  1. Summer Employment for Nursing Student, No CNA

    Pharmacies might have some need for summer help for techs if you're in a bigger college town! Could always look there.
  2. Hand Held Device Requirement for Clinical

    This is really interesting. I think if you're worried about being able to easily see things on your device, an iphone would be the last choice you should make... well, maybe not the last. But...
  3. Anyone else waiting to start RN program?

    Some schools (like mine) do a conditional admission. Once you finish the pre-reqs under conditional admission you submit an intent to enroll (in core courses) and some students can start in the next...
  4. Any A&P II study tips?

    I also know these ADHD difficulties... I wish I knew how to get past them the first time I took A&P I... anyway, I'm taking A&P II this fall but I've found that reviewing and preparing over...
  5. Should I take anatomy II over the summer?

    I think if you feel like you retained enough knowledge from A&P I to go do A&P II right away, and if you have the time to commit to a shorter and therefore more intense course, then you could...
  6. remedial classes

    I had a horrible history with math from algebra I and on... until I reached college. I took algebra I and II/trig twice each in junior high and high school because I just didn't get it. I took the...
  7. I could use some encouragement

    I loved stats. I think the reason why was because I was able to connect what I was learning with what I would be using it for in real life. I took it as a requirement for the HIM program I just...
  8. I could use some encouragement

    First of all, minimester?! You're already way more ambitious than me, learning a subject that quickly in such an intense course would make my brain explode. But that doesn't mean yours will! And a...
  9. NCLEX strikes terror in the hearts....

    I'm already looking at study guides, but I won't be taking the test for at least four years
  10. Please post in this thread! [Link] Didn't see that one before I posted this, my apologies! It's always fascinating to hear stories about what led people to a certain education and career path....
  11. Intrigued by this Coursera Vital Signs Course

    I might check this out. Just added a couple A&P courses on iTunes U to start reviewing (more) but I'm not really into watching videos on my phone, too distracting for my little ADHD brain haha....
  12. Well, the thing about HIM positions is that A) pay is relative to facility size and type. So for example, at a large facility in a metro area you might start out at $14-15 an hour for entry level...
  13. question about insurance

    This is true, it is really hard for most people to manage straight off the bat. But taking into account the fact that many hospitals are now offering financial plans where interest is accumulated...
  14. Well, his question was: And the answer is a resounding "maybe" but that it shouldn't matter if being a nurse is your dream. If you are passionate about something you will do everything you can to...
  15. A&P I and II??

    In the Wisconsin Technical College System I believe all A&P I classes are primarily focused on anatomy with a bit of physiology overview and A&P II focuses on physiology after anatomy review....
  16. question about insurance

    I would like to make it clear that denial of service based on insurance coverage is not true for emergency services. Hospitals cannot legally deny emergency treatment of any person for any reason,...
  17. Yes, this is all so true! I was just talking with my S.O. yesterday about how difficult math was for me until my first year of college, when I finally realized that it was my whole mindset toward...
  18. 1st semester 4.0

    Congrats!!! That's awesome!
  19. What inspired you to be a nurse?

    Oh no!!! I just saw this post (how did I miss that, come on AJC...) and it's almost the exact thing that I wanted to hear about too. Sorry about that! I can't figure out how to delete the post yet,...
  20. Intrigued by this Coursera Vital Signs Course

    I'm taking the course too! So far it's been a lot of information to take in in one week but no more than an actual summer course. The discussion board has been an interesting read too. It's been...
  21. Hi dulcet, I would say this board would be a good place to ask mostly because HIM and nursing can be combined in a number of ways. I don't know what your background is (student, graduate, RN, etc)...
