DogDadThenNurse ADN

For those of you who have attended the weekly info sessions, what did you get out of it? I don't really have any questions besides what the dress code is for the little mixer we are having.

Nice! Congrats. I took a position on the neuro/tele floor at BUMC. $28.75 is what I’m getting! You know what color scrubs we’re supposed to be wearing?

Do any of you guys working at bumc (neuro/tele here) know what color scrubs RNs generally wear?

I hope I don't have to wait too long to get (if) any offers. I did get two interviews next week for the transplant unit and the post-surgical units at BUMC, so I'm excited for those.

I'm graduating with my ADN as well. It's not gonna hurt to apply for the programs that say BSN required. Nurses are hemorrhaging and they won't disqualify you based on your degree (most of the time)

Well first I got lost trying to find where to even go once I was in the hospital LOL. But I don't think they separate the different specialties. The whole unit has 36 beds and I didn't notice any signs or anything. They may just put them in different...

I didn't ask about pay or shift differentials. I usually wait on those questions until I get an offer so I don't get too upset if it doesn't happen LOL. What's Emory?

I think it went really well, but we all know how that is lmao. I was taken up to the ICU unit and interviewed by FIVE people. They were all super nice and welcoming and then there was a nurse that showed me around.

yiiiiikes.. thank you for your input. LOL I think I am going to pass on parkland and hca if I get offers from them.

Oh yeah I cant do that switching back and forth LOL so I hope that is not something that happens across the board. I don't know for sure on either, but I have my interview with methodist ICU/neuro ccu tomorrow. I'll update on here tomorrow what I fin...

Man, I applied for the burn ICU because I was really interested in that when we studied it. But I don't really have a specific reasoning behind it. I'd really love to work at BUMC too. Or Methodist Dallas. I just really want to be in a place where th...

I applied at Parkland, BSW, Methodist, and Medical City. I was contacted by BSW's Dallas recruiter first and my interview is setup for 3/18, but have also been in contact with a recruiter from BUMC. I was contacted directly by the nursing m...

I've applied for a few at different locations. What exact offers did you guys get?

hello all, I have an update- they let me in school and the Texas BON has even decided I can sit for the NCLEX upon graduation!!

OK, so I am a trans man.. meaning I was born female but identify and present as male. absolutely nobody would know my birth sex unless I told them, knew me pre-transition, or did a very in-depth background check. in conclusion, I would be included in...

it depends on who you ask.... someone can love the body they were born in and still identify as transgender. another person who is transgender can hate every single thing of their body and can become suicidal or self-harming because of the psychologi...

Hello my friend!

Hey everybody! I am a trans man entering nursing school in fall 2020 and I live in Texas, so that's that... If there are any fellow trans (non-binary too?) folx out there willing to offer advice, experiences in the nursing world, or trans supportive ...

hello all, starting off... i had two dwis within 3 months of each other in 2017. went to rehab immediately following the second where i completed treatment and have been sober since. i am getting off of a two year probation sentence in june that i ha...

I thank you so much for the response. I hope and pray they see the work I have done and how much effort I am putting into doing everything I can to become a nurse. When I was in rehab I was there with two RNs, an anesthesiologist, a dentist, and an E...

That's pretty much the same boat i am in. i made a 90 overall on my teas, 97 reading and 96 math, but i also have two dwis from 2017. completed rehab and all that jazz, but it's a rather competitive school too. and with my history i am stressed about...

i am not a nurse yet, but i work long days. i have had hokas, but brooks ghost 12 is my absolute favorite. i also have plantar fasciitis and i had to adjust to the hokas, but my brooks were ready to go out of the box! i may try the glycerines or adr...

i saw where a lot of your sent your paperwork to the bon or got in touch with them before you were accepted into the program... does this make it easier or harder to get through to them? i sent an email but im doubtful i will get a response
