Hey guys! Good to see the excitement for starting the nursing program. I remember it well. I am going into level III this semester, but I had HealthSouth days for Level I. It is definitely smaller than a hospital because it's a rehab facility, so you...

I used the Pathophysiology Made Incredibly Easy book, which explains things in a very easy to understand way. This kind of book will help you a lot when you start doing care plans.

The instructor I have for Nursing 1 is moving up to teaching Nursing 4 in the Spring so I can't recommend her. We're also not supposed to mention specific names on this forum. The administration has changed how registration works for Nursing 2-4 in t...

Yes and yes.

Hi, I'm in the days program. My schedule for Nursing I has been: Monday: 1-3 pm (clinical lab at HEC) Tuesday: 6am-3pm (clinical) Wednesday: 6am-3 pm (clinical) Thursday: 8-11 am (theory at HEC) They might completely change it for Spring 2014, but th...

I had problems earlier, too, so I called them - they were aware of it at the time (it was a little bit before 5 p.m.). It cleared up about 10 minutes later. But for awhile there I was sweating it.

I think we just turn in the folders individually, when papers/projects are due ... not along with the big portfolio. I wish I had elbow restraints to try out on my cat ...

There is a page for ATI testing in the student handbook, near the end, that has a signature line. Maybe that is the one we really need?

The one I downloaded from ANGEL earlier this week says "2012-2013" on the cover page. What exactly is the "lab/theory class modules" if they are different than the units included in the syllabus? Or is the "syllabus" just the introductory material an...

It was still the 2012-2013 version, so maybe they will be uploading the new 2013-2014 handbook. :)

I think logos are fine - the shoes just can't have a lot of color on them. Mrs. Burgess said a minimal amount of color (around the edge of a logo, for example) is OK; they know it's hard to find all-white shoes. She didn't say anything about the shoe...

I would imagine your clinical instructor will go over everything you need to know on Monday, since the syllabus review wasn't mandatory. As for the folders, Mrs. Burgess (who did the workshops on Wednesday) specially mentioned how we would submit va...

For days students, Monday's class is from 1-3 p.m. The handbook says we need to have five different colors of folders for various documents. I was able to find green/red/blue/yellow easily, but I cannot for the life of me find any store that carries ...

Certified Profile rejected the ATI score page I uploaded, so that might not work at this point.

We don't have to wear uniforms until the first day of classes. I was at the med math review this morning and most people were in street clothes.

Does anyone have their class listed on ANGEL yet? I don't remember if classes post before the first day or not.

You go to the My Products page. Make sure the Practice Assessments tab is selected. Then you enter the ID - once that is submitted a field for Password will display. Enter the password and you're off! It's long - 195 questions. But it's all about how...

I've already taken the TEAS test and they didn't give us any signature forms. So I don't know where we're supposed to be getting that. I got a form each time I had my TB skin tests read. It basically just lists the dates (when you got injected, when ...

On my first set of MMR titers I was positive for mumps and rubella, and equivocal for measles. I had the measles titer run a second time, and that time it was positive. I jumped for joy. White shoes - Peltz has at least 4-5 styles of all-white New B...

Pinellas County Health Department was the cheapest I found (my insurance doesn't cover immunizations for adults).

Sorry, didn't see this until now. I printed out the first two links. The third link appears to be the large PDFs broken down into smaller files, by unit. Maybe they provide those so you can print a little bit at a time, as the information is cover...

I know. But those people only believe that until they or someone they love is the one without healthcare who is critically ill. Then they change their tunes. It's a defect of not being able to put themselves in other people's shoes and realize, "Ther...

My total online included tax, so I'll see if I can get them to give me a refund of that when I pick up my syllabi tomorrow in the store. I did everything online so there was no way to exclude sales tax.

In the past, the bookstore has sold copies of the syllabus. The clerk told me they are not allowed to do that this year. So if a student wants a printed copy they have to print it themselves. I'd love it if the school provided one for each student, b...

I was a journalist for 10 years earlier in my work life, and that news article that was quoted is basically just a press release from the company. If anyone was lacking critical thinking skills it was the journalist who has their byline on the art...
