Hi there, I had been interested in being a SANE since I worked at a doctor's office. We have very specific protocol when addressing a patient who may have been involved in a violent incident. As I was doing research on SANE organizations, it became ...

Hi there! Thanks for stopping by! To all of you seasoned entrepreneurs I have a question about experience and long term savings for a business. My background: I'm an ADN nursing student not even in clinicals yet (although they are steadily approachi...

I haven't worked there BUT I went there when I was 6th grade for a week and absolutely loved it. We dissected owl pellets, and my luckier friends decided pregnant pigs and sharks. We also re-enacted the underground railroad and the salem witch trials...

I heard about the one in Las Vegas too... I think it's called Hangover Heaven.

I don't know about anyone else in NY State, but right now our medical practice isn't participating in any plans offered on the Health Exchange. It sucks because so many of our patients are choosing to switch over. Nice to hear that so far it's yield...

I love Medscape too! Overall I don't think the categories are bad intrinsically; it is just how nurse managers use them. What I take away from the article is how certain events - specifically in medicine and health - can affect generations in a given...

Amazon. I've always had a great experience with them. Their kindle versions of books are kind of annoying to use, though. I use chegg to supplement what I can't get at Amazon. I hate their iPad app; it worked maybe 30% of the time.

I think most of what you're asking really requires you to investigate your choices a little deeply; that's not something that we can do for you. In my personal opinion you should finish your BA in history... you already put effort into studying this ...

I got an A for Anatomy & Physiology Lectute, a B for A&P Lab, and an A for Developmental Psych = 3.9 GPA. Close enough!

Well said!

I work at a major medical office where we just had training about the ACA. Most, if not all of what the OP wrote down is factual. Also, personally I think it benefits all of us nurses to be well informed about how the ACA affects our patients, regar...

I work part time at a doctors office and have financial aid. Next semester I'm applying for a scholarship. I also joined the NSNA (National Student Nurses Association) - they have different scholarships available based on need, merit, etc. I will be ...

I think this has been the highlight of the semester for me... hahaha A couple of my classmates and I were finishing our second round of dissections, which - if you haven't realized by now - is my favorite part of A&P! We had moved on from sheep b...

@ HouTx Wow what a great opportunity! I wonder is the dissection and study of human cadavers available to those who obtain their NP? I didn't think so since I never saw it mentioned. I suppose it truly under special circumstances. I hope that this ty...

I was little more relaxed with my studying; but what it comes down to is knowing two things: 1: What is your learning style? Do you find yourself understanding things better when it's visual or does the mental lightbulb go off when you hear your pro...

Hi Harrid, Passionflower pretty much hit the nail on the head. Right now I'm taking pre-requisites. Next semester I have clinicals and at that point, I will begin to understand if I have what it takes to be a nurse. It may take me a while to know if...

Great article! Thank you!

Wow thanks so much for the great advice! I truly appreciate the positive feedback and will definitely use it to navigate my career. I think my major issues right now are how to blend so many of my interests together with health and public speaking. F...

Thank you very much! I really needed that to fuel the fire. I may have a speaking gig lined in the next couple of weeks and next month Now I'm working on a website to get things moving! Thanks again for the inspiring words!!

I'm currently going through a similar situation and decide whether I'm going to work while in nursing school. I'm currently going through my pre-reqs but next semester starts nursing core courses and A&P II. I looked into getting the private loan...

I love stories like this one makes so excited for clinicals! Thank you!

About one month in, I got 106% on my first AP 1 exam. I don't get graded in development psych yet so we'll see!

Thanks genaluvya I responded back. Moya, I believe it's already been established that the institute has candidacy status but is not accredited. It only has national accreditation, which I believe you're referring to.

For me, I don't have too much of a normal life for several reasons: 1) I like to absorb what I study, not just read what I need to pass the tests to get through school. Regardless of the GPA and whatnot, I want to live, eat, and breathe what I learn...
