1. Failed part of skills checkoff

   Misteighbloo replied to AmandaBeaverhausen's topic in General Students

   Two of my nursing competencies I failed on the first go and passed them on the redo. It honestly didn’t upset me, I just made sure to prepare more for the second time. Pretty much every student I know failed a competency at least once. I’ve been a n...

2. Harassment in Nursing School

   Misteighbloo replied to JJWiley's topic in General Students

   I’m sincerely sorry you are dealing with this. This is the most childish and ridiculous behavior I can imagine. To address your discouragement (understandable), there absolutely are kind people and good places to work in nursing. We had several openl...

3. Second Thoughts on Becoming a Nurse

   Misteighbloo replied to ThePrudentStudent's topic in General Nursing

   I see a lot of people saying to run, but just to give you another perspective…I put my wishes to become a nurse on hold for ten years and graduated with my BSN as a new nurse at 42. I’ve been working as an oncology nurse for a year and a half. Grant...

4. New RN Age

   Misteighbloo replied to Kooper48's topic in General Nursing

   Finished school and started nursing at 42. We had several people in their 40s and even early 50s in our class and all found jobs right after graduation. I Work nights on an oncology unit and I love it. Go for it!

5. JUST finished school

   Misteighbloo replied to Guest 1064378's topic in General Nursing

   I finished school one year ago and work in oncology and work only nightsand I love it! I prefer working nights to days. It gives you a little of each day (I have kids so I at least get to see them every day) and when you have to work holidays you at...

6. Full time jobs hard to find ?

   Misteighbloo replied to Anotherdegree4me's topic in General Nursing

   I believe it depends on where in the country you are - the majority of those who graduated from my BSN cohort with me this past December found full time jobs, including at least 3 I can remember who are in their early fifties. Most secured jobs befo...

7. Advice for struggling mom

   Misteighbloo replied to Melmunster's topic in General Students

   I feel your struggle...I just finished nursing school and have two kids, ages 6 and 10. I was fortunate that I was able to complete my classes during the day and be home (for the most part) with the kids at night, but i know that's not an option for...

8. Question regarding expiration of credits (career changer)

   Misteighbloo replied to Hopefulnurse1823's topic in General Students

   I am about to finish up an ABSN program and I started 20 years after graduating college the first time. I had to retake or take for the first time only the 6 required prerequisite courses for my school - every school I applied to required 5-7 specifi...

11. Do I have to disclose mental illness

    Misteighbloo replied to NurseChaiPls's topic in General Nursing

    My understanding was not that this person has lied... they just now got accepted to nursing school and the school is now asking for medical information and they are trying to determine if it will be required to disclose this information or not. The ...

    Misteighbloo replied to dfalc's topic in School Programs

    One more note...they'll open the pods (schedules) up via sign up genius on a given date and time (ours was in the evening). FYI you have to be on right when they say to get on...I signed up at 8:00 and 30 seconds when they opened it up at 8:00 and m...

13. GWU ABSN/VBSN Spring 2019 Cohort

    Misteighbloo replied to dfalc's topic in School Programs

    We weren't able to choose schedules until about 4 weeks before class started. As for holidays, we follow the General GW academic calendar so you can look that up online to see when you'll be off. The only caveat is if you are assigned a Saturday clin...

    Misteighbloo replied to dfalc's topic in School Programs

    Yep, for the blue scrub set you'll use for lab and the khaki bottoms you can purchase anywhere and have any style basically. For the red and blue shirt for clinicals you'll order those through Fenton's because they'll be embroidered with the GW logo....

15. GWU ABSN/VBSN Spring 2019 Cohort

    Misteighbloo replied to dfalc's topic in School Programs

    First semester is the heaviest as far as course load, but I believe your clinical time increases somewhat as you get further along in the program. For us, first semester we are taking Pathophysiology, Med-Surg I lecture, Med-Surg Lab, Health Assessm...
