Some of the best nurses I know, passed with C's. In the long run great grades aren't going to make you a good nurse.

Most of the community colleges in the bay area do not have wait lists. But that doesnt mean you will get in on your first try. I'm in my second yeard at ECV in san jose and we had 400 applications and only 80 got in for my class. The frist year nu...

I haven't had much problems with male or female patients. The only time I had about being a male was in L&D when a few patients didn't want to have a male student nurse which was understandable.

We have 15 males in my class of 60 students. When I started my rn program last year we had about 18, we lost a few during our time in OB.

I did a 6 week externship last summer. It was a great experience working in the ED as a nurse. I pretty much did everything a RN does except give the push meds. My preceptor let me take over her patient load and would step in if I asked for help. ...

I start my second year and last year of my ADN program tomorrow.

I'm going to work in the ED when I finish in May. I precepted in the ED for a month and a half this summer.

6-3 twice a week. My ADN program does the same amount of hours the BSN programs do expect that we do the hours in two years and they do it over three years.

When I took Anatomy we dissected cadavers. It was interesting to say the least.

Im 21 right now. I will be 22 when I finish my ADN RN program in may 06

My school allows you to take the test to be a CNA after your first semster in NS. After the frist year you can take the LPN test to get your license.

I start my 6 week externship in the ED on July 11th. I can't wait to jump into it. :)

It took me a year and a half. So 3 semsters to finish my nursing preq and my general ED. I've gotten though half of my RN program at my JC. Two more semsters and I am finished. I cant wait.

Step down is between ICU's and regular floors like med/surg. It is like a transitional step for those patients.

Were all treated the same in my RN program. I've noticed that some of our clinical teachers have a fav. students that get away with a little bit more, but I guess thats about it.

I have to give meds to a 5 month old boy though a NG tube and i was just wondering how many mL's do i have to flush it with. I've done this before in med/surg but never on someone so young and small 4.8 kg. I know the child could get about 480 mls ...

We learned the fundamentals of nursing. We weren't required to be checked off on all of these skills in the lab. They just expected us to know them and be ready to do some. We had to be checked off in the lab about ROM exercises Transferring/Posit...
