You are bathing a patient and you notice movement in hair. It may be an infestation of head lice. What is proper nursing action? I was thinking- Examine patients head and genitals for an idea of severity of infestation, if one is present. Notify Dr f...

So I have been on my unit for 18 months now. I am a new Nurse and this was my first job. I recently went from nights to afternoons and I am still not satisfied with where I am. I want to start applying for a different specialty in the same organiza...

Thank you. That helps, for sure. I am not satisfied on the unit I am on because I am not learning enough. It is a Surgical floor. I have no experience with medical patients, I have only been a part of 2 codes, performed CPR once, and the floor just...

Thanks so much for your input. Still a student so excuse my ignorance and thanks again :)

Hi everyone :) I am a nursing student at WCCCD and I too was worried about getting in the program at one point. And it's funny once I got in, I talked to so many people about their GPA and TEAS scores and believe it or not almost everything you hear ...

I still can't believe we are starting this coming week. I am sooooo stressed/nervous/excited over this I haven't been sleeping good at all. Good luck to everyone on here :) I feel like we have spent the year here going though the anxiety of applying ...

And also I was wrong HSC is offered in the summer...my bad

No problem :) If I were you I would take basic Pre-Algebra if you really think you need it. There isn't any Medical Math on the Teas and I can tell you the ATI Study Guide is almost exactly like the TEAS. And also to be honest with you the TEAS isn't...

Anyone have any shoe reccomendations? I am thinking I might buy some Nike Shox. I do think those shoes are hideous but I hear they are really comfy.

I called the Nursing Dept and they said the email wasn't sent yet and should be in our inbox within 3 weeks.

HSC 100 Medical Measurements and Math is actually a different course than ALH 105 Medical Math. HSC 100 is what is required. HSC isn't offered in the summer or online.

I am glad you are hearing good things about your instructors. I think we can buy the books now. The bookstore has a website you can shop off of. Anyone ever tried renting books? I have heard about people doing it but I am not really sure how the whol...

Sorry so late responding.... After you left things started moving very quickly. I was probably in the last 15-20 people called and I left like maybe 15 minutes after you. I didn't get my first choice schedule but after I got home I saw I got really g...

Yeah, that's what I thought. I was wishfully thinking I could have more time. What's your first 7.5 weeks look like? I am going to be CRAZY busy. Unfortunatley, the only co-req's I didn't take yet just happen to be Nutrition and Med Math. So I am tak...

All my classes are registered as well. Does anyone have any idea when tuition is due?

Ok so I was one of the last one's picked in the lottery and still got some of my top choices for the 1st and 2nd part of the semester. I am at Garden City for my Clinicals andWEstern campus for all classes. Hope you all got what you needed!!

I just also need to vent a little. I absolutley LOATHE when people assume "this is the hardest thing we will ever do." Don't get me wrong I am sure this will be very difficult but there are cancer survivors out there people and people that have faced...

Registration is this Wednesday! I am very excited :) If anyone wants to say hello, I am Italian (dark brown hair, brown eyes, tan skin), female, I'll probably be wearing workout clothes cause I'm hitting the gym before the day starts.

The test taking book is cheaper on Amazon than in the bookstore guys- Amazon.com: Test Success: Test-Taking Techniques for Beginning Nursing Students (9780803628182): Dr Patricia Nugent, Barbara Vitale: Books

Obviously, I am no doctor but I would bet money on the fact you will have the baby early. Your body has already started preparing itself for delivery (contractions). Keep us posted on here. I am so glad we got in!!

I am in :w00t:

Did any of you who got happy letters have less than 80 points?

My mail doesn't come until like 3:30-4!!! This wait has took 5 years off my life!!

Thank You!!! I am very happy for you Thanks so much for posting this and good luck in the program!!!

Do you mind telling us your gpa and teas scores so we can have an idea if we have a chance?
