  1. "Fighting" Cancer

    Firstly, I am surprised that you do not understand the tone of my posting. There is no anger, no resentment, no lack of empathy, and I am currently in the running for a hospital-wide compassion award. As I said, that was my $0.02. You don't have to a...
  2. "Fighting" Cancer

    I've worked on a Medical-Oncology floor for 9 months now...long enough to have developed a very deep and sincere pet peeve. To me, it is worse than nails on a chalkboard, squeaky glass, or the voice of Gilbert Gottfried... I cannot stand to hear s...
  3. Senior RN Student w/ Jealous Husband!!!

    Hey hun, I'm coming from a very similar situation here... I had about 7 months left to my RN program when my husband decided I was cheating on him with another nursing student. I suffered severe psychological and emotional abuse, not to mention the f...
  4. A Word of Advice for New Grads...

    I finished the TCC nursing program last October, graduated in December. Since then, I have been applying left and right to jobs all over Hampton Roads, with no luck. Jobs are plentiful, IF you are an experienced RN...which makes things a little diffi...
  5. Just checking in to find out how you guys are all doing. Where are you in the progression of things? I've got the Summer and the first 8 weeks of the Fall semester to go, so TAKE HEART!!! There is light at the end of the tunnel If any of you need he...
  6. Cheapest school in Hampton Roads

    Admittedly, I'm a little biased, BUT for what it's worth... MCI is very overpriced and has a very high failure rate. The school and its representatives makes every effort to lure you with the fact that you will graduate quicker, but they neglect to i...
  7. Hey, be grateful Smith's is using Blackboard!!! My prof. for the class I just passed RARELY ever posted anything on Bb. She posted study guides towards the end of class, when it was already crunch time for the final!!! Smith likes blackboard, if I re...
  8. Sentara ED

    Thanks, both of you. Yeah...I'm not really counting my chx before they hatch, I just know where I will be going. I'm focused and have been working on this goal (with only a brief detour as a chef :icon_roll) since I was 14 (14 years). smn2009, where ...
  9. Sentara ED

    Hello all, I've recently decided to apply to Sentara after I graduate from TCC's RN program in December and I'd like some 411 about the work environment in the ED. Does Sentara require color-coded scrubs for personnel and if so, what for an RN? I hav...
  10. Yep. Fundamentals is 108. That's one of 2 classes that I believe go M - Th.
  11. Not generally. 'Cept in 108. I think 201 too...
  12. Teachers have different ways of running things, but generally speaking, you lecture from 8 or 8:20 until 2 or 2:30 with 1 30-45 minute lunch break and several smaller breaks in between. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. Some classes add a day, I've never...
  13. Not to my knowledge. It just a fresh rotation of students into 108 at the regular intervals: August, October, January, March. The only way to get into the program earlier is if students drop prior to the start of the semester. For example: I was orig...
  14. Each NUR class lasts 8 weeks. Until you get to your last semester, where you have some 16 wk classes. What do you mean, "after dismissal?" If you fail a nursing class, (correct me if I am mistaken Meriwhen) you have an additional 2 chances to pass th...
  15. Well, we lost several in the first couple of weeks of 108 because Nursing was either not for them or school was incompatible with their life. Since then, we've lost the others as a result of not passing classes. 3 in this class that we had over the s...
