   Did I already screw up my nursing career?

   Brooke2009 replied to Nursing2019BSN's topic in General Nursing

   I recently went through a similar experience as a new grad. I had 7 preceptors in my first 6 shifts of orientation on an extremely busy surgical floor at a large teaching hospital. It was insane and my anxiety was through the roof. I was honestly t...

   Brooke2009 replied to Amanda J's topic in Disabilities

   I think, as long as you do all you can to get and stay healthy, that you can do this if it’s what you truly want. Nursing school is stressful, but some feel it’s much worse than others do. I was an older student, recently divorced and raising a 9 y...

   Va Hiring Process 2019

   Brooke2009 replied to futurecrnasla's topic in Government

   Now you see why veterans get so upset and discouraged. It’s the same for them when they try to seek care through the VA. The lack of communication is frightening, paperwork continuous gets lost, one person doesn’t know what the person standing next...

   breakups & nursing school

   Brooke2009 replied to jamielerae's topic in General Students

   I'm sorry about your breakup. It will be hard at times, and the anxiety is not fun to deal with, but yes, I think you can definitely do it, and you will. Have faith. A 4.5 year relationship breakup isn't something to scoff at, and leaving your dog (...

   They have a new point system; the advisor you spoke with may not have know that as this was the first year it was implemented. I was told at the drop-in that with the new system, 12-14 points should be competitive, but I'd try for the higher end of...

   Male Student in OB Rotation

   Brooke2009 replied to dreblanco's topic in General Students

   Don't give up hope. I had nursing students in the room for 2 out of 3 of my deliveries, and while there were no male students, I would have been perfectly fine with them if there were. By the time I was ready to deliver, I wouldn't have cared if a ...

    I received mine today. We have until April 14th to respond. I was told that after that date, when all of the responses are in, they'll start going down the list calling others for open seats.

    Mine says fall - don't panic mzo, people often apply to more than one school and not everyone takes a spot, so something may open up for you in the accelerated program. Is everyone as nervous and excited as I am?!

    Just checked mine and it changed to Nursing (RN), too!!!! Praying we get confirmation letters this weekend or early next week to be sure, but I'd say if your status has changed, you're in! �� And I thought I was nervous before! Now the real panic...
