  1. Public (ADN or BSN) schools in Cleveland area....

    ....my DH and I are most likely moving to Cleveland a year from now for his job, and I was planning on finishing my BSN in the fall of '07, wherever his work lands us....but Cleveland it looks like. I knew the area well a decade ago bc I got my BA f...
  2. Public (ADN or BSN) schools in Cleveland area....

    Anyone else's input on Cleveland schools....preferably BSN, but I'd consider ADN.... definately prefer public over private... I've started at a BSN in Illinois, only have a semester left, but am pregnant, high risk, and decided to take off a year and...
  3. West Suburban College of Nursing

    I just wanted to reiterate that WSCN is an absolutely horrible school to attend, which is sad as it is a BSN and one would think to expect more out of a BSN program. Less than 75% of everyone who begins an academic year graduates when they should, i...
  4. Denver public transport.....

    ....just wondering if you could live in downtown Denver and get to/from Colorado health sciences (or wherever) via bus, light rail, etc.....currently live in Chicago where public transportation is awesome, and would rather not bring a second car. (W...
  5. Has anyone heard of this school?

    I haven't- but I'd put the name of the school in the title- would attract more attention to those who HAVE been there who may otherwise skip over it!
  6. West Suburban College of Nursing

    ..... And to make matters worse, West Sub is now a Res hospital- so ALL the clinical sites ahve to be at Res hospitals. (I THINK Children's may still be used, though, as people sat on their you know whats at West Sub, the main Res, St. Marys/E's.......
  7. West Suburban College of Nursing

    I did an externship with a bunch of Loyola students this summer, and they all seemed to not have many bad things to say about it. They were of the normal-tract BSN program, though, not the accelerated. Still totally go to the open house- but defi...
  8. West Suburban College of Nursing

    I would stay far, far, far away. 7 out of 20 of the graduating class this past Dec. did not pass the NCLEX- and a lot the staff are very, very, very 2-faced. There have been a lot of administrative changes in the past year- firing an admissions cou...
  9. Okay-short of long- a former PCT job I had until Nov, I missed 2 shifts, mostly my fault, but in part due to a miscommunication breakdown btwn the charge nurse and myself in the scheduling. I really want to get a job as a PCT for the summer on an EM...
  10. Being let go from a PCT job.....how to handle duirng interview....

    I called her on Tuesday....and don't want to look like a bother! I think I will call her tomorrow morning though....I know i shouldn't be worried bc a lot of people get fired and still get hired- I just want to work here soo much.
  11. Pat Brenner's nursing modeling theory-

    thank y'all so much~ my dumb teachers have it as "brenner"- ugh. they really are nightmarish (my 2 teachers from this class). I appreciate it IMMENSELY~
  12. Pat Brenner's nursing modeling theory-

    anybody know it? (The student forum isn't working). My leadership and management final is tomorrow, and we need to know her theory, the parts of the model, and the clinical ladders, etc....I cannot find it in my notes ANYWHERE, and looking online h...

  14. Prioritizing patients....

    Random question- my med surg instructor told us to come to clinical on Tuesday "telling me how you would prioritize 4 patients," without giving us scenarios on a pt in pain, one who's EKG is abnormal, etc. How on earth do I tell her how I would prio...

  16. West Suburban College of Nursing

    No prob....people at our school who have lost thier licenses due to seizures from either diabetes or seizure disorders have not been accomodated to clinical sites that are best convenient for them to be at.....
  17. West Suburban College of Nursing

    If the student has a disability rendering them unable to drive and have the license revoked because of that, it does fall under the ADA, and that student should be protected, which, unfortunately,:angryfire is the case here.
  18. West Suburban College of Nursing

    PM me if you want info about the school-
  19. West Suburban College of Nursing

    OMG, I was about to write an extremely similar note to this one...about the turnover in faculty, the graduating passing rate is low, the passing the NCLEX rate is low (so I hear....that the school is under some sort of surveillance due to low NCLEX r...
  20. Need Advice! school with wife, I was accepted she wasn't

    Is she really upset that you got in and she didnt...does she have some sort of inferiorty complex about it? That is the only reason I can see why someone would want to hold another back! Encourage her along the way, but don't sell yourself short. ...
  21. Seniors in the House

    Graduating May 6....cannot WAIT for school to start! Finished an externship last week, and i'm SOO bored. Took 2 weeks off before starting back on my floor as a tech, and I swear would be getting more stuff done than I am bc I'm not busy! (I'm in ...
  22. how many hours do you work per week?

    I'm only scheduled to work every other Sunday 12 hr shifts....but will more than likely pick up another 8 hrs here or there...so prob. 20 hr/payperiod. Fiance and I live very frugally- and he's taking one for the team by not making me feel as if I h...
  23. NCCU nursing student looking for an summer Externship in Chicago

    I'm doing Northwestern's program now- it ends on Friday- and a LOT of folks in my extern "class" are in L&D in some way shape and form....I'd start looking on N'Western's web site in March... http://www.northwestern.edu ...and get more info from ...
  24. I cannot STAND the hospitals that my school uses for the preceptorship.... Resurrection Health care here in IL bought the hospital my school is affiliated with, so basically, everything is switching over to Res hospitals....and I cannot STAND them. ...
  25. Preceptorship-anyone dislike hospitals they use?

    TY....why I wanted feedback before I sent it! -when we were reading charts, they'd get ornery and not let us read it- (in my med surg clinical), and never trusted us to take care of their patient. "Well, we're going to do it anyway, so it is no use...
