  1. Bed bath skill check

    nrselisa posted a topic in General Students

    Do you have to bathe each other during your bed bath skill check? We have to wear a bathing suit or shorts & a halter top. We also have to brush each others teeth. I was just wondering if this was...

    Hello! I am an LPN grad of DTCC Terry Campus. I am trying to decide where I will go to finish my education. I just wanted to wish you luck. I know it may seem so stressful & impossible, but you'll...

    nrselisa replied to webbiedebbie's topic in General Nursing

    I work weekend alternative, but I agreed to come in tomorrow from 7a to 3p. It shouldn'y be too bad. When you are used to working 12 hr shifts, 8 hrs feels like 1/2 a day. :) Then it's off to...

  5. Overtime

    nrselisa replied to MsBruiser's topic in General Nursing

    The longest I have worked is 16 hours. At my hospital you do not have to work 40 hours to receive OT, if you come in to work extra hours while they are short, you receive time and a half. If you have...

  10. Snow days

    nrselisa replied to essarge's topic in General Students

    I'm in Dover, De. I don't know if we have to make up missed days or not. I think it would be pretty much impossible. The summer semester starts almost right after the spring semester ends. Plus,...

    nrselisa replied to Marlo2bRN's topic in General Students

    We have a pinning ceremony (May 13th) and graduation (May 19). The pinning ceremony is supposed to be very emotional. I'm looking forward to it, but dread the amount of work that I have to do between...
