    Medical Assistant at Kaiser?

    Kuriin replied to beckyboo80's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Does Kaiser even have medical assistants? On our floors on Geary, San Francisco, we have Patient Care Techs. Or are PCTs the same as MAs? Granted, my rotation is at a hospital, so Kaiser could have...

    Is your undergrad program considered when looking at GPA?

    Kuriin replied to PCTerrific's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Average GPA for the top two schools (UPenn and UCSF) are 3.5-3.6. I'm not sure where you're getting the 3.8 from,

    $800 phlebotomy course worth it before I start BSN program?

    Kuriin replied to inspiredbynavy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Get it for the money while in school. But, it's out of your scope as a nursing student until you learn how to draw blood, so you won't be able to use that

    Sweating in my scrubs... yuck

    Kuriin replied to RunninNurse's topic in General Students

    Oh wow, I guess I just found that bizarre. Didn't think it was an optional thing. You guys are required to get malpractice insurance though, right? Or is that another thing we have to pay that people...

    Army medic and college grad. Pa or np? Need help!

    Kuriin replied to fergusonm05's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Depending on the office you work, or where you work, the NP and PA will be the exact same. But, some places not so much since you have to have your charts signed off by a physician for PA. Again, some...

    Kuriin replied to Kuriin's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    I did well on it. Got a 91.5% on it. I think it was like a 950 or so. I won't lie, it was a very difficult test and I thought I found myself guessing most of the time,

    Kuriin replied to kobefan24's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I actually smoked weed about 4 days before my drug test was done and it came back negative. I swear, I think it's based on how much water you drink, IMHO. I drank several GALLONS of water to flush my...

    Dance team during nursing school?

    Kuriin replied to student96's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Dance doesn't take nearly as much time as people think if all you're doing is some classes here and there. I was a dance major (I have my BFA from Ohio State) and didn't think it was much of a problem...

    Where are there TB tests in Indianapolis?

    Kuriin replied to GnikKing3's topic in General Students

    Holy crap, I can't believe that. I remember when I was on tx for TB, I had to order the medication from Canada because of the national shortage of Isoniazid. Looks like the supplies are improving....

    Kuriin replied to SeattleNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So...are you trying to be a nurse, or something? Physics and calculus isn't required for nursing. It almost sounds like you're going the pre-med route. Statistics, chemistry, anatomy, physiology,...
