  1. interview today...only went ok

    RNin'08 posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    So I had an interview today for a position in the MBU at the hospital I currently work at and I'm a little discouraged. It went ok. I don't feel like I knocked it out of the park but I'm keeping my...

  2. interview today...only went ok

    RNin'08 replied to RNin'08's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thanks for the support! I'll let you know when I hear. Tyvin - I've had other interviews at different hospitals that did the group thing but this was way more people than what I've been through, it's...

  3. night workers- how do you keep a normal routine/life?

    RNin'08 replied to arnie1234's topic in General Nursing

    I work 7p - 7a and it's not so bad, like everyone else has said, just find what works for you. I nap for 3-4 hours in the afternoon before my first shift, get up and help hubby get dinner ready for...

  4. Can anyone give us New Grads a glimmer of hope?

    RNin'08 replied to nurse901's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I've been looking for a job since Feb and have had a really hard time, the best advice I can give is to send emails, make phone calls, leave messages, talk to any one and everyone that may be able to...

  5. UCHSC supply list?

    RNin'08 replied to TemperStripe's topic in Colorado Nursing

    You can wear pretty much any style of scrub pants that make you happy. I wear the cargo style, all the pockets come in *very* handy. I also bought my own scrub tops and had the school embroider them...

  6. UCDHSC Waitlist?

    RNin'08 replied to kitsune01's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I believe that the students who were accepted have until mid April to turn in their letter of intent, so the school will probably be going through the waitlist into the first part of May as they find...

  7. Exempla hospitals

    RNin'08 replied to cardiaccassie's topic in Colorado Nursing

  8. PPCC advice

    RNin'08 replied to robynv's topic in Colorado Nursing

  9. UCDHSC Students (past or present)

    RNin'08 replied to Satori77's topic in Colorado Nursing

  10. UCDHSC Students (past or present)

    RNin'08 replied to Satori77's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I agree with line and bensmom, I've loved my experience so far with UCD (also graduating in Dec. 08!) The education has been great, I have only had one professor that I wouldn't recommend, and I feel...

  11. Best and Worst Schools?

    RNin'08 replied to Satori77's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Agreed, the waitlists were just too long for me. I put myself on the waitlist for FRCC (Westminster) around 4 years ago and still wouldn't be started (I still get their emails even though I've asked...

  12. Fundal pressure

    RNin'08 replied to Kristin_collegemom's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Can you give me the author(s) of the article? I tried to use the link but it didn't work...well it did but I'm not a member of the site so I couldn't access it. I tried to look it up by title through...

  13. Denver OR Nurses Help!!!

    RNin'08 replied to bridgfor428's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I know of new grad RNs being hired right out of school into the OR at Porter, Denver Health, and North Colorado Medical Center. I'm not sure how common/uncommon it is but I do know it can happen....

  14. Officially a Regis student

    RNin'08 replied to SemperFI's topic in Colorado Nursing

    CONGRATS!!!! Best of luck to you, it's going to be hard work but you can do it :) RNin'08 ~my reality check

  15. cervical checks, again

    RNin'08 replied to crissrn27's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm sitting here at my computer with my eyes closed spreading my fingers then looking to see the differences/similarities and DH walks around the corner...all I heard is "do I even want to know what...

  16. Expensive Books!!

    RNin'08 replied to sue10's topic in General Students

    6 *required* books for one class?? Wow. Most of my classes only have one or two required books and a few optional (but highly recommended) books. I haven't bought many optional books and by buying...

  17. health one pay?

    RNin'08 replied to dad2annika's topic in Colorado Nursing

    According to the Health One website average starting wage is around $23/hr + differential (couldn't find anything that said what the diff is or anything specific to new grads). You can get the number...

  18. L&D, Postpartum--Typical degrees

    RNin'08 replied to amillender's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I agree with Tiffani and would like to add that it's best to check with local facilities as well. In my area some of the larger hospitals (Children's, University, the level 1 trauma centers, etc.)...

  19. MMR didn't take?

    RNin'08 replied to confused101's topic in General Nursing

    I had titers drawn before starting nursing school and had to get the shots again because I wasn't showing immunity to measles. My doc recommended having titers drawn again in a year to see if I...

  20. Just wondering if anyone else has career related tattoo's

    RNin'08 replied to tattooednursie's topic in General Nursing

    I don't have any medical related tats yet, but I do have some ideas in the works. I'll probably wait until graduation and get one as a grad present for myself...I just got a new one a few months ago...

  21. Less Applicants for Nursing Programs?

    RNin'08 replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    I couldn't find anything to back up those kind of statistics in the quick search I did on yahoo and it certainly isn't the trend in my area. The community colleges around here have waitlists that...

  22. So Excited

    RNin'08 replied to opal6779's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't have any advice (sorry) but I wanted to say CONGRATS!! and good luck!! :) I'm also looking forward to a career in OB/L&D (starting my OB rotation on August 27!!)...

  23. Want to Leave My School

    RNin'08 replied to peace123's topic in General Nursing

    Call some of the other schools in your area and ask about their policies. Many of the schools in my area don't allow for transfer, except in extreme situations (mostly because of the differences in...

  24. Best Scrubs for Fatties

    RNin'08 replied to peds4now's topic in General Nursing

    Tell me about it...our school requires all black scrubs with black shoes...we're lovingly (I hope) referred to as 'the death squad' in more than a few of the local facilities. And to get back to the...

  25. Wait for AS or complete BSN

    RNin'08 replied to 2B_RN_2008's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I did the same thing. I took the classes I needed to get on the FRCC wait list and found out that it would be at least 3 to 5 years. I managed to get all of my pre-reqs for UCHSC and UNC done in about...
