    3rdGenRN replied to allietx's topic in School, College Programs

    I think so, but at a cost of $20/nametag I'm definitely checking elsewhere before that! I swear the insurance was by the year, but I don't have anything in front of me to confirm that. The rates are...

  2. NVCC applying for Fall of 2014. Class of 2016

    3rdGenRN replied to allietx's topic in School, College Programs

    I called my own liability carrier for a quote and they weren't sure of exactly what the school was asking for so I'll look at where the school said to go. Yeah that's the tracker but I see a page on...

    3rdGenRN replied to allietx's topic in School, College Programs

    We register July 28. I went through the checklist and put every date in my calendar using the keyword nursing so I can search them all at once. There were so many dates, I know I'll miss one if I'm...

    3rdGenRN replied to Music in My Heart's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I don't have an Apple computer, but what I would do (what I do to view Office docs on my iDevices) is from a PC I would digitally print them as PDFs, this will preserve the formatting from Word and...

  8. NVCC applying for Fall of 2014. Class of 2016

    3rdGenRN replied to allietx's topic in School, College Programs

    I am guessing ratios, conversions, and dimensional analysis is probably a lot of the test. I'm using some med math curricula I found online to study for it. I've worked too hard this year to reduce my...

  16. Does anyone drive students home?

    3rdGenRN replied to Nurse ABC's topic in School

    I am always shocked at fact that in both school districts we've lived in, nurses, teachers, administrators, all seem to have no qualms about driving students home. Blows my

  17. NVCC TEAS Reqs (English as 3rd language)

    3rdGenRN replied to enginerd's topic in Virginia Nursing

    It is not "easy" for native speakers either. I worked my butt off for my score (86.7%, my lowest score on the TEAS) and I generally score at the top of any English Language assessments. I had a very...

    At our school during Nursing School Orientation, incoming students have to take (yet another!) mathematics assessment. If you score 90+ you don't have to take the dosage calculations course. I've...

    3rdGenRN replied to 3rdGenRN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thanks guys! Conversions and I were not friends at all through grade school. Well, metric-metric conversions. For some reason I could convert standard measurements all day long and standard to...

  22. Pre-reqs at NVCC

    3rdGenRN replied to misscee's topic in Virginia Nursing

    The LPN to RN programs are identical except 1 course: instead of fundamentals, you take transitions. They advise you apply to both because the LPN has fewer
