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...
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...
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...
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...
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....
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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!
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
