    TennesseeNurseToB replied to kjones3725's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Sure, I can email it to you. I'm pretty sure I still have it. A&P may be a weed out course in the tcat program (I'm not really sure) but in a community college/university setting its not difficult...

    Hi Meshon, don't worry! Your scores are just fine. I would sooner be shocked if you didn't get accepted. I don't care what TCAT says about their being "100's" of applicants applying for their LPN...

  10. New LPN grad quickly becoming discouraged

    TennesseeNurseToB replied to Khope1's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If you have come to the decision for whatever reason that a client needed hospitalization, you did the right thing by calling an ambulance FIRST. Your employer isn't a doctor & even if they were,...

  11. Northwest Technical Institute - Does anyone have information about their PN program

    TennesseeNurseToB replied to TennesseeNurseToB's topic in School, College Programs

    Its amazing that this school is known for having a 99% pass rate but so little is known about the PN program. I can't even find any online posts about it except for

    TennesseeNurseToB replied to TennesseeNurseToB's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    So what happens if I get accepted into a CRNA program & the "doctorate degree" mandate takes place the first year I'm in the program? Do I then have to pursue all those additional educational...

  15. What steps do I need to take to become a CRNA?

    TennesseeNurseToB replied to TennesseeNurseToB's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm in the Memphis area but the school I'm attending is about 50 miles away (in a very small town). I chose to drive the distance because I didn't like the location of the LPN school in Memphis. Its...

    TennesseeNurseToB replied to TennesseeNurseToB's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist
