    FinallyRNStatus replied to FinallyRNStatus's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Thank you so much for all your input. You have put my mind at ease to know it is not always a necessary or sometimes even an option to have bedside suction for every patient. Also interesting to know...

    Hi there. Unfortunately 2 semesters ago they never updated any RAP review during my application process. So none of us knew what tier we were in we just got a letter of acceptance in the mail. Not...

  3. Graduate nurse without job...Advice Please!!!

    FinallyRNStatus replied to ILuvJersey_RN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    When some of the more experienced nurses start retiring jobs will begin opening up. It's not exactly a good time to retire ...thus, no new jobs opening up. So have hope...our day will come.

    Like awarren said, those will be the only books you use plus the nursing care plan book. The Med-Surg and nursing care plan books are at the library and will only be used briefly compared to Nursing...

    Simplyblessed: Ohh I hope not! I think one of the things that make Aria's program stand out is that is more affordable than other programs. If they take that away and start charging people more for...

  11. Too much emphasis on "caring"

    FinallyRNStatus replied to sweet~revenge's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for addressing this topic. I was thinking the same thing myself. Obama's health reform act will push healthcare payment based on outcomes. However, never say never, because legislation can...

    FinallyRNStatus replied to simplyblessed's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    @simplyblessed. Yes the school costs that much, but cost of attendance (COA) is different. It is the estimated amount a student pays to go to school at AHSN and includes transportation, food, books,...

    @awarren no announcements that I know of. Does anyone know the schools Cost of Attendance for 2012-2013 school year. I spoke w/ Jeanne and I though she said $30,062...which seems like an odd number....

    Hey Amber check out Bumblebees post on p 49. It seems we don't need hardly any books our first semester. I already puchased the test/nclex review books and I will probably use them to prep for tests...

    Simplyblessed. Yeah I have some white k-swiss shoes I'll be using until I can buy the nursemates I want. Renting and buying later...that is a good way to spread out the costs. I like

    FinallyRNStatus replied to simplyblessed's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Does anyone remember our nursing shoes needed to be solid white? I do remember no mesh. I found these cute nursemate shoes with a grey paisley pattern. They probably don't fit the requirement
