OP, I'll gladly work with you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You're more than generous, not sure why there's any moaning at all. Not sure how said nurse would do without you.

The same exact thing is happening to me. Because of that, I am looking into UT Tyler. They have a similar RN-BSN program that can be completed in 12 months (rather than UTA's 13 months). UT Tyler also has an RN-MSN that has many (if not most) classes...

amac77, there's a few things I could recommend: -Go to youtube and go over vital signs and how to take them, medication administration, things like this. Youtube REALLY helped me. -When you get your book list, (if you can) buy the books quickly and p...

Empty the Foley they said, it'll be easy they said!

Congrats you guys for getting in!!!!!!!! I think you'll love nursing school a lot...from the friends you make to the instructors and clinicals. If ya'll have any questions about anything just let me or makey know. Again, congratulations! Let the jo...

Sorry you guys haven't found out yet. :/ We found out when we were accepted around Aril 18 last year, so I'm not sure why it's taking so long this time around. To be honest, the waiting is one of the hardest parts of nursing school (so far anyways......

Yeah generic starts in Late August (23rd or around there). :)

At my school, we're not allowed to do that stuff (not that we'd want to sit around anyways...wouldn't learn much). We're graded not only on skills but on professionalism. Gossiping? That would land you in hot water. Sitting? That's unsatisfactory. Un...

He says his pain is a 10...but I don't buy it.

Hah...your shirt won't be white by the end of the shift.

Because nobody wants a good nurse to retire, especially early!

Of course it's a higher cost to hospitals...or perhaps the people who own these hospitals. This legislation would benefit all of us!

I promise to stick you on 3 this time!!!!!!!!

I'm in the 2nd semester of the ADN program as well! If you have any questions just let us know! In regards to how many people applied, I believe I heard somewhere between 400-600 (applications coming from as far north as Dallas). The teachers are AM...

Check to see if your cc can waive the fee for the test. Also, you might look online for scholarships. There are THOUSANDS floating around the internet, and you have a good chance of getting a number of them. :) Hope everything works out!

Age is important here. I remember when I was younger, I was the epitome of scrawny...and I'm STILL much skinnier than I'd like to be (current BMI as underweight...I hate my metabolism). Really does depend on the child, but talking to the parents migh...

I wish for contentment in life, regardless of the conditions. :)

It is all in good fun (as well as good intent). :) I'm a guy, and I'd wear the cap! hahaha Now if they wanted to bring back the entire nursing outfit from prior years...well let's just say I'm not wearing a dress! :) It shows where nursing has been...

I was laid off because the world is ending before Christmas. Looks like you won't be getting more pay and less work for Christmas after all.

Inappropriate...and more importantly, UNPROFESSIONAL. Not exactly sure how this was allowed by the instructors.

Thank you so very much for posting! This needs to be repeated many times as often as possible. Gossip has no place in our profession. It does nothing more than degrade others. LOVE IS ALL WE NEED!

You got accepted into the program, so it looks like you have another chance to prove yourself. Abide by the rules and regulations of the facility and state, and you'll be fine. The good thing is that you recognized your problem and decided it is not ...

There are programs that are very similar to the OU program...so maybe they can transfer? Surely they will allow those who are already enrolled through the current program.

I was taking vitals on an elderly patient. Before I began taking vitals, she asks "Do you want me to take my shirt off?" I politely (trying my best not to laugh) tell her that isn't necessary. The next question: "Want me to take my bra off?" I nearl...

Thank you for sharing! Sounds like you've got the perfect working environment! Just reading your story excited me!
