   rbezemek, I really like your 3 categories of organizing. I am going to try that on Saturday. I'm already dreading the weekend. I'm trying to stay positive, but jeesh! it's hard when all you do is mess up! I think this category thing may just wor...

   Thanks for your posts. I have been thinking about what Julielpn said, and you are right, I'm not drowning, I'm new. I need to give myself a break and a little credit for the things I do right. I can't think of any at the moment (oh wait, I remembe...

   I am a new second career nurse, just graduated in August and passed NCLEX last week. I have been working on a pediatric CICU step-down for about 5 weeks. I did my capstone (internship) on a CICU unit with adults and did great. My job started out g...

   bsngrad2be replied to bsngrad2be's topic in Hospice

   Thank you so much. I've really been thinking about this today and I want to do the right thing for my patients as well as for my family. I had a thought that I can't get out of my head while cooking dinner of all things. If I do a year of Critical...

   I am going to graduate soon and thought I wanted to go to the ICU-until today. Today I followed a hospice nurse as part of my clincial rotation and loved it. Loved it. I liked being able to take the time to visit with the patients instead of rushin...

   bsngrad2be replied to IndianapolisNurse's topic in Louisiana

   Hi! We lived in Shreveport/Bossier several years ago and loved it. The food is outstanding and the people, for the most part, are very, very friendly. I had my son at WKBossier and couldn't have been happier with the care I received. Then, when he...

   I LOVE KALISPELL! Unfortunately, I don't live there but my Dad, 2 brothers and sister do. My husbands job won't transfer to that area so we are in the midwest which I also love but miss my family. Have you moved yet? My dad was in KRMC last sept...

    I talked to a friend of mine this morning who took him last semester for Morality in Healthcare and she said he wasn't her favorite but he wasn't the worst either. She said it's a pretty easy class you just have to be there; that's his big thing. S...

    bsngrad2be replied to SA2BDOCTOR's topic in Missouri

    I haven't. I would really like to get on with OPRMC or Menorah if possible. I live close to both. I have a friend who is a PA and does rotations at Research and loves the hospital. Is that where you think you'd like to work? They've been around ...

    bsngrad2be replied to SA2BDOCTOR's topic in Missouri

    I'm taking him this semester as well, Morality in Healthcare or something like that. I haven't heard great things about him either. I have heard that if you miss even one class it could drop you an entire letter grade. That worries me a little. N...

    Good luck to you! I'm jealous. I'm so ready to be done with all this pre-req crap and get on with it! Hey, did you take any classes with McInerny (sp?) at RU? I've heard he's, shall we say, moody? Any thoughts?
