Hi all, Has anyone had any experience working there, or does anyone know of this hospital's reputation? Considering a position there... Thank you in advance for the info. Kisses Lily

Check this out from youtube, too funny! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFYf6kiA1B0&NR=1 It's a remake of Justin Timberlake "Sexy Back" medical style. Let me know what you think!

Assalamu alaikum! (Peace be with you) So cool to hear from a fellow Muslim on the boards! I'm a pre-pre-nursing student... Planning to go to nursing school in five years when my baby is old enough, so I don't have much experience as well, but I know some Muslim nurses and like the other posters said, they wear long sleeved shirts under their scrubs, with either an "Amira style" one or two piece stretch hijab, or a regular scarf tied in the back. Glad you'll be joining the ranks of the greatest job on earth, and I hope to follow soon! Peace! :balloons:

So I've been reading the thread: "What did nursing school do to you?" and I'm getting worried because a common complaint was this 20+ lbs weight gain... What's with that? What would you say is the main cause of that? I go to the gym for an hour 5 days a week early morning, like at 6:30am. Is it realistic to expect to still be able to do that during nursing school? thanks! :-)

thank you for your reply BabyRN2be good luck in your studies and career too! :)

posting again, hoping to get some replies... :-)

Hello everyone, I would like to first start by stating that you are all my heroes. Not all nurses are great nurses, but you ladies (and gents) obviously care about your profession and I have seen such compassion expressed time and time again in your posts, I wouldn't mind having you at my bedside any day of the week! I have been lurking here for the past three years and a burning question has finally brought me out... I am planning on going back to school and getting my AA in nursing soon. My children will still be young and after the torture that those two years will be on my family, I am hoping to find a position where I could work week-ends only and still be considered full-time (I think an arrangement like this goes by the name of the "Baylor Plan"). What I need your invaluable input on, is whether or not it is realistic for a new grad to work in a hospital under that plan. Is this a plan that is reserved for more experienced nurses? Is it a bad idea to work such few hours as a new grad when I very much need to practice my newly learned knowledge and skills? Does your hospital offer such a plan? What are the specifics of that plan (how many hours/wk, salary, benefits etc.)? And in your experience what kind of people (experience, age, level of enthusiasm for their work) usually work those shifts? I know I have bombarded you with questions and I hope you will find a few minutes of your very busy and noble life to shed some light on my concerns. Thank you so much in advance! Waterlily :-)
