    WDWpixieRN posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I will be graduating in May and have made several very close friendships over the past 2 years with several fellow students. I wanted to get a small remembrance of our time together and was wondering...

  4. New Career, excited, scared and confused at the same time

    WDWpixieRN replied to rholman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You will have to if you choose to move forward. Nursing school is one of the toughest things I have ever done and requires a real desire to WANT to be a member of this profession -- the good, the...

  5. Is this bad?

    WDWpixieRN replied to rettax2's topic in First Year After Licensure

    The only exception would be if you're interested in a specialty nursing area that has fellowships or some other special kind of graduate nurse program that starts shortly after graduation. I know...

    WDWpixieRN replied to lovemeformexox's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Um....interesting post until this part....please rest assured that this is an excellent profession where men also play a vital role. I've worked with some terrific male nurses...they may still be...

    Congrats to you both!! Best wishes as you start your nursing school adventure!! I would like to strongly emphasize that if at all possible, you do whatever it takes to finish all the prereqs before...

  11. Anyone in the Pacific MO area

    WDWpixieRN replied to EBT67's topic in General Nursing

    Ah, EBT....I'm not real familiar with that area....I think it's much more rural than a lot of the interior cities of the STL area, but that's just from driving through. I know that Eureka's very near...

  12. Saint Louis Community College Wait List

    WDWpixieRN replied to lovetoday's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I will just defer at this point by saying that I don't personally know any students from Flo, so it's hard for me to address. I think my response came from wondering how much of the issue was a...

  13. Saint Louis Community College Wait List

    WDWpixieRN replied to lovetoday's topic in General Nursing

    I just checked online and yes, Wildwood is considered it's own campus now....but in checking the Nursing programs, they are still only located as I listed them above. Check this out:...

  14. Saint Louis Community College Wait List

    WDWpixieRN replied to lovetoday's topic in General Nursing

    Wildwood is actually the new campus of the old West County location of Meramec's campus. I don't know if they're considered their own division of STLCC's campuses such as Forest Park and Flo Valley,...

    WDWpixieRN replied to grace90's topic in Nursing Humor

    Are you kidding me?!?! Is this a real song?!?! I have to head out to youtube or something to look this up. We just voted on pinning songs yesterday and this sounds like it would've been GREAT and...

  17. Need your advice!

    WDWpixieRN replied to doglvr's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Don't spend too much time NERVOUS....be excited and curious, but nervous is not something I would spend much energy on before a shadow. Hopefully they will pair you up with someone who's enthusiastic...

  18. Best College for LPN to RN(ADN)

    WDWpixieRN replied to StLouissNurse's topic in General Nursing

    A number of LVNs joined our class @ Meramec during our 3rd semester, so it's apparently being done. They have been welcome additions. I believe it's dependent on where they can fill in spaces with...

  19. Anyone else ever wonder if they are making the right decision?

    WDWpixieRN replied to karen230's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am 52 and completing my ADN in a few short weeks. If age is concern, don't let it be. It's just a number, and I can probably guarantee you'd be far from the oldest member of your class. As for the...

  20. Need some reassurances

    WDWpixieRN replied to lovemeformexox's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This has also been posted in a pre-nursing forum, so you won't find a LOT of nurses here for responses. I think there is a General Nursing or some other types of forums where you might get some other...

  22. Thinking of nursing after I retire from the military

    WDWpixieRN replied to greenstreetbob's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Mike!! I'm heading out in a few, but can probably give you some perspective as an older student (52) who's graduating with my ASN in a few short months!! Make sure you take a look at:...

  23. How do I not go insane during Nursing School??

    WDWpixieRN replied to lizzyberry's topic in General Students

    lizzy: All I can say is if you studied for an "A" and "only" got that 84%, imagine those who studied for "just passing" and got -- what?!?!? Nursing school is TOUGH. Your friends/family will and can...

  24. Des Peres Hospital as a potential employer

    WDWpixieRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Does anyone have any recent information/gossip, etc. about how Des Peres is to work for? I did a search through allnurses and haven't found much except for a discussion of their hefty sign-on bonus...

  25. Des Peres Hospital as a potential employer

    WDWpixieRN replied to WDWpixieRN's topic in General Nursing

    Hi there luvs!! Yeah, I perused their website the other day and have spoken to their recruiter at our health career fair, but there's nothing like the inside scoop. I really don't want to start...
