I take mine Feb. 18. did Hurst Review last week, I really enjoyed it. I like the way Marlene sets points across! Wishing for the best!

Yes, they are right there are lots of new grads and lots of people moving from techs to interns etc. I can give you the name of the nurse recruiter I spoke with from Baptist if you like, send me a PM if you'd like it. Also, I don't know which you wou...

our school just likes to take it slow, and took forever mailing things off.. anyways, my question was to anyone that has yahoo email, did it come to your main email or in your bulk/junk box? and also what is the name/subject line i should be looking ...

Well, I have been an intern for Baptist East, and I have now signed with them, the floor I am on has a 14 week long orientation. As far as CNA's/PCA's go, the only time I notice that they are short is on the weekends, the same with secretaries, I wor...

Ok, there is a lot you can and can't do. Like I said base pay is 16.61 weekend (starts friday at 3 pm) is 1.66 and evening 3-11 is .99 they stack on top of each other. Not sure for night, never worked it. You are not supposed to do blood sugars, mess...

when do you need it by? or should i say does it have to be like face to face? my mom was dx'ed with cancer in 2001, in nov. of 2005 they said it was terminal and they gave her 4-6 months to live, she is still her, got to see me get married 6 mths ago...

UGH! what a jerk! I woulda probably pulled my diabetic thing.. "freakin idiot my blood sugar is low.. back off" but honestly.. shoulda invited him to come visit nursing school... wonder how many students pick up smoking while in school? a LOT.. that'...

In Jackson? If so, it's headed towards down town. off highland. They are doing a lot of construction. A LOT. They just increased pay there. They do have sign on bonuses. Hefty for night time full time sign on. (two year contract)

we practiced on the injection pads also.. which to me do little justice... i was dx'ed with type 1 diabetes when i was 15.. and they made me stick an orange... i stuck it so much it got bloated and seeped fluid.. that didn't help much but i sure know...

I want to wish you luck.. i have 2 .... TWO clinicals left... i still remember my first clinical... i can't even tell you how intimidated i was... i had to have someone go into the room with me... pitiful i know... now i just want to go and get it ov...

the only thing that I noticed that hasn't been stressed which might just be a school thing... which you might want to consider since your IN school in all.. we have to chart every 2 hours and in the charting we have to note some kind of safety...like...

that also happened to me when i first started... the teachers just always said.. "the answer is on the page" ok.. well duh... i would always get it down to 2 and 8 out of 10 times pick the wrong one... it was hard to me... but it has taken me several...

couldn't it also mean 5ml tuberculin syringe? since that's all they have available? someone just got confused since they were talking about insulin in the beginning maybe?

well i got up and scrummaged? is that a word? and looked for an syringes i could find I use the pump now so i don't keep many syringes around but all I found would point to what DTN said.. actually the only ones i found was the 1 ml one's that the ph...

I used to live in Jackson we moved to memphis over the summer... couldn't make me work at the main hospital in jackson. I hate having clinicals there. Miserable. Glad I only have 2 clinicals left. Also the pay here is not too bad, and including shift...

for the record the intern pay has gone up a little... 16.61 before shift diff... hey every bit helped me!

technically no once you graduate and take boards you can go straight to L&D you don't have to start down and work up. in nursing school you will have your on section covering lots and lots of L&D stuff... what happens if the baby comes too ea...

The Med has places that allow for intern/extern positions, Methodist and Baptist does also. I am not sure about St. Francis. but am positive about the three listed above. the pay is the best at baptist. from what I've heard the experience is best at ...

Right now I am an intern so I work with PCA's alot and I've gotten to see a lot of what goes on. Honestly, from what I have seen between the interaction between patients and pca's and also nurses and pca's. On some floors I work on, I respect the pca...

i'm ready to be done too!!! dec. 14th won't come soon enough!! one thing i have noticed that is different from the other semester... SO MANY PROJECTs.... TONS... everything else was to be expected... continue the countdown!!

We have 2 clinicals left... 2 tests left... final exam...exit exam... hesi...and leadership hesi... all before pinning on dec. 14th. I have my 1st interview this coming thursday. I would have probably already had some interviews by now i just waited ...

We've done Hesi's since the beginning and they just convert it to a grade and they count towards our final grade. It is a bit harder, but also helps prepare for the Nclex in a way because it covers stuff you haven't necessarily been taught in class. ...

Hey, I also am an insulin dependent diabetic and I have an insulin pump. I have noticed that in the quick paced environment, I often get low because we dont get scheduled lunch breaks. I am hoping I will not have to experience the problem you are bei...

non nursing classes are 70%, nursing classes are 75%. We have periodic quizzes throughout the semester... and we do not get credit for the quizzes unless we have atleast a 74.5 at the end of the semester, so essentially they count as bonus. Heather
