  1. Colorado New Grads- Do you have jobs?

    Work in Progress replied to Work in Progress's topic in Colorado Nursing

    copperkali- Was that at UCH? Congratulations, wherever it was. I haven't even gotten an interview yet, and I have applied for probably 50 jobs already, although I know that there are many people who...

  2. What do you carry...

    Work in Progress replied to ilove2dce's topic in General Nursing

    ID on a retractable thingy on the Vneck of my scrubs with a penlight and sharpie attached. The scrub tops we have don't have pockets (!?!?!?!?) so my pants pockets are shoved full: Carpuject,...

  3. July 2010 UCH New Graduate Residency Program

    Work in Progress replied to emz88's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Well, I didn't even get an offer of an interview, but one of my friends interviewed with the ICU panel. She put together a portfolio (I don't know if you had to do one for school, but we didn't) and...

  4. How long between graduation and NCLEX?

    Work in Progress posted a topic in Colorado Nursing

    Just wondering what the experience has been for people in CO. The last graduating class took the NCLEX anywhere from 4-12 weeks after graduation. That is a big variation when you are aggressively...

  5. Odds of being employed as a gay CNA?

    Work in Progress replied to camci's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    There are a lot of gay men working as CNAs, LPNs and RNs where I work and several in nursing school. I haven't seen any problems, but I live in a large urban area... I don't think that it is any...

  6. Is my school the only one that ends this late?

    Work in Progress posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am getting a little anxious because our graduation isn't until May 28th. All of the other BSN programs in the area have already had graduation. When I think about the wait for the ATT, then the...

  7. Is my school the only one that ends this late?

    Work in Progress replied to Work in Progress's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yeah, there is only one new grad program in the area... they start July 16th! Not that I got even an interview, though. Only people that work there as CNAs have to worry about that (as they are the...

  8. All you wonderful preceptors and instructors out there...

    Work in Progress posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am graduating with my BSN in 10 days. I have had many, many nurses as preceptors in my clinical experiences. I know we see so many complaints about preceptors/instructors on this site, and I...

  9. pre-delivery "grooming" issue?

    Work in Progress replied to brillohead's topic in Ob/Gyn

    That is really odd. I can't imagine an OB, let alone a CNM telling someone they had to shave or wax- but I suppose it could happen. I think this is definitely a generational thing and yes, I think...

  10. What specialty do you want and not want to work in?

    Work in Progress replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

    No: General Med/Surg, Geriatric, Psych, LTC, Pulmonary, OR Maybe: ICU, Neuro, Oncology, Pediatrics, Public health, Mom/Baby Yes: ED, NICU, What I really want and have a passion for:

  11. Is my school the only one that ends this late?

    Work in Progress replied to Work in Progress's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Interestingly enough, the college of nursing actually gets done two weeks later than the rest of the college. Crazy... I suppose there is nothing I can do but play with the hand I was dealt. Still...

  12. Farewell, nursing school...

    Work in Progress posted a topic in General Students

    I have 20 hours of clinical, a simulation and one reflective journal before my journey in nursing school is over on Friday. So I wanted to say my farewells to *My leadership preceptor. Thank you...

  13. How did everyone do this semester?

    Work in Progress replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    3 As. Graduating with a

  14. What do patients say that irks you?

    Work in Progress replied to NurseforPreggers's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm just a student in my preceptorship right now (on L&D) but I have a couple, if you don't mind me sharing: - "Look that time her contraction got up to 65!!!!" With external monitoring and after...

  15. Where are all of the "experienced nurses hiding?"

    Work in Progress replied to SWS RN's topic in General Nursing

    I am a student (about to graduate) and before you scroll past me or get mad that I am posting on here, I want to say that I agree with you! I have to say the homework questions, the requests about how...

  16. So, who else is terrified of graduating and facing the real world?

    Work in Progress posted a topic in General Students

    After reading endless threads on AN about the job market, hearing that the Dec 09 grads in my area don't have jobs yet and not getting an interview for the only new grad program in town I am extremely...

  17. How far would you commute for a hosp job?

    Work in Progress replied to krstxn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Seriously, the way it is looking I would probably be willing to commute an insane number of hours a day if that meant I was actually going to get a new grad job. Probably up to 2 hours each

  18. Class of 2010!! let's hear you!

    Work in Progress replied to pinkynbd_99's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You lucky people! I still have 2 weeks of class and another week after that until graduation. Pinning/commencement is on May 28th. While I am excited to be done, I am quite terrified by the lack of...

  19. Colorado New Grads- Do you have jobs?

    Work in Progress replied to Work in Progress's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Wow, that is a prospect. But not one I am too excited about. It is gonna be d*** hard to pay back student loans making less money than I make now as a Nurse Intern. (I am guessing, but I made less...

  20. CU-Denver Nursing Program

    Work in Progress replied to Lindsey14's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I was able to find a job in a hospital. I think the fact that I was in nursing school helped a lot. I don't think I would have been able to deal with nursing home CNA work! I respect what they do,...

  21. will pending case of shoplifting will show in background check?

    Work in Progress replied to Racharina's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I am sorry! I have no advice for you (and it looks like you are getting good advice from your lawyer and some of the very helpful people at AN). I just wanted to say that this I am so sorry this is...

  22. CU-Denver Nursing Program

    Work in Progress replied to Lindsey14's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Not when I applied. I started working as a CNA during my first semester of school. I took my CNA class at FRCC, thinking that if I did not get in, I would work as a CNA for a while. Then I got in...

  23. Pregnant CNA

    Work in Progress replied to AW79's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I worked in a hospital as a CNA when I was pregnant. I found out the day after I was hired. When I started getting further along, they had me as a sitter for patients who needed continuous company...

  24. July 2010 UCH New Graduate Residency Program

    Work in Progress replied to emz88's topic in Colorado Nursing

    So, I wanted to update you on what I heard through the grape vine. The only units that have contacted for interviews are the adult critical care units. Internal medicine, neuro, ortho, cardio, NICU...

  25. Getting over the fear

    Work in Progress replied to Purple_Scrubs's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Go for it! It is nerve wracking, but they will prepare you in your program. Take it one step at a time- there is a long way to go before you are expected to know what you need to know and have large...
