  1. Advice for acing A&P?

    YouTube has some great videos especially on the lab portion. They will have videos of different models and some have more explanations than others. They also have great animated videos for different concepts for more visual learners.
  2. new grad RN, help finding a job

    Maybe a blood drive?
  3. How to get EKG training?

    There also may be a hospital based program. Like the other poster said vocational school and community colleges may have it. The community college where I am from has the class listed where the CPR courses are listed.
  4. moving with a pet?

    I have moved with cats. We moved them last because one has anxiety issues and the other feeds off his energy. We kept them in a bedroom with the door closed until we were ready. It was very stressful for them. They stayed under my bed or dresser and ...
  5. Mneumonics/Ideas For Learning Material

    There is actually some on Pinterest.
  6. Retaking a lab without the lecture

    It really depends on the institution. I've only been to one college where you can take the lab by itself. Speak to an advisor at the college your attending.
  7. how do you get L/D experience if you are required to have experience?

    That's how it is where I am looking at the open positions in my area. I would suggest looking at more rural hospital to possibly increase your chances.
  8. Not doing well in nursing school?

    I found a website/FB page called simplenursing.com they also have YouTube videos. You may have to subscribe but the reviews on the major improvements in test grades seemed promising. I would check it out.
  9. Should I take medical terminology (not req'd)?

    I would take it. I would reconsider the timing of it. Micro itself is a hard class. Maybe take it a different semester or during the summer. Maybe just teaching yourself at home with a book.
  10. Vanderbilt Nurse Residency 2014

    From information I got from an employee there this past summer majority of the jobs cut were either positions that were not filled in the first place or people that just needed to exit for whatever reason. I'm note sure about the 1000 that are going ...

    Don't forget they are expecting to lay off 1000 more by the end if the year to come in line with next year'a budget. They cut 300 during the summer.
  12. considering crna school after bsn

    There is one in middle Tennessee that requires you to travel to different hospitals for a certain length of time in different states as part if your rotation. If there was a crna school online I would run for the hills!
  13. Gpa when accepted?

    It is only relevant to the schools in your area. There are many factors schools can potentially look at. Some private institutions only care if you meet the minimum requirements while others want the highest GPA possible. Then as someone else stated ...
  14. What did/do you dissect in A&P lab?

    Sheep's brain, cow eye, and fetal pig. We also did a heart just can't remember what animal it came from.
  15. Cumberland University Spring 2014

    I actually talked to someone that not to long ago that chose to apply to Belmont instead of Cumberland for the same reason stated above. Cumberland does require you to have some clinicals on weekends. You defiently have to have a employer that is wil...
  16. Cumberland University Spring 2014

    That's good to know about MTSU's entrance exam. I read that Motlow's was once per year. I haven't done math since 2007. I was scared all of them were once per year. I'm trying to be picky on where I apply because like you said all the application fee...
  17. Cumberland University Spring 2014

    Good luck to you too! I'm applying to 4 different schools. Motlow and MTSU are my top choices. I have researched every school in the middle Tennessee area. I am more nervous about all the different entrance exams especially since you can only do one ...
  18. Cumberland University Spring 2014

    No I haven't applied there yet. I am taking micro this fall semester. It's the only class I need to start applying for nursing school. I am hoping to start next fall. Cumberland is my last last resort since it is so expensive. I would love to go ther...
  19. Cumberland University Spring 2014

    As long as you meet the minimum requirements for Cumberland you will automatically get in. Most the people I know that went there chose that school since they were unable to get into other BSN programs. I have heard even if you have a 2.9 you could a...
  20. A & P pre requisites - need advice

    I also used YouTube for class lectures as well since I'm more of a visual person.
  21. A & P pre requisites - need advice

    YouTube is really great for labs. I found many videos with the exact same or similar models with really detained explanations.
  22. Feel like dirt. Need advise, please help.

    Sorry to hear about your experience. It sounds like go me you just need to find a new setting. Don't give up on nursing just yet. Are there any other areas you are interested in?
  23. Union University Spring 2014

    For Cumberland you can only have 9 credit hours left of pre reqs when you start the spring program. The 9 credit hours cannot be a&p 1,2 or micro. There is a full list of pre reqs to be complete.
  24. The program where I am from has you do residencies in different states. You are also expected to be on call at some points during your residency. I would look more into the programs your interested in. I just don't see how it was be possible to be a ...
  25. Vanderbilt Nurse Residency 2014

    Vanderbilt is one of the lowest paying hospitals in the area. I believe the average pay for a new grad is about $21/hr. I've heard of another hospital paying as much as $22/hr but that's the highest I have ever heard for the middle Tennessee area.
