  1. Finding a radial pulse when you have carpal tunnel

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to gwen0410's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I would call the testing place, anonymously, and ask what accommodations could be made and what you would need to do to qualify. Good

  2. CNA License

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to ren09's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    To verify whether an individual is a certified nurse aide in Michigan contact the Michigan Nurse Aide Registry at 800-748-0252 or via the Prometric website at...

  3. I was accepted to Brandman, but...

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to LilRNonthePrairie's topic in Post Graduate Students

    In order to be approved as an educational program in Minnesota, all instructors must be licensed in Minnesota. It's a requirement for Minnesota schools. If you go to a school in another state, the...

  4. Professors fail everyone?

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to PerkyNurse55's topic in General Students

    You are four percentage points from passing? On my school's grading scale, that's half the distance between two grades. If a 92% is the lowest A and 85% is the lowest B, would you ever try to...

  5. Textbooks for first semester of MANE program

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to virgo7598's topic in General Nursing

    Do not rent! You will use that bundle for all three semesters of the ASN program. I thought they would also be used for the BSN program, but someone else on here said that wasn't the case. Either...

  6. I know "it's not a race", but...

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to RubyRabbit's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You might not need to "waste" a semester if you take it slow. I'm in nursing school now (ADN). Each semester is 11-12 credits of nursing classes and 3-4 credits of non-nursing (psychology, sociology,...

  7. Rasmussen, Herzing, or Century?

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to Nurse Mars's topic in General Nursing

    I would retake the TEAS. If you get a 75 on the TEAS, you have a good shot of getting in to Century. The cost difference is HUGE between Century and a for-profit like Herzing or Rasmussen. I pay...

  8. Medical terms

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to naintraining's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Medical terminology is much like learning a new language. You already use roots, suffixes and prefixes, but in "regular" English so you probably don't even think about it or realize it. That "not...

  9. Agency offer New Grad position if I pay $4000

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to ilbe's topic in Australia, New Zealand

    I would not be at all surprised if you get canned from this so-called job. I know you are desperate, but at least try to google the name of this company and contact the BBB to see if there has been...

  10. Assessments

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to organichombre's topic in General Students

    The ADN program I attend focuses almost exclusively on assessments -- mind, body, spirit -- in the first semester. I don't even know basic CNA tasks

  11. Pantoprazole suspension

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to sarahc331's topic in Patient Medications

    Good point! That's a great question. I found this: https://www.pharmqd.com/forum/topic/protonix-why-apple-sauce-or-apple-juice But that poster didn't mention where he got that information so I...

  12. Pantoprazole suspension

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to sarahc331's topic in Patient Medications

    I googled. It has to do with the low pH of the apple sauce/juice. The particles are activated at neutral pHs, like water, so the low pH of applesauce/juice allows them to safely make it into the...

  13. Research Nursing

    Peanut&Buttercup posted a topic in Research

    Can anyone give me advice on getting my foot in the door in research nursing? I am in my third semester of a five semester ADN program. I can opt out at that point, or proceed to complete by BSN. I...

  14. Forgot to mark med on diabetic chart- thoughts?

    When in doubt, call your

  15. Is this choice the correct one?

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to CalderonLuis's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    You should talk to a counselor at your school. I fear you are not going about your goals in the most efficient (cheapest and least amount of time). What program did you study for your Associates?...

  16. I want to quit pre-nursing for social work!

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to pumpkinlover95's topic in Nursing Career

    Here's an idea: switch to social work! Social work has low pay and high stress. It can be a very difficult, demanding and stressful career, but that doesn't mean it's not right for you. I suggest...

  17. Grading scale

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to maleRN2MSN's topic in General Students

    A - 92-100 B - 85-91 C - 78-84 Anything below a 78 is

  18. I need some hardcore advice.

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to C4mRod's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There are a lot of schools and a lot of paths to becoming an RN. I just started an ASN program in August. My GPA was a 2.6. If it's truly what you want, talk to every admission counselor within a...

  19. Rasmussen or not?

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to enfield76's topic in General Nursing

    Metro State cost per credit is $286.25 per credit (nursing) and $221.40 per credit for general undergrad, including $10.43 per credit fees. According to the curriculum plan, the MANE BSN is 30...

  20. Attorney to Nurse Career

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to Brett73's topic in Legal

    There is actually another lawyer in my class of 32. You are not

  21. Is this worth my time?

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to danthemanwhocan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Perhaps a LPN/LVN program would be better suited for you. A MA, at least as I understand, is a different beast than a nurse. If you become a MA, few, if any, of your credits would transfer to a RN...

  23. Managing money and student loans

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to Jfulton006's topic in General Students

    Have you looked at loan consolidation? Depending on many different factors, you can lower your payment by extending the repayment period. You will pay more (more interest over life of the loan) but...

  24. Nursing to Law School

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to astrocyte's topic in Philippines

    I would recommend you do some research before you enroll in law school. 1. Unemployment rates for lawyers is pretty high. We have a huge glut of lawyers and no jobs. 2. There is a bimodal salary...

  25. Is This Bullying?

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to roser13's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Does anyone have a jello study guide they can send me? I start nursing school next week and I want to make sure I'm prepared.
