There are two places in my town that do titers. Neither one will tell me if my insurance (medicaid for poor people) will cover it. Has anyone on healthy options medicaid had their titers covered? I know when I was pregnant I got a hep b titer and a ...

Is there such a thing as an accelerated BSN program if you do not all ready have a BS or BA? Like a program where you have to have all co-reqs and pre-reqs and other courses done before applying so all you do in nursing school is nursing. Idealy it w...

Does anyone have any recommendations for studying for Patho? I have been using the online resources for my textbook and the book itself. Any free interactive resources would be appreciated. Thanks

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 gpa and their total gpa with me? This is my first...

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 volunteering at a hospital that I live close to (...

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 now but have had five sets throughout my life and wo...

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 qualified and have the knowledge needed to start a nursing...

It's late and I am stumped! Any suggestions on why people who have renal failure bruise so easily? Thanks

I'm trying to think of things that would benefit my career in the long term if I do not get to start nursing school this fall. I am currently a CNA and have all pre reqs done for various nursing programs. I am wondering if becoming an EMT (one ter...

Is there such a thing? I have BLS for healthcare providers and it expires 1/13 and I would like to renew/extend the expiration. Thanks

So due to financial reasons I don't think I will be attending the nursing school I got into this fall. I am considering trying to get into a MA program through ROP. I still plan on applying to RN programs for next fall. Would it be worthwhile to just...

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 qualified or choose to go to different schools, then I a...

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 the waitlist but now I'm 13th! Oh and there were on...

I'm going to try to 'sneak in' to signing up for this class that is offered online in addition to taking an in person EMT course (or maybe instead of if I land a new and perfect job;) PreParamedic Transition: An intense course with anatomy, physiolo...

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 though!

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 pathophysiology was the few EKG interpretations we learned! I'm...

Yeah I applied to every type of financial aid possible. I was awarded two scholarships when I was first admitted to the university. However these scholarships are for non impacted majors only so as soon as I was officially accepted into the BSN progr...

Well I am all ready a CNA and have been for almost two years. I need a change of pace if I don't get into nursing school this fall. I think I found an EMT course that is just one semester long three days a week (so I could work as a CNA while doing s...

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 applying to changed their standards so I spent ano...

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 couple of general education classes. This isn't rea...

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, lol.

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 six months there would be about 'two weeks' worth of...

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 on our own. The first question is: When pr...

Thanks everyone for getting me thinking! I have decided I am going with hydrocephalus for what is caused by uneven pressure in the brain. I think this article along with your responses would make it correct... Demonstration of uneven distribution of ...

I am not in nursing school yet but when I did my prereqs I did not have a car. At one campus I would ride my bike 45 mins each way. The other school I rode my bike 15 mins and then took the bus for an hour. Now I have a car! However I think I would p...
