1. Panel Interview for NICU Residency

   em96 replied to neyya15's topic in NICU

   My interview was mainly behavioral questions since it was a new grad interview! I was asked: Why did you want to become a nurse? Why do you want to work in NICU? If you see a coworker doing something unsafe/breaking policy what do you do? Describe yo...

2. First injection mistake

   em96 replied to Newstudent4's topic in General Students

   I think you're okay, no need to say anything. One nurse I followed never swabbed the skin before insulin injections because she said diabetics never do that when they're at home. I don't know if that's true or not, but the risk of harm from not clean...

3. GN Residency Texas Health Resources- February 2019

   em96 replied to Hallie_renae's topic in Post Graduate

   It's for OR which doesn't have a specific location. Apparently we rotate around until we get hired to a specific hospital, which is interesting! I think it's a good sign for those of you who haven't been rejected yet- I have a feeling the other speci...

5. Student Nurse Social Awkwardness

   em96 replied to SNgirl21's topic in General Students

   If it makes you feel better, I am in my last semester of school and pretty confident in my skills, and I still get nervous for simulations. I always feel so awkward and I really dread them. I'm totally fine talking to real patients, but simulations j...

6. Any success stories for getting in Texas BSN Program with 3.0-3.25 Science GPA?

   em96 replied to ImposterSyndromeRN's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I go to nursing school at UTA! One of my good friends was accepted with a 3.0 science GPA. I don't know what her overall GPA was but she had 2 considerations. So yes, it is possible to still be accepted here. The spring semester isn't as competitive ...

7. I'm too afraid to do anything in the clinical setting

   em96 replied to CurrentlyCrying's topic in General Students

   My advice is "fake it 'til you make it!" Why do you feel like it must be "extremely awkward" for your female patients? I don't think it is. Especially for just a quick 5-min assessment. The patients are used to being asked questions and having their ...

8. Nervous for clinical

   em96 replied to Siudzm's topic in General Students

   It's normal to be nervous! I was super anxious when I started clinicals, and I still get nervous when I'm going to a new rotation (I'm finishing up my first year in my BSN program). I didn't have any bedside experience when I started and most people ...

9. UTA Spring 2017

   em96 replied to Callmebritt08's topic in School Programs

   When I took the HESI last year we were not allowed to leave between sections. And yes you get to use the calculator on the screen for the math portion, you just can't bring your own calculator from home

10. UTA Spring 2017

    em96 replied to Callmebritt08's topic in School Programs

    No, I can't figure it out at all:down: I emailed both the assistant and my advisor but I doubt I'll get a response today. Hopefully someone else will chime in and tell us how to do it.

11. UTA Spring 2017

    em96 replied to Callmebritt08's topic in School Programs

    Congratulations everyone, I was accepted today as well! I'm also confused by the response form. It won't let me continue unless i check that I failed patho/pharm or that I am an international student, and neither apply to me...
