babysplash ADN, RN

I work as an ICU nurse and I am planning to give my job a two week notice this week. Just for context I've worked at this hospital for 1 year and have never spoken to the director of critical care in person. We don’t have a manager night now and have...

Okay not bad! I wore ciel blue so I will happily wear any other shade of blue ?

Does anyone know what color scrubs Med City nurses wear? Is it the same at all locations? I will be at Lewisville if anyone has info

I'm Lewisville ICU and I'm in the same boat as you. Well, I accepted an offer with the recruiter via email. Haven't Docusigned anything as of yet. My recruiter said I should start getting onboarding and HR emails soon, I emailed her last night

I just received an offer for Medical City Lewisville ICU. Anyone here also starting in the ICU cohort in Feb? Nice to meet you!

Congratulations to you all. I am a 3rd semester student at El Centro right now. We have a combined FB page for NLC, ECC and Methodist students - you will take tests together at ECC campus and have things like med surg simulation, OB and Pedi boot cam...

Hey everyone, I wanted to create a thread for current ADN students who are considering UTMB for the RN-BSN online program. Also, if anyone knows about the process or is currently attending then online RN-BSN track, I would love to hear from you! Any ...

Yes make sure to read from the book. It has helped me in nursing school when in lecture or on exams by being able to recall the info that I read... you won't learn anything if you just google all the answers so disregard that advice... I am an El Cen...

Did the BSN nurses you know go to an accredited university or a for-profit or private institution like Excelsior? That may be the difference here.

If you are a part of DCCCD you can take Pharm online at any of the campuses and Brookhaven will take the credit. El Centro offers it online and it is taught by the Dean of the Nursing students - just an idea if you don't want that professor!!

I didn't say it was less competitive - all paths will be competitive; that's just part of the admissions process. I only mentioned it because if they want to increase the odds of them getting accepted to a program, they should apply to more programs;...

Try applying for an ADN program; slower than an ABSN but not as expensive either! Most RN-BSN bridges are online and can be obtained in 8 months to -1 year, so still less than an entire 4-year BSN route. If I were in your situation, I would appl...

Perfect! No, you don't get any practice question for lecture from faculty. You will need to use supplemental materials and the books to get questions. Since the test is written by faculty I'd rather not share any of my notes to avoid any academic iss...

Hey! Sure thing! Learn time management! If you're already good with using your time wisely, you're in a good place. It's a lot easier said than done though. Try to stay ahead with your assignments - complete quizzes, and practice skills ASAP (you wil...

Hey there, it's part of the human condition to have fear about the unknown and moving from a job that has provided you and your family with security for the last 23 years. Your feelings are normal, but I think you would be doing yourself a disservice...

Honestly, it will be here before you know it! I;m a third semester nursing student at El Centro - let me know if you have any questions and I will help out the best I can!

Good luck everyone! What is the date you guys are supposed to get letters of acceptance?

No problem. Good luck!

Right, it can be very simple if you understand how to do the conversion and what the question is asking for. Because most math problems are in word format you have to pull relevant information from the question. You cannot use a conversion chart or f...

Correct!

For first semester you will have a 30 question math exam in the middle of the semester. you have 3 chances to make a 100 and if you don't, you will have an exit interview. For 2nd, 3rd and 4th semester the math test is on the first day of orientation...

I fyou buy from the bookstore you should be able to get a rebate - not sure how much money you get back - from Lippincott. We all bought from thepoint website, the direct retailer so we didn't have to go through the extra step of waiting for the reba...

Unfortunately the quizzes, modules, videos, readings, case studies and Vsims are all done online so they are included in the $3,000 book package, there are no alternate retailers. I'm currently in the program and the one girl I know who has brought ...

Check out the FB pages for El Centro/Northlake current nursing students. The class that is 4th semester and graduating soon sometimes post there and offer to sell their books. The paper copy of the books (unbound) are available for $50 after you make...

Yeah idk what happened, my first semester the book package was a little over $2,000. Then the skills kit is all the supplies you need like needles, saline bags, sterlie water, syringes, foley cath kits, trach kits, etc. is apparently close to $350. W...
