical related and medical reference and nursing books were only 10% off. The shelves were pretty much bare too! There was a ton of NCLEX-PN books...
  13. Need advice about degree decisions

    You should apply to every program you can, ADN, traditional BSN, whatever you meet admission criteria for. Traditional BSN and ADN programs are just as competitive as an accelerated BSN. Good
  14. No problem! Happy to help! I just remember some of those being on my NLN and I was like OMG I don't remember anything about this. It later made sense when I did take Chem lol. I just tried to make the...
  15. didn't get nln score yet

    They get posted online now? My score came to me via usps. It took about 3 weeks for me to get it. When did you take the test? Are you applying for spring? Sometimes the school will get the score...

  18. Just Curious To Know

    I have bad news, I just went to ECUs website because I was trying to find out some info on the FNP program. Unfortunately the CRNA program is not part time. Its full time. I myself am still weighing...
  19. Student loans and the Govt standoff

    I have a pell and unsub and sub loans for the 2011-2012 school year so I'm good I guess?! well for this school year anyway. There is a movement on facebook called save the pell. Big government...
  20. Minor

    I was thinking about getting a certificate in forensic anthropology while completing my BSN, I'm not sure about that though. I think I may have enough for a minor in something... anything. Hopefully I...
  21. Just Curious To Know

    There is a part time CRNA program at East Carolina University I believe... I may be mistaken but check into it. They are not very expensive, I was looking into them for PA
  22. I would say know your laws of thermodynamics, as well as your boyle's law, charles' law and Gay-Lussac's law. Those are helpful. I hadn't taken chem before I took the NLN and did really well. I think...
  23. When did you start clinicals?

    It does vary a lot. My school says we are supposed to start clinicals 3 weeks after school starts. I have had friends have to wait until 6 weeks into their semester before they started. I've started...
  24. Orientation

    when in doubt, do business casual. We have to wear our polos and either khaki or black pants. We have class pics and our pledging ceremony so I guess they want us to wear our lecture uniforms. khakis...
  25. Confused about how this all works...

    Generally you have to take pre-reqs before applying to any nursing school or college of nursing/health sciences within a university system. With that being said, you need to look up the specific...
