  1. Should I Stay or Should I Go?

    Commuter, Yes, I did apply at Cook's and was passed over. I am in no way suggesting that I am a rock star, I've got A LOT to learn and will continue to learn throughout my career, but I have been a bit surpised that I have been passed up considering...
  2. Should I Stay or Should I Go?

    I am finishing my LVN/RN bridge program next week and I am really struggling with my move from here. I have been practicing for 10 years with 6 months in tele/med/surg and 9 1/2 years in pediatric home health. As crazy as it may sound, I'd like to go...
  3. Dear new grad...

    I just finished bridging from LVN to RN. I have been in pediatric home health for 9 years. I am absolutely passionate about what I do. While explaining exactly what phh is, the person I was speaking to said: "Oh, like babysitting only the kid is sick...
  4. Last Day of Clinical!

    Althought it was 10 years ago, I remember how much we all needed that break. We took our Neuro exam the last day before the holiday and the average was like 70. We were all already on break in our minds! Recharge and enjoy the holiday break!
  5. What is your schedule like?

    You can do it! I was a single mother of a 3 year old with very little help with my child or finances. It was the most demanding year of my life but well worth the sacrifice. My schedule was lecture 2 days a week from 0830-1530 and clinical 3 days a w...
  6. Final Semester - Not going well

    Our entire class feels, or has felt, exactly the way you do. The testing average was in the 70s this semester and many were very worried about passing. I think we're all in good shape. I need a 21 on my final to pass and a 71 to keep my B. It'll all ...
  7. What happened to my brain?

    We all have our moments. Being a great nurse is more than making an A on a test. I'm not a great test taker and I find that I read too much into questions when they are easy. I sometimes look at my answers and wonder what the heck I was thinking. Du...
  8. how long did you wait to go from LPN to RN?

    I waited 6 years to go back. As soon as I felt comfortable with him staying home alone for more than just a couple of hours, I started. Most LPN/RN progrmas require 1 year work as a LPN, at least the three I looked at in my area did, but I understood...
  9. Collin College Spring 2013 applicants

    I survived as well. It's a big committment and takes serious dedication. Don't be hard on yourself or GPA obsessed. I saw a lot of this during the two semesters it took me to complete the program. Remediating or getting a B or C isn't the end of the ...
  10. Collin College Spring 2013 applicants

    I am finishing the program in less than two weeks and can safely say that I will not miss the uniforms. As not.done.yet said, they are thick which is both a blessing and a curse. I only had to do half of the program, but I can say that they didn't re...
  11. Collin College Fall 2011

    CollinNursing2013, Do not feel like a terrible Mother for asking your mother to help with your child while you get an education to not only offer you a better life but, your child as well. Please don't see it as "giving" your child up. You are gettin...
