   Honestly, if you cannot take more than one of the prereq's a semester and get A's, you won't be able to handle nursing school. You do not get to take classes one at a time in nursing school. I worked full time and took Micro, A&P, and intro to n...

   Is the first thing we have to do the criminal background check by the 15th? IS there anything else that needs done right away?

3. Puzzled over a recent patient's visit to an Emergency Department.

   dayna.tulip replied to DeannaMiller's topic in Emergency

   That is correct. Everything immediately life threatening had been ruled out. A CT chest would have shown PE, signs of aortic dissection, or another pulmonary process. Cardiac enzymes would have shown if there was cardiac damage. However, sometimes th...

   Then where I work, where the docs tend to be as I understand, kind of conservative, they would at least keep for serial cardiac enzymes, monitoring, and some kind of cardiac rule out testing in the morning such as CTA or stress test in the morning. S...

5. Puzzled over a recent patient's visit to an Emergency Department.

   dayna.tulip replied to DeannaMiller's topic in Emergency

   Any stress test over a year old is practically useless, and an old normal ECG is also useless, other than for comparison to an ECG when the patient is having symptoms. Given that PE was ruled out, and I'm assuming the imaging of his chest was otherwi...

   How hard is it to get into rehab nursing? I am currently a new nursing student, and work in the ER, which I would like to continue to work in the future. However, I am also very interested in rehab and psych facility nursing, as these kind of problem...

   Don't give up! If nursing is what you are set on there is nothing that can get in your way, except for giving up.

    I got in with a 92 Hesi and a 3.65 GPA. I don't know when I start but I guess I'll find out by June. I wish I could join the facebook group but I don't have a facebook and do not plan on reactivating mine! :/ But I'll see you all at orientation! Cong...

    That is a bummer! Thanks for the warning because I would have been freaking out wondering when I start! It's funny how they make us wait. What a gyp.

    Just what the GPA and hesi scores are that they are using for ranking, and that we have until the 23rd to call them to like, argue it if its wrong basically. Nothing else really

    I think its around 160 right? that they accept..then they probably rank a few more people, like 20-40 in case people don't want to do the program after all or whatever.

    My GPA was lower than I calculated as well. But a LOT lower. The thing that confuses me is that they gave me a 3.65 GPA and a 92 HESI. I have never, in any semester at MCC, had lower than a 3.8. So I'm really confused. The only thing that I can think...

    I have a total GPA of around 3.85. My HESI was 92. I have an A in Micro, an A in A&P, and a B in the intro to nursing class. I tried for an A in the intro to nursing but the tests questions were very confusing and my teacher even had to give peop...
