    Is this legal?

    maddiem replied to uncledaddy's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Wow...I would be frustrated too!! I'm so sorry you're going through this! Its best to not fight with the college to avoid trouble and just bite the bullet and finish the prep course! It may seem...

    maddiem replied to RickyLatino87's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Thanks for replying so quick!! Also an other question...I heard that RU is moving to Chicago? Has this already happened or is it still in Oak Park? I probably won't be applying until next fall because...

    Hi everyone! Looks like no one has been on here in a while...but I'll leave my comment anyway:) I'm considering a few nursing schools and RU is one of them. How does their guaranteed admissions...

    Loyola-Chicago ABSN

    maddiem replied to Genu9ine's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Does anyone know how they factor your GPA? Is it based only on your prerequisite courses? I have great prerequisite course grades. My other ones are okay - no D's or F's. But I have two C's and a...

    Medical Assistant/FutureRN

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

    I would just go straight into nursing! It would be a waste of time for you to get your medical assistant license. It wouldn't help you get into nursing school really. And being a CMA doesn't really...

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

    Congrats on starting school again! CNA courses are tough...Its a lot of info! Study everyday, make flash cards for terms, practice your skills at home, and read your book!!! This is a great time to...

    I start clinicals in 2 days. AAAGGGGHHHH!!

    maddiem replied to hawksrn2014's topic in General Students

    When I took my CNA course, I was just as nervous as you are for my first day taking care of residents! I felt like I had no idea what I was doing! But just remember that you can ALWAYS ask questions!...

    What does this mean (credit) - confused??

    maddiem replied to Novo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would contact your academic adviser or someone who would be qualified to answer this question asap so you can resolve the

    Was a nursing major...Now I'm thinking I want to be one again.

    maddiem posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just looking for some advice...I was a nursing major and completed A&P 1&2 with A's in both classes, took Nutrition - got an A, and took general Psych/Developmental and got A's plus other gen...

    Starting clinicals on Wednesday...I'm really nervous!!!

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

    That's what I was thinking...Not sure how else I'd study except for practicing on family members. I have my second clinical on Thursday. Still nervous about the whole thing but my first one went...

    maddiem posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm starting my clinicals on Wednesday...I'm so nervous about taking care of people for the first time! My instructor hasn't been very good about going into detail about skills. She talks about it and...

    Starting clinicals on Wednesday...I'm really nervous!!!

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

    Thanks everyone for the advice. My clinical went fairly well. I made and unoccupied bed, gave a partial bed bath, shaved a resident, fed a resident, gave oral care, and did nail care as well. It just...

    Am I being overly sensitive?

    maddiem replied to mrsharris2011's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You need to report the abuse. That is unacceptable what that nurse did. Tell your instructor and she will help you do what needs to be done. If you don't report the abuse that is aiding and

    "C" in A&P1 Can and should I take it again?

    maddiem replied to raspysunny's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If I were you I would retake it. 5 weeks is not long enough to learn everything you need to know from A&P 1. Its really important that you fully understand everything you learn in A&P because...

    Please tell me this isn't normal

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

    I'm not a CNA yet but I'm currently taking the class now. If I'm not mistaken (correct me if I'm wrong), CNA's aren't suppose to distribute medication...This is what my instructor has been telling us....

    Organic chemistry, statistics, and anatomy together?

    maddiem replied to nelnel89's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Organic is CRAZY HARD. I have friends who took it with pretty heavy course loads and they had to work their asses off just to barely get a 80%. A&P is a whole other world...There is lots of...

    Could i get into College with my grades?

    maddiem replied to futurenurse1248's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Getting accepted a 4 year college/university doesn't mean that you got accepted to the nursing program. Your major will be considered "pre-nursing" for your first 2 years because you will be...

    How did everyone do in your Spring classes?

    maddiem replied to lifelearningrn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had a good semester! I got an A in A&P 2, A in Nutrition, and a B in Sociology (kind put this class on the back burner because I was focusing so hard on A&P...) Over all I did really well...

    To be (a nurse) or not to be (a nurse)....that is the question.

    maddiem replied to manskette's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My advice to you is to get your BSN and not just your RN from a community college. If you just get your RN from a community college, you will have a very hard time finding a job because most hospitals...
