1. 53 Yrs Old, No BSN and Feels Helpless

   Peachez1 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Nurse Beth

   I graduated with my ADN at 47. I went RIGHT back into school for my BSN the Aug after graduation because I knew what I wanted for my path and I knew that it required a BSN. I did my two years in Med-Surge and am now in NICU contemplating my MSN. I fi...

2. Trying to get into the ICU but no luck as a new grad

   Peachez1 replied to guest1076655's topic in General Nursing

   Graduated a year ago - if your willing to relocate there are hospitals that will hire you right into the ICU setting! (Mine does) Don’t settle unless you want to - two years can seem like an eternity if your not enjoying your work!

3. Trying to find job in West FL

   Peachez1 replied to Abby Samendinger's topic in Florida

   Hca offers StaRN for new grads (if your interested). BayCare is hard to get into but a decent system to work for. I applied for all the systems you listed and many out of state. I got replies from all of my out of state (and 3 job offers) before any ...

   Peachez1 replied to Brian S.'s topic in Announcements

   There are so many stories out there regarding COVID-19. My story is a simple one. I am a Med-Surge nurse that was floated up to the COVID-ICU during our peak time. I was there when one of my patients was whisked up from ER to the ICU. This patient w...

   I am a nurse that is new to the city of New Orleans. I arrived in September. It's been an amazing time here thus far. After Mardi Gras, which was absolutely amazing, rolled through I asked one of my native New Orleans patients; "So, now what happens...

6. How often do you wash your scrubs? :)

   Peachez1 replied to RNinheart's topic in General Nursing

   Similar question - Does anyone know how to take liquid fabric softener stains out of their scrubs (that they wash after each shift)? Currently my scrubs look like a blue ball point pen exploded on them - but I didn't wash any pens (this time). Sugge...

7. Does the shift matter, experience-wise? - New CNA

   Peachez1 replied to elliepark's topic in CNA/MA

   I don’t think the experience matters to what shift you are offered. I know at my facility they have a hard time staffing nights. If it’s the same at that one then you may be just fine. Good luck on your nursing journey!

   Peachez1 replied to MeredithGray's topic in School Programs

   While they do have you sign in with your student number for the workshops and extra learning opportunities - it’s not for any extra credit or anything like that. No points will be given for attending. It does help you study and hopefully get better g...

9. SPC Fall 2019

   Peachez1 replied to MeredithGray's topic in School Programs

   For first semester - READ what they tell you to read. ALL OF IT. All 19 chapters per test. Don't skip the boxes - some test questions come from those boxes and charts. Get yourself organized. Heck get an planner and keep ontop of things. If you have...

    Hi gang! Recent grad here. SPC truly does prepare you adequately for the NCLEX. I don't know of a single person in my graduating class that has failed. It's a GREAT school! It's going to be the hardest, most challenging, FUN ride you've been on yet....

    Any recently graduated Level 4 students still out there looking to offer help? (Beautiful pinning by the way!)

    Everything "disappears" for a few weeks inbetween semesters while they settle everything in and upload all the necessary documentation. It will "reappear" in a couple of weeks (usually the Friday before) the semester starts again on January 14th

    Any 4th level students out there watching?

14. SPC Nursing Fall 2018

    Peachez1 replied to ddeburger's topic in Florida

    So far (as I'm only in level 3) I've used most of the books in the package each semester. Level one you'll primarily use the Fundamentals one. Level 2 you'll primarily use the med surge book. But each text is used each semester for portions here and ...

    Peachez1 replied to ddeburger's topic in Florida

    As far as I can remember if you have proof of them that is all that matters. For myself my TDAP came from hospital records as I cut myself a few years prior and they gave me that in the ER. I sent that in and it was accepted. SO.. get your vacc recor...
