Hi, Anyone here doing the LPN program at Columbia in Middle Tennessee? If so, what is the waitlist like? How did you like the program? Thanks so much!! Melody :Melody:

Excellent idea! I too, hav a weak stomach and my husband thinks that it is funny that I want to do nursing but can't stand to pick up dog poo! I have been doing it more often so that I can "build up my ammunities:chuckle ) I know that I will rub a p...

OLD?? Oh please..... I am 43 and I am working on my pre-reqs! It is not the number that matters (although some of you might be thinking "Yea Right"), but the maturity and the life experiences that you have had that you can use. I look at the younger ...

Hi There, I am will be taking A&P this semester (Apring 2006) at Los Medanos College and was wondering if anyone else out there this currently going to Los Medanos or Solano, Napa, Ohlone or anyother CC in Northern California? How do you like you...

I totally agree with "cherish" about the study area. I do my studying in my bedroom with the door shut and I do take breaks because my little pea brain can only take in so much info at a time. I also start a few days prior to a test and DO NOT try to...

Yes, that would really help you becase the school is right in your backyard and it might help take some of the people that are on other wait lists. Let me know if you find anything out. Melody

I can't wait either! I will be taking A&P 1 and Pre Algebra:bluecry1: This is the first time in a LONG time that I am totally fired up about taking a class and REALLY getting into it! January 17th can't get here any quicker. Please remind me t...

Do you need to have a BSN in order to qualify for a Case Management position? Would a ASN work? Thanks! Melody:p

How did you like doing an online class? Did you have support of somekind in case you had questions? Melody:clown:

Correct me if I am wrong on this but during the summer there was an article in the Contra Costa Times about Las Positas College. They mentioned that there was a possibility of a nursing program starting up out there in the near future. Do you now any...

OUCH!!! $13,000 a semester!! It is nice to know that there is a school that I could get into if I can't get into a CC. Thanks for letting me know. Yes, I am in the Bay area - I am in Contra Costa county. Was it hard to get into your school? Melody

I like this idea. You will already get to know many of the people that work there and when the time comes to be hired, you will know what departments you like and ones that you want to avoid like the plague:eek: I am currently in retail and HATE it!...

Hello all fellow A&P people! I will be starting my class on 1/17 (I think that is the date). I am going to a community college here in Northern California. Anyone else from California? If so what school do you go to? I can't WAIT to take this cl...

Is the burn out rate high in this department? I thought that you had to have a bit of experience under your belt before you could go into ER. Can you really go in right after you are done with your education? Melody :Snowman1:

Although I am the last person in the world that should comment on this (have just begun my pre-reqs), I find that having a really good friend in the same program helps so much. A good friend and I are going through this program together and it helps ...

So what do you do when the family starts making demands on you such as the "Warm Blankets, working TV and Phone" and all the other percs that they think that it is there for them? Do you have to remind them that they are not the patient? Just curious...

I am slightly confused. In another post regarding employment at a few hospitals in Nashville, the poster mentioned that she was not offered a sign on bonus while in Memphis they are giving a nice size sign on. Is Baptist, Vanderbilt and the other bi...

Is this really true?? My family and I are thinking about moving to Tennessee and this makes me a little nervous. I have been to Vanderbilt's website and it looks like there is a huge need for nurses so I am not sure what to believe. Can someone plea...

This is really something!!! I thought I was in the same boat but I see I have lots of company!! I have started a few things too and I think I have seen the same "here we go again" face from my husband. But I told him that I really I was meant to be d...

Anyone going to Los Medanos for the LVN or the RN program? A friend and I are working on our pre reqs and would like to hear from anyone that is going to see what it is like. Thanks so much! Melody :Melody:

WOW!! Thanks for all the great info!! I really appreciate it! Thanks for taking the time to answer my post. I will start the nursing seminar on the 29th of this month. I think I will get alot of answers to my questions on this day (hopefully) but I ...

Thanks so much! Melody :Melody:

Hi there, Thanks for responding to my question. When you say a ADN, you mean a Associate Degree in Nursing? If so, I think that that they have one there. I checked on the school website and saw it but I was wondering if anyone knows how long the wait...

Hi there! I am so glad that you posted!! A friend of mine and I are working on our Pre Reqs and I would really love some pointers. How long did it take you to get in?? How do you like it? Any info that you can give me will be greatly appreciated!! M...

Oh THANK YOU Mary Rose!! :thankya: I will be 43 in October and I am just starting my Pre reqs. It seems that with such a demand for nurses that there should not be too much consideration given to age...well unless you don't ahve a pulse!! I am SO gl...
