1. New Older Grad Nurse Not Fitting In?

   Onecoolwife replied to Onecoolwife's topic in Relations

   Well after debating on it, I sought out an older nurse who had been employed there for a while and just casually mentioned the issues I was having. She eventually pulled me aside this week and told me it wasn't me that this is a common thing and the ...

   Need some guidance, I am a new nurse as of Dec. I am also an older nurse at 41, been on my own a month now. Apparently I am having a hard time being accepted by my peers, since coming out of orientation. I was told I isolate, think I am better than o...

3. Check Offs

   Onecoolwife replied to MyDream 2bRN's topic in General Students

   I am first semester nursing and I just completed my check offs for clinical. I made it way harder than it should have been by over thinking it. I actually passed but I had worried myself into such a frenzy that I actually missed things (thankfully no...

4. Would it be to late?

   Onecoolwife replied to ruckyperez's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I had a baby (had a 10 year old already) at 35 started my pre reqs at 37 and started nursing school at 39 this semester. It can be done there are at least 5 ladies who are 5-10 years older than me in class. Age is just a number, you can do it!

   Well I did not get in and neither did the 4 friends who applied with me and like some of you one of them had a 4.0 with no repeats. But the good news is I did waitlisted somewhere else and after speaking with the recruiter on that pretty sure I will...

   Onecoolwife replied to MavWagg's topic in School Programs

   I have already had all mine done, reason being if Hep B comes back negative it is a long 6 month series and has to be completed before clinical participation. I am glad I did bc my Hep b was low and I am 1 shot away from being done now.

   Onecoolwife replied to MavWagg's topic in School Programs

   I can tell you that last year letters were received before 10/10/16 by a few of my friends. The waiting is driving me crazy and I may be guilty of scanning through my text messages from last year and seeing where I sent Congrats. So the time is near!

   At least notification comes by mail for Collin, my other choice sends emails and I have been glued to my cell phone stalking my inbox. With mail I can check once a day and be done.
