1. I failed a class- should I go to Pinning?

   nursemama12 replied to nursemama12's topic in General Students

   I tried to be there! My car broke down and by the time that we got home to take my husband's car, the ceremony was already 30 min underway. It was a 58 mile trip! I never would have made it to see anyone else pinned let alone get pinned myself.

2. I failed a class- should I go to Pinning?

   nursemama12 replied to nursemama12's topic in General Students

   Thanks for all of the input. I did make the decision to go. My family and I got all dressed up, had a nice dinner, and started to make the 58 mile (we live far from the school and even farther from the pinning location) to the pinning site. We hit st...

3. I failed a class- should I go to Pinning?

   nursemama12 replied to nursemama12's topic in General Students

   It has really helped reading that I am not the only one who has faced this kind of setback. Sometimes when something bad happens it often feels very lonely- like you are the only one in the world that it has happened to. We had 400 qualified people ...

4. I failed a class- should I go to Pinning?

   nursemama12 replied to nursemama12's topic in General Students

   Well, after getting about 10 really positive phone calls from classmates I have decided to go to pinning. I am not 100% certain about this decision, but I have to admit that I feel loved by my classmates and like I am wanted there. Thanks for all of ...

5. I failed a class- should I go to Pinning?

   nursemama12 replied to nursemama12's topic in General Students

   The good news is that I would not be the only one. I do know a couple of people who are not graduating (either HESI or Critical Care) who will be there. Do any of you know people who never went to their Prom in High School? I know a couple who made ...

   Thanks. I would actually still be able to be pinned- I am just not able to graduate.

7. I failed a class- should I go to Pinning?

   nursemama12 posted a topic in General Students

   I failed my critical care class by 2 points and will have to retake it in the spring. I am so bummed about having to wait to graduate, but my class is allowing people who failed critical care and those who have to retake the HESI to attend pinning. I...

8. Baylor Hospital

   nursemama12 replied to Best.at.heart's topic in Texas

   Hi Billie! Baylor really is a great hospital system. Their benefits are pretty good and because they are a nonprofit, you would still be eligible for the NELRP. I was hoping for a job at Baylor All Saints or JPS, but as All Saints wasn't hiring becau...

9. Baylor Hospital

   nursemama12 replied to Best.at.heart's topic in Texas

   It sure did! I honestly don't think that there is a better hospital in the DFW area for learning about L&D. At Parkland you would have to fight with the med students to do procedures! My name is Lea btw :). I am looking forward to meeting you th...

    nursemama12 replied to Best.at.heart's topic in Texas

    That is great that you already have experience! What hospital are you working at? This is my first job out of nursing school and I am really excited. I actually changed careers into nursing because I wanted to be a L&D nurse. I am a labor doula, ...

11. Baylor Hospital

    nursemama12 replied to Best.at.heart's topic in Texas

    Yes! I will be there in Jan as well! I am thrilled. The unit is really nice (in comparison with Parkland). It looks like we will be in class together! What school do you go to? I am at TWU in Dallas.

    I am sorry to hear that some of you are having problems finding a job. That really sucks. My school has a career services department that helped me rewrite my resume, work on interviewing skills, and just general interview coaching. It really helped!

    The interview this semester was a group interview. They brought in everyone that they wanted to interview on a Saturday and each of us was interviewed by a different manager. They called with an offer within a week.

    Well, I interviewed at both Parkland and Baylor for L&D. I was actually offered a job at Parkland this week, but I turned it down. I am in the process of interviewing at JPS and I would rather work there plus I just got an offer at a private hosp...
