  1. El Centro/ Northlake-----Spring 07

    Actually, the name badge is the one thing that stays the same for every semester. If the hospital issues you one, then you wear it in addition to the blue pin on badge... And some good news for you...
  2. El Centro/ Northlake-----Spring 07

    i am soooo excited! i got my new hire packet in the mail today. i live in allen, so it's about 5 minutes from my house.
  3. El Centro/ Northlake-----Spring 07

    I don't think that is a current list of instructors. Galloway is very tough - I had her for a skills lab - and she takes no crap and gives no 100s. I loved Beecham, but I'm 99% sure she isn't...
  4. El Centro/ Northlake-----Spring 07

    Congrats on being accepted. Yes, they really are as disorganized as they seem, and frankly, they couldn't care less about it and have no desire to change it. It's almost like they want to prove they...
  5. El Centro/ Northlake-----Spring 07

    A preceptorship is totally different. I've seen my clinical instructor 3 times since the semester started - once at orientation, once at midterm, and on Halloween when she brought goody bags to the...
  6. El Centro/ Northlake-----Spring 07

    The slides were probably the most helpful - bottom line, if she mentions it on her videos, or talks about it in class, then you need to know it, regardless of whether or not it is on the syllabus....
  7. El Centro/ Northlake-----Spring 07

    McCarty is supposed to be good, at least I've heard good things about him. Ms. Darensbourg is super sweet, but slow as molasses on a cold winter morning. For skills though, she does expect you to do...
  8. El Centro/ Northlake-----Spring 07

    I don't want to talk about the election results!
  9. El Centro/ Northlake-----Spring 07

    It's not a competition
  10. El Centro/ Northlake-----Spring 07

    Well, it's official - I got offered an internship in the ED at Medical Center of McKinney! I am super excited!! On my Master's program, I won't be starting that until August it looks like. Their...
  11. El Centro/ Northlake-----Spring 07

    I will be celebrating my oldness on Halloween (after taking my daughter to a halloween thingy). I will be imbibing alcohol hehe....but not too much because I have to work at the hospital at 7 am on...
  12. El Centro/ Northlake-----Spring 07

    It is true! Lots of support and help on these boards. Jaxia and I met on here just before she got her acceptance letter....and now she channels me on tests! Find a buddy that you can lean on. Talk...
  13. El Centro/ Northlake-----Spring 07

    Jaxia got a job, Jaxia got a job!!! I remember when we met the first time to get shoes for clinicals.... and now! You are almost all growed up and a real nurse! Seems like yesterday....LOL...
  14. El Centro/ Northlake-----Spring 07

    El Centro is putting themselves in a position to graduate so few nurses, that it won't matter what their NCLEX pass rate is. They need a total makeover - new administration, new teachers, updated...
  15. El Centro/ Northlake-----Spring 07

    Congrats!! I can't wait to find out...my interview at Medical City went really well. You know you'll do well next Spring...lol! I'll let you guys know as soon as I hear!
  16. El Centro/ Northlake-----Spring 07

    You guys keep your fingers and toes crossed for me. I just submitted my application for an RN to MSN program. The day after I submitted it, everything finally began feeling so imminent. I'm really...
  17. El Centro/Northlake • Fall 07

    They told us about it during our TB mask fitting...it seems like a pretty good deal. I guess it seems to boil down to whether you like working at Parkland or not. I know some nurses there that would...
  18. El Centro/ Northlake-----Spring 07

    The interview is a week from tomorrow. I'd welcome any information!
  19. El Centro/ Northlake-----Spring 07

    Thank you! Anybody heard anything about Medical City ER as a place to work?
  20. El Centro/ Northlake-----Spring 07

    Thank you! I'm doing my preceptorship (so is Jaxia) in the ER at Baylor Irving this semester. We are both so excited....I either want ER or L & D. ER is my first pick .... I'll let you know...
  21. El Centro/ Northlake-----Spring 07

    I got an interview! I got an interview! For an internship at Medical City in the ER!!!! I can't wait!
  22. North Lake/El Centro - Fall '06!

    We're at ECC, but we were at NLC last semester. Reding was teaching it (if you call it teaching). They must have really changed the test to be way harder. That's crazy that so few passed. Maybe...
  23. North Lake/El Centro - Fall '06!

    We just had our first visit by a recruiter (Baylor) but they are only starting out at $21.00/hr. Parkland was starting at more than that when they talked to us in December...I've begun applying for...
  24. North Lake/El Centro - Fall '06!

    Alot of us want a real graduation ceremony just like people in other professions get without having to wait for 6 months. By then we'll be involved in our careers and in furthering our educations (for...
  25. North Lake/El Centro - Fall '06!

    Everyone did horribly on it? We had like 5 or 6 A's on it at NLC last semester. Who's teaching it now? Don't let it get to you....just hang in there and keep trudging! I'm becoming embroiled in a...
