  1. Maricopa Spring 2016 Block 1 students

    stephatron289 replied to Mrs.Bookworm's topic in Arizona Nursing

    So I was placed yesterday!!!! I got the email at work, and it threw me into a daze for the whole day until I could come home and celebrate appropriately. Placed at SCC for Spring 2016! It was my...

  2. Best laptop for school?

    stephatron289 replied to Saraela's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You might have already made up your mind but here's my input: I like the feel of Macs, but I grew up with PC so I found that trying Mac software was harder to get used to. I have a duel processing...

  3. Taking vitals - what to do when you can't feel radial pulse?

    stephatron289 replied to newuser321's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Perhaps next time you have to take this particular patient's pulse, ask the nurse for a quick aside to see if she can feel it. If she can, ask for her to show you (or ask another CNA). Practice,...

  4. Clinic staff ask pt how to find injection site?

    stephatron289 replied to MinneNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Another CMA here: In agreement with Coleman, we are all trained in how to give injections for many medications. In internal medicine, if a patient is coming in for a shot that is routine, like a Depo,...

  5. Taking 20 credit hours?

    stephatron289 replied to Kaylle's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Here's my $.02: I would suggest taking a full course load but only take one of the lab sciences at a time. This way, you still get through the credits you need but can focus on the science at hand and...

  6. Maricopa Spring 2016 Block 1 students

    stephatron289 replied to Mrs.Bookworm's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Here's my question: when are the CEP information sessions usually scheduled? I've been stalking the link sent in the email when you get your time stamp but it still says "No CEP information sessions...

  7. MCC Spring 2016

    stephatron289 replied to NursingAZ's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I've got Glendale evening/weekend and PVCC day, only because those are the two that are closest to me. I'm not fussed about getting placed soon, as my focus is on the CEP program with NAU (or ASU if...

  8. MCC Spring 2016

    stephatron289 replied to NursingAZ's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I have a timestamp from June 2015 at 8:00 am, (wasn't expecting to be placed, and wasn't but hey you never know!) but I saw on a different thread that someone with a timestamp of Feb. 2015 just got...

  9. PRN- Should I feel bad?

    stephatron289 replied to fifiandclea's topic in General Students

    PRN MA here: Don't feel bad in the slightest. And don't feel bad about using school as an excuse. I float to different clinics but I have a main supervisor that I give my schedule to. I'm not full...

  10. This week I have learned (6/20, a day late)

    stephatron289 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    1: There is a difference between 108 degrees and 112 degrees. 2: I can physically say the words, "it's only 110 degrees today!" and not be sarcastic. 3: Be eager to try to draw the patients that are...

  11. Need some advice

    stephatron289 replied to Mickle372's topic in General Students

    Like what PP stated, it depends on where you live and what program you are trying to get into. Where I used to live was extremely competitive, but where I live now, it's not. I don't believe that 2...

  12. HESI A2 Calculator?

    stephatron289 replied to Angiec1453's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    With the entrance exam, it is available on all questions. Or at least, it was on mine. But from what I read when I was anxious about the test, it was available for everyone else. Good

  13. what are some of the ways you studied for A&P.

    stephatron289 replied to asiamikell's topic in General Students

    I used a dry erase marker, and a clear cover. I would print out pictures with blank labels, write them in, erase and start again until I have that certain area down. We used to get into groups and...

  14. Maricopa Waiting List / Placement / Timestamps 2010+

    stephatron289 replied to Maciso's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Got my timestamp today!! 06/05/2015 08:04:00AM I'll be trying for the CEP through GCC, and I'll be applying for that in

  15. MCC/NAU Concurrent program questions

    stephatron289 replied to Prenurse94's topic in Arizona Nursing

    When I put in my application last month at GCC, the advisor told me that it was only a 9 month wait list. HOWEVER, that is for the ADN program. There is no waitlist for the CEP; you either get in when...

  16. Don't Call Them Nurses!

    stephatron289 replied to Lark Pogue's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    As MAs, we are trained in our schooling to give injections correctly. That upsets me that you got a flu shot as subQ, as proper injections are drilled in our heads at school. Also, your MAs should...

  17. Cultural Diversity and Tattoos

    stephatron289 replied to OwlieO.O's topic in General Students

    I'm not a nursing student (yet!) but I have worked in memory long term care and I am currently a medical assistant. I have never had a patient or supervisor comment on my tattoos. I have one on my...

  18. Pre-nursing student moving from Seattle to Phoenix

    stephatron289 posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    Hi all! I am a current student at a community college in the Seattle area. I received word yesterday that my husband is going to be transfered to his Phoenix office. Naturally, I'm panicing a little...

  19. Pre-nursing student moving from Seattle to Phoenix

    stephatron289 replied to stephatron289's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I only have microbiology and a couple of math classes left. My fear is that, up here, they only look at the GPA for the required courses and don't take into account the courses you've taken before...
