    Charity School of Nursing for Spring 2016

    Yes. Plan on about $3k total for first semester. There is a lot of up front costs. Books (that cover the whole program), uniforms, stethoscope, Bo cuff, etc. plus tuition and fees ($1891 for my first...

    Old wives tales

    Wow :: I haven't heard of that. I have heard (and done this) of emptying a capsule of Benadryl and rubbing that on gums will numb them. And it does

    I was curious about that as well. Maybe they add leptospermum to the honey post

    Did Grey's Anatomy Get It Right With The Superhero Pose?

    Certainly depends on the surgery. But in some cases risk taking does save lives or prolongs them. I've seen this a lot in reviewing op notes for tumor removals. The surgeons usually don't know what...

    Did Grey's Anatomy Get It Right With The Superhero Pose?

    I hate admit it but when I'm studying I relate almost everything back to Greys Anatomy or House.

    RN to PNP

    Most of the RN-MSN programs that I have seen in my research require a non-nursing bachelors (due to general education requirements) and most will grant the BSN after that part of hethe program is...

    Will my anxiety get in the way of becoming a nurse?

    Yes you can do it. But it will take extra effort. You will have to work with your MD to control you anxiety pharmacologically as well as using non- pharm methods. I use multiple methods to mitigate my...
  9. See if you have an occupational health clinic near you. Here locally we have a place that does all the health requirements for school for very low cost. Physicals were like $50, titers $20, PPD $10,...

    Question about licensing companies

    From what I gathered from the website they were just an expensive document mailing service.

    Migraines and nursing?

    Following.... in nursing school and suffer from terrible migraines. Stress and hormones are my biggest triggers - YAY! /sarcasm/ I am actually going to see a new neurologist next week about my options...

    desperate to go to sch

    You're gonna have to do the pre-reqs. Period. Then you'll have to apply to a nursing program. There is no shame in going to a community college. They are cost effective and they get you to your end...

    Calling in Sick

    I have no experience ... however, a dentist is a doctor (of dental surgery) and your friend was/is under their care at the time the reaction occurred so I would imagine if the dentist is managing the...

    Question about licensing companies

    Wouldn't it be easier and less costly to go directly through the state board - cut out the middle man? I'm a little confused as to what service they
  15. Is your dream to be a nurse or to graduate from a top25? Seems to me the top25 is more important to you for whatever reason and therefore you are not really pursuing nursing, at all. I have a BA, MPH...

    Does everyone have a conscience?

    This. Have you seen the stupidity that many kids in this age bracket film and put on YouTube. They think it's "hilarious". They are still invincible at this age. They are still developing their...

    Why Do We Say "Nursing School"?

    I have a bunch of friends that are legit rocket scientists! I wouldn't call it romper room. Honestly, nursing is hard - mostly because it's a different way of thinking - but I don't think it's any...

    Why Do We Say "Nursing School"?

    I usually refer to it as my "nursing program" I don't know

    Is this right?

    I suggest going to your university's website and looking up the pre'-nursing curriculum. Everything you've listed looks right for the beginning of any pre-nursing program. BSN programs require 120ish...

    Is this right?

    The only thing that proves is that you are ready for English 101 and not remedial English. In order to get credit for English 101 you need to either take it or test out of it for credit if they even...

    APA Question- need help tonight! late again!

    So I busted out my old APA book (it's 5th edition) - I clearly am procrastinating studying for my pharmacology exam. Closest I could find is this. Use italics for: titles of books, periodicals, and...
