   Thank you Flames! I don't know what seems more painful, looking for a mentor and the process that goes along with that or the capstone itself.

   Thank you for taking the time to answer, 4mranch! This is the first time I hear a clear explanation of the immersion hours. I suspected it would be like something you described, but heard everything from "it will be like a clinical" to "you'll have t...

   4mranch, congratulations on reaching the capstone course, hope it goes fast and smooth for you. Could you talk a little about the mentor and the immersion hours tracking? I have seven courses before that begins for me but was wondering how that works...

4. What's wrong with me?

   FanRN replied to New Horizon's topic in General Students

   This worked for me. I covered the answers with my hand or scratch paper if allowed and only looked at them after I read the question and had an idea of the possible answers in my head. And like others suggested, don't erase or overthink, even when yo...

5. I am a new grad and can't wait to get out of orientation!

   FanRN replied to CRC12's topic in New Nurse

   This!! Maybe talk to her and tell her you'd like to try to organize your day on your own to test some of your independent skills but seek input to not come off as someone that is hastily confident. Some hospitals have 6 months orientations or longer,...

6. New to ED, not a new nurse though...

   FanRN replied to Jamie34NY's topic in Emergency

   I second what everyone else said, stay positive and keep doing what you are doing. Don't let it change who you are. Could be also that they are "initiating" you and will come around in time. That happens everywhere, not just in healthcare setting. O...

7. Are nurse's all that and a bag of chips?

   FanRN replied to Nash3222's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you for addressing this. I'm still in nursing school but every semester we have these self-centered, self-sacrificial, "look-at-me" shirts promoted to raise funds for the pinning. Each semester puts out a few variations so every six months we h...

   Congratulations Lexis! I'm not in a project arriba, but I know quite a few that are. Do you have a specific question or just want to know the general info? I can try to put you in touch with someone from my class, but I'll have to ask for their permi...

   FanRN replied to majicmaid's topic in Texas

   You are welcome. I believe it has to do with everyone officially accepting the seats and the school has to cross check everything several times. Calling Mrs Cena for clarification is the best bet. If she doesn't know, no one else really does :) Good ...

    And yes, background check is online, only fingerprinting is in person.

    FanRN replied to majicmaid's topic in Texas

    We couldn't get fingerprints until after the orientation. All the forms and directions were given to us on that day last summer and that orientation date varies every year (sometime in July). That date should be on the acceptance letter you receive i...

    Oh great, when I was researching the kits I came across that company but wasn't sure that's the right one. Good to know, thanks!! Let me switch to a computer and I'll send you a link to the group.

    The orientation packet says that the supply kits information will be provided on the first day of class. Seems like they are revising almost everything this month, including the nursing packets that we have to purchase in the addition to the books. B...
