1. Application Analyst Position for Epic Go-Live

   FAworld replied to born2circulateRN's topic in Nursing Informatics

   You can get what they call a 'proficiency' without going to WI but to be certified, Epic requires that you attend on-site classes in Madison, WI. You really want the certification (more marketable...

2. Application Analyst Position for Epic Go-Live

   FAworld replied to born2circulateRN's topic in Nursing Informatics

   Hi, I am a senior applications analyst supporting and implementing Epic. I love my job - still clinical but more globally affecting healthcare for our system. I miss the patients but this is a great...

3. Did RNs Have To Practice Bathing Each Other In NS

   FAworld replied to me-too's topic in General Students

   This is exactly how my school does it, too. Bathing each other wasn't a big deal because it was pretty much just face, limbs and verbalizing the rest. And it was really awkward the first time or two...

4. Ugh, just moved to Sacramento area, had no idea how bad it was...

   FAworld replied to fireshifter's topic in California Nursing

   I'm in an NEI at SCC (their part-time program). It's just a matter of an initial meeting and some paperwork with someone from the state and then an email each month with a quick update on how you are...

5. Sac City or Modesto JC

   FAworld replied to Faith2BAnurse's topic in California Nursing

   I'm first semester at SCC. I got into both the part-time and the extended campus. The full-time and part-time programs are both lottery based. You have to have a 'B' in all prereqs to be qualify for...

6. Do you work for Sutter?

   FAworld replied to wannabeICUnurse's topic in California Nursing

   Sutter hospitals in the Sacramento area (Roseville/General/Memorial) currently have a hiring freeze. It's been going since at least January and not sure how long it is expected to

7. I gave my first injection today

   FAworld replied to LilRedRN1973's topic in General Students

   I agree with Noney. Children cannot give their informed consent and the 7 year old was reluctant to begin with. I'd keep to practicing on adults. And luckily, you have a willing dh! Mine would...

8. Why did you pick the nursing school you did?

   FAworld replied to Mnstn's topic in General Students

   1. Cost: I already have a BA in another field so I chose an ADN program. I'll wait until I'm working as an RN to bridge to a BSN and use tuition assistance (all the hospitals in the area offer it)...

9. What kind of Backpack?

   FAworld replied to reidesert's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

   I bought a Jansport Driver8 from ebags as well. I don't start until next week so I can't say how it is. Even if I just bring one or two main texts (for reading between classes or study sessions...

10. Eww white uniforms??

    FAworld replied to jla623's topic in General Students

    Ours are white pants and a unisex vest with a navy polo underneath, from Dove uniforms. I'm not thrilled by it but my volunteer uniform (white pants and a burgandy smock) is not exactly snazzy either....

11. Ok...I need to get this off my chest...

    FAworld replied to WanaBaNurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am nervous, too! I'm worried about it being a big change for my family. I've been a SAHM for the last 6 years. Because I accepted a spot in a part-time program, my kids won't have to go to...

12. Does your program require pre-reqs done before application too?

    FAworld replied to grace8808's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think most CA schools are like that. The schools I applied to had the same requirements that catzy5 mentioned - you had to have a "dead" semester between finishing your prereqs and applying so that...

    FAworld replied to phoenixfire's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got a nice, fat envelope in the mail today!!! I got in to the part-time program I applied to. I'm still waiting to hear back from three other programs and this was originally not my first choice...
