LOL. It doesn't seem to be working out that way for me!

I called today...they said I was logging in under the wrong area....that's actually not the case. After getting disconnected 3 times I was told that they are still notifying people up until Oct 31. So keep hope alive!!

I don't get it. When I go to log in, it re-directs me and asks for my DOB/last name/last six of social and password. Then when I put them in, it says it can't find an eligible record....did I get it and they are just updating the system?? (I first ...

Yeah, I wore Dickies W all through nursing school and they never shrank. Good luck!

You are in luck! Baylor just posted for L&D internships that start in January. If you go to baylorhealth.com then click on careers at the top of the page, then click on nursing (side of the page), scroll down halfway and under the nursing drop ...

I am graduating from the accelerated program NEXT FRIDAY!! WOOT! Anyway, to answer your question, I would go with TCC. That's where I and the majority of my classmates took our prereqs. As far as it your classes being 10 years old, I say retake th...

school starts may 12 for me.... i am moving, taking cpr, making sure all of my shots are up to date, buying stuff (but restraining myself from buying too much) and running around like a chicken with my head cut off all in excited/anxious anticipation...

WOOHOO! Congrats to you both!! My pinning is August 7, 2009...can't wait!!

all i know is base starting for new grads is $21. Good luck! also, i have clinical there and the teamwork that i observe is amazing. The nurses all work together well and seem like a family. Or they are putting on really good airs, lol. ETA: The ...

what about the Terry Shaivo (sp?) case?

Okay, here's what the Parkland packet says. They have a 9 month "OR specialty nurse course" Graduate nurse or nurse resident $24.52/hr evening shift diff (3pm to 11pm) $2.75/hr night shift diff (11p to 7a) $3.50/hr weekend shift diff (3pm fri to 7a...

That's the base. Baylor didn't give their differentials, and all I can remember for Parkland is $6 for the weekend diff. I'll look back through my paperwork and see what else I can see.

There was a job fair at my school just the other day. Baylor starts graduate nurses at $21 and Parkland gives graduate nurses $24 and some change. Those are the only 2 hospitals that actually told us salaries. Good luck!

CONGRATS!!! I'm in the accelerated program now, so if you have questions....feel free to message me!

I agree. People who have never been through it will never get it/understand. It's almost like a sorority...we can all identify with each other because we are going through the exact same thing. The hardest thing for me is, most of the people in my ...

me too...i got a mid-grade steth simply because i sometimes have trouble hearing and they gave us the sphyg.........

I heard that Weatherford College had a weekend/evening ADN program, but not sure if it still exists; you may want to check it out!

I'm in the program right now! Feel free to PM if you have questions!! When I applied, there wasn't really anyone on this board either. Good luck!

At my school, you have to make a 90% as well. Good luck on your next one. Just take your time and double and triple check your work!

Hello! I am in an accelerated BSN program ( I finish in August!!) and frankly, I have not time for a job. There are a few ppl in my class who work as techs for about 12 hours per week, but other than that, the pace of school is so furious, you don't...

I *think* the point is, that any time a person has sex, birth control or not, married or not, becoming pregnant is a very real possibility...... either way, I think this post got kinda off topic...

The "drama" in my program is grades....the constant how'd you do? after every single exam! "fine" is not good enough. These people want exact numbers! There are some cliques, but I think that's to be expected. I think there is also a simmering "d...

School is going great! Somedays I feel extremely overwhelmed, lol,and other days I feel like I can do anything! The key for me is organization and making sure I read the material before lecture. Those 2 small things have helped me tremendously in ...

No problem! I worked in a hospital pharmacy for the whole 8 years. Definitely if you can find a pharmacist who's willing, get them to help you out. It impacted me tremendously in pharm, and it was a great boost to my self esteem to feel like I knew...

Ah! As you can see from my info, I was a CPhT for 8 years! Use that to your advantage...know brand vs. generic name, basic categories: antibiotic, beta blocker, etc., ask pharmacists to start quizzing you on what drugs do what and why. Have them gi...
