  1. New Grads path to L&D

    Ilikeletters replied to Ella2598's topic in Ob/Gyn

    If L&D is your passion, absolutely pursue it! I did my preceptorship in L&D at the hospital I wanted to work at, and got a job there as a new grad. So happy that I followed my

  2. SOS, need Joint Commission advice

    Ilikeletters replied to ReadytoretireOBnurse's topic in Ob/Gyn

    We have a policy that tables can be made for patients at 6cm and moved to their rooms. We always have at least one table set up in the OR hallway except for when JCO is around. They are fine with...

  3. ABSN Adequately prepared?

    Ilikeletters replied to jj16's topic in General Nursing

    I can't speak to the quality of education, but are you SURE that you can do the schedule of the ABSN? I only had 3 kids in nursing school, but even having one there was NO WAY that I could have done...

  4. Current Labor and Delivery Nurses: How did you get your job?

    Ilikeletters replied to jalilly's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Preceptorship! Having people that you worked with that can advocate for you is

  5. Any new grad moms out there?

    Ilikeletters replied to Alexx_xox's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I have three kids and they are adjusting just fine so far. I've been home with them all since they were born (youngest is 5) other than nursing school which was just 1.5 days a week. I thought it...

  6. FHT charting

    Ilikeletters replied to LaborRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    We chart any decels since the last charting - even if it was at 6:01 and is perfect after that. Your "absent" isn't defendable in

  7. Observant Jew Cannot Work Saturday Shifts

    Ilikeletters replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    This, exactly. There are many RN jobs that don't require working Saturdays - you need to find a job where the requirements meet your needs even if the job doesn't fulfill your wants. Prioritization...

  8. Grand Canyon RN-BSN

    Ilikeletters replied to tokmom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    We just had to update the ISP with the actual number of hours spent on each item and the date

  9. Grand Canyon University RN to BSN Reviews

    Ilikeletters replied to Flames9_RN's topic in School, College Programs

    I graduated in October but as far as I'm aware grades have to be posted within 7 days of the turn in date. So I'd definitely look into

  10. Grand Canyon University RN to BSN Reviews

    Ilikeletters replied to Flames9_RN's topic in School, College Programs

    I had to take 10 total. I wasn't allowed to take my Capstone until everything else was

  11. Grand Canyon University RN to BSN Reviews

    Ilikeletters replied to Flames9_RN's topic in School, College Programs

    It's very basic. Just read the directions and do exactly that. There isn't a wrong answer, you just have to make sure you include each of the objectives at least

  12. Grand Canyon RN-BSN

    Ilikeletters replied to tokmom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    DONE ?

  13. Grand Canyon RN-BSN

    Ilikeletters replied to tokmom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I just wanted to update now that I have finished the [new] 10 week Capstone... at the beginning of the Capstone all I could think reading through it all was ***** I called the professor, she...

  14. Grand Canyon RN-BSN

    Ilikeletters replied to tokmom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I had the list but never ended up with anyone on it (good or bad). You basically just have to take the first grading assignment as an indicator of what's important to the instructor. I had one that...

  15. GCU RN to BSN capstone course

    Ilikeletters replied to aspiringrn1987's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I didn't find the Mentor/Site Affiliation to be awful. I don't currently work, so I asked someone where I plan to work next year to be my mentor. I had to get her resume and provide a copy of her...

  16. Question please answer!

    Ilikeletters replied to AddictedToCoffee4657's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm 41. I define health as a state of being where you both feel good and have the ability to do what you want without physical/mental limitations. Right now, I simply try to eat a balanced diet and I...

  17. Grand Canyon University RN to BSN Reviews

    Ilikeletters replied to Flames9_RN's topic in School, College Programs

    It didn't take that long for me. From the time I sent in all my information, it took about a week to get clearance. Mine was part of an approved network,

  18. Grand Canyon University RN to BSN Reviews

    Ilikeletters replied to Flames9_RN's topic in School, College Programs

    I spoke to my instructor today and feel much better. She said the journal entries are just reflective over what we've learned in researching the capstone. So if you're doing sepsis, talk about the...

  19. Grand Canyon University RN to BSN Reviews

    Ilikeletters replied to Flames9_RN's topic in School, College Programs

    Flames, do you know when they started the Capstone as 10 weeks? I started at GCU 6 months ago and knew it was a 10 week capstone, but it seems like lots of people that graduated this year were still...

  20. Grand Canyon University RN to BSN Reviews

    Ilikeletters replied to Flames9_RN's topic in School, College Programs

    What day did you start your capstone? I started mine 8/21, are we in the same class? I have a 4.0 so far after doubling up on everything and I am totally lost as to what is expected. I turned in...

  21. Grand Canyon University RN to BSN Reviews

    Ilikeletters replied to Flames9_RN's topic in School, College Programs

    What is the class #? I had a good experience with pretty much all my instructors, currently in the Capstone. Some were more particular than others (like on APA format) but they normally articulated...

  22. Grand Canyon RN-BSN

    Ilikeletters replied to tokmom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I just finished that class, it wasn't that bad. The DQs were the easiest because they were all opinion based. The last paper was pretty easy - in order to quote both religions and principalism, 6...

  23. Best vs Quickest route to CRNA

    Ilikeletters replied to malthus's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Got it, thanks! Never even heard of AA, so yes, thought it was associate's

  24. Best vs Quickest route to CRNA

    Ilikeletters replied to malthus's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    This doesn't even make sense. ADNs and BSNs have the exact same scope of practice. Neither can be independent practitioners in terms of anesthesia. Both can get hired into ICU units. If a facility...

  25. Is 61 too old to start Pre-Nursing?

    Ilikeletters replied to Kikzy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have these same questions. Also, if finances are an issue at all - I had a prior BS degree, as well, and to get my BSN (I did ADN, then RN-BSN) was probably close to $20K total. So best case...
