Any updates from anyone?

Hey all. What does it say for your Major when you check your status? Does it say nursing or your second choice (if you picked one)?? seems like everyone found out last year at christmas time, such a long wait!

Where do you check your status to see it say a decision has been made?

I am taking micro with a tough professor, and I regret not withdrawing now. I dropped down my hours at work to have less distractions, but I am still not doing well. My grade dropped from an A to a B after the first exam, and is now at a B- after our first practical. I spend hours organizing my notes, reading them over, reading them on work breaks, listening to youtube videos.... I don't even know if I can maintain a B+ with getting perfect scores on every remaining assignment. Advice? Should I stick it out? Should I retake with a new professor next semester - will that have a negative impact on applying into a program? I chanced this guy based off of 95% negative reviews on ratemyprofessor, and I know not to do that again I'm so stressed because I'm putting in so much effort; hours on my lab reports and at home quizzes, which I get 100's on, but the exam and practical killed me. Any advice would be appreciated

Do they accept transfer prereqs, or do they all need to be taken at Regis?

I have 3 upcoming interviews @ 3 Boston Hospitals, and just wondering if anyone had insight on better ones to work at. Pay, experience, room for growth, flexibility (I'm in school)?? They're all per diem positions, but I'd like to get my foot in the door somewhere in town

Question about the math exam.. When do you take it & what exactly is on it?

Thank you!!

Question. I was in a pediatric patient's room for about an hour holding the patient, who has RSV. I had gowned up, wore gloves before holding, and washed my hands after. I didn't wear a mask. At first it wasn't explained to me that this patient had RSV, just "respiratory issues" until I looked in the computer and saw for myself. Issue is, I have an infant at home. Is my baby at risk now? I showered after work as I got home and hadn't touched my baby until this morning.

So I have come into contact with many sick patients lately. Contact & droplet precautions, and just coming into too many bodily fluids for my liking when I am not gowned. How can I properly disinfect my scrubs? I usually do cold water because the hot water will eventually break down the material, and put them in the dryer for the heat to kill any germs. What should I add in the wash? Peroxide, vinegar? Can't use bleach on colored scrubs

Heart and soul makes thick but not too hot long sleeve shirts I bought @ my local scrub store. They also sell regular clothing at Kohls. But the tops are very durable and warm.

What is the appropriate way?? Can't use bleach on colored scrubs. I just used hot water (which will eventually ruin the material :/) and vinegar with Clorox2 & tide. Any suggestions???

I still have my science courses to do, I just wanted to know if I can apply @ more schools than just Massasoit. Thank you for your insight :)

I have for an LPN program but it didn't include science, just math reading & english.

So basically any program can accept you as long as you've completed their required pre reqs, even if none are actually taken there?? Say I have my science classes done but not chemistry and I want to try for Quincy, could I simply use my transcript and take chemistry @ Quincy and apply? Thank you!!

Hi, silly question - but if you complete your science, english, psych/soc pre-reqs at a community college and don't get into their program, can you apply into another community college's nursing program with those classes you have taken? And how does applying into a BSN program work - the same, take pre reqs at a com. college, shoot for a high GPA and apply?

What was the end result of this?

Should these show up on CORI checks? Could it be an error that these would show up?

I put some bleach on a cotton ball for the bottoms of the shoes - theres some kind of stain that will NOT come out!!! I dont know what else I can use

Hi, I have a pair of the white leather Dansko clogs. Theyre only a few months old and I wipe them every shift if i have time, but I've never really cleaned them-cleaned them. I can't find a valid sorce saying if bleach is totally safe, and if so do I soak them in a bleach/water solution and if so how long? Do I just put some on a rag and spot clean? I've read people saying they put theirs in the washer... i just feel like that is so risky for shoes this expensive. Any personal experiences? I just want to start doing weekly cleanings that will kill germs and make them look fresh. Thanks!

Did you find a job?

Hi, I just had an interview fora PN program yesterday/ It went really well and I should be expecting an acceptance letter in the mail by February (fingers crossed!) -during the interview the woman suggested that I get an anatomy book at the practical nursing level, not the registered nursing level, so I can read it over the summer before the program starts and get familiar with some of the terminology. Does anyone know a good book? I'm looking on amazon and not having too much look with "Anatomy practical nursing" as a search. And if you can think of any other books that would be helpful in a little preparation for things I'll be learning starting in September please let me know. THanks!!

Did you make it in? Did those count as 'passing?'

Hi! I took the TEAS exam the other day for a practical nursing program. Can anyone help me figure out the results? I think they had told us the percentages we had to get in order to pass according to the school, but the results page from the ATI website makes no sense to me!! Are there general scores that are 'passing' or is it individualized for each program? Also, does anyone know how long it would take to get a respones from the school regarding a possible interview for entrance to the program? Thanks!

Not sure if I ever responded... MA-hand washing, dressing patient with leftsided weakness, pulse, communication and documenting
