1. Memorial Hermann Summer 2016 Residency

   sweetsthrnsass replied to ms.simone's topic in Texas

   I think if you didn't get a second Children's NICU interview on the first Match Day, then you're out. Not sure they'll contact everyone that didn't get a second interview though.

2. Clinical classmates hate me

   sweetsthrnsass replied to emilylizj's topic in General Students

   And also, don't worry about the nurses. They will see your actions and knowledge, and write those girls off. It happens to the best of us. :)

3. Clinical classmates hate me

   sweetsthrnsass replied to emilylizj's topic in General Students

   I feel like one of the biggest issues here is that your classmates are speaking negatively about you in front of your professor. Don't get me wrong, they shouldn't be treating you like that, but your professor shouldn't be condoning the behavior.

4. Clipping nails at nurse's station

   sweetsthrnsass replied to BillieP's topic in General Nursing

   Lol I'm not okay with farting either! But definitely not morally outraged. Just super disgusted with it all hahaha.

5. I feel like nursing school didn't prepare me for work

   sweetsthrnsass replied to Gem1984's topic in LPN/LVN

   I meant there wasn't enough space for all the nursing students so shifts were being cut in half or shortened. The newer classes haven't even made it into the hospital yet. And I'm not sure why I've had more opportunities. It seems weird that you have...

6. Anyone Attended a Night RN Program with a Newborn?

   sweetsthrnsass replied to peachshan's topic in General Students

   My best friend had a baby in the middle of nursing school (full time) with a four year old as well. She didn't have family close by, just her husband and me. It's totally doable!

7. New Nurse feeling very down

   sweetsthrnsass replied to RNthenDoc's topic in PICU

   Lol sorry I should clarify. I'm not exhausted right away, just towards the late afternoon. Which I guess is normal but maybe it just takes some getting used to. Maybe I can compromise with yoga in my days off!

8. New grad NICU nurse

   sweetsthrnsass replied to sweetsthrnsass's topic in NICU

   It's an extremely competitive speciality! I'm certain ms.simone can agree since we just both got hired together at Children's Memorial Hermann in Houston. There's a lot of great hospitals for NICU in Texas! Start doing your research now!

9. New Nurse feeling very down

   sweetsthrnsass replied to RNthenDoc's topic in PICU

   In a probably extremely unrelated note: I have dealt with difficult preceptors in the past (in nursing school) and you mentioned yoga/gym before work. HOW DO PEOPLE DO THIS PLEASE TELL ME. Like I've tried the gym thing before class/after class and I'...

10. I feel like nursing school didn't prepare me for work

    sweetsthrnsass replied to Gem1984's topic in LPN/LVN

    Just to clarify, are you talking about practicing skills in a lab or real patients? I had so many opportunities to start IVs and insert foleys and then some on real patients and the hospitals in my area are already stretched thin with nursing student...

11. L&D nurses in Austin

    sweetsthrnsass replied to Katie71275's topic in Texas

    I am from Austin and don't have kids, but have only heard good things about the hospitals there! The ones that come to mind, and I highly recommend you looking into further, are Seton, St. David's, and Baylor Scott & White. Those are the hospital...

12. New grad NICU nurse

    sweetsthrnsass replied to sweetsthrnsass's topic in NICU

    Thanks for your response, Linda. I've looked into other certifications and plan to become STABLE certified, but am curious on your (or anyone's) opinion regarding CCRN or RNC. Which is better or more appropriate? Or are both acceptable?

13. Male student nurse interviewing for Postpartum..

    sweetsthrnsass replied to kingvonnBSN2017's topic in Ob/Gyn

    While I personally wouldn't be comfortable with a male postpartum nurse OR a male OB/GYN, I am so excited for you! You definitely seem passionate and that will really show through to your patients. Good luck!

14. Who is finding nursing school way easier than you were told it would be?

    sweetsthrnsass replied to SayNoTo DNC's topic in Arizona

    I was told my second semester with patho and pharm would be the worst and while the content was most difficult, this current (and last) semester of nursing school has been the hardest. It isn't even hard classes, just a lot of clinicals and a lot of ...

15. The future for RNs?

    sweetsthrnsass replied to nURse_dEZi's topic in Activism

    Well I feel way better for not having a clue what that was lol. Thanks!
