Do you really think that any money I have (or anything else I have) is a result of luck? I worked really hard and sacrificed much so that I could be lucky. FWIW, I believe that to get "my money's worth" out of any insurance I have, that they cove...

This is where I have a problem. It would be nice if everyone were to contribute, but as it stands now in this country, those with families (read: only people with minor children) and lower incomes pay next to nothing in taxes (some even get more mon...

i believe llu is one of the best programs out there. they truly care about your success while not babying you at the same time. there is a way to work everything out if need be. i took the nclex in feb 2007 before graduation and passed with 75 que...

yams, I didn't receive an email but feel free to ask here. Is there something specific you wanted to know that I haven't addressed, yet? I am still a student there, only now I'm in the graduate program. Just let me know. Good luck! DeLySh

In school we were told that it was our preference to aspirate or not. But (here comes a dumb question I never thought to ask) what do you do if you aspirate and get blood? Do you readjust your needle or remove and use a new needle or remove and us...

Ok. This is something that has confused me for a while and I've never gotten an answer. Does the other laboring woman get charged for the tray she never even laid eyes on? And if her stay is covered by her insurance company, don't they get charged...

Wow!!

You are very welcome. I apologize for the length but I am really passionate about the program. As for the essay, just write from the heart. That's exactly what I did. They are trying to get a feel for who you are and if you can put a sentence tog...

Aleks, I definitely feel that it was worth it!!! I already had a BA in Biology so I was able to bypass much of the bachelor's requirements as I had already completed them. I started the program in January 2005 and finished in June of 2007. I took...

I spent roughly $55,000 at Loma Linda to complete the program. I started in January of 2005 and finished in June of 2007, took a class over one of the summers and took Spring of 2006 off for personal reasons. I already had a BA in Biology when I st...

Tazzi, I'm not exactly sure, but, it was explained to me that they are stimulants in some way. (I'm still confused.) Maybe someone else can answer that question more accurately. I never felt as though the religion was pushed on me at all. It was m...

I just graduated on June 10th, 2007. I didn't live on campus (as many of the students didn't) and I don't subscribe to the SDA belief system (I am Catholic) but it was a fabulous program. Yeah, it was expensive but I forged such strong bonds with m...

I just graduated from Loma Linda University. What would you like to know? DeLySh

You know, that makes a lot of sense but is no excuse. I just don't get a CEO that won't come out of his/her office to see what is going on in the business he/she is running. Makes no sense to me. How can he/she make any informed business decisions...

um ... ok I guess it's the teller's responsibility to make sure the bank's CEO knows, too? Why is the healthcare field sooooooooooooo different when it comes to business as compared to corporate America? DeLySh

My first question is how do you get started? Do you get a huge group of nurses together and pool $$ for the building and start up costs? Do you have to form a corporation and get a loan or ??? I'm totally serious because this CAN become a reality. ...

I know this will probably ruffle a few feathers but I wanted to jump in with a different point of view. From an employer's point of view, the more you call out, the more unreliable you become. The employer is running a business and, yes, they have ...

Do you have to memorize them? I just read the labels. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. DeLySh

Thank you both very much. You know, yesterday was the first time I actually felt useful as a student. I always feel as if I'm in the way of the real nurses. Yesterday was so different. It was a sad day but also a very rewarding experience. :) ...

I used to be worried about that too. Last year, my baby died shortly after birth. It was the first body I had ever seen and touched. Holding her and knowing that she was a person made something in me change. I'm doing my practical elective in th...

i'm really curious to know how this dollar amount for each family represents a percentage of their annual income. i don't doubt that the hagen family would love to be getting the same break at the same dollar amount but that would be a much more sig...

Do you think that Press Ganey does surveys on themselves? I would imagine not. What would happen if the front line staff went ahead and offered their own opinions via email or telephone calls directly to Press Ganey to let them know how effective t...

Does Washington require that all RN's have a bachelor's? I'm looking to be licensed in the state so I can travel and noticed that they kept saying "applicants shall have a bachelor's degree." Does that mean all RN's in Washington are baccalaureate ...

WOW!!! Thanks for the info. You guys really cleared things up for me. Take care, DeLySh

They don't??????? How come?
