How about working as a student nurse intern. Yale and St Rapheals both offer positions. I did mine at Backus in the emergancy dept. and now working there as a RN. It really makes the transition a bit smoother and you really learn alot. I wasn't able to give meds, but I could draw them up and do nursing procedures (foley, ng tube, og tube, tube feeds etc). You may have to wait until December, because that is when orientation usually is for the hospitals. I highly recommend it! Good luck....

I recently graduated from TRCC. The faculty there said that all the CC are going to be implementing the same exact program so that you would be able to transfer to another school if you moved, or needed to take a semester off or whatever. You can also look up the prereqs for each school and make sure you have them all. Good luck!

Hey everyone - I have been lurking around this site for weeks while preparing for the NCLEX. I took the exam today and the computer shut off at 75. I am a nervous wreck! I got lots of prioritizing, infection control, contact precautions, and teaching. I had a handful of meds, no calculations and 3 select all apply. I can't wait until Thursday! Good luck everyone!

Congrats! It feels so good! I finished my finals on Monday and have graduation and pinning on Sunday! I haven't stopped smiling either. It feels sureal! Good luck to all that are graduating!
