Yes, of course LPNs are a thing! I work w/ some amazing LPNs in my hospital! Why would any facility not utilize its LPNs to the fullest scope of their practice. That's crazy. Very few things LPNs in my hospital cannot do. They cannot initially a...

Isn't a psychiatric hospital a mental hospital? It's a synonym. It's a hospital for a person's mental health.

Why on earth would someone even pose this question and present himself or herself as a nurse? That doesn't even make sense. A bit judgy, perhaps? Maybe the person is a med. tech. & is not a nurse? Would that make a difference? BTW, I replied...

Yes! That is exactly what our new policy states. It's sometimes difficult to open the packages w/ pills!

NURS 1400 is a nine hour class. That nine hour class is like taking double full-full time non-nursing college classes.

They are strict w/ that. Unless you have a disability (like one lady had ADHD and maybe something else, IDK) you won't be able to record. Apparently, some x amount of years ago, lecture recording was allowed, but someone took advantage of it (I'm n...

No, which is horrible! I asked about that last semester (toward the end) if they would reconsider allowing recording devices. One instructor said 'that might be a possibility in the future'. Every single RN whom I've asked what they thought the nu...

Yes, the new nursing facilities at Smyrna are top notch, for sure! We meet at Moore Co. so that everyone is together during certain lectures. They talked about somewhat less 'meetings' at the main campus, but it wasn't set in stone, so it MAY be sl...

There is no 'part time' nursing program at Motlow. Students must make nursing school their top priority. Any work for pay is scheduled around the nursing program.

You're welcome! I'm sorry for all the typos. I was on my phone...which I usually do post from my phone.

I just wanted to say, 'Congratulations' to everyone who was accepted! Enjoy your summer & be prepared to work extremely hard! Good luck!

Someone asked about orientation, and Farmer mentioned paying about $100 for a background check. Ours was somewhat less, $30 something. I think it was mentioned at our orientation that they contracted out w/ a different company for the background che...

My class has some people who work. I don't know how they've done done it. Some are CNAs and their employers have let them work like one weekend a month or something lie that to keep them on the rotation so they wouldn't lose their jobs. Those who ...

I'm pretty sure for 1st semester, my class went twice a week, until clinicals started. I can't recall our exact time, but I'm thinking 8:30 (I know thats the correct start time.) until 2:30 or 3:00? We did have an hour for lunch. Then, we only wen...

Whoops! I left off 'before me'! Sorry!

Do you know their GPA and HESI scores?

I had a 90.4 HESI & a 3.81 (or a 3.855???) GPA.

I messaged you.

I got mine on the 2nd day emails went out last year. I'm not sure if they go by name or not, but I know that my scores were higher than some of the scores of the people who received their email. Don't panic!

My 'letter' was included (or maybe it was attached) to the emai.

I have the free Davis Drug Book app. It's certainly not comprehensive, but you can get a preview of the comprehensive app. & how it's organized. I will probably buy the app., too.

Again, I was told by the interim DON that she HOPED to have the emails out by the end of the first week of April. I was told this by her in mid-Jan.

I was told that they HOPED to have emails out by the en of the first week of April. I was told that in early Jan. not sure if that will happen. I found out on the 20th last year. The people the year prior found out much sooner than that. I know ...

I know this wasn't directed to me, but I have all hard books. I can't imagine studying off an electronic device. Everyone in my clinical group had his or her own Drug Book, (which is one of the required books) for clinicals. We kept our book w/ ou...
