2. Anyone here had any trouble finding a job after graduating from Chamberlain?

   PinkAnther replied to Kuniklo's topic in Missouri

   I've heard a lot of not-so-great things of Chamberlain. I'm not sure they have the greatest reputation. However, I have a friend who graduated from there and got a job right away a couple hours away in ICU.

3. No She/he Did Not!!!

   PinkAnther replied to Maggie in NC's topic in General Students

   Oh no she did not... say to the patient, "Oh, this guy has a lot of experience being the catcher," about the patient transporter. The transporter had just told the patient not to worry about falling, because we would be right there. My flirty patient...

5. Why Do People Fail Nursing School?

   PinkAnther replied to Pachinko's topic in General Students

   I absolutely disagree with kicking people out because they're shy. I'm thinking the logic behind is it that you do have to interact with patients. You'll have to be the one to not only provide care, but take care of patient teaching. Also I think peo...

6. Cheaters in my med/surg class

   PinkAnther replied to brandy1215's topic in General Students

   I agree. Maybe not as vehemently... haha. These are my thoughts... Them cheating isn't actually hurting you. You may feel that it's unjust for people who don't care to get better grades than you. But typically in nursing classes, clinical performance...

   I'm hoping to do my clinicals at the new St. Clare Hospital in Fenton that is replacing St. Joe's in Kirkwood. It's brand new and state-of-the-art! So it's a possibility I'll try to do one of the summer student nursing internships they offer next sum...

   Obviously, you've had a ton of replies. DUH! You're not too old! I can't say I'm older or this or that. I will say this. I'm 23. I went to college to be a veterinarian, then changed my major to pre-med for people, then changed it again to nursing (ba...

    PinkAnther posted a topic in Missouri

    I'm currently a student at STLCC Meramec. I took some nursing courses at SEMO but was a little leery of their program. I could have stayed there, as changing my major kept me there 3 1/2 yrs and very close to a bachelor's in general studies, but I kn...
