I am an RN that has accepted a position as an MBSCR. I have one surgery center. I have tried to research salary for this position, but I cannot find it anywhere. Even just a round about or a salary range would be nice. Working about 12-15 hours/week....

Direct loans is awful. I had the hardest time just logging in to pay. You would think they would they would make it easy, like everyone else so they can get paid. Its ridiculous & frustrating, but not sure there is anything that can be done. That...

I am so sorry to hear this. I always loved reading her posts. She had so much knowledge & it was wonderful that she shared it. I Learned so much from her.

"That's insane! How are you juggling the 12 hours shifts and classes at the same time? I'm going to just be starting my ADN and was thinking about doing the same thing.

"That's insane! How are you juggling the 12 hours shifts and classes at the same time? I'm going to just be starting my ADN and was thinking about doing the same thing." I started working as a tech in my 3rd semester. I was nervous, but it ended up ...

I almost get this but am having an issue with the timing- which is probably the easiest part :) I know that you calculate from the time the pt. was burned, so, if my pt. was burned at 1 am and admit was at 8 am, does that mean that the fluid has to b...

Yeah, I saw that thread, but it didn't help me. I appreciate it though. Thanks. I actually figured it out though. You have to subtract however many hours you missed from the 8 hours to figure out how much time you have to give the 1st 1/2 of the flui...

I was alternate #50 last August & I got in. Just offering some hope :) Also, the students who got in probably had Micro completed already. If they all have it & you don't I was told that bumps you back. You can get in without it, but they adm...

Hello all! Thank you for all of the responses! Well, it sounds like working in a Peds hospital will be doable, as long as I structure my training around it...which I'd do b/c I know that's where I want to work. Thing is, I'd be working in Southern...

My grandmother had been in & out of a rehab center for a while; in pain for as long as I can remember. My grandfather would visit when he could. Then, my grandmother was admitted to the hospital.....not shortly after, my grandfather was admitted ...

what session are you an alternate for? are all of your pre-req's completed now that you have been chosen as an alternate or are you still lacking some? thanks for all the info also. i have a 3.8, but lacking micro, so i'll prob have to wait until fal...

Many people also use this......... Let me give you some advise. Its advice people!!! Makes me nuts.

I feel that prestige plays an enormous role in the work that we do every day. There are many individuals that spent countless hours in school--i.e., physicians, nurse practioners, CRNAs, etc. and they deserve the respect they receive. These folks a...

3.7 sounds like a pretty competitive GPA, but is speech included in the GPA they use? I thought they only used there required prerqs to calculate GPA. Don't remember if speech was one them or not. I know AP I & II for sure & Mirco, but can't ...

I got in after the first time I applied for Fall, but.....................the first letter I got said that I was on the alternate list, so if people dropped out, I would get that spot, but.............I was #50 so I saw no hope. All I could do was wa...

Thank you so much to everyone for posting these helpful websites, notes & quizzes. I love this site!

We were told to palpate the radial pulse when trying to find the baseline. Once the pulse fades we go 30mmHG above the number of what was shown. :yeahthat: We were told this as well and this is what I did on my skills check off.

if you want to get it done faster, yes you will have to take the night classes because they don't stop for the summer. it will be fall 08', spring 09', summer 09' and graduation december 09', 16 months like you said. it is difficult to go through t...

What about a private loan??? Anyone done this say with Sallie Mae? I will be looking into it. I will let you know what I find out. Hang in there!

I have just learned that I am an alternate. At first I thought "at least I have a chance", but I found out today that I am #50. I am a little shocked and have no idea what my chances are. It doesn't look good. What are the chance that 50 people will ...

I just got a call from the Nursing School today........... I got a seat for FALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAH! Just wanted to thank you all for helping me keep the faith. Looking forward to posting questions.....and being able to offer ...

Thats funny......I feel like they groan when I call too . Maybe try to email them. Good luck to you!

I got my acceptance letter for Spring yesterday!!!! I am pretty sure I was in the 2nd pool because my micro wasn't finished until this summer. Good luck to you all!

I replied to this, but now I see that you may have been discussing the LPN-RN and I was telling you what happened with me for the ASN, so I deleted my post. Sorry about that, but I hope you get in anyway!! GOOD LUCK!

do you mean that you applied for the summer 2008 (deadline was May 1st) and still haven't heard yet? Sorry if I was confusing. I applied for August 2008 and found out I was an alternate. To be on the safe side, I applied for Spring 2009 (deadline ...
