  1. "Fighting" Cancer

    My3GuysinVA posted a topic in Oncology

    I've worked on a Medical-Oncology floor for 9 months now...long enough to have developed a very deep and sincere pet peeve. To me, it is worse than nails on a chalkboard, squeaky glass, or the voice...

  2. "Fighting" Cancer

    My3GuysinVA replied to My3GuysinVA's topic in Oncology

    Firstly, I am surprised that you do not understand the tone of my posting. There is no anger, no resentment, no lack of empathy, and I am currently in the running for a hospital-wide compassion award....

  6. Cheapest school in Hampton Roads

    My3GuysinVA replied to HeatherMax's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Admittedly, I'm a little biased, BUT for what it's worth... MCI is very overpriced and has a very high failure rate. The school and its representatives makes every effort to lure you with the fact...

    Hey, be grateful Smith's is using Blackboard!!! My prof. for the class I just passed RARELY ever posted anything on Bb. She posted study guides towards the end of class, when it was already crunch...

  8. Sentara ED

    My3GuysinVA posted a topic in Virginia Nursing

    Hello all, I've recently decided to apply to Sentara after I graduate from TCC's RN program in December and I'd like some 411 about the work environment in the ED. Does Sentara require color-coded...

    Thanks, both of you. Yeah...I'm not really counting my chx before they hatch, I just know where I will be going. I'm focused and have been working on this goal (with only a brief detour as a chef...

    Teachers have different ways of running things, but generally speaking, you lecture from 8 or 8:20 until 2 or 2:30 with 1 30-45 minute lunch break and several smaller breaks in between. Tuesday,...

    My3GuysinVA replied to 2bnurseforce1's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Not to my knowledge. It just a fresh rotation of students into 108 at the regular intervals: August, October, January, March. The only way to get into the program earlier is if students drop prior to...

    My3GuysinVA replied to 2bnurseforce1's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Each NUR class lasts 8 weeks. Until you get to your last semester, where you have some 16 wk classes. What do you mean, "after dismissal?" If you fail a nursing class, (correct me if I am mistaken...

    My3GuysinVA replied to 2bnurseforce1's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Well, we lost several in the first couple of weeks of 108 because Nursing was either not for them or school was incompatible with their life. Since then, we've lost the others as a result of not...

    My3GuysinVA replied to 2bnurseforce1's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Did you mean to ask how many students per class? If so, it can depend. On average, you'll start out with around 30 per Cohort. We're down to 19. Actually, it was 17, but we picked up some new...

    My3GuysinVA replied to 2bnurseforce1's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I've never personally seen anyone get an unsatisfactory in Clinicals. I've heard that it usually only occurs if your actions pose a danger to yourself or your patient. Some do well in 108 and get...

    My3GuysinVA replied to 2bnurseforce1's topic in Virginia Nursing

    It's probably not going to work out if you have to go to work on the same day you have class. Not much time to commute. Teachers have the power to change your class schedule so you might not get out...

    My3GuysinVA replied to 2bnurseforce1's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Hello all new TCC Nursing Students! Firstly, congratulations. To get into this program we've all had to go to he** and back. Unfortunately, that was merely purgatory, he** starts the first day of 108...

  20. white uniforms

    My3GuysinVA replied to kelsbarnet's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I've found that the beige or white "boyfriend-cut" undies work well too. No panylines to worry about and they keep everything where it needs to

    My3GuysinVA replied to iluvmynavyman's topic in Virginia Nursing

    From what I understand, TCC is MUCH harder to get into than Sentara. Sentara offers a more familial atmosphere while TCC is boot camp for nursing. The instructors are rumored to be nefarious. BUT, I...
