  2. NVCC 2nd year RN Clinicals Class of 2009

    Oh, and I am glad you got your first choice in the NICU! That's awesome. You are going to have a great preceptorship. I had originally wanted to do something in OB/Labor and Delivery, but when I...
  3. NVCC 2nd year RN Clinicals Class of 2009

    Flames, how do you have clinical on Sundays and you have a preceptorship? I thought we only had 3 choices. Krenee, sorry you are having such a hard
  4. NVCC 2nd year RN Clinicals Class of 2009

    That sucks that it's so much walking on eggshells. At least for me though, it really increased my confidence so much once I was done with her
  5. NVCC 2nd year RN Clinicals Class of 2009

    Good to know. I think I am nervous because it seems like everyone in my rotation knows exactly what unit they are on already. Krenee, how are you doing in your rotation? I think you are in with a...
  6. NVCC 2nd year RN Clinicals Class of 2009

    Hey, are any of you guys doing preceptorships second rotation? Just curious - I am trying to figure out if I am the only person who still doesn't know where I am going specifically. It's making me...

    I passed! At least I think so... in my gradebook it has a minus in front of the P. Does that mean almost
  8. NVCC 2nd year RN Clinicals Class of 2009

    I really hope I did all right on the dosage calcs too. It seemed like the questions were a little tougher than the last one, even though they keep saying the math didn't change from semester 3 to...
  9. New grads at Children's?

    What is the hiring process like? After being so worried, I have an interview lined up on Wednesday in Hem/Onc. I am so worried, though, I am an inexperienced new grad. What kinds of things do they...
  10. I am going to graduate in May, and I am starting to fill out applications. I asked for a reference from one of my instructors and she requested a list of the places I think I'll be applying. Right...
  11. How many hospitals did you apply to?

    Thanks for all the info. I originally did start off small, but I talked to a couple of nurse recruiters who acted like it would be significantly harder for me to get work at their hospitals because I...
  12. NVCC, pregnancy and clinicals

    I am going into my 4th semester of nursing school at NVCC. I haven't been pregnant while in the program, but I have been pregnant twice in other times, and I would do just about everything I could to...
  13. NVCC First yr students, How goes the battle?

    I agree that she's all bark and no bite. I would honestly not have a huge problem with taking her again, except for the fact that that schedule was hard on me last semester when I did it. I am glad...
  14. NVCC First yr students, How goes the battle?

    I did better on the final than I had ever hoped, which really helped me because this semester was pretty mediocre for me. It seems like everyone I know who was on the borderline made it through,...
  15. NVCC First yr students, How goes the battle?

    So how did everyone do? I am so glad it's over for a
  16. New grads at Children's?

    Does childrens' hire a lot of ADN nurses? I have had a hard time getting anyone from HR on the phone
  17. NO EVEING RN OR LPN Classes available

    I wish I could have found a part time program or evening program for nursing. I also work, and was not able to cut down as much as I wanted to. At my school I did the online program. While I still...
  18. NVCC First yr students, How goes the battle?

    I know a lot on the borderline, too, actually. I think there are a lot who did all right the first couple of semesters but didn't do that well, and those people are having an even harder time
  19. NVCC First yr students, How goes the battle?

    That sucks, krenee. Yes, people do get dropped. And I just had Ms. A and found she really wasn't that evil, but I know there are other stories out there about her, and either way it is really...
  20. NVCC First yr students, How goes the battle?

    I got the 0B2H
  21. NVCC First yr students, How goes the battle?

    I actually wouldn't mind taking ms. A again - she wasn't horrible and she seemed to like me. LOL. The thing is, the 2 nights in a row is just killing my family life, my kids, etc., so I can't do it...
  22. NVCC First yr students, How goes the battle?

    I am in a preceptorship for the second rotation too, hopefully in Oncology. I am going to try and register for 0B2H clinical. I haven't done a 13 hour one yet and am a little afraid of those shifts...
  23. NVCC First yr students, How goes the battle?

    Well, we're there 14 times. I really love Dr. P, but the environment is just so depressing, to me at least. I would rather do another rotation with Ms. A, but don't tell anyone that. Where are...
  24. NVCC First yr students, How goes the battle?

    Yeah, I really dislike my psych rotation as well. I am so glad we're almost done, it's killing
  25. ?'s about NVCC

    I did CLEP for many of my prerequisites. The key is to spend a lot of time studying just as you would for a final in a
