  1. Nurse eating their young?

    HGJ78 replied to Ms. Amy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I agree with those that are saying this is just rudeness. We have a new grad nurse that started nights on our unit that acts the same way during report. I think it is her attempt at "proving" herself...

  2. do RN residency programs really make a difference?

    HGJ78 replied to gummibear's topic in General Nursing

    I am in month 9 of a 12 month RN residency program. The program incooporates RNs from all over the hospital in different practice areas, the majority of us are May 2010 graduates so we are all very...

  3. Asked why I want to do office over hospital in interview...

    HGJ78 replied to W, RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I started as an LPN in an office and I loved it, as an RN I have found it much harder to find a job in an office but I would go back in a minute! I currently work in a super busy med/surg unit in a...

  4. Looking for a new job after 4 months...

    HGJ78 replied to sunshine547's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I worked in LTC for 3 months before getting the job that I have now, I did let my employer know that the facility was just not a good fit for me and that I was going to be applying at other...

  5. Feeling kinda dumb

    HGJ78 posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    So, I'm a new grad in my first nursing job. I am in week 4 of a 6 week preceptorship on a busy M/S unit. I am at the point where I am delegating responsibilities to my preceptor and juggleing the load...

  6. Supplies for New RN's

    HGJ78 replied to kae2010's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Red or diff color pens, they help to make your notes to yourself about things that need documented later stand out a bit. I also carry a small little note pad in my pocket for quick notes to myself...

  7. A&P2 or Micro at Colorado CC online?

    HGJ78 replied to SnowStar4's topic in Colorado Nursing

    When I took classes through the ccc system I did not get a choice about who I could take as an instructor. They may have changed the system since then. The instructors that I had were decent, no...

  8. A&P2 or Micro at Colorado CC online?

    HGJ78 replied to SnowStar4's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I took both A&P 2 and Micro through the CCConline system and in my experience the lab manual is only sold as part of the labpaq. I don't think that you could buy it separately. The labs are...

  9. All About the NET

    HGJ78 replied to 9livesRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks Csantos! I have been doing my practice tests for 10 days now and I take the NET Friday. I feel good but yesterday when I read that there may be geometry on the test I got a little weak in the...

  10. All About the NET

    HGJ78 replied to 9livesRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just curious as I am taking the NET this Friday about whether or not there are any geometry questions on the math section of the test. I have been working the practice tests but there seems to be a...

  11. " Lies, Damn lies and statistics"

    HGJ78 replied to keeptryin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh man! That guy sounds like my stats teacher from round one about 6 years ago. I did all right in the class but only because we had a TA come to the rescue of the WHOLE CLASS one day after the...

  12. Anyone take Microbiology and A&P 2 same semester?

    HGJ78 replied to megn2boys's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't see how it would be in the best interest of the school to only have 2 out of 35 grad/pass. I have been under the impression that schools can lose their accredidation (couldn't spell that to...

  13. Anyone take Microbiology and A&P 2 same semester?

    HGJ78 replied to megn2boys's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    jdarcy, I agree, the CCCS is a bit on the hinky side. I feel like I rarely ever get any communication and when I do there is only one adviser at my school that I get clear answers from. I think I...

  14. Anyone take Microbiology and A&P 2 same semester?

    HGJ78 replied to megn2boys's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When mu hubby and I first got married we were in HI...what I wouldn't give for some sand and sun today! I'm

  15. Anyone take Microbiology and A&P 2 same semester?

    HGJ78 replied to megn2boys's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You got to sleep 7 hours in a row? I'm so jealous! The previously mentioned toddler makes sleep a commodity for me these days. lol I agree with you and previous posters that have stated that...

  16. Anyone take Microbiology and A&P 2 same semester?

    HGJ78 replied to megn2boys's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The only reason that I would have taken A&P 1 and Micro together is because I took an Intro to A&P when I got my first degree 3 years ago (communications) and it made A&P 1 a little easier...

  17. APII online

    HGJ78 replied to seasoned hopeful's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At my school A&Ps and Micro were only offered online and had a built in lab at home ( which I detested!!). I missed the lab interaction with my peers and I felt that it was a lot harder to take...

  18. Anyone take Microbiology and A&P 2 same semester?

    HGJ78 replied to megn2boys's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    MikeInCO where are you taking classes? Some schools require that you take A&P 1 as a pre-req to A&P 2. I did A&P2 and micro together and it is doable but tough. If I had it to do over...

  19. 4.0 GPA people, HOW can you do this?!!!

    HGJ78 replied to nursic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Man am i a sap!! That made a lil' misty. I have a 17 month old and I am maintianing my 4.0 but it is HARD and anyone who would tell you different is wrong. I have really struggled with balance...

  20. Anyone take Microbiology and A&P 2 same semester?

    HGJ78 replied to megn2boys's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    IMO, Micro is the hardest class I've EVER taken!! Even Chem didn't leave me feeling like as much of a moron as micro. I had a great instructor that was very willing to help and I managed an A but I...

  21. AP2 online

    HGJ78 replied to seasoned hopeful's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took A&P 2 online after taking Intro to A&P and A&P 1 in a traditional setting. The class that I took had a lab that you worked from home (nothing like getting a fetal pig in the...

  22. Pre-Nursing "Support" Group

    HGJ78 replied to FriendlyGhostRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ok, I feel like I am being tortured with the waiting!! I will not hear anything about whether I'm in for Fall 08 or waitlisted until 09 until late April or May...they won't even tell us when we can...

  23. Seeking advice from former A&P students

    HGJ78 replied to jmiarn1029's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Repetition, repetition, repetition!! :wink2: I found for me reviewing the "high points" of the chapters first and then going back and re-reading the parts that I needed a little clarification helped...

  24. what got you into nursing?

    HGJ78 replied to jelorde37's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  25. Waiting List, but no Competition?

    HGJ78 replied to Bridgett's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    CO is pretty similar to that, everyone gets in if they are willing to wait and have the grades and pass a background check. However that is only for the CC system, the major university programs are...
