   Roberta88 posted a topic in Pediatric

   Hello everyone! I have been a night-time ortho nurse for a little over a year now (my first nursing job) and am switching to day-time peds next week. While ortho has been good to me, I felt like it was time to move on to something I was really passio...

2. Will an L&D preceptorship pigeonhole me later on?

   Roberta88 posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

   Hi everyone. I'm pretty conflicted and looking for some guidance. I'm in my maternity rotation and my clinical teacher has suggested that I apply for an L&D preceptorship. I looooove L&D. But I also love other specialties (specifically ER). I...

3. How to juggle Pre-Lecture Reading and Studying for an Exam?

   Roberta88 replied to EarthhAngel2013's topic in General Students

   I usually do the pre-lecture reading because I feel like it helps sink the information in. However, there is nothing I hate more than reading material for the following test when there is a test right in front of me. So if I have a test I give up pre...

5. What was your first year of nursing school like?

   Roberta88 replied to linzjane88's topic in General Students

   I agree with most of the people on here. It's an emotional rollercoaster and it beat the everything out of me too. But it's what I want to do and there are days that are horrible that I try to remember why I want to even be a nurse:banghead: and then...

   Roberta88 replied to lakaha's topic in California

   I noticed today that they said they were going to go over malpractice insurance and those three modules (on the website where we turned in our immunization records) at the orientation. I don't know about the concord campus, but no one mentioned it at...

   Roberta88 replied to lakaha's topic in California

   Congratulations! Does anyone know if we can accept financial aid awards yet? Because they show on my page and it has a button that says "accept/decline awards" but when I click on it it doesn't let me accept any. I tried emailing the financial aid o...

   Roberta88 replied to lakaha's topic in California

   Wow you guys made me feel so much better. I am going to call tomorrow morning and see if I can talk to someone though. I sent three copies of my transcripts so I should be fine. And I am going to the Hayward campus (even if my little old car can bare...

    Roberta88 replied to lakaha's topic in California

    I'm so confused!!! I am still waiting for it to say I was accepted into the school. It said provisional admission a few days ago and it still doesn't say they received my transcripts. Now it says "AL Data Verification Needed" in my application status...

11. Required School Vaccination Mix-up

    Roberta88 replied to Roberta88's topic in General Students

    Whew! They are giving me a year to get the right shot. I just have to have it before my pediatrics class. I think it was about two days short of 4 weeks in between the two shots. I was kind of annoyed at the mistake but I can see how it can get lost ...

12. Required School Vaccination Mix-up

    Roberta88 posted a topic in General Students

    Argh! So I got into the Nursing Program for fall 2010 and I got all the usual vaccinations and titers. I got the Td shot because that was what was listed. Then my school sent me an email they changed it to Tdap. That's fine, and I went to my doctor, ...

14. How did you know you wanted to be a nurse?

    Roberta88 replied to MandE4and1's topic in General Students

    HAHA! I laughed so hard when I read the beginning. It kind of reminds me of myself except with greys anatomy. I do realize that it won't be the same but I can't lie that that was my inspiration. I'm kind of scared of the question "Why do you want to ...

    Roberta88 replied to lakaha's topic in California

    Paganoid- I was considering keeping my part time job during at least the beginning of school. Only thing is that my employer needs to know my schedule two weeks ahead of time. I noticed you said that we will be doing just a few days of clinical our f...
