I am so excited! I have a phone interview later today for a full time postition on a progressive care unit. Any advice from someone who knows about them/works on one/has worked on
Hey everyone!! I just found out last week that I got accepted into Waubonsee Community College's nursing program!! I will be starting in October. Has anyone gone there? Any advice? What did your...
I worked waiting table while I was pregnant with twins until the doctor told me I had to stop (pre-eclampsia). They both turned out perfect. Your body will tell you when too much is too much. Do you...
Ug. I hate the waiting. I had an interview 2 weeks ago. I got an e-mail last week that said they are still doing interviews and I should hear more by the end of this week. I am hoping that means I'm...
My FIL always thinks the progression of his children's births were funny. In 1971 they had their oldest and he was shown to the waiting room. In 1975 they had their second and he was asked if he...
I think it is stupid to judge people based on names. I had a very memorable maiden name. Alot of times people thought I was joking when I told them. Even though it could be embarrassing, I had a hard...
I would take anything I could get my hands on right now. I have applied at outpatient services and home care and they all say "This is not the appropriate avenue for a new grad. Try applying at...
I just took (and passed!) my NCLEX last week. I took Kaplan and learned that nursing assistants do standard/unchanging procedures (glucose checks, routine vitals, baths-- don't know about foleys) and...
I will also add that while they were telling us these things (the graduating class officers came to speak to us) I was thinking something along the lines of "What a bunch of drama queens! Can't handle...
I honestly don't think anything could have prepared me for nursing school. They said alot of these things to us at orientation, but there is no way to know what you are in for. PS- I am done in 4...
Ug. We have careplans week to week and for the last 2 classes a mega care plan as well, worth a test grade. Not fun. Especially when we are inthe middle of trying to study for critical care
I am bored... but I should be studying for my endocrine test tomorrow. I don't have much time off between this class and my summer class. I take my test tomorrow and then we are off Friday, Saturday,...
Our class is similar. We are down to 18 people and we are close. I am glad not to be in a competitive class. We all support each other and celebrate good grades together and cry over bad grades...
We get our grades online and for most classes we see our grade and "class statistics" which includes highest grade, lowest grade, and distribution of how many grades between 60-70, 70-80, 80-90, and...

I have had two c-secs. My oldest (2004) I was in bed probably close to 24 hours. I had no medical training then. They asked me if I was ready to get up, I said "No" they didn't press the issue....
