  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. Anyone else apply to Sutter Extended Campus in Sacramento?

    FAworld posted a topic in California Nursing

    Tick tock tick tock... I'm dying to hear back. *taps

  4. 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...

  5. 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...

  6. 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...

  7. 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

  8. 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...

  9. 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)...

  10. 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...

  11. 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....

  12. 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...

  13. 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...

  14. If You Got Your Letter Post Here!!!

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

    Sac City College - Extended Campus and Sac City College - Part-time program. I think I'm going with the part-time program so I can continue to be home with my youngest (3 yrs) during the

    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...

  16. Poll: Where are you applying?

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

  17. TEAS scores

    FAworld replied to Ado Annie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Mine were on the top, with my overall score. It listed the national percentile I fell into as well as the percentile for 'similar programs' or something like

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

    I have one app in and 3 more to fill out. I find out about the one already in around mid-Nov and the rest in early Dec. Unfortunately, after turning in the app I found out that I had not completed...

  19. best TEAS reviewer out there

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

    The study guide sold through ATI (http://www.atitesting.com, I think) is the only one I am aware and it was very helpful,

    FAworld replied to MQ Edna's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I forgot to add - good luck on the

  21. I can't be the only one who thought the TEAS was easy...

    FAworld replied to MQ Edna's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took it on Sat (the 8th). It was definitely easier than the study guide and a little easier than the online assessment. I got an individualized score of 86% on the online assessment and an...

  22. 2nd degree students: How are you paying?

    FAworld replied to LuckyMe2g's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'll be taking out private student loans (I think even Sallie Mae has some but I haven't looked into it yet). My loans will cover daycare for my son while I'm in school. I hate debt with a passion...

  23. I can't be the only one who thought the TEAS was easy...

    FAworld replied to MQ Edna's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you look on the 3rd bulletin point up from the bottom of this page: http://www.scc.losrios.edu/nursing/ec_whatsnew.html , it appears that you don't have to retake it but just get your results from...

  24. Admissions Strictly By the Numbers

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

    I'll be honest, I'm envious of the admissions process you speak of. Here's you just have to meet a minimum GPA and then it's a completely random lottery. So you have no way of boosting your chance of...

  25. What's worst than getting rejected? I know!

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

    WOW - congrats!!!!! I felt really anxious just reading this thread. I'm so glad you got
