  1. Any nurses previous pts?

    Nurse2be35 replied to young33's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I was a NICU baby born 2 months early and my stay there was just as long. I'm considering being a NICU nurse too. I have 3 more semesters

    Nurse2be35 replied to allietx's topic in School, College Programs

    You're welcome! The MEC also has TEAS prep classes for reading, English, and math. They're $200 each though. I did the math and English (they were pretty helpful). I think they're through continuing...

    I had to retake the math portion of the teas. I studied Keshwani videos on YouTube and got almost a perfect score the second time around. Best of luck! You can do it! And you have plenty of time to...

  4. Taking CNA exam Friday? Need help and advice!

    Nurse2be35 replied to ONCRN2017's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    For the critical steps I think it means don't start brushing someone's teeth with the bed supine and then later say "oh I should have put their bed up before I started doing this." That's a safety...

  5. Taking CNA exam Friday? Need help and advice!

    Nurse2be35 replied to ONCRN2017's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Remember the basics... When entering: knock, greet the resident, say your name and what procedure you'll be doing, pull curtain for privacy, gather supplies When leaving: Call light within reach,...

  6. Taking CNA exam Friday? Need help and advice!

    Nurse2be35 replied to ONCRN2017's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I took the CNA exam in another state. I had hand hygiene, measuring urinary output, PPE, assist with bedpan, and catheter care. I went through a program that barely used the skills lab, so I did most...

    Hi everyone, I got my uniforms at the bookstore about a week ago. I didn't have to wait for them to be ordered. I found the tops run a little big (usually wear a M, got a S). I hope once we are in the...

    Nurse2be35 replied to allietx's topic in School, College Programs

    I have no idea what that is. I did it and left those two questions blank. It says we have multiple attempts. If they tell us what it is at orientation I'll go back and fill that

    Yes I ordered my nurse kit separately from a different website and it looks like it's the same thing they listed on blackboard. Happy shopping

    Nurse2be35 replied to allietx's topic in School, College Programs

    That is so frustrating, I'm sorry. I also assumed that 1 week between summer/fall semesters we would be free if we completed everything else ahead of time. The 11th and 14th are listed, but maybe at...

    Nurse2be35 replied to allietx's topic in School, College Programs

    Thank you for bringing this up. I didn't see the "at a glance" dates when I printed the to-do list. I feel the same way! I planned on going to the beach the 11-16... I guess that's not an option...

    Okay I spoke to someone in the nursing department and they told me to upload the vaccination form once. In the meantime they will work on getting that and the 2013 deadline fixed. Hope this

    I just checked my profile and everything still says 2013. I got an email yesterday after responding to the one we received asking to let them know if we were in the wrong class. The woman replied and...

    Nurse2be35 replied to allietx's topic in School, College Programs

    I think it is the checklist we printed out on blackboard. I guess they just want us to check the boxes and upload it once we are finished with everything just to make sure we didn't miss

    Rnc510: how was the MEC orientation?!? PreetM: thank you! I ended up calling the customer service number. When I logged on I couldn't see the $1M/$6M, but an email from them went to my junk mail....

    I purchased the nursing skills pack by clicking on the link provided. It asks you to log in, so I used the one given on the order form I downloaded. I entered my address for the billing info (was a...

    I did the background check too and was placed in the Fall 2013 cohort. I thought it was a mistake at first. Yeah I have midterms this week for my other classes, so my head is spinning right now. I...

    I'm looking at Blackboard now and it is overwhelming! I was thinking the same thing about the physical cause I just had 1 in January. That To-Do List The amount of deadlines we have is just as long...

    Nurse2be35 replied to allietx's topic in School, College Programs

    It's a placement test, if we get 90% or higher we don't have to take the drug dose calculations class I think. Not entirely sure

    Hopefully we won't have to worry about Shenandoah tho. Don't worry (HA easier said than done), I'm sure your gpa/teas scores are good! Especially if everyone got in last year. We probably had the same...

    Nurse2be35 replied to allietx's topic in School, College Programs

    I agree, the longer wait is making me more anxious. We should hear back this week, hopefully no later than Friday. I don't really have any back up plans, this is my first choice. I got rejected from...
