  1. The larger the gauge of the needle the smaller diameter???

    HM-8404 replied to CrystalClear75's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Needle gauge is determined by the diameter of the wire it is made with. This measurement comes from machinists. I am not exactly sure what unit of measurement machinists use but the best way to...

  2. Studying less and less as the program goes on

    HM-8404 replied to QuarterLife88's topic in General Students

    Maddiem...Your statement is obviously coming from a student. Actually what you learn in nursing school is how not to kill someone or recognize when they are getting worse and it is appropriate to call...

    HM-8404 replied to danceluver's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Got an acceptance letter into Wallace State ADN program. Still waiting to hear back from UAB. At least I will be in nursing school this

  4. No jobs for new nursing grads?! Please helppp!

    HM-8404 replied to futurenurse97's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    One way to determine the "job shortage" is to look on your local hospital's job sites and see how many RN jobs they have posted at any given time. When I first joined the Navy there were dozens of job...

  5. Wallace State Nursing Class of 2013 (starting in Spring 2012)

    HM-8404 replied to NikkiMac's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Did you decide to go into nursing? I just got my acceptance letter for this Fall and was wondering what the first semester class schedule is like. Is it 4 days a week, how do the instructors seem to...

  6. RT to RN Transition, not so easy!

    HM-8404 replied to ventgurl's topic in General Nursing

    A PA is not an MSN program since being an RN is not a

  7. BSN vs. RN Salary

    HM-8404 replied to busylizzy's topic in Alabama Nursing

    I mostly agree with your post. I don't feel I should have to sit in classes to become an LPN. If I could take and pass the NCLEX-LPN why should I be required to take unnecessary classes? I just spent...

  8. Virginia College RN program?

    HM-8404 replied to JOLIEDAME's topic in Alabama Nursing

    I talked to the people in Birmingham when I first got out of the military. Unless it has changed they require you to go through their LPN program first then go into their RN program. The cost was so...

  9. I am a pre- nursing, looking to get into Pediatric Nursing...

    HM-8404 replied to whatsarahsaidxox's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have worked in many hospitals, both civilian and military. One thing most of the new young girls want is to work with babies and kids. They show up all bright eyed and busy tailed and can't wait to...

  10. CEO compensation

    HM-8404 replied to dzadzey's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Looking at this solely as a business decision I understand the reason you were given. As much as we like to pat ourselves on the back any "worker bee" can be replaced by the end of business the same...

  11. Why can't you get Financial Aid with a Bachelors Degree?

    HM-8404 replied to thewoods4's topic in General Students

    The ADN program I am looking at lost their ability to offer Subsidized loans because so many of their students in the past defaulted on those loans that the Feds told the school they had to give up...

  12. Waiting list......

    HM-8404 replied to rystle's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Take both the Chem class and the Computer class then apply to both schools. It is always best to apply to multiple schools. Don't put all of your eggs in one school's basket. In my area the TEAS test...

  13. I'm interested in nursing but not sure...

    HM-8404 replied to AlexisNicole's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This may sound harsh, I'm sorry it is not meant to. If you want the "full college experience" get a BA. If you want to become a nurse go to nursing school. Nursing classes are not like other classes,...

  14. I was yelled at by my nurse yesterday

    HM-8404 replied to EllieBean13's topic in General Students

    I am not a nurse, a prospective nursing student. In my experience as a Navy Corpsman I have noticed one thing, women tend to yell at or berate another woman much quicker than men will do that to...

  15. Respiratory therapy vs. Nursing

    HM-8404 replied to futurernjap's topic in Alabama Nursing

    I have the same decision to make. After spending 8 years as a Navy Corpsman I have applied to the RT program at UAB, the RN program at UAB, Wallace State, and Bevill State. I got my acceptance email...

  16. UAB fall 2012 BSN

    HM-8404 replied to danceluver's topic in Alabama Nursing

    I turned in my application and now the waiting begins. I don't have much hope of getting in though. I was told by a faculty member that the avg. GPA for Fall 2011 admission was 3.46. I am closer to...
