  2. Patient Care Checklist/Sheet

    Hi, KNRZN 2013! I'm also a new grad ED RN! I just completed my orientation and felt I needed a tool to keep me better organized and to keep track of when I need to assess which patient. I made a sheet for myself that has worked really well for me and...
  3. Is Banner Health hiring ADN new grads?

    Several of my classmates and I have received calls for interview at Banner after we graduated in May with BSN. I know of one candidate with ADN who interviewed with Banner but mentioned he never received a call back from HR. We started applying aft...
  4. Mean/Competitive nursing school classmates

    Cowgirl_RN, I think I must have had the same classmates because those were my exact thoughts! It is really unfortunate. I had never heard or seen so much 'incivility' until I started nursing school. Honestly, I have had to weed through a group o...
  5. Random drug tests in nursing school?!

    Ours was also set up by the school and notified to us the day before. A rumor of a student using substance was reported to school and she was drug tested but that's the only occasion I heard of any random testing. That was it really. I'm with nmsx...
  6. GCU Fall '13 applicants

    toy85 and other hopefuls, Our cohort just graduated yesterday from GCU (fast track). It is a rigorous program but you will learn so much in a very short time. Study hard! 4 kids, part time job but I still finished with honors. You can do it! ...
  7. Starting Nursing classes in the Fall...

    1) What has been the hardest nursing class for you and why? I found Peds to be really tough - not because it was a difficult course but we unfortunately had a brand new professor who had never taught before (we were often called her 'guinea pigs') an...
  8. Top 10 Nursing Supplies

    I agree with elprup - LOTS Of index cards if you are read/write learner. If you are an auditory learner, I highly recommend getting a digital recorder with a USB or if you have an iphone, download an app called SuperNote to record your lectures. Go...
  9. CAP testing through ATI

    Our program also places a strong emphasis on ATI and we have had to take a comprehensive test at the end of each course. Our professors opened the practice tests (A & B) prior to the test date and that helped some - but we often found that ATI u...

  11. Class of 2013 anyone?

    OMG... our semester was horrendous. Community Health and Home/Hospice health... these 2 classes should have been combined but instead, we had to to weekly assignments for each and paper, health teaching, research, etc for both courses. It was pure t...
  12. Class of 2013 anyone?

    We are doing preceptorship selection right now.. anyone else? Which specialty are you choosing for your preceptorship? We are finishing up Community & Home Health... Community Health has proven to be a bigger headache than I anticipated with all...
  13. Class of 2013 anyone?

    What does your average week look like? I am just curious. :) This 8 weeks we have clinical rotations on Wednesdays and lecture on Thursday (from 5-9 pm) plus an online required course (this one is specific to our college - nothing to do with nurse....
  14. Class of 2013 anyone?

    Wow, most of you are doing Peds/OB rotation this semster! We did Peds/OB during block 3 (this past summer) and this semester we are doing Mental Health/Community health & Home health. I really loved OB!!! I hope you all enjoy it. When I final...
