I'm a nursing student. At my school, we work with several local schools to help with the hearing and vision screenings as part of our first semester of nursing school. We're free, eager and available!

If you are female, try men's shoes. They are wider.

I found a pdf online from the Paralyzed Veterans of America that uses that term in the reference list The reference, I believe, was later corrected. "Kiskitis" became "discitis." The corrected reference is: Postoperative Spinal Wound Infections and P...

The NCLEX pass rate for 2014 was just 43%. Here's a list of schools in Illinois and their NCLEX pass rates: http://nursing.illinois.gov/PDF/IlApNursingEdProgPassRates.PDF.

Yes, the programs are competitive. I think the cut off is around 11 and above (a GPA of 3.5 with a TEAS of 75% or a GPA of 3.0 and a TEAS of 80% would get you to 11, but you'd probably want to aim higher). Each school has a list of classes required ...

The participating community colleges are: Anoka-Ramsey Community College, Century College, Inver Hills Community College, Normandale Community College, North Hennepin Community College, Ridgewater College, and Riverland Community College. Each schoo...

I am not aware of any (I also haven't looked), but you might want to look at the MANE program. First, you get your ADN at a community college. LPNS receive credit for their prior education. Then, you enroll at Metro State for the BSN. You are dually ...

Well, I have no clue as to whether you should have called the provider, but I found on Exelon's website instructions on what to do if the patch falls off: Exelon Patch is designed to deliver medication during the time it is worn. If your loved one's ...

I'd vote for finishing because you are so close and nursing will be a great way to pay for that psych PHD. It doesn't have to be one or the other! A phd will take several years, so a part time, well paying job will be nice to have. There are so ma...

I am starting nursing school in a couple weeks, but I was curious about others' experiences with patients and their families. When my mother was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, my parents didn't "hear" the part about her being terminal. They never und...

You might want to contact malpractice carriers to see if they would insure you with your condition. I'd guess that no one will hire someone that can't be insured.

I'll give you my thought process on the NP vs PA debate. I'm older and have a non-health care-related B.S. Originally, I wanted to do the PA route. It's two plus years and done. Perfect! I think but: 1. Most PAs require a fair amount of prerequisites...

If there are any non-nursing classes you need to take at any point in the program, taken them now if you can.

I'd offer to take the supervised test, if they are still open to it. If not, I'd probably find a place to have it done and pay for it myself. Your word vs. Your coworker's word comes down to a coin flip. Test results will prove you are clean.

Check into your state's WIA program. There may be money available to help you with school. The WIA program here paid tuition and books for two semesters for me.

I did a quick search, but I didn't see a thread on study tips. I just finished my first semester of nursing school (ADN). While I did well, I'm super nervous about next semester, especially Pathophysiology and Pharmacology. I like using the Pomodor...

You are accepted to the school, but not the nursing program. You will need to apply again to the nursing program before you can take nursing classes. You probably will want to talk to an advisor about what you will need to do to gain acceptance to th...

Malcolm: Unfortunately, you will need to satisfy the educational requirements in order to become a NP in the US. There are several paths to NP. 1. LPN/LVN: licensed practical nurse/licensed vocational nurse. To become a LPN/LVN, you will generally ...

You never know. I'm 20+ years out of high school and I scored 94. Don't let your age hold you back!

Without seeing the curriculum, I'd guess that pre-nursing Is similar to the first two years of a biology degree from an university. I'd suggest talking to your academic advisor to see what paths would be a good fit for your goals. Good luck!

On the website, I found the following information on prerequisites: The minimum 10.0 courses presented for consideration must include the following: No more than 5.0 courses at the introductory level (equivalent to courses numbered 1000 to 1999 at We...

In Minnesota, we have a graduate level program for dental hygienists like a PA program (I think you need a dentist to supervise). It's to address the dentist shortage in rural areas. Perhaps something like that exists where you are?

You sound like you will be a fantastic nurse. The hijab shouldn't hold you back at all. In healthcare, as in the rest of life, you may experience some prejudices. However, you will also have plenty of patients who will be thrilled to have a nurse in ...
