    ZombieRain replied to t_23:)'s topic in School, College Programs

    Hectic. Paperwork on paperwork. Outlines for 3 out of 5 classes for the trimester and what testing is going to be like. Hope we had a nice Monday, first A&P test on Wednesday, first Med-Math on...

  2. Religious Dilemma?

    ZombieRain replied to Avid reader's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Ehhhhh our job is enhanced so much more when we engage emotionally with patients, but your fallback for an incorrect worldview is disdain and sarcasm. It all just boils down to I should empathize with...

  3. Nursing is not for you if you don't have a burning passion for it?

    ZombieRain replied to .CJ.'s topic in General Students

    Her assertion you are not enthusiastic enough and always playing catch up is worth thinking about. Was there any lack of initiative on your part, a disinterest in that particular rotation, or is the...

  4. Religious Dilemma?

    ZombieRain replied to Avid reader's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Getting into LPN school in a few days, so I have no real dog in the healthcare side of 'isms, but I wonder where the lines for me will be. Can I go ahead and prepare my statement? I am...

  6. Why are nursing prerequisites not the same

    ZombieRain replied to WCSU1987's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  7. Anyone waiting on acceptance letter from tcat dickson nursing program for May 2017

    ZombieRain replied to t_23:)'s topic in School, College Programs

    I want to assume orientation was mandatory, but I don't know for sure. I'm getting the vibe the background check, drug screen and physical are for clinicals rather than TCAT itself. Tuition felt like...

    Orientation yesterday. Anybody get a call? 40 people in the room, 35 for Practical Nursing, and the Power Point was geared towards the 5 people in other programs. Student services women kept reminding...

  9. AHA BLS Provider vs. AHA BLS for Healthcare Providers?

    ZombieRain replied to NurseOfTheLittlePeople's topic in General Nursing

    Quoting for truth. I've been BLS certified through the Red Cross for years, just recently re-certified, but the school I've applied to requires AHA. I've been going through the online portion of their...

  10. Do you get Study Guides before midterms and finals ? my teacher doesnt believe in that 😫

    ZombieRain replied to mariawong's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've read through the thread, but I'm confused... in the context of this conversation, what is a study guide? It sounds the question being asked is how much of exams, how many questions from exams,...

  11. Anyone waiting on acceptance letter from tcat dickson nursing program for May 2017

    ZombieRain replied to t_23:)'s topic in School, College Programs

    That's kind of why I was asking. By orientation there's the background check ($40), physical with all immunizations ($70 for the physical, gonna be $400 for my immunizations), and be prepared for the...

    Is this the Bryant and Stratton ADN from your other thread? Their Licensed Practical Nursing program's tuition is $28,415. I've been accepted into Tennessee College of Applied Technology's LPN...

  14. Question about applying for nursing school

    ZombieRain replied to littleboyboo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Each nursing school is going to spell out its own admissions policies, so definitely check the websites of the schools you plan on applying to. Many follow a formula of requiring classes A, B, and C...

  15. Anyone else study prior to LPN program? If so which study books do you recommend?

    ZombieRain replied to Mysilver1's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I'm reviewing math, anatomy, and physiology, but it's a review of classes I've taken before, a review of things I'm already familiar with. Studying ahead on anything? Nope. If I start looking at all...

  16. Night shift and mandatory meetings

    ZombieRain replied to aprilrazz's topic in General Nursing

    It's certainly not just the world of nursing. Current job, overnight check cashing, 2130 to 0800, and they want their meetings at 1430 and 1830 and whatever other time is most convenient to the...

  17. Classmate Spilled Coffee On My Laptop - Broken

    ZombieRain replied to waterdrifter's topic in General Students

    Small claims court will give you a judgement, but the court does not care about collections. You'd use the judgement to start a wage garnishment or checking account levy. You cannot collect off...

    ZombieRain replied to t_23:)'s topic in School, College Programs

    I don't like the whole "acceptance letters will be mailed the WEEK OF March 20th." What is that? Just send them out on Monday and say they'll be sent out on Monday. I'm

  20. Drug testing in Nursing Programs? (Anoka Ramsey CC)

    ZombieRain replied to sillycracker456's topic in General Students

    My school tests, though I'm not sure if it's during the physical prior to class start or shortly before clinical starts. The explanation is the school doesn't care, but if the HR policy of the...

  21. Putting off A&P1 due to professor options?

    ZombieRain replied to hellohannah's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You took A&P 1 but failed for a variety of reasons, and are now looking for a class with good professor reviews so you can get a good grade. I'm reading more into that than I probably should. Wait...

    ZombieRain replied to Rayrayma's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    White LPN and a black CNA are walking a white, female patient 80+ years old to her room. Patient asks who is going to help her into bed. LPN tells her the CNA will. Patient says 'Oh, the monkey?...

  24. Do I take my first job offer?? HELP

    ZombieRain replied to RNjackie23's topic in General Nursing

    A haphazard Google search on cost of living hints Charlotte is somewhere between 40% and 50% less expensive than New York, and you're talking about 50% less in starting pay. So whatever standard of...
