    lilredrn replied to cummings 41's topic in General Students

  2. Would you be mad if a fellow nursing student did this?

    lilredrn replied to StangGang92's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    During pre-reqs for nursing school, I saw all kinds of majors. In my A&P class, I had a pre-dental student, pre-dental hygiene students, and even a pre-radiology student in with all the nursing...

  4. Legacy Health RN Residency 2011

    lilredrn replied to ttt-n's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I did my practicum at their Vancouver site less than a year ago. It is a beautiful facility and the staff is amazing. I have heard many times you have to have your license in hand in order to be...

    lilredrn replied to ttt-n's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Hi Vdrapeau! In the other Legacy thread, did you see the post about applicants not being considered if they didn't have their OR license in hand? It was pretty soon after we graduated last time...

  6. Legacy Health RN Residency 2011

    lilredrn replied to ttt-n's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Oregon endorsement is simply your RN license in a subsequent state after you already have your license in your home state I assumed that because you guys were from out of state & you had to do...

  7. Legacy Health RN Residency 2011

    lilredrn replied to ttt-n's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Hi guys! Yes, I did have an in-person interview. I was told 40-60 (for all specialties) but they said that they didn't know for sure. Do you guys have your Oregon endorsement yet? It took me 8...

    lilredrn replied to Goldskinned_Nurse's topic in LPN to RN

    I was rejected the first time I applied, but still got in at the last minute when enough people backed out/ got accepted elsewhere. I hope you get in! Good

    Thank you so much for the info hoopschick! That is fantastic info. I'm applying for this spring and was disappointed to hear that they are not hiring critical care residents right now. This is...

  11. Tell me I'm not alone!!

    lilredrn replied to MomWifeNursePractioner's topic in General Students

    I made it. I just graduated this December. My kids are 3, 6, 8, and 11. My family is still intact. I felt like a horrible mom all through nursing school. Nursing school will consume your life if...

  12. New Student Nurse: Which Shoes to Purchase?

    lilredrn replied to hautemilque's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I have Crocs, Danskos and Landau clogs. The crocs protect my feet quite well. Mine are the professional ones without the holes on the top. However, I vote for Danskos too. They're spendy but well...

  13. How do you handle the smells?

    lilredrn replied to Aly529's topic in General Nursing

    OMG I am rolling!!!!You are hilarious! I just grab a bottle of the odor neutralizer and say "would you like some air freshener?" Honestly, nobody hangs out in the bathroom after you drop a deuce....

  14. Legacy Health Residency, Portland, OR

    lilredrn replied to islandteam2003's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Nice to hear from you PACNW! Wow, Utah! Congrats on getting a job! I think getting your foot in the door at the facility in any position is a good idea. Once they see your work ethic and know you,...

  15. Clark College

    lilredrn replied to gypsywillow's topic in Washington Nursing

    Have you looked into the requirements for getting into the CRNA program? I do know they require some time in the ICU (2 years I believe). I just graduated from Clark this December. I did my senior...

  16. Are YOU terrified to be a patient (and your loved ones, too!)

    lilredrn replied to nervousnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I can't say the staffing was out of control. I had rotations at this hospital on this floor. The staffing was 4:1. We had a ton of resource team nurses... perhaps they were overwhelmed because they...

  17. Are YOU terrified to be a patient (and your loved ones, too!)

    lilredrn replied to nervousnurse's topic in General Nursing

    NONE of my family will be in the hospital without me there!!!!! They thought I was a nutcase when I was complaining about the nurse with acrylic fingernails with tons of jewelry everywhere and...

  18. relocating to Vancouver area

    lilredrn replied to gottahavefaith1964's topic in Washington Nursing

    New grad from Vancouver, WA here. My cohort graduated 12/08. I've had rejection after rejection. Most job postings require 1+ yrs experience. Do I apply anyways? Heck yes. I get an immediate...

  19. Is there really a nursing shortage? I am starting to think not.

    lilredrn replied to sc0628's topic in First Year After Licensure

    But in theory, wouldn't the preceptor be providing care for that set of patients regardless of the new graduate's presence? It seems like a cost that would be there

  20. Legacy Health Residency, Portland, OR

    lilredrn replied to islandteam2003's topic in First Year After Licensure

    The only thing that I can think of that might be keeping them from emailing is acceptance from the chosen applicants. I got into nursing school earlier than any of my pre-req classmates because...

  23. Can someone explain how a study group is at all effective?

    lilredrn replied to bhanson's topic in General Students

    In the first quarter of nursing school, I tried a study group of 5-6 people. We split up the objectives & met to discuss them. It was a huge time waster. There was so much arguing and honestly,...
