   ERNurseRN5316 replied to ERNurseRN5316's topic in Emergency

   Why I went to PICU? - well I applied for ED. Then I took the pediatric assessment test and did well so the recruiter suggested PICU. I thought it would be kinda like the ED just more intense. It's very different but I know how much money the departm...

   My problem happened in PICU. But I wanted to vent to you guys - I'll tell you why in a sec. I made a mistake and I feel so depressed I don't know what to do. I came on shift and had pt. supposed to go to the floor. He was on RA but from the moment I ...

   ERNurseRN5316 replied to BettyBoop01's topic in New Nurse

   Thanks jahra - I needed those encouraging words. Last night was good! I got put in urgent care instead of Main 1 where I am normally. It was great to deal with 4 and 5 acuity instead of all 1, 2 and 3's!! I had the time to do some excellent educati...

   My status is also blank. I'm so worried and discouraged. How many people are going for bachelor's and how many are going for associate degree? I'm in associate program and I heard they prefer bachelor so I was wondering. Also I'm EFC 0. I mean i...

   In state out of state tuition? What are they asking? So if you didn't get this e-mail I guess that means I wasn't selected? Did everyone get the e-mail? Thanks

11. does age REALLY matter?

    ERNurseRN5316 replied to pinkynbd_99's topic in General Nursing

    That post is really sad. After I had my 4th child (I had been a stay at home mom for 15 years!) I was 36 and didn't know what to do with my life. I felt it was "too late" for me to be a nurse. But I trolled this website for weeks looking at other...

    I'm in Georgia and they don't do waiting lists. You get in by your GPA or not at all! Yeah a private school must be really expensive! I hope you get the HRSA. I hope I get it too. My husband recently became incarcerated and if I don't get this s...
