  1. Hesi Scandal at my School!

    CrazyPremed replied to yotoc's topic in General Nursing

    There is SO much drama in nursing school. At my school, we had a similar situation. My feelings are, there is going to be scandal whereever you go and - in a year or two - know one will even remember...

  2. Nursing Home vs. Hospital...

    CrazyPremed posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    If you had opportunites at a nursing home and hospital as a new grad, which would you take? The pay difference is about $8 per hour. I know what to tell my friend, but I was wondering what everyone...

  3. Did not pass my nclex-pn...

    CrazyPremed replied to alvernvern's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Have you found out your results, yet? Like many people said, you may have passed. I wish you luck. If not, then I would continue to use the saunders CD. I would do a 100 question quiz, write down...

  4. Took NCLEX today...

    CrazyPremed replied to blinnk's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I know what you are going through. I took the NCLEX-PN today. I thought that 75 was the magic number. I was feeling good until number 76, then 77, then 78, etc. Finally it hit me - 85 is what I was...

  5. AZ LPN Links...

    CrazyPremed posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    Hello folks, I've tried to compile many of the AZ LPN threads together. This should help those Arizonians who are considering becoming/already are LPN's get organized. Maybe we could make it a sticky!...

  6. How long does it take to get license after school?

    CrazyPremed posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    Hey everyone, I'm planning on taking the LPN exam after Block two. How long does it take from the time classes end? Two weeks? Two months? Thanks in advance!

  7. Life Care Centers

    CrazyPremed replied to eugenia's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I have a friend who is a new LPN and he seems to like it. He had problems with the patient load (it seems pretty heavy), but stuck it out. He is a new grad LPN finishing the RN portion of the program...

  8. Pros and Cons of each of the MCCD nursing programs?

    CrazyPremed replied to skyae's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Honestly, you aren't really given any choice. You apply, and then go where they send you. Each program has pros and cons, but - in my opinion - it really depends on what kind of environment you do...

  9. Apollo Nursing School

    CrazyPremed replied to Mayaquice's topic in Arizona Nursing

    The've just graduated a class; I think that it is the first one. A co-worker of mine went through the program. She was applying to ASU & the CC's, but didn't want to wait. While the rest of her...

  10. A classmate wants to know if I'm gay. How should I respond?

    CrazyPremed replied to atwtrn's topic in Male Nursing Students

    This is a great and interesting post. My opinion is that a person's sexuality is part of who they are. We don't go around pretending that everyone is straight, white, upper middle class, educated,...

  11. MCCCD Students. How many patients in each Block?

    CrazyPremed replied to moog's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Great post, Mattsmom. I just finished Block I. We only took one patient, and towards the end, could take two (if we wanted too). We did a minature version of the careplan for the second patient. I...

  12. Who's failing block I???

    CrazyPremed posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm not failing block one, but many of my classmates are. How's it going at other schools?

  13. Who's failing block I???

    CrazyPremed replied to CrazyPremed's topic in Arizona Nursing

    A little update... The last exams are over and we still have a small amount not passing. It's not as bad as it was before, but I'm still nervous for those few. How about anyone else?

  14. ADN without CNA

    CrazyPremed replied to Multicollinearity's topic in Arizona Nursing

    If it pushes you back a semester or if you have to do while in block I, I say don't. Otherwise, I recommend it. They say that you'll be taught everything, but you don't get good at it. Most of the...

  15. I's/O's...

    CrazyPremed replied to Scoobiedoo's topic in General Nursing

    Boy, I thought that only happened to me!!! For us, it tends to be family members, dietary, etc, who grab trays and don't write it down. Then I have to play detective and grill the patient themselves!!...

  16. Maricopa Skills Center

    CrazyPremed replied to PaSsIoN_4_NuRsInG's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Actually, one has to be a paramedic to get into that bridge program. That's the EMT B, I & P programs. In additional, the BIO 201,205,205, etc. prereqs also have to be done to start in block...

  17. Who's failing block I???

    CrazyPremed replied to CrazyPremed's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Any updates? My class is doing better as a whole, but it's becoming apparent that we may not have a few passing. What about all of you?

  18. Do you have to take ATI exams?

    CrazyPremed replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Students

    We have to take the ATI also (proctored in class, and we have required attendance), but it's just for the experience. We started taking it the first month of nursing school. I'd say about 75% of the...

  19. Who's failing block I???

    CrazyPremed replied to CrazyPremed's topic in Arizona Nursing

    That must be nice!!! Our class is full of people with bachelor degrees and YEARS of health care experience. We have premed and pre NP students, and I have yet to find the non-smart one in the bunch....

  20. Who's failing block I???

    CrazyPremed replied to CrazyPremed's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Anyone else? I think that our class is struggling most with the NCLEX style questions in Process. Realistically, the material is not hard. Pharm is taught well and clinical is purely hands on. I think...

  21. funny things Phleb's hear when with a p.t

    CrazyPremed replied to PHLEBOTOMIST_TO_RN's topic in General Nursing

    That's gotta be the worst. I HATE that one!!!!!

  22. Micro -- through Rio or in a classroom setting?

    CrazyPremed replied to AZmom's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I took Micro online through Rio Salado because I didn't want to wait for a spot at the CC's. I would look into it. Pros: You study on your own time (great for your situation), and the only assignments...

  23. Advice for new CNA's....

    CrazyPremed posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Hey folks, I thought that this might be a great thread for those newly minted CNA's. Do you have any advice? Thanks in advance!!

  24. HELP! I DON"T WANT TO GO THROUGH CNA first...

    CrazyPremed replied to lookingforward's topic in General Nursing

    To the OP, There is nothing wrong with not wanting to clean up crap all day long. I work in an ER where half of the nurses complain that they came to the ER to get away from all the CNA stuff. At...

  25. LPN Schools - Phoenix

    CrazyPremed replied to Seven, RN2b's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Gateway Community College has one that is similar to the Southwest Skills Center and Maricopa Skills Center (Which is hosted by gateway, but a different site) Gateway's only requires HCC 130 and...
