1. Which areas in hospital least physically demanding?

   Mrs Future RN replied to TinyDancer01's topic in General Nursing

   Postpartum/Mommy Baby I have maybe 1 night a month that's crazy, but for the most part, it's not bad.

2. What is your favorite specialty of nursing? (ER, MedSurg, ICU, Pediatrics, etc.)

   Mrs Future RN replied to LindseyPar's topic in General Nursing

   I guess that's the advantage of living in the south. The pay isn't the best, but even as a new grad you can pick whatever specialty/shift you want, even with an ADN. My ADN class got jobs in OR, ED, trauma ICU and everything in between. Now they are ...

3. Tired of jumping jobs, does anyone like her job?

   Mrs Future RN replied to rearviewmirror's topic in General Nursing

   Mommy/Baby in a non high risk facility. I think there has been 1 code in the past six years on my floor and NICU handles the infant should something go wrong with them. Most moms are young and healthy, even after a c-section, they are up and walking ...

4. Your FAVORITE job

   Mrs Future RN replied to chacha82's topic in General Nursing

   I love my job in the well baby nursery. I know a lot of places don't have these anymore, so I'm lucky to have a job in one.

5. Bishop state fall '16

   Mrs Future RN replied to Teedyp25's topic in Alabama

   Are you sure you're thinking of the right school. Bishop had some troubles maybe 10 years ago, but their NCLEX pass rate is 3rd in our area. They had a better pass rate then South Alabama and University of Mobile last year. Nursing Education Programs...

6. Bishop state fall '16

   Mrs Future RN replied to Teedyp25's topic in Alabama

   I'm in my last semester. Don't know what the cutoff was. I had 185 points. I know some had around 150, but it really depends on how many people are applying. This was for the spring, so the cutoff was a lot lower then what it is in the Fall.

   I believe you have to take the ACT now.

8. How to Survive Your First Semester of Nursing School: Things I Wish People Had Told Me

   Mrs Future RN replied to createddaisy's topic in General Students

   I'm going into my final semester with 2 children (5 & 7). My best advice is to make sure you have backup babysitters, errand runners, and support. Schedule your study time at a time when you know they will be away or sleeping. Always make sure to...

9. When are you going to get your NP?

   Mrs Future RN replied to LPNtoRNin2016OH's topic in General Students

   Oh my, this just reminded me of earlier this semester when I was in clinical with my instructor (MSN) and an old coworker of hers asked her when she was going back for her doctorates. I didn't think about it in that way until I looked at this post. S...

10. Nursing Students - How often do you complain to your significant other?

    Mrs Future RN replied to 757RN's topic in General Students

    AGREED X100 with the previous post. I learned half way through the first semester that only your classmates or previous nursing students truly know what you're going through. My husband is a college grad, he knows the frustrations of college, so when...

11. Faulkner State Community College

    Mrs Future RN replied to Deer2013's topic in Alabama

    Hahaha, I'm close by the airport, so about 46 miles each way. The problem with Mobile is that it's becoming very time consuming to get from West Mobile to the interstate. I know a few people who live by me and attend Faulkner, the only thing they don...

12. Faulkner State Community College

    Mrs Future RN replied to Deer2013's topic in Alabama

    It states: Minimum GPA of 2.75 in all pre-requisite courses Minimum University GPA of 2.5 I didn't even have the minimum university GPA . I played around back then, but I think things still worked out. Faulkner would have been a total of 100 miles da...

13. Faulkner State Community College

    Mrs Future RN replied to Deer2013's topic in Alabama

    I would have rather done South, but I knew my GPA from years ago would have kept me from getting in. Faulkner would have been my second choice (I actually got into the program), but the commute was an inconvenience. By default I ended up at Bishop. ...

14. Faulkner State Community College

    Mrs Future RN replied to Deer2013's topic in Alabama

    Bishop has such a low retention rate going from 1st to 2nd block. Only 7 of the 34 students that was in our 1st block of courses made it to the 2nd, by 3rd block there were only 4 of us from our original group. I'm ok with the program at Bishop so f...

15. Faulkner State Community College

    Mrs Future RN replied to Deer2013's topic in Alabama

    I'm in my first semester now. From what I heard (nurses in my family and friends), ASN don't have a problem finding jobs in our area. The hardest place to get hired would be USA hospitals, but even that's possible. All others are very accepting of AS...
