Hey Missy! I have my NClex on Wednesday!!! and hopefully :crossfingers: I will be an RN by the time I start! I'm so looking forward to it! I know the night of July 11th I won't get any sleep due to the anxiety though. See ya there! Did you get a chance to shadow a shift? It's probably too late but I don't think it really matters. On the day of your physical be prepared to take your badge picture. I didn't know that I was to take my badge picture but I didn't want to drive another 45 minutes to go home and come back another day all spiffed up. So I went ahead and took it and it's HORRIBLE. The lady told me that when I get my RN to come back and that she would add it onto the badge. Hopefully I can just take a whole new pic!: Anyway see ya then

I know I will be nervous as heck too on the 11th. Badge photos always look horrible. So did you dress up professionally when you went in for your physical? I have mine on Wednesday too... But I know you will do great! Cya soon!

Missy, Started CTICU. It's pretty tough learning all the new things but what an awesome learning experience! I met another nurse that works on my unit who posts here too (what a small world!). Nights is hard, but I have a great preceptor! How's it going for you?

Just read your post today so I'm sure you already started...do they hire LPN's? If yes- which dept?

[pokey sn]

St. Rapheal does hire LPN for the floors, not for the units though. If you are interested, definitely apply. I think it's a pretty good place to work!

Relax, be yourself, and dont be afraid to ask questions and admit that you dont know something. I've worked for St R's AND been a patient there, and its a great hospital, good luck! Lisa

Most everyone has been wonderful as far as working with, and they are good with questions. An excellent learning environment...
