  1. Geez, I'm glad I'm not working right now

    MikeyJ replied to TazziRN's topic in General Nursing

    Aside from the Meridia, did you get in touch with a nutritionist and a personal trainer? My step-dad was put on Meridia, but I have been "forcing" him to come walk with me and to change his eating...

  2. Letter to Dean??

    MikeyJ replied to MikeyJ's topic in General Students

    I also wanted to clarify by what I meant by this letter I was going to write the dean. It was merely going to be a letter talking about how highly I think of this professor (kind of like an evaluation...

  3. Letter to Dean??

    MikeyJ replied to MikeyJ's topic in General Students

    Thank you all for your input -- I think I was just so upset about the entire scenario that I needed some advice. I have decided not to write a letter to the dean. Thank you Crystal for your wonderful...

  4. HTN in African American community

    MikeyJ replied to Jayla's topic in General Nursing

    This is exactly why nurses, physicians, PAs, NPs, physical therapists, etc. should all be required to take a class on medical anthropology. All of your stereotypes are simply that, stereotypes. Yes,...

  5. What have you done for yourself lately?

    MikeyJ replied to Nvr2Old's topic in General Nursing

    For me I don't have an abundance of money to "treat" myself. However, for me I love to run and if I don't run at least 5 nights I will go crazy! So I run at least 4 miles a night and it helps me...

  6. Did anyone watch 20/20 last night? transgendered children

    MikeyJ replied to allantiques4me's topic in General Nursing

    I find this type of thing very interesting, especially considering I am extremely interested in Medical Anthropology. From an anthropological perspective, western culture finds this type of behavior...

  7. How Did You Pass Pathophysiology??

    MikeyJ replied to SA2BDOCTOR's topic in General Students

    I haven't taken Patho yet (start it in a few weeks though -- eek!). However, I agree with previous posters that you really need to figure out what type of learning style works best for you. Some...

  8. Would you work during nursing school if you didn't have to?

    MikeyJ replied to justme1972's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have had to maintain a job since I was in high school (sometimes two jobs while in college) and I have done excellent in school. I actually find that students who do not work or participate in...

  9. Am I over reacting?

    MikeyJ replied to curlysue82's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You sound like you a pretty intelligent individual. I seriously wouldn't worry too much about "getting off easy" in your Eng. I class. However, I personally love English and feel it is necessary to...

  10. Preparing for Applying for Nursing Program?

    MikeyJ replied to TnKzMom's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I go to UNLV, however I am sure the requirements are generally the same for all nursing schools. UNLV students are given a list of things they need to do before starting the program -- usually a month...

  11. RN Overtime Hours

    MikeyJ replied to bigtimer225's topic in General Nursing

    Still a nursing student here; however, from speaking with other nurses, there is all the O/T in the world here in Southern Nevada. I know of one nurse who averages 6 shifts a week (nurses work 12-hour...

  12. GPA and nursing

    MikeyJ replied to NoeIssa's topic in General Nursing

    I start my nursing classes this summer, and I don't expect to maintain a 4.0; however, I do expect to keep my average g.p.a. above the 3.5 mark. I have plans of either furthering my nursing degree or...

  13. did y ou all go to pinning ceremony?

    MikeyJ replied to Ms.RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I won't graduate until next year; however, the School of Nursing is on a totally different calendar than the university, and I will happen to finish in August '08. There isn't a university graduation...

  14. How many credits are too much??

    MikeyJ replied to Crux1024's topic in General Students

    During my pre-req's I would take anywhere between 12 and 18 (depending on how intense my classes were). This semester I have a whopping SIX because I am just filling up a semester of classes before I...

  15. Ccsn Program

    MikeyJ replied to checkmate's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Out of curiosity, Dee, what type of career are you switching from? Any particular reasons why you chose to pursue Nursing

  16. Ccsn Program

    MikeyJ replied to checkmate's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Yeah, I guess thats true. I would think that most would still try to apply at CCSN because of how expensive a few of the others

  17. Missing Clincials??

    MikeyJ replied to jewelsg627's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My school won't have Saturday "clinicals"; however, they do have Saturday assessment labs. I signed up for a Saturday lab, as it allows another day during the week to get some hours in at

  18. CCSN Application points?

    MikeyJ replied to TnKzMom's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I go to UNLV, but as far as I understand NSC has accreditation -- its just closely under watch (do they call that "provisional"?) because of their very very low NCLEX pass rates. I haven't heard any...

  19. Ccsn Program

    MikeyJ replied to checkmate's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I wonder why CCSN had half of the applicants this year compared to last year? Hmm..

  20. How does a new grad get a job in this state?

    MikeyJ replied to alicet's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Thats awesome! :monkeydance: :balloons: A resume can make or break an applicant, and I think many qualified candidates are not even granted an interview based on their

  21. Student Nurse who needs some input/advice

    MikeyJ replied to blyn79's topic in General Nursing

    I had worked at a local hospital a year back as an asst. program coordinator (it was a grant program through my school of nursing). Anyways, I had met this girl who was working in an out-patient...

  22. At home schools

    MikeyJ replied to sacredwoman's topic in General Nursing

    It really depends on the community college. I have seen courses as short as 5-weeks and as long as 16 weeks. The longer ones are generally spread out, where the shorter ones require students to be in...

  23. Dilemma - in a good way

    MikeyJ replied to HikingNinja's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I heard Touro was a great school -- have they had a graduating class yet? How long is the

    MikeyJ replied to jackothedrummer1's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Good for you! You definitely will not regret your choice -- even though the ride will be strenuous and stressful at times, remember to keep your eyes focused on the light at the end of the

  25. At home schools

    MikeyJ replied to sacredwoman's topic in General Nursing

    I think a good thing to do is go online and do some very quick "research" on the different nursing careers and the education required (just because your original post regarding nurse practitioner is...
