Yes...I made it through my first semester with just Bs, but I'm glad that I did it! Any others out there who just made it through their first semester?

Hi, do you know when we are supposed to get paid for our services? I didn't get paid for the one referral that I completed, so just thought I'd ask to see if anyone else knows what the payment cycle is. Thanks for any info!

Just completed my first Rebif training session today. It was rather easy to do. I did travel way out to the boondocks though! Anyone else do their first one recently?

I just received my first referral for Rebif training today. I will be going out in a few days to do the training. Has anyone else received their first referral?

I signed up with them to do the injection training sessions about a month or so ago. I never heard anything from them to date either. I completed the required training to do the Rebif and Norditropin training. I received some large boxes with all the...

I never brought books to class. As for clinicals, yes you definitely have to go to the clinical site (dressed in a lab coat) to get your patient assignment and to prepare for the next day. You have to go each week to the clinical site the evening bef...

Hi, yes you do have to go to the clinical site the evening before your scheduled clinical day to prepare for your patient. This was consistent for every clinical rotation that I had besides the final rotation, at which point you are expected to be fu...

I had to reply to this post. I qualify as a new grad also. I was offered a so-called coveted new grad residency at a teaching hospital. When the hiring manager informed me sternly that she "owned" me for the next two years - one for MY teaching and t...

thanks, HawaiianRN, for the information. I am sorry to hear of what you experienced. I also did not readily hear back from them either. I was encouraged to contact my case manager at the respective phone numbers located at the end of each contract. I...

Are there any threads on this website that list the companies that RNs can work for as independent contractors? Is there anyone who has actually worked for LifePlans or similar agencies so that they can perhaps give us some feedback? Any info is grea...

I just recently signed on to do the training sessions with them as well. I am so glad for all these wonderful posts on allnurses. I just got finished with the norditropin training on Friday and the rebif training about a week ago. I did not get any r...

I hope someone on these boards can help me or point me in the right direction. I am a non-traditional, full-time nursing student in my junior year. I just passed my boards over the summer and got my license to practice as an RN. I am researching the ...

Hello! I had to post here because I am usually a lurker (one who reads but doesn't post that much). But I took the Pearsonvue NCLEX-RN test yesterday morning, 8/18. I waited a few hours until the Pearsonvue website had my test marked as 'delivery suc...

Can anyone share what can be expected in the mental health rotation? We are starting our psych rotation in 2 weeks - yes, we have to go to nursing school during the summer at our college! I just thought I'd ask what the clinical entailed as far as pa...

Our med/surg class, final = 20%

Hi, I applied in March 2006 for a spot in Riv's nursing program (ADN) and didn't get accepted into the program until 9/07 so it took me 1 1/2 yrs. I was also put on the 'waiting list' initially in March but that does not mean you will get in. I think...

Hopefully things will work out for you. Perhaps it is just that you both are so caught up in the stress of school, that just a day or two of some rest and relaxation might bring you both back to your senses. I am sure you already know this, but under...

The best thing I've ever bought for nursing school...the one that I've used constantly and has proven to be invaluable...is my PDA. The PDA will prove to be a life-saver and a time-saver, not only through your days of clinicals and school but also wh...

Hi, it really sounds as if you are passionate about being a nurse, so I would keep on trying if I were you. Since you seem to only be having difficulty with the math, perhaps you can take a math 101 type course, if you have not already done so. Medic...

I really can relate to all of the posts within this thread. Many of us are going through the exact same thing. I, too, have just finished the first semester and I'm also debating whether this is all worth it or not. I must be VERY lucky, because to b...

Sorry for saying this...but I felt compelled to respond to this post. I will venture to say this...even though your bone of contention appears to be with the person who posted the quote, "C=RN", I feel compelled to add my two cents. I pose this quest...

I have to agree with the post by Sweetooth. This student may very well have some viable reason why the baths were not done. I just finished my first clinical rotation last week. I have not given bed baths hardly ever, for a myriad of reasons. To just...

Now that's a funny poem!

Well, this is one of my biggest fears about becoming a nurse...the 'when-will-I-faint' terror. I haven't had this experience yet, but I am always worried that the day will come that I will not be able to stomach a certain wound or procedure and I don...

Perhaps you can try one of those books, "Health Assessments for Dummies". I bought this book just for the information and it was really helpful. It is written in very easy-to-understand terms so that just about anyone would be able to use it to do he...
