  1. How do I stand out above the crowd?

    JettaDP posted a topic in MICU, SICU

    I am a nursing student and I am hoping to graduate and then go directly into an ICU. Being a new grad, I know it may be more difficult to get into the ICU directly out of school but I know it has...

  2. Help me from getting discouraged

    JettaDP replied to kaya767's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't think of it as discouraging information. Think of it as a harsh truth. Competitive nursing schools are hard to get in to. You have to work your butt off on pre-req's and you simply need to be...

  3. Rio Salado Online Program

    JettaDP replied to JettaDP's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Another reason they the Rio Salado students are on a wait list is because the Maricopa county schools all are mixed together. You don't apply to each school individually. You complete the pre-req's...

  4. How long did it take to get your NCLEX results?

    JettaDP posted a topic in Colorado Nursing

    I've been reading that how quickly you get your NCLEX results back depends on the state where you took the test. How long did you have to wait to get your results back in Colorado?

  5. So what do I do LPN/RN

    JettaDP replied to jennshort568's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree. I've heard of many people who have gone through MA school and found it very difficult to find a job. I think you may find it easier to just do the CNA because LPN programs can be...

    JettaDP replied to Luv2helpppl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  7. Jobs during Nursing school/ How do you afford this??

    JettaDP replied to DaughteroftheKing's topic in General Students

    Check into state assistance. You can get cash and food assistance. Maybe it could at least help you cut down on you work hours without losing as much money. And yes, technically state assistance is...

  8. Does anybody here have OCD?

    JettaDP replied to brittney140's topic in General Students

    Do you ever watch Scrubs? There is a couple of epidoses where Michael J. Fox plays a doctor who has severe OCD. He was able to turn his disorder into a major advantage. For one, he was obsessive...

  9. How do I stand out above the crowd?

    JettaDP replied to JettaDP's topic in MICU, SICU

    Thanks for the advice everyone! My program hasn't started yet so I don't know how preceptorships work at my school or if we even have them. It seems that most people have said their school has them...

  12. Help: Tattoo Ideas!!

    JettaDP replied to SRNA11's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Is that really fair? What does job title have to do with anything? I'm not a CRNA. I'm not even a nurse yet. I don't start NS until this fall. Does that mean I am/will be unprofessional or lack...

    JettaDP replied to ThatPoshGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At my community college we had an optional human dissection lab. We had to travel to Salt Lake City and go to the BYU campus. It was awesome! It was such a valuable learning experience. I was a...

  14. I am pathetic.

    JettaDP replied to SaraO'Hara's topic in General Nursing

    What a great idea. That sounds like so much fun. My daughter has stuffed bear that has a hole in it and has lost some of its stuffing. I know she would love to take it to a teddy bear

  15. Is this reasonable or am I being a newbie?

    JettaDP replied to dander625's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    At the LTC center in my town, the CNA's do all vital signs. They can do blood glucose tests as long as they have been certified as a phelbotomist. And of course they get paid more because of the two...

    JettaDP replied to us4halls's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    JettaDP posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    JettaDP replied to Nightingale11's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Send me a PM when you find out what your topics are going to be about. I'll help you figure out where to start. As far as studying, a good timeline diagram will help you. It's confusing if you...

  21. I'm confuded about the RN program???

    JettaDP replied to FutureNS's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  22. finish prerequisites completely before applyingor not?

    JettaDP replied to macizu's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At my school you couldn't apply if you even had 1 pre-req not complete. And if you applied anyways, they wouldn't even consider it. They would tell you to finish the 1 pre-req and then apply the...

  23. Please tell me I am not crazy for turning this down

    JettaDP replied to mommy2three2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think I would've done the same thing. Especially if people were being rude to me. And especially if someone brought me to tears! That wouldn't be the school for me. And if they were that rude to...
