About ValerieRose2

Currently a student RN and I finish in September of 2015. Three terms left and I am finito! I cannot wait to continue this nursing journey that I have been on. I have thoroughly enjoyed it and yes, it may be hectic, yes it may be insane, but you got to get your hands dirty in order to come out sparkling clean in the end. I am a passionate, caring, person who always puts the patient first.

  5. Best Jobs for Nursing Student in North Dakota

    Sorry about the delay in my reply! I have been super busy with studying as hard as I can so I can get a good job later on. :) I will definitely look into Sanford, Essential, and possibly others to see if they have any program like that. I am really...
  9. Rasmussen or not?

    I've been with Rasmussen since October 7th. They are really great. I have to admit, it is a little bit rocky at the beginning, because we didn't have the right books or people were exchanging for hardcover copies. I went to my first clinical site on ...
  10. How to get into ICU

    Do you know if any of the hospitals hire new grads in any of the CCUs? Telemetry sounds like a good choice though. You said that it took you a year in Telemetry to get into ICU? That would be fine... I'm hoping that telemetry is available when I sta...
  11. How to get into ICU

    Would telemetry include any of the following: MICU, SICU, CCU, TICU or NICU? I'm sorry for asking such a naïve question, but I'm not quite sure exactly how everything works out yet. I've never had anyone talk to me about being a nurse before and wha...
