  1. does therapeutic touch belong in grad programs?

    traumahawk99 replied to traumahawk99's topic in Post Graduate Students

    it's not a major part of any nursing curriculum, since it's mere fluff. how could it be more than a quiz or so? that it's part of the curriculum at all is the issue, and that faculty supports it as...

  2. does therapeutic touch belong in grad programs?

    traumahawk99 replied to traumahawk99's topic in Post Graduate Students

    yes, there are women with doctorates who run around dressed like the grandmother witch on the television show "bewitched", who truly do assert that they're working miracles by realigning forces (none...

  3. Kaplan, yay or nay?!?!

    traumahawk99 replied to GrnHonu99's topic in First Year After Licensure

    i woudn't spend a cent on kaplan's review. the testable material on is so broad that no quickie review course is going to make that much of a difference, other than perhaps psychological. i'd get...

  4. Anyone not feel freaked after nclex?

    traumahawk99 replied to KristiePDX's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    sure. i knew i passed when it shut off at 75. mosby's cat had me feeling like i couldn't fail. when it shuts off at 75, you've either passed (far more likely), or you were so clueless that you...

  5. WOW I did it :)

    traumahawk99 replied to danigirl58's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    i've pretty well decided to go to new york city for a couple of years. i've lived in florida for forever, and the news on hurricanes seems way overblown (pun intended). i don't worry about them at...

  6. does therapeutic touch belong in grad programs?

    traumahawk99 replied to traumahawk99's topic in Post Graduate Students

    actually, that is a pleasant surprise. i met a phd who is huge on therapeutic touch at a large public university in florida. and many of the faculty support her and believe she has powers. it's...

  10. A question about NCLEX result

    traumahawk99 replied to exairex's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    i found that i passed in minn befor pearson could sell me the info for $8. it's not the 8 bucks that gripes me on this. it's the strongarm tactics of pearson to extract a bit of extra money from...

    traumahawk99 replied to INFJ's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  13. Accepted Columbia University's ETP student-meet-n-greet

    traumahawk99 replied to nycacoustic's topic in Post Graduate Students

    if it fits your value curve, by all means, you should do it. consider me to be cheap in this regard. 16k for both paramedic and rn licenses seemed about right to me :), and excelsior college would...

  14. Medic looking to be a nurse.

    traumahawk99 replied to Sparticus391's topic in General Nursing

    you may want to consider a distance learning program, like excelsior college. i both a medic and an rn, and i went through excelsior. it's not for the faint of heart or for people who need...

  16. Any Excelsior College students from Missouri?

    traumahawk99 replied to Medic74's topic in Online Distance Learning

    it's the same situation with florida. sitting in another state qualifies you for endorsement. don't believe the posts that imply you can't get a license in a state like florida or georgia. having a...

    traumahawk99 replied to tlynsmith's topic in Online Distance Learning

    best of luck at the all-you-can-eat cpne buffet! in the meantime, i would find some people to run mock pcs's. this is essential to passing the cpne, and i think a lot of folks overlook it. practice...

  18. Leaving the Profession!

    traumahawk99 replied to chrispicritah's topic in General Nursing

    you don't have to do one thing for your whole life. i'm not planning on making nursing my career for more than a few years. and i do see why folks burn out. it's not an easy

  19. Pearson is down!

    heh. two days after my test, i actually get my license #, as well as get put on nursys. and it's only $105 for minnesota. less the 8 bucks you guys had to pay, that comes to only $97.00. not bad...

  20. Suzanne's Study Guide for NCLEX?

    traumahawk99 replied to swee2000's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    the best bargain in preparing for the nclex. suzanne isn't making money on it, so you know her advice has to be unbaised. i've seen so much testimony for it that i have concluded that her plan...

  21. Cost of Excelsior?

    traumahawk99 replied to summerdaze's topic in Online Distance Learning

    deej, where did you get those rates? the national average for 2006 is 83.8, per ncsbn.org. seems to have dropped a bit. these stats show what a wonderful job california is doing educating nurses....

  24. Hurst Review

    traumahawk99 replied to LouisianaNurse2006's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    i've never heard of anyone using the hurst review. honestly, people fail or pass no matter what they do. there is no 100% certainty. it's a matter of taking a course that makes you comfortable. i...

    traumahawk99 replied to nycacoustic's topic in Post Graduate Students

    there's certainly an element of truth to this. i don't want to rain on anyone's parade. if it was a goal to get into columbia, and you made it, by all means, congratulations! i'm sure columbia...
