    DarkLotus posted a topic in School, College Programs

  4. Reno Area Schools

    DarkLotus posted a topic in Nevada Nursing

    Hello, I am across the border in CA but am considering relocating to Reno. I am hoping I'll be considered competitive at UNR. Could anyone who got into the UNR Orvis nursing school share their pre-req...

  5. Does volunteering at a hospital help?

    DarkLotus posted a topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Right now I am working as a CNA in home health and I hate it! I love the work but I hate the driving around numerous times in one day. I would rather commute once and be done with it! I am thinking of...

  6. Nurses with dreadlocks

    DarkLotus posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am curious if those of you with dreadlocks have faced any difficulties in finding jobs or fitting the professional image required. Do you wear a head covering while at work? I do not have locks...

  7. Waitlist Support Thread

    DarkLotus posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Since being on the wait list for a nursing program is some type of limbo between acceptance and rejection I figured I should start a support thread! Being placed on the waitlist means you are...

    DarkLotus replied to cookiemonster84's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  12. Waitlist Status

    DarkLotus posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The school I applied to was able to tell me that they got a total of 35 applications an I was the 33ed. They accept the first 30 qualified applicants. So if three people who applied were not...

  13. Waitlist Status

    DarkLotus replied to DarkLotus's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well I just found out that the program has decreased the number of accepted students down to 20 (or possibly 24 if they can hire another clinical instructor in time). I was optimistic being third on...

  14. Should I become an EMT?

    DarkLotus replied to DarkLotus's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  15. Should I become an EMT?

    DarkLotus replied to DarkLotus's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I *think* it depends on the program and LVN/LPN's do not learn to start IV's but RNs do. I might be wrong

  16. Should I become an EMT?

    DarkLotus replied to DarkLotus's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    The only phlebotomy classes I have been able to find are part of LVN programs or offered through hospitals only for employees... I would love to take a EKG course, my favorite subject in...

  19. I'm never goin to reach my destination

    DarkLotus replied to LaceElaine's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well I'm almost 30 and have been trying to go to nursing school since I was 25, lol. I spent two years doing the classes for a pre nursing associates degree to realize that most of the programs I was...

  20. My school has a pre-nursing program but No clincals

    DarkLotus replied to Malpal23's topic in LPN to RN

    It sounds like the school has a pre nursing associates degree which will not allow you to sit for the NCLEX. Typically these pre-nursing degrees are just the pre requisites for an ADN program plus a...

  21. Waitlist Status

    DarkLotus replied to DarkLotus's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks! I was accepted into a BSN program but can not attend because of financial reasons (no BOGFW at universities) so I am hoping I get into this LPN program through waitlist karma,

    DarkLotus replied to sky_blue's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    My answer comes from the perspective of a mom not as a nurse. The LMP IS two weeks prior to conception. Did you take into consideration that most months are 4 weeks and two days so over the span of...

  23. Need Help With Patho

    DarkLotus posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    So my study buddies and I are stumped by a couple of questions. I am hoping the answer is found through critical thinking that we are just too burnt out from taking path in eight weeks to realize it...
