1. Dying to become an ICU RN!!!

   tine14 replied to ShortyLS's topic in MICU

   I am a new grad RN about to start in ICU. I asked the nurse manager how many positions were open on her unit- at the time of my interview: 2 new grads and 3 experienced. She told me point blank that she prefers new grads b/c they are trainable and ex...

2. Clinical Post Conference

   tine14 replied to lansgrl123's topic in General Students

   As a student with a 12 hr clinical, I am in support of post-conference. It is actually built into our clinical time and our instructor changes it according to what we need to discuss that particular day. It usually runs about 1 hour. A couple of sele...

   tine14 replied to havehope's topic in General Students

   Two of my favs... I get up every morning determined to both change the world and to have one hell of a good time. Sometimes, this makes planning the day difficult. --E.B. White Be not afraid of growing slowly, be afraid only of standing still. --Chin...

4. To own a pet or not while in nursing school...

   tine14 replied to kroyce's topic in General Students

   I have to agree that a new (young) animal probably isn't the best choice for now. I, personally, would never own a cat so an older dog could work for you. I adopted a lab puppy in May at 6 weeks, she's now 6 months. I started nursing school in Aug...

   tine14 replied to Jrivet5's topic in Texas

   I think I've lost my mind. I got my email last week (Thursday) and only saw it today because someone called to see if I had received it. [i do a lot of email forwarding-- long story]. I cannot believe I did that. Also, signed up for La Porte EMS CPR...

7. What type of RN do you wanna be?

   tine14 replied to reeta116's topic in General Students

   I have a lot of experience with kids so I'm thinking Peds, but in the far, far future, I ultimately see myself either teaching or doing research.

8. I'mXYZ and I'm gonna be a CRNA! Oh really? Me too! My orientation experience.

   tine14 replied to StangGang92's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Let me put it this way- I overheard a girl say she wanted to be a CRNA, but she admitted she couldn't pronounce anesthetist.

   tine14 replied to tacman66's topic in Texas

   @kstar101- I found that emailing the advisor was the best way to communicate with her. Definitely request to make an appt, there are usually people waiting outside her door. I had an appt but let her finish up with the people who were ahead of me wai...

    tine14 replied to tacman66's topic in Texas

    @skygyrl: Thanks for sharing about COM. I don't know anyone who currently goes there. The reason why I was leaning towards SJC was b/c that is where I completed my pre-reqs and I'm quite familiar with them. Knowing that COM has a great team in place ...

    @michelle2841 Thanks! @skygyrl Added you as a friend, hope you don't mind! p.s. saw you in the other thread for SJC... I really wish they had sent out acceptance/denial emails by now b/c that was my other choice. I just called COM to see if I could ...

13. At what age did you decide on nursing?

    tine14 replied to Wan2BRN's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I'm 25 as well. Single, no kids. I went to university after high school and came out with a few too many good stories and not much else except a low GPA [studying sociology, with a few health-related courses]. Worked with non-profits for a couple of ...

    Re: References for UTMB Are references supposed to write and submit letters of recommendation or are they only listed in the application with their information? I've heard conflicting information. Online nowhere does it say they NEED to send in lette...
