  1. Insomnia: What works for you?

    MilliePieRN replied to joanna73's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I have the same problem. Hope you get some good advice that will help both of us. Very frustrating, I

  2. Motlow fall 2013

    MilliePieRN replied to nursinghopeful1028's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    I have 5 weeks left in my second semester. It is exhausting, I'll not lie. The instructors are fantastic (all but one or two anyway). There is just so much to learn in such a short amount of time....

  3. Motlow fall 2013

    MilliePieRN replied to nursinghopeful1028's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    I had a 4.0 and made a 93.5 on the hesi (so my score was over 750). There were quite a few scores that were considerably less. I think 700 is on the lower end if I remember correctly. You have a...

  5. Motlow fall 2013

    MilliePieRN replied to nursinghopeful1028's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    I got in last year and just checked my email date. It was Apr. 5 :) You guys are getting close... Good luck. There are fewer applicants this year, so you may have a better chance.

  6. Can any body please explain this statement from the "Nursing Fundamentals" to me!

    MilliePieRN replied to gr8ideagirl's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The head of the person is at 12:00, the feet are at 6:00. If you have a sacral wound with tunneling, it would be described as "tunnel at 4 o'clock is 2cm deep" Does that make any

  7. I said nothing; family, friends or a job will stop me from being a nurse

    MilliePieRN replied to rportee0's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I would keep working and find a cna course that could be done in your time off (if that is where you want to start, I would say instead of starting with a cna class, you start with some of the classes...

  8. I said nothing; family, friends or a job will stop me from being a nurse

    MilliePieRN replied to rportee0's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I think you should sign up to take some pre-reqs before you dive in head first and quit your job. You will have to take several before you can apply to nursing school

  9. microbiology online?

    MilliePieRN replied to readyforachangenow's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    I think it is much harder online; but I worked my booty off and made an A--the hardest I've had to work for an A. I don't know about other programs; I am in Motlow's nursing program and they accept...

  10. microbiology online?

    MilliePieRN replied to readyforachangenow's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    I took Rodp Micro online. I went through Motlow, but you can go through MTSU or several other schools. It is the same credit as in class

  11. Unsupportive fiance'

    MilliePieRN replied to Kdrenee's topic in Texas Nursing

    I agree with your fiancé. The RN-BSN programs can be done online and the ADN gets you through quicker; the BSN after RN still gets you a

  12. How to prepare for nursing school??!

    MilliePieRN replied to mariaberry19's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Honestly, just rest, lol. Sleep late, spend some quality time with your family and friends. I can't think of anything that would really help you prepare (other than finding out the first few chapters...

  13. Motlow nursing program

    MilliePieRN replied to nursinghopeful1028's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    I got in with a 4.0 and 93.5 hesi score, there were lower scores. You can get in if you get a high hesi score, it is weighted more than gpa. It is really competitive, but totally doable. This year...

  14. About the HESI

    MilliePieRN replied to MilliePieRN's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    No, it's just end of first semester hesi (never heard an actual name/version). Was your end of first semester,

  15. About the HESI

    MilliePieRN posted a topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    I am finishing my first semester of nursing school and just took the HESI. Don't know how many different versions of the test there are, but mine had 55 questions. I did pretty good (1147/ Conversion...

    MilliePieRN posted a topic in Patient Medications

    There are different ways to read this and I'd like to know the correct way. Regarding a Full Term, 9lb, 1 day old. Here's what the drug guide says: (Neonates full term and/or >1 wk) Weights/dose...

  17. Bones Shows.....

    MilliePieRN replied to mizaf's topic in General Nursing

    Are you sure it's not called "Bodies"? They use real humans and I'd love to go and see it!

  18. Drug guide question

    MilliePieRN replied to MilliePieRN's topic in Patient Medications

    It's Davis's (13th edition). Gentamicin on page 132. I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks it doesn't make

    I have to do a concept map with 3 nursing diagnoses and I'm waiver on my third one. (I am a first year student , this is my 2nd clinical patient). My pt is a double lower leg amputee, post op 3 weeks....

  20. Help with priority..

    MilliePieRN replied to MilliePieRN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thanks everybody. I went with Risk for infection. I did have thorough assessment data and was not just pulling dx out of a hat based on theoretical information. I just didn't know how much at risk for...

  22. Do you guys have to do return demonstrations?

    MilliePieRN posted a topic in General Students

    I don't see it mentioned here. I just finished my first (vital signs) and it was nerve-wracking! Just curious if this is how all nursing schools operate. It's not even graded, just pass/fail,...

  23. Doctor tells patients he will quit if President Obama is re-elected

    MilliePieRN replied to chicarn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    My personal doctor talks about this to all his patients. He makes it very clear he cannot stay in business at the rate it's going. He is very anti-Obama and uses a portion of every office visit for...

  24. All this class time is having an effect...

    MilliePieRN posted a topic in General Students

    Just realized today when I got home from the grocery store that I'm thinking "like a nurse". I had a bag of Blue Bell ice cream sandwiches that have been out too long.. Getting all melty, had to make...

  25. Weight gain?

    MilliePieRN replied to hawksrn2014's topic in General Students

    I am only in my 3rd week and I can totally see how one could gain a lot of weight. All I do is sit and read and go to school, I've never sat still so much in my life (not that I was very active...
