1. How long are we expected to have this "hiring freez for new grads"?

   violingirl replied to nina9's topic in General Students

   I had applied to several places in Minneapolis... thinking about moving up there. I just got a call today saying that they're not hiring any new grads this year at Children's... because of the economy. I think the freeze is definitely geographical. T...

2. Too young to be a nurse?

   violingirl replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

   I'll be 19 with my RN this year... I kind of like being the baby of the class. =P But yeah, don't let people run over you because of your age. Just think... the earlier we start the more we can learn! =)

3. Southeast Baptist Hospital

   violingirl replied to chocolateskye's topic in Texas

   Anything downtown and south of downtown is just kind of that way. I'm not sure about Northeast Methodist area... that's off of 35 and topperwein. Southeast is getting computer charting I think this week, which is before all of the other Baptist hospi...

4. Southeast Baptist Hospital

   violingirl replied to chocolateskye's topic in Texas

   Southeast Baptist is pretty small and old. The DON there is super nice though... Supposedly they're building a new hospital down there eventually. I had one of my clinical rotations there but I was only on the med-surg floor so I don't know much abou...

5. Former Baptist students?

   violingirl replied to myrose's topic in Texas

   Externships are easy to get if you get one right after the semester ends and the grads have given up their extern positions. They're hard to get a few weeks into the semester. It being a diploma is no biggie. It's actually viewed as slightly better t...

   May 09! First semester was awesome... only 3 to go. =) After this one we'll be half done! I'm in a 2 year diploma program.

7. Baptist School of Health Professions vs. SAC

   violingirl replied to texasmommy's topic in Texas

   Baptist is actually getting it changed over so the students will be rewarded with an associates degree by graduation. I'm not sure when exactly it will be changed, but I graduate in May of 09 and they said we'd probably have it by then... Even so, th...

10. Anyone LOSE WEIGHT in nursing school?

    violingirl replied to happydays352's topic in General Students

    Yeah, I've lost weight so far. Probably from moving away from mom's home food and also being more active than I used to be running around to classes and clinicals and all. And I think stress makes me lose weight.

11. Roll Call---How many start their RN this month!

    Me!! I'm getting a little nervous, but I'm so excited to go back to school again! I had half the summer off and it was so boring... I love being in school, haha! I'm weird. Orientation's the 22-24th, and classes start the 27th. We get back from vacat...

    violingirl replied to np_wannabe's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I'm 17. Finished with my prereqs and coreqs and starting nursing school (2 year diploma program) this fall. So I guess I'll be a 19 year old RN. =P

14. San Antonio

    violingirl replied to cjane's topic in Texas

    No, they don't do waiting lists. They count up your "points" due to GPA on prereqs and score on the NET and figure it out that way somehow. I was accepted first time. The NET study guide can be ordered when you sign up for the test. Or you can get it...

15. San Antonio

    violingirl replied to cjane's topic in Texas

    I'm starting there this fall. I was grandfathered in under the old academic plan and tuition and some books were quoted to me at about $10,000. They ARE revamping it though so it'll probably change. Not sure which way. Also, they actually require the...
