   Hi! I'm getting ready to send in my application.. last minute. I was planning on applying for the winter class but due to timing issues am trying to get in my app for the fall class. I'm super nervous! I hear they have a 50/50 acceptance rate. It's t...

3. Capstone confusion.. help!

   PaigeAlayne replied to PaigeAlayne's topic in General Students

   Thank you for all of that. It was what I needed to hear. I emailed my instructor and told her to keep everything as is, but added that I would be willing to travel to a couple of rural hospitals that are also available. I'm sure she thinks I lost my ...

4. Paralyzing Fear!!!

   PaigeAlayne replied to rlpmnp's topic in General Students

   Hi! I am just beginning my final semester and know how you are feeling. They seem way more daunting than they actually are. It's true that your school may provide more complex problems than mine did but as a general rule, once you figure out what the...

5. Capstone confusion.. help!

   PaigeAlayne replied to PaigeAlayne's topic in General Students

   Unfortunately, they handed us the sheet Friday to pick and said to have it back to them by 5, so I am definitely cutting it close if I decide to change, if that is still a possibility. After sleeping on it, having a panic attack, and waking up feelin...

6. Capstone confusion.. help!

   PaigeAlayne replied to PaigeAlayne's topic in General Students

   Some people call it their practicum or preceptorship? Basically we pick one unit, and are paired with 1 nurse for 90 hours. It is like our final clinical!

7. Capstone confusion.. help!

   PaigeAlayne replied to PaigeAlayne's topic in General Students

   Thank you! MANY of my classmates have inserted foleys and IV's. I really have had some unlucky days where either the opportunities weren't available, or I was giving a bed bath only to walk out and see my nurse had started an IV on another pt. And ye...

8. Final semester panic mode in 3, 2, 1

   PaigeAlayne replied to LoriRNCM's topic in General Students

   I truly, truly feel your pain. In fact, I have really let my anxiety get the best of me and I need to snap out of it! I am also in my final semester and am feeling the crushing pressure. We just had to pick our capstone placement and I have been doub...

9. Capstone confusion.. help!

   PaigeAlayne replied to PaigeAlayne's topic in General Students

   I know you're right, and I am not deadset on working in any specialty yet. Honestly, I have most enjoyed my clinicals outside the hospital. I really liked community, hospice, and am most looking forward to my short mental health rotation this semeste...

10. Capstone confusion.. help!

    PaigeAlayne posted a topic in General Students

    Hi guys, I am a 25 year old senior nursing student beginning my final semester. I am overwhelmed at the moment and seeking advice. I have been a long time lurker but decided maybe getting involved in the boards would connect me with other students de...

11. JCCC RN program

    PaigeAlayne replied to Charesa's topic in Kansas

    Sounds like we are in the same boat. Though I have a sort of plan B, I really don't have anything set. I am 21, and took a year off of school after high school to figure out what I wanted. I worked at a nursing home for a year, fell in love with the ...

12. JCCC RN program

    PaigeAlayne replied to Charesa's topic in Kansas

    Edewalt, may I ask what your plan B is? Will you wait and apply again next year? I won't be applying to JCCC again, I suppose I will pursue a BSN. I don't want to wait another year to apply to a 2 year program. It's frustrating competeing with 4.0 G...

13. JCCC RN program

    PaigeAlayne replied to Charesa's topic in Kansas

    I also didn't get an interview, disappointed but not crushed. I definitely wasn't holding out hope. I hold a 3.5 GPA and got a 25 on my science reasoning, not top notch but I am happy with it. So, on to plan B. Congrats to all of you!

    PaigeAlayne replied to Charesa's topic in Kansas

    Hi again! Still no letter! Nervous but not getting my hopes up, I know there are a lot of qualified applicants but not very many spots. Let me know when you hear something!

15. Reality Check for Nursing Hopefuls

    PaigeAlayne replied to DedHedRN's topic in Pre-Nursing

    You seem horribly unhappy and burned out. Perhaps you should find a new job. And by the way, calling LTC "lowly" is a despicable thing to do. I am a pre-nursing student and plan on going into LTC. It is not a "lowly" job nor a "lowly" place to live.
