  1. What do you do in CNA class?

    meganec17 replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I would say that it is like a mini nursing course. There will be assignments, tests, and homework. If your class is anything like mine, you will practice the skills in the classroom, and then head to...

  2. ATI Modules

    meganec17 replied to SouthernBelle85's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    My class also uses ATI, and I hate it! However, mine doesn't count for anything. We have to watch the skills videos, then know how to preform them in lab. We can take the quizzes, but they are just to...

    meganec17 replied to KatFUTUREnurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    meganec17 replied to byjessi's topic in General Nursing

  9. Calm My Test Anxiety?!

    meganec17 posted a topic in General Students

    Tomorrow I have my final practical for my A&PII class - it's been a 10 week class over the summer. Lab is worth 40% of my total grade, with this practical being worth 10% of that. As of right now,...

  10. Calm My Test Anxiety?!

    meganec17 replied to meganec17's topic in General Students

  11. Dilute Urine Test?!?

    meganec17 posted a topic in General Nursing

  14. Reaction to PPD test?

    meganec17 replied to meganec17's topic in General Nursing

    Hey everyone! I have a follow-up question. Today at my appointment I was given a Hepatitis B vaccination seconds before my PPD was planted. Is there anyway this could cause my abnormal reaction? Bear...

    meganec17 posted a topic in General Nursing

    meganec17 replied to meganec17's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you, it's nice to hear similar stories! It is also very hot here today - in the 90s! Hopefully I'll be allowed a re-test if my sample comes back abnormal - I should hear back in the next few...

  22. Nursing loans really that bad? 120K

    meganec17 replied to nursequery1's topic in General Students

    I personally wouldn't do it, but don't give up your dream. I was enrolled in a four year nursing program, it was in the city, and I was dorming. One year would have cost me $34,000 so by the end of my...

  23. College Soccer & Nursing?

    meganec17 replied to meganec17's topic in General Students

    JBudd - I agree, 23 hours is a huge weekly time commitment. I am almost positive that I am not going to participate. My future career and grades are far more important than a game. Thanks for...
