Hi, my hospital is hiring tons of new grads for the nurse residency program. If you are willing to move to Billings, Montana. Both St. Vincent's and Billings Clinic need new grads. I think both are trauma level 2, one is magnet and the other is on the way to magnet. My hospital St. Vincent's offers relocation or sign on bonus and loan repayment. If you message me I can help you get in touch with my recruiter.

Definitely hard but I think there is a lot of hype. I’m one of those who study 20+ hours, work 30-36 hr, and have a family. I think the commitment is a struggle but I also choose to spend a lot of time studying outside of class. This is because I enjoy the material and I guess I don’t know how to study any other way. I think it’s tireding. Perhaps the challenge waxes and wanes. The hard part is going to be that learning curve once we step on the floor as real nurses. So far being one year left of my BSN the most toughest part was the 15hour care plan I had for Acute/chronic illness.

Hey Everyone, any tips on how to make my resume look good for a summer RN externship would be helpful. Basically if selected, I will be allowed to work under a preceptor for the summer using my nursing skills from clinicals. I have about 6 months of CNA experience and my past work experience is all automotive. My resume is sort of running out of room for job descriptions. I was wondering if I should remove the job descriptions, and put academic accomplishments ie presidents list and GPA 3.98 cumulative. Also where would I list that I’m in an academic scholars program on a resume? I’m not done with the program yet, it’s AHEC. moderators please feel free to move this post to the proper category.

Spotangel thank you for sharing! I was deeply encouraged by your post. You discerned a sense of peace beyond this world in your patients! Our God is so good for enabling you to notice this in people! You had quite the day as many as three and it's a good reminder for us still living that there is more to just this life and it is so much better. It's understandable for AN members to disagree about this. However It it seems that no harm was done to these patients psychologically and with respect you asked for their permission to share their experiences. Whether or not people want to hear about this now we will all face Jesus at some point.

Are you retaking A&P 1/2? Sorry I'm a little confused...or were you able to apply with those two unfinished? My school requires at least 1 A&P done to apply. I'm just finishing up what your Spring semester will be Lifespan and Stats. Lifespan was cool it was nice to get it finished in the Summer, Idk if I would want to take it all semester like in fall/spring term. This coming fall I will be taking A&P 2 and BioOrganic Chem. I hope it goes smoothly because I have always done my science classes separately. I actually moved from California so if you plan on going to nursing school out there it is an extremely long wait.

Sorry about your Grandfather, stay strong girl and remember how proud you make him! My application due date is August 1st but I won't know where I'm placed until October 1st. Going to the gym totally helps with all the school stress, I kinda fallen of my routine I feel like I don't go enough lately. It's exhausting balancing school and work because when I'm doing neither I just want to eat and sleep. ;(

Learn some medical terminology because the terms you will be faced with are intimidating but with a little medical terminology they are less threatening. E.g. Cytology the study of cells. Also keep in mind when studying Anatomy you want to think in terms of structure. DFL. *Design, Function, Location Describing anatomical structures in this manner will help you master the knowledge Design- what is the structure made out of* to answer this you go into what kinds of cells form the structure...what are the cells composed off...what are the characteristics of the components of the cells. How does the design relate to the function? Define your function and then bring it back to how it relates to the design. E.g. What traits of the cellular components carry out these main functions of the structure. Location-Where is the structure found, how does it relate to nearby structures? How does it interact with other organs or it's organ system? Right now it maybe best to enjoy your time off because once you start anatomy it is a full time job studying! Honestly if you approach anatomy with the method I mentioned a DFL process you will have a map on how you should approach any anatomical structure. Last I will stress the levels of organization are your bestie! If you can begin to understand that each level of organization from the molecular to organism is interdependent on one another for the success of eachother this will help you immensely! The molecules in a cell form complex structures that carry out functions and form a cell. That cell becomes specialized and carries out its own function with a group of cells that forms a tissue. The tissue links with other tissue to form an organ which carries out a number of functions. I could keep going but realize if there is any problem structurally at any level function will be affected. Now when you get into anatomy you have to start with the smallest component you can define structurally and work your way up typically from the cellular level. When it comes to physiology that will be your molecular level and how the functions are carried out. FINALLY FOCUS ON WHAT YOUR INSTRUCTOR TEACHES BECAUSE YOU CAN GET LOST IN ALL THE ANATOMY IN YOUR TEXT SO STICK TO EVERYTHING THE INSTRUCTOR MENTIONS IN LECTURE AND LAB AND DONT GO INTO ANYTHING ELSE FOR THE SAKE OF TIME AND GETTING AN A. STUDY WHAT THE INSTRUCTOR TOUCHES ON!

Zotastic check the nursing handbook for the program of choice it varies from school to school. This is something you don't want to get twisted so if there is too much fuzziness check with your nursing schools advisor or general academic advisor. For an example my university permits two unfinished major science pre-requisites prior to starting sophomore nursing classes and you are placed based off your gpa when you apply but you have to meet a cumulative 3.0 after your placed to stay in the program. Now my cc required all pre-requisites to be completed before applying and TEAS where my current university doesn't require TEAS.

Hey Everyone! I'm a week a way from finishing my second session of summer classes. I'm finishing Stats and I must say I'm feeling a bit more comfortable with it except my final is in a week. So glad that it will be over soon. For anyone who is interested Stats online and taking it in the summer or accelerated I will say it is completely do-able with a struggle lol it can be done.
