Really? No Knoxville nurses? That's okay though- I finally had some luck and have some interviews scheduled. If anyone else is job hunting around Knoxville, I highly recommend Covenant Health. The recruiters have been awesome- they are great about...
I recently graduated from an ADN program and got my license, and I will be moving to the Knoxville area soon. I have not had much luck with job hunting so far- does anyone have any advice for finding a job around Knoxville? I have applied with Cove...
Does anyone know about the pediatric RN Internship program at LeBonheur Children's hospital in Memphis? Like how to apply, qualifications and all of that. I will be graduating from an ASN program soon and I would LOVE to work there someday, but I h...

Thank you boyfactory! That is really reassuring :-) And here I've been freaking out about it...you'd think I would know better than to rely on the rumor mill for accurate info. My dream job would be to work at LeBonheur and I was absolutely crushed...

I took micro at Southwest and had a great experience. It's not an easy class by any means, but our class size was pretty small (about 20 students- I took it in the summer) and the teacher was great- very one-on-one. I don't know about U of M, but I...

That's probably what I will end up doing. I plan on really really trying to find a job after graduation, but if I don't have any luck after a few months of job hunting, I'll go ahead and start on my BSN. I really need to be working though... pay th...

I will be graduating from an ASN program in December, and that had been my thinking. I figured I would get a job and then continue my education, but I'm starting to wonder if I made a big mistake and should have just gone straight for a BSN. I ...
I was having problems remembering all the rounding rules, so I mad this cheat sheet... hope it helps! :-) Injections: When giving more than 1 mL: Calculate to the hundredth and round to the tenth: 1.26 mL = give 1.3 mL 1.75 ...
Well $35 isn''t too bad- I was thinking it'd be a lot more. Thats actually cheaper than any of the other things. I'm taking the "CPR/AED for the Professional Rescuer and Health Care Provider or Lifeguard" class at the red cross- http://www.midsouth...
I know we have to have our physical (my appt is tomorrow), and CPR certification (doing that saturday) and background check (I did the mybackgroundcheck.com one) all before orientation- does anyone know anything about the drug test? Does that have t...
Congratulations to you both!!! It feels good to know that you guys are as excited as I am :-) Jenn- that's terrible- I really hope you can work something out. I've heard of so many people who have had problems with hospital employers not wanting to ...
I got a call today- I'm in!!! I wasn't expecting to hear from them yet- I'm so excited! SO hang in there- everyone should start to get their acceptance calls.... finally...
Same here! I think I have a pretty good chance of being accepted, but you never know... SWTCC was the only program that I applied to, so if I don't get in I'll be absolutely devestated (I'm sure everyone feels that way too) But yeah- November is tak...
You should look into Southwest Community College- that's where I've been taking my pre-reqs. They have open acceptance and will help you figure out what your skills levels are and what courses would be appropriate to get you on your way. Plus, it's...
Anyone applying for Spring 2010? I just turned in my application for the program at Southwest Tennessee Community college- now I just have to sit back and wait... The anticipation is killing me!!
