From what I have been told by nearly everyone that ever worked at the VA is that they will hire people that they know first. One person I know volunteered there for networking purposes before he was hired on.
I worked for a Medicaid HMO plan, and we ran into this issue where hospitals would bill for things at the higher level of care cpt codes when it wasnt appropriate. If it was paid in error, it would be taken back. If it was determined that this was do...
I am registered for the July 17 class. I am trying to buy the smaller things now so I am not so overwhelmed. I was told we need a white watch, nursing scissors, a pen light, a stethoscope and white socks. Oh and the scrubs are Cherokee brand and we ...

This is a job for those that are still actively in the program. You will not be considered, and honestly, why would you want to be? It is basically a tech job.
Hey I just wanted to let you all know that although CVS will do the physicals and TB tests, it is $79 for the physical, $28 for the TB test, and another $28 to get it read. I just called Doctors Urgent and Primary Care, and they offer same day appoin...
I used this book TEAS Study Guide Version 5: Teas V Exam Prep and Practice Test Questions for the Test of Essential Academic Skills: 9781941759301: Medicine & Health Science Books @ Amazon.com I liked it, and I also used free online resources tha...
relax, first off. Go over your weak points and study those. You will need to know how to calculate probability, percentage, fractions...pretty basic stuff. Reading comprehension, science, and language. It is really not that bad. There are free practi...
To an extent, if you have dual credit courses, it definitely will. I had 12 credit hours that I actually took in high school that are college credit hours. The rest...to be honest, not to a community college. For the more prestigious colleges it will...
It depends solely on you. Some people can barely handle school without kids, others have many and do well. You also need to take into consideration that, although you are not old, women over 35 have increased risks associated with pregnancy. That can...
I am not strong or weak in math. I can do it if I take the time to slow down. At the same time...it couldn't hurt to have the extra help. I am in the ADN program. I would have taken the LPN program if I had not been accepted into the ADN though. Aike...
so is anyone going to do the math bootcamp thing that was included in the packet? I am trying to decide if it's worth it, as I have to find childcare if I go. I am going to do the CPR class on the 17th if they still have it open.
stay away from the college network ! Indiana state and excelsior each have bridge programs, and many schools now offer it. Look into your area and see if they have bridge programs. Check your state requirements for excelsior though, some do not accep...

That sounds awful, I would have quit too as that is an unreasonable amount of hours for a student nurse, and the work load is unmanageable. If it is as you truly stated it was, I would not feel guilty for it. You didn't quit because you felt above th...

what exactly do you mean, she couldn't afford color? I seek clarification because most letters are written in black ink on white paper, so it comes across like a race issue implication here. My next question is, have you applied to other programs in...

I have to disagree with this one. I worked in a home for mentally disabled adults, and we were ALWAYS understaffed for floor personnel. The nurses knew this, yet would roll their eyes and refuse to so much as make sure the residents were dry. We were...
I see both sides. Hospitals want to run tests and make sure both mom and baby we are ok , where as mom just wants to go home and rest. A lot of time insurance has a minimum stay anyway. My maternity coverage states I have to stay 48 hours. Violation ...
Definitely a good idea. I am buying books from someone that was in spring semester , and she said she has a friend selling hers as well if anyone wants to go that route.
I'm in too ! I felt like I was going crazy waiting since I'm out of state , but my neighbor checked the mail and told me that I have an acceptance letter. Is anyone interested in meeting up before orientation as a little meet and greet ?
