Baptist Grad here....Dec 2009....honest talk here... don't sweat getting in that's easy, it's STAYING in that's the hard part. I had several friends fail out our last year and I was 2 points away myself. Please, please, please, a bit of advice from m...

I agree with you on this one....as a hospice nurse, you will have to focus yourself on the fact that ...it is not about you...but the patient/family. I am Christian, however when we have staff meetings for all employees, and start with prayer in a ro...

I've been a Hospice RN/Case manager for one year...love it! And I was a rookie nurse...lol...only one year of med surg experience. I think hiring decisions may depend on what that particular company is focusing on. My company, at the time when i inte...

I'm a Hospice RN/Case Manager in TN with 1 year hospice experience....and I only had one year med surg experience when I applied for the hospice job. I would advise you as a new grad to apply for any and all jobs that are willing to hire you....but f...

I just graduated 12/10. There are fewer jobs now than there was earlier this year. But, also many of my classmates have not found jobs because they are being specific about where they want to work (ICU, CCU, L&D, etc). In this economy, new grads ...

Also I have worked at Methodist for 7 years, and our nurses DO NOT make as much as Baptist nurses. Starting pay was around 18.00 last time I checked.

I'm a Baptist student. From what I see every rotation, the ratio has been about 6-10 patients to 1 nurse. But I also want to add that these were on the floors where students worked too. So the nurses weren't really stressed because the students actua...

It's a unit secretary.....the floor secretary (enters orders, supplies, paperwork, etc)

From start to finish the overall program is four years if you follow the suggested curriculum, full time. For transfer students, of course it's shorter than that, it all depends on how many general education credits you transfer in with. Outside of y...

I'm entering Adult I now. From Foundations I learned to, focus on what your lecture instructor says. THE NURSING TESTS ARE NOT THE SAME AS ANY OTHER CLASS! The test questions are multiple choice of course, BUT some test questions may have 2/3 correct...

I'm doing the 2 year deferral now. The semester before your clinicals start(Foundations course), they will send out an email for applicants. You then sign up for an interview appointment on the sign up sheet in admissions. Your interview will be a pa...

I'm not familiar with any info on the loan forgiveness. As far as the starting pay, from what the HR reps told me...someone from the HR department will be coming out to talk to us in our final semester, with info on the starting salary, loan forgiven...

The night & weekend program IS full time once you start you clinical rotations. Our clinical rotations are like this... from Adult Health I forward, the classes are 6 weeks each, thats 2 clinical classes in ONE trimester. Our clinical classes are...

Methodist-Lebonheur is a good company to work for...I've been here for almost 7 years. I'm a 3rd year nursing student and they have paid for all of my tuition costs. I worked at Leb for 3 years, then transferred to the adult hospital. The only downsi...

Baptist college here in memphis does this. You are offered "tuition deferral" and a guaranteed job when you sign a contract during your 3rd year of school. You have to fulfill a work commitment of 2 years at any Baptist hospital. You must interview ...

From my experience....you can transfer certain credits. But the overall admission into their nursing program is ridiculous. You must take the Pre-NLEX, A&P 1/2, and Microbiology. All of that plus your current GPA is indexed together to determine ...

I'm currently an evening/weekend student in my junior year. I do work full time days at another hospital, but I'm looking to change that with my upcoming clinical semester. I'm hoping that I can get on part time at Baptist. Up to this point (3rd yr),...
