J3, A&P is easier. Some of the A&P and Patho will overlap. That is a good thing. I have had four week classes but not in Science. Can you not do them both in eight weeks? You can practice some study on www.quizlet.com and review youtube video...

Siren, the course that was hardest for me was College Algebra. I could do Pharmacology math to perfection but not Algebra. I actually had to find a college that didn't require Algebra for an ADN. I found Lamar State College in Port Arthur, Texas. The...

Tinkk, not sure what state you are in? Forget that 4 year school! LPN and ADN are faster and you can always go back to school after you are employed in nursing. You won't need those science classes x for A&P and micro. Take micro and A&P late...

Lost, I think all healthcare facilities have great expectations of a thourough orientation. In the rural setting tho a two week or six week time frame or whatever is set for orientation. Problem is some times we are empty and the orientee might not s...

Melissa, sorry. I should have addressed this reply to Mannoim. Looks like you answered the question on 33.

Valerie, keep us posted please. I have two co-workers that want to enter the program. Lucky ladies get my books for free. Russell

Melissa, I think we got an email saying Home Health was just fine. Still had to have an RN preceptor tho. I searched and I must have deleted that email. We have to be off the clock while doing clinicals. I don't think they would find out if you weren...

Nurse.Rendo, I thought I learned a few things. Thought the class was worth the time. I didn't like having to find a BSN. I thought we should have video'd with another person and sent that in but I passed. [email protected]

Tiffm, Yes you can email me at [email protected]. Ask away. Russell Roach

vma71, I had problems finding this bundle to purchase. Don't recommend renting it as you may not have all the access. It is available at Lamar St bookstore. Yes the bundle is expensive! I start on Monday also. Not sure what else to sugges...

You want to tell us the due date or how many weeks pregnant she is? GBS status? 1busymaniam

MrsCuoco, I have been the Lvn x 20 years. Iv starts get easier with frequency. The hardest part for me was making sure I had all my necessary supplies at the bedside. It sucks when you get the cannula in the vein and you can't cap it of...

Good morning, I reviewed my Word last night and sent a couple of emails. If you got the book you can do maybe the first couple of concepts review or review concepts. You will know it when you see it. If you know how to make powerp...

bozmon, I don't remember when the exams were in the computer class. I was speaking of the Assessment class and yes the first three exams were on Thursday but the final was on Wednesday. If someone wasn't paying attention then they could m...

txnurse728, You have to have the workbook. I think it is Word, not sure. The other book is needed also. I didn't use the cd as I rented and rentals generally don't come with cd but that was not an issue. If you know apa format then y...

Hi Amber, Nice to hear from you. I can't tell you about OC but I am sure the waiting list is still there. I knew I couldn't do OC as I simply must work frequently. So I tried Angelo State but they suspended the program before I could en...

dllammons, Not to worry about the clinicals as it is not even discussed for many months out. Hopefully you have some time off coming? 144 hrs clinicals in five weeks twice. That comes out like this 24, 36, 24, 36, 24. You can't be o...

jsplemons, Good morning. I am about a final away from passing Rnsg 1300, Health Assessment. I didn't know of Lamar so I was prepping for Angelo State. A wasted year studing for those NLN tests. But in that year I did make an A in Path...

jsplemons, I am [email protected]. I commented on this on my cohort discussion board and nobody is responding. None of the locals have posted a newspaper clipping or email alert or internal memo from Lamar. I started Sept 17 and...

mrswilburn, Not sure you meant to respond to me. I am already in the program. I live in Odessa. I might can help you tho. [email protected] Russell Roach

bozman, Good morning to you. I don't remember what the letter said but it was clear I was acccepted. The computer class was very hard for me. Our hospital IT lady had to help me some as I am not a computer person. My suggestion is to start...

MissRN7, Pharmacy dictates pump rate. MD's usually don't notice cause that is what PharmD is for. The rate can be dosed r/t Creatinine clearance. If Cr/cl is a problem then PharmD will substitute Bactrim/Ds for Levaquin. There are exce...

Hello CrystRN, You should not be taking vent patient at this stage of your career without a proper orientation. Ok, you can do this! People ask me how I can take care of patients that can't talk or are sedated. That is easier tha...

Hi newnurse, Not to worry. You will be fine soon. I am in the middle of nowhere tho I have worked in a nine and thirteen story building. Two helicopters also. You have TPN and Picc lines and ICU so you are not such a small hospita...
