Congratulations on everyone getting in to the program. How exciting for all of you. I have some older edition textbooks if anyone is interested. I may have some white scrub tops and green bottoms as well. Not asking much for them. Just want them out ...

I am still on a stethoscope quest. I currently have a Littmann Cardio III. Recently tried out my friend's Littmann Master Cardiology and the sound quality was a big difference for me as my hearing is not that great and seems to have declined a bit. I...

Hi, I am very new to allnurses.com and had a few questions. I would greatly appreciate any help. I am a Hawaii resident that applied to the MEPN program for Fall 2011 and did not get in probably due to my bachelor's GPA. Ahhh.... the follies of yout...

Does anyone have any recommendations for a reasonably priced stethescopes for clinicals? I know that UH recommends the Littman Cardiology III but I don't want to spend that much at least for now. I currently have a Prestige Medical that I got when I ...

going2BaNurse2014 and SNSWTR, do you know what books we will be needing for the upcoming semester? I am hoping to save some money and order some online but that can take quite a while for shipping. I am sure others would be interested in the info als...

I am just curious. What is the cost for the nursing program at KCC per semester or per year? Thank you!

Congratulations gocards! Hope to finally meet everyone at orientation.

SNSWTR, thanks for your encouragement and advice now and during the application process. It really helps to hear from those that have already gone through the experience. How is school going and balancing with your family? I will be in the same boat ...

Our first orientation is tentatively scheduled for December 9 and the second one is tentatively on Jan 4 or 5. I was speaking with someone I just met who is finishing up her last semester and she totally recommended asking others about professors so ...

Here is a website that reviews instructors: http://blog.ratemyprofessors.com/ I would definitely recommend taking the A&P classes at a CC versus UH. The classes are much smaller. I took my A&P classes at WCC. I really liked the class and lea...

going2BaNurse2014, thank you so much for your advice. It helps a lot. I will take the pants if you still have them. Which professors would you recommend? I haven't even thought about that yet. I am still in the process of getting through my health re...

keala, I was able to walk in and do it but I did call them first to make sure that it was ok. There are a whole slew of requirements to be met. Mainly, they are hep B, TDaP, 2 step TB, titers, physical exam, forms, etc. I went in and checked out th...

I did receive my email already. One of the things is having a 2 step TB test done. Lanakila Health Center says that once you have done a 2 step test, you don't need to take it again just the regular one every year. But I confirmed with the person han...

NeekoDango, Adrenergic, Swordfight and homesweethome. Don't give up! I am sure I will see you on campus soon! Congratulations! Mireille628, keala0102 and francobeano! Can't wait to meet you all next month. Have you all started on your health requirem...

Thank you aukei04. hcs808, My stats are: pGPA: 4.0 cGPA: 3.5 NLN: Science: 93 Math: 97 Verbal: 97 I did apply to MEPN, though, for Fall 2011 and I didn't get it. I think my bachelor's GPA was too low. They didn't count my post-BA classes/grades. I...

francobeano, i got my bls at http://www.fastcprcard.com/ he also does first aid. i think it is $65 for each. i haven't done my first aid yet but i plan on going back because i remembered what he taught and the class did not take long at all. there wa...

Keep trying hcs808. The new program for KCC sounds really good. It would be a great way to save money and you would have your RN before you get to UH. I kinda wish I could go that route but it would take me even longer as I would have to redo my scie...

I received my acceptance letter today. I was so surprised to have received it so early. I just checked my laulima and it still has my current student status. But then again, I am not currently a UH student. I applied to UH and the nursing school at t...

Don't give up servealoha! Keep trying. I know you will get in! To my great surprise, I received my provisional acceptance letter today. They just need to receive my grades for Chem 151 that I am taking this semester. I nearly fell down on my knees a...

I am anxiously waiting as well. I also received a letter stating that they have everything for my application. It's now just the waiting game until November. I think the letter even stated that they'll be sending out letters at the end of November. I...

Attention Plus is always hiring. The do a skills check with you that will determine what level of care you can provide. They do train though for skills.

Hi, I was speaking with a friend and she had mentioned that there may be an expiration date for classes taken for UHM nursing pre-reqs. I know there is an expiration for science pre-req classes at KCC but didn't think there was one for UH. If there ...

Thank you! I called UH and they were able to verify that classes do not expire. I am so glad that I don't have to take any more classes than necessary. I also realize that it is so important to go over and verify all classes. I had taken a Chemistry ...

I wish you much luck SNSWTR. I think you will do great! Do you plan on working while going to school? I also have a litter of children. Family and my gpa are important but I am also thinking after what I have read that it's also important to already ...

Thank you SNSWTR for your reply. We won't get our letters until November and it seems like such a LONG wait but I wanted to get my application in and out of the way. How exciting for you! What year are you in UHM nursing? Also, how many hours do you...
