   I'm also interviewing for a pre-admit position. Based on the brief description I got it's something to do with checking patients' vitals, histories, allergies, conducting tests, etc. before surgery. All very vague. Would also be interested in find...

   appioriley replied to neuron's topic in General Nursing

   Hi. Don't know if you're still looking into this agency. I signed up in April, hoping to get jobs here in Texas. I went through the hassle of doing drug tests, background checks and all their assessments only to be told that there were "No RN Avail...

   appioriley posted a topic in Med-Surg

   Hi, I'd like to take the CMSRN exam and I'm searching for good and reliable self-study materials; specifically apps. I've come across a couple in the app store which I've tried. The first was Pocketprep, which gives you only 30 free questions and t...

   appioriley replied to simba and mufasa's topic in COVID

   While I believe the practice of using people as guinea pigs against their will is disgusting, as an African myself, I question why African governments allow these companies to come in and exploit their people. African leaders should be held responsi...

5. struggling new grad: may not make it past orientation

   appioriley replied to Sheika34's topic in New Nurse

   My heart goes out to you because I was exactly in your shoes a year ago and thought I'd picked the wrong career. I really struggled during my preceptorship, and wanted to quit several times. A lot of it was just nerves and fear. Plus I was under t...

   That's weird! When I went down to the bookstore, they gave me the list quite happily! But it was not 100% clear; there were some items like the access card that I couldn't find online, and I wasn't sure if the list was complete. But anyway @Claire_...

   My blue card came in the mail today; exactly a week after I did the finger printing. It's weird, it just looks like a post card. Not even in an envelope, just a blue card with the TX Board of Nursing stamp on it.

   I'm trying to find the signature page in the Student Handbook, as apparently we have to sign and upload it to Certified Background. Was anyone able to find it?

    Fingerprint email with instructions on how to set it up came before the certified background email - at least for me. Might want to check with (MODERATOR EDIT OF NAME) if you still haven't gotten it yet.

    I talked to the clinical director about that and she said we don't need it because it's not flu season yet.

    I agree with you on the books. They are way too expensive at the book store.

    Been searching for the books online to see if I can buy them separately, because when I checked at the book store the total package came up to $1176! Does anyone know if the Evolve Single Access code is sold with any of the textbooks or can you buy ...

    Yes, (MODERATOR EDIT OF NAME) said to wait for her email regarding Certified Background before we can upload the other forms. What I have done in the meantime is: paid for my drug test; ordered my uniforms and supplies bag; ordered my stesthoscope; ...
