Hi, I'm a Freshman nursing student and I'm working on my abbreviations and definitions for lab. You would think that they would give us things that we could find in our text book or our medical dictionary, but Noooo Anyway, I've been looking in ...

I've been offered two internship positions in the Dallas area. I think the pay is good for a new grad, but during my talk with HR, a sign on bonus was never mentioned. Is that something I should ask about or is it a given that if they didn't bring i...

I'm currently in nursing school in Richmond Va, and I will graduate in May. Here, there are no mandatory interships. We can apply to any area we want. If we are to get hired, we basically have a preceptor that we work with for 8-12 weeks. Me and my ...

Thanks so much! See, I learned something new! :) I thought the only position a new grad could apply for was an internship! There are plenty of positions that I saw that only required a degree/diploma. Looks like I'll be busy submitting resumes today...

Good question. I saw those posted at Baylor, right? I'm not a night person by any means. I really hope more positions become available. Seems that new grads are severely limited to what area they go into if all hospitals abide by the internship only...

area to be somewhat exact. I grew up in Texas, so that is where my heart is. However, I've lived in Richmond Va for the last 8 yrs. Once I graduate (in May) we will be moving back to the Dallas area. I'm really interested in any info good or bad abo...

Hi everyone. Thanks so much for your advice. I did some looking around at other areas closer to Denton, but to be honest I wasn't all that impressed with what I saw as far as real estate is concerned. I'm not 100% certain that I will end up working ...

I agree that it depends on what type of school your going to. My first semester we focused on personal care like bed baths, oral care, changing bed linen, etc. I'm currently in my second semester and our clinicals are focusing on assessing the pt as...

Okay, I'm in my second semester and I'm doing great as far as grade wise in my classes. I'm even doing okay in clinical except for today! Last week in clinical I had the pt from hell. NOTHING I did was right. He was cold, crabby and basically critic...

I definitely appreciate the advice and will take it all into account next week during clinical. :) I'm also going to stop asking if I can listen to bowel sounds, heart, etc. I totally do that alot and that gives the patient the option to say no and...

I'm considering taking a spanish for health professionals class at a local jr college. It's not required for my nursing school, but I was thinking that it could possibly be useful to know a second language. I'm also planning on moving back to Texas ...

The school I go to is the same way. Only difference is you need a 94 to get an A.

I'm currently going to Bon Secours and absolutely LOVE it! The instructors are AWESOME and they are very hands on and encourage each and every one of us to go to them with any problems, questions, or concerns we might have. I was afraid that we would...

I'm done with 2nd week of first semester and we've been covering history of nursing, laws, ethics, etc. Our first test is on Tues! :uhoh21:

LOL I was wondering the same thing myself earlier this week. Nope. You aren't alone.

Wow, I guess I'm the only one so far who's already started? Our first day was Jan 3rd.

I'm taking 9 hours (2 classes) next sememster. I've got most of my prereqs out of the way thank goodness. My hours will increase later on down the line.

Well that's great. I'm feeling much better about the TEAS test. :) Well, I know you must be really excited about starting up. Will you be in the part time, accelerated, or full time program? I'm hoping that I'll be able to do the accelerated program....

Wow really!! See, I got a letter a couple of months back saying that I meet the basic requirements for the program, etc and that I needed to take the pre-enterance exam (their words not mine :)) and then after that I would have to go in for the inter...

"And by the way they don't have a waiting list nor a test to take to get on a waiting list either. " That's actually no true anymore. They require you to take the TEAS pre-enterance exam in order to be accepted into the school. From what I understand...

both of my labors were wonderful once I got my lovely epidural! You don't get a gold plated baby if you choose not to use drugs. Just keep that in mind. I didn't scream, curse, and carry on like some crazed woman, but I would have probably wanted to ...

That they'd like to sell? Or at least could you tell me where to get one? I've been googling trying to find one and no luck such as yet. Even tried looking on half.com and ebay... nada. Thanks so much! :)

Thanks a bunch!!!!
