Dallas is the same...very few new grad internships available. I am applying everywhere possible.

I saw that newscast too and just had to laugh. The vast majority of hospitals are not hiring much at all and some are shutting down altogether. The majority of the students in my class, including myself, are all having problems finding GN jobs in May...

Yea I've had some really nice ones and some real stinkers. One made me cry but I was just having a bad day already and she set me off. For 1st semester I had Mr. McCarty - he is the nicest instructor by far! I definitely would recommend him. And good...

i am currently an extern at methodist dallas in the er. plan to apply for the internship to start in june. i absolutely love the place. best hospital i have worked with or had clinical experience with. i also worked at st. paul for a bit last year as...

Admitting Dx: "Can't Stop Crying" (for 3 days straight)...and she was right. She sat in a bed in the hall and cried for hours!

I had it done about 3 years ago. Best decision I ever made! Wish I had done it sooner! No pain, just a bit of nerves. Over in just a few seconds!

Which semester was your worst and best... so far for me: 1st - EASIEST 2nd - BEST (I really liked OB/Peds) 3rd - WORST/HARDEST 4th - TBD (should be the best since it's the LAST!)

LOL Yang - me and and a fellow classmate are also wanting to take a cruise when we graduate! We just took our final today. I got an 82 which was enough to get me to 4th semester. I am so glad to be in the final stage of this. Next Monday I start my ...

I am so jealous. I am studying for my final cumulative exam for tomorrow. I need a 65 to pass. Surely I can do that!!!! Then on to 4th semester. Just 6 more months - yay! Which was the worst semester in y'alls opinion? Third has kicked my butt!

Well I had my interview and was hired! I am super excited. Everyone was so nice and really put me at ease. Orientation starts Dec 15th. Woohoo! Now if I can just pass this final cumulative exam for 3rd semester - ugh!

ER is kind of intimidating but I know I would learn a lot...if I can keep my nerves under control

Has anyone here taken an extern position at Methodist? I am interviewing for a spot in the ER. Just curious to see how people felt about it.

"Hell Centro" ... love it! and totally agree! Had my cardiac test today too - got an A and definitely worked my rear off for it! Yay, I'm not failing anymore - woot woot!!

I hear that! I am carrying on from 1994 - gheesh wish I could go back and do it all different...live and learn huh!?

Has anyone heard of the Parkland SNAP (Student Nurse Assistance Program)? You work part-time as a Student Nurse and they pay you $2550 per semester - for each semester you must commit to 6 mos of work at Parkland upon graduation. Just trying to decid...

Thanks Louise! I do have a Saunders book and several other resources to pull from...I will be so glad when May 09 rolls around! More than halfway done now. Time to suck it up and keep on truckin.

Yikes that doesnt sound good! I have the same test tomorrow and am having so much trouble knowing what to study! Doesnt help that the tegrity recordings wont play and the notes are so unorganized - these teachers should take a class on page layout an...

Were any 4th semester clinicals done by the end of March? Or before spring break?

Does anyone have the Tegrity link for 3rd semester material? I had the podcasts previously but now they do not play...hmmm? Thanks!

NEVER break sterile technique!!!!!

How is everyone's summer going? What clinical did y'all get? I will be at St. Paul.

I have a Small top (still in the plastic wrapper) I would sell if anyone is interested. I bought three and really only needed two. PM me if interested.

YANG - you are so popular :)

Just for fun...I had to snap a shot of my bengal kittens. They just discovered the dryer.
