  1. Loan repayment?

    BeccaznRN replied to paper1225's topic in General Nursing

    I believe that all the SSM facilities offer the same tuition reimbursement. I can't remember what it is though - something like $2.00 for every hour worked with no cap. I know at Glennon, parking is...

  2. To move to MO, or not to move....

    BeccaznRN replied to WIchica0732's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you! My test shut off at 75 and, like all the other test-takers, felt like throwing up because I thought I failed. I'm just glad it's over and I don't have to look at those NCLEX review books...

  3. To move to MO, or not to move....

    BeccaznRN replied to WIchica0732's topic in General Nursing

    Just to add to what wdwpixie said.... I did clinical rotations at Barnes-Jewish (and maybe on the same floor as your job offer, 11500?) and worked as a tech on their liver/kidney tranplant surgical...

  4. Choosing a Practicum Senior Year

    BeccaznRN replied to nursing twin's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the other posts - go with what interests you. This is a great opportunity to see areas that you didn't necessarily get to in school, such as ICU or OR (I got to do my preceptorship in OR...

  5. Nursing School Uniforms

    BeccaznRN replied to fabdana's topic in General Nursing

    My school did a pretty decent looking uniform - red scrub pants, white scrub top with red and yellow stripes on the sleeves with a school patch. I know Maryville does a full burgundy/wine uniform....

  6. I have finally made my decision!

    BeccaznRN replied to fabdana's topic in General Nursing

  8. St. Louis Community College

    BeccaznRN replied to maggijo's topic in General Nursing

    I think any program you do will be a large time commitment regardless of being accelerated or not. Some of the schools do have evening/weekend options, but I really don't know of many schools offering...

  9. Anyone attend school online to further their education?

    BeccaznRN replied to cinthern's topic in Ob/Gyn

    If you wouldn't mind sharing, what is your experience/opinion about this program at SLU? I have my eye on

  11. St. Louis Community College

    BeccaznRN replied to maggijo's topic in General Nursing

    UMSL has a new dean now and things are much, much better. I was in my second semester when all of the drama went down with the previous dean. It was taxing, but we survived. The school still has a...

  12. St. Louis Community College

    BeccaznRN replied to maggijo's topic in General Nursing

    I got in at UMSL with about a 3.5-3.6 GPA (and even had a few F's on my record since I forgot to drop out of a few classes way back when). However, this was for the traditional program and not the...

    Love it!

  15. Rampant Racisim in Hospitals!!

    BeccaznRN replied to goodkittie395's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I had no problem securing employment in southern California without knowing any Spanish (I am in Ventura County, which has a large number of Hispanic residents). My hospital offers free classes in...

  16. california board of nursing

    BeccaznRN replied to vigonz's topic in California Nursing

    Just from my own personal experience, I had much better luck when I called the BRN around 9-10a in the middle of the week (no Mondays or Fridays). But I still was on hold for around 10-15 minutes...

  17. Have your own malpractice insurance?

    BeccaznRN replied to 1studentnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Let me tell you - I already have my application for malpractice insurance ready to send off as soon as I get my RN license. We were advised all through school by ALL our instructors to carry our own...

  18. SSM or BJC ?

    BeccaznRN replied to rkrs6673's topic in General Nursing

    I have to agree with you here. For my last clinical rotation, I spent 180 preceptor hours in the OR at Glennon. Never have I met such a wonderful group of people - the nurses, the residents,...

  19. SSM or BJC ?

    BeccaznRN replied to rkrs6673's topic in General Nursing

    I did clinical rotations at both Children's and Glennon. I had decent experiences with both facilities, but if I had to choose one to work for I would go with Glennon. Glennon has a lot of perks...

  20. Hate this OB/PEDS rotation!!!

    BeccaznRN replied to PurrRN's topic in General Students

    I also thought that I would hate my OB/peds rotation. Well, I was half right......HATED peds, but loved OB. I was slated to take a job as an ICU nurse, but ended up on a L&D unit and I am loving...

  21. Did anyone hate nursing school?

    BeccaznRN replied to FNPhopeful's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I wouldn't go so far as to say I hated nursing school, but it certainly wasn't the best of times. I actually find the stress of my upcoming NCLEX a walk in the park compared with the constant stress...

  22. How long is your commute??

    BeccaznRN replied to FutureLatinaRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: Oh yes I did! But only when there was no traffic, and my notecards were not long-winded. Only a few words. Study time was hard to come

  23. How long is your commute??

    BeccaznRN replied to FutureLatinaRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My commute was an hour, usually only 45-50 minutes for clinical sites. I never really had much of an issue with traffic, but it still sucked. I used to make up note cards and study on my way to...

  25. NSNA Question

    BeccaznRN replied to jbjints's topic in General Students

    I agree with the other posters. I was able to attend the 2006 conference in Baltimore, and it was fabulous! It really helped me feel like I was part of the profession, and it was great to meet and...
