1. JOBS?

   TRCCnurse2be replied to STL2008, RN's topic in Missouri

   I graduated December 2011 and got my RN license in January......2 interviews at the hospital and no job.....no experience= FRUSTRATION. I even did my clinical rotation at the hospital that claimed they were trying to recruit new grads and they only h...

2. Rn's are better than lpn's???

   TRCCnurse2be replied to lisa41rn's topic in LTC Directors

   I am not sure how an LPN can have authority over a RN. I live in Missouri and the State Board of Nursing clearly states that an LPN works under the direct supervision of a RN. I have no trouble asking an LPN for advice, and I value the judgment and e...

3. Rn's are better than lpn's???

   TRCCnurse2be replied to lisa41rn's topic in LTC Directors

   I am an RN working in a LTC facility for now.....until I finish my BSN in June and then I plan to work as nurse in Oncology. I work with some awesome LPNs and have learned a lot from them. However, a few seem to think because they have years of expe...

4. Golden Living Centers

   TRCCnurse2be replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in LTC Directors

   Platypus....I could have written your message lol.....I too was having trouble finding a job as a new grad and Golden Living gave me a job as an RN supervisor. Like you, I was terrified because I just graduated and was green as could be in nursing. A...

   TRCCnurse2be replied to RyanL2's topic in Uniform/Gear

   This is probably too late of an answer, but I found all white Nike Shocks at Hibbet's sporting goods.

7. Second Year of Nursing school

   TRCCnurse2be replied to TRCCnurse2be's topic in Missouri

   Thanks! I just worry because I "hear" that the Med/Sur instructor is much tougher than the other instructors, which I find hard to believe. All of my instructors have been fair but tough. I wouldn't want it any other way though, I don't want to slide...

8. The Nursing Math Thread

   TRCCnurse2be replied to Tweety's topic in General Students

   I use the DA method for almost all of my med math problems. It is the best thing I could have learned in pharm. Thanks for posting this!

9. The Nursing Math Thread

   TRCCnurse2be replied to Tweety's topic in General Students

   I also used this book and it helped, however it was very similiar to the book we used in class. I think having been blessed with my awesome instructor is what helped me the most. That woman really went above and beyond to help us. I will always be gr...

10. What makes Nursing school hard?

    TRCCnurse2be replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in General Students

    For me it is the time I have to sacrifice with my family. I don't think the course itself is too awful, and our textbooks are pretty easy to understand. I think I am pretty good in science and decent in math and I will be the first to admit that nurs...

11. Second Year of Nursing school

    TRCCnurse2be posted a topic in Missouri

    Hi all! I will start my 2nd year of nursing school soon. So far, the first year has been challenging but manageable. We covered Fundamentals and then Ob/Peds. Some students think this is equivelent to LPN school, and it may very well be, I have not b...

    TRCCnurse2be replied to TRCCnurse2be's topic in Missouri

    thanks for your reply and advice! I am actually doing much better than I anticipated. I graduated from high shool in 1988 so I was pretty scared to go back to school. I am making A' and B's but I know it is because I have great instructors that facil...

13. TRCC Poplar Bluff MO A&P II

    TRCCnurse2be replied to MOJoeDirt's topic in Missouri

    I am in the nursing program and I will also be in that class. I have heard he is a good instructor, most people seem to like him well enough. I loved my other instructor, but with my nursing classes I can't take her class this semester for A&P I...

14. MEDS leanring System-RN

    TRCCnurse2be replied to TRCCnurse2be's topic in General Students

    thanks so much for the encouragement! I got my books so I am going to start going over them. Fortunately, my husband is a math whiz so if I get stuck he will help me out. Thanks again!

15. MEDS leanring System-RN

    TRCCnurse2be replied to TRCCnurse2be's topic in General Students

    Thanks! Well, if the nursing math is similiar to the chemistry math I should do fine. I ended up with a 98% in Chemistry and found it odd that I did better than many people who took College Algebra did. I have not taken college algebra yet, just the ...
