My story goes like this... I am a 33 year old, happily married, mom of three. All of my kidos are in school this year. Wa Hoo for no more preschool $$$. I am in my last year of nursing school. It has been three years of hard work. My Fall semes...

WAY TO GO!!! :balloons:

Is it a good idea when interviewing to let the unit know of future goals such as pursuing my NNP? I know that for me, one thing I am looking for in a hospital is tuition assisstance. However, I was unclear if my future goal would help or hinder me....

Great point.........An ideal answer to the "how do you see yourself in blank years" question, is, especially in nicu ... "I would like to concentrate on obtaining a solid foundation in nicu , learn all I can and perfect the skills needed here". i ...

Hello everyone! I am looking for opinions on how early to apply for a position to the NICU. I graduate May 06. If everything works as I am hoping, I will precept in the NICU that I am looking to get hired in. If not, how early should I think abou...

Gompers, Thanks so much for our input. I agree wholeheartedly with your post. I know so much can change in one's life and future plans. While the NNP route is something I have thought about pursuing in the future, who knows, once I have actually b...

Right, I guess I thought about the 12 hour shift part and decided I would actually prefer them. However, I really did not give much thought to the idea of not seeing my children on Christmas. That would truly be a bummer and I can totally understan...

So, what did you say? It would have taken me a few minutes to come up with an answer for that one. Jenny

Hey Liz, Thanks for the info. I too thought I had read that for sure I should apply in Jan for a summer position. I hope to be in the unit in Jan doing my preceptorship. We will have to wait and see how it goes. :) Jenny

Well it just doesn't get any better than that does it!! Keep us posted on how it goes.

Thanks for your reply. Did you have a formal interview or just an application? I have been watching the hospitals list of employment openings and have found that the NICU seems to have at least two openings at all times. Good luck on your career a...

Are they worth it...YOU BETCHA!! I have a Sony Clie and never leave home without it. I have had it for about two years. It is truly a lifesaver. I have a drug guide, diagnostic program, lab guide, and several other programs which have proven them...

Hello all, I am in the last year of my 4 year program and have just completed my peds and ob clinicals. I spent 6 weeks in the L and D area which included the well baby nursery. I m looking to do my preceptorship in the nicu and think I have a very ...

Found it!! You don't have to reply to my specific question, unless you just want to. I found my answer. Greetings to everyone again and have a happy 4th.

Two more semesters to go at St. Louis University!! Enjoy the summer! Jenny

Thanks for the input. I don't think you can go wrong with either but I thought I would just see what owners had to say about theirs. Thanks so much, Jenny

Okay, I know we have beat this subject to death many times however, I am going to beat it just once more. We order out steths on Monday. I have it narrowed to the Littman Classic II and the Cardio III. Without considering the cost difference, which...

Well, it sounded so good I ran out today and bought it. I was teary on the prologue. I figured I better get it right away, lord knows once the semester gets going I will have no time for recreational reading... Jenny

Very excited here but also terrified. I had a cpr recert yesterday and I was quite nervous while I preformed my cpr while testing. After completing the test I laughed with my friend when we pictured how we would feel administering our first shot! ...

I just got back from purchasing my Danskos!! Wa HOO!!

oh, I can relate, rnnurse2be, We had the no touching thing in A&P II also. It was not like that for me in A&P I so it kind of freaked me out. I managed with an A, but I studied my tail off. I lived, ate and breathed A&P II for those 4...

I have a sony clie. I love love love it. I haven't downloaded any extra stuff either, however, I have researched the availability of programs that I may need and they are out there. If you do a search at the bottom of the main page on the student s...

Without a doubt. I have set hight standards for myself and for my family. I love it when I come home from school with a good grade and can share that with my kids. They see how much time and effort I put into my studies and they also see that it D...

Oh, I love ebags too. I have a rolling Eastpack.. I love it, very good quality and handles the heavy A&P books, lab manuals and nutrition book, plus snack and anything else you could possibly imagine. It also has a padded laptop spot. Eastpack...

I always check half.com for my books. So far I have this semester I have purchased two books for the price of 1 at the bookstore and other places on the web. I have also sold several things from books to flashcards. I think they are a great resour...
