Is there anything I should do, or decisions I should make as a nursing student, that will help me find an ICU job as a new grad? There is a possibility that I may pursue being a CRNA down the road, but even if I don't, I think I would learn a lot and...

I'm just curious how often you're in class and how often you're in clinicals and at what time of day and what days of the week?

Hi there, I'm a very indecisive second-degree-seeking pre-nursing student. I have awhile to figure things out, but one of the avenues I'm exploring is OB. I really decided to go back to school and become a nurse because of the birth of my son. I'd l...

You're sense of entitlement is astounding.

Hey Meriposa--I treid to PM you but your box is full! --Here is my question: "Honestly, I sometimes wonder if I wouldn't be better off in a float pool somewhere. There is a community hospital in the suburbs, 10 minutes from my house- they pay 35/hr f...

I don't know. I'm reading the typical day thread, and I know its only temporary, but 2 years is a long time to live that way when your babies are little. I'd be basically going from a full time mom, to a part time student when my son gets to preschoo...

I'm wondering about all of the different ways nurses can work a 40 hour week or a 20 hour week if you are part time. For instance, do you do a 12 hour shift each weekend with 2 8 hour shifts during the week, etc.? Does it vary week to week? Do you ge...

I'm pretty excited as this will be my first course on my path to becoming a nurse. I'm taking it online at AACC (my community college), but there is a lab on Thursday nights. Anyone else taking it this spring? I ordered my texts online ( A LOT cheap...

Do you mean like auditing a lecture?

bump! There's got to be more of us!

You're right. Its a personal decision. Fortunately, I am in a position where I can put it off for a couple of years. I can't get that time back with my son while he's little, and I can afford not to work.

Above and beyond tuition and fees, if you are not working?

Hi Shana! We're in a similar situation, and I've been doing a lot of research. I have a degree in another field and I'm a stay-at-home mom to a six month old little boy. I'm not assuming you know as little as I did when I first made the decision to p...

My school no longer requires them but says to submit them if you feel they are good and you want to show them off.

A teaching hospital in my state offers a 12 month fellowship. Just wondering if you typically get paid or is it like an internship where you don't get paid?

I feel silly about asking, because it really is far down the line for me, but I wrote a post (it hasn't been posted yet for some reason?) last night asking about time commitment and CRNA school with young children in the mix. If I decide to pursue t...

Oh, crap. I just read here: http://nursing.umaryland.edu/programs/ms/non-degree.htm that you can only transfer in 6 graduate credits. Snap! Hmm. I wonder if they let you attend part time.

Nursing jobs that is.

What is a CRRN? Clearly, I fascinate you if you have to go look up my old posts.

LOL, I can't help you. You either A) didn't read the subsequent posts or B) have a learning disability. What part of, I don't care what your favorite unit is, don't you understand? If you go back, and read the posts, you will see that I am asking, ho...

LPN, thanks, I'm not really concerned with what you like or don't like. Maybe you should reread the question?

I want different answers. It is specific to the environment. Kind of like a survey, get it? I didn't ask what was more popular in your own head, but what was more popular as in easy to staff, more applicants, etc. Its called reading comprehension. Yo...

Umm maybe if I rephrase the question? Where YOU work, what are the easiest and the most difficult nursing jobs to staff? Why do you think that is?

I guess I want to know which are the hardest/easiest to staff. I won't let it guide my decision. :)

No, I should have. Maybe I could ask what the cutoff used to be? Its UMB, if that helps. I'll probably take them again because they are already 6 years old (I'm 28). My verbal was 530, quantitative 530, and analytical 680. Are you just calculating yo...
