   Loadbetty replied to AsianNurse27's topic in New Nurse

   You're my hero Haycyn....I was given the "choice" (resign or be fired) 3 days before the probationary period was up....and what did I miss in nursing school? I've been reading post after post and it's always the same...."not working out" "resign or...

2. New Grad (sort-of) Quit or be fired, for NOT "fitting-in"!

   Loadbetty replied to I♥Dexter's topic in New Nurse

   Dexter....it sounds like we work at the same place - I don't think we really do, but what happened to you - down to the words used "not working out" is the same thing that just happened to me. I never reported anyone for leaving me with tons of late...

   Loadbetty replied to mrsrosstobe's topic in New Nurse

   God we must work at the same place! I have had the same experiences....all I can do is sink deeper into depression and cry....not at work - but at home - I'm totally lost and don't know where to turn!

4. Sinclair RN Graduates - Advice PLEASE!

   Loadbetty replied to Loadbetty's topic in Ohio

   Sorry to hear that - I don't have any experiences (yet) with the Chair - who is a new one I think - I know they didn't have a Chair for the NSG dept for the last year or so - not sure....just the people that "decide" if you're on the list in the firs...

5. Sinclair RN Graduates - Advice PLEASE!

   Loadbetty replied to Loadbetty's topic in Ohio

   Wellllllllllll, that's a subjective thing - when I started in 2004, I dual majored - surgical tech and nursing - supposedly the nursing clock started ticking then - but it didn't and doesn't. I finished the surg tech and took NSG prereq's filling in...

   Loadbetty replied to wonderwomanchels's topic in New Nurse

   Don't laugh, but I'm just starting RN school this fall......I graduated in 2007 as a certified surgical tech...had more "bling" for academic achievement on at graduation than Mr. T...it felt like I had a yoke on!.....didn't matter - the 2 or 3 jobs t...

7. Sinclair RN Graduates - Advice PLEASE!

   Loadbetty replied to Loadbetty's topic in Ohio

   Thanks SO MUCH! Being in the program, you know how important it is for graduates/current students to "steer" you toward the good prof's/classes, etc. I think I'll be OK with Becker - I only have a hard time with unnecesssary "attitude" when it is a...

8. Sinclair RN Graduates - Advice PLEASE!

   Loadbetty replied to Loadbetty's topic in Ohio

   Thanks!! The care plans sound like case cards - basically we had to write up this horrendous 4 page "report" of EVERY surgery we did - I mean everything, like down to what kind and how much suture! Wow - not looking forward to stuff like that again...

9. Sinclair RN Graduates - Advice PLEASE!

   Loadbetty replied to Loadbetty's topic in Ohio

   I'm with you on the motivation - I did it too - looking back at the SUT program - don't know how I worked 10-12 hrs a night and immediately went and stood for 8 hrs in surgery for 2.5 yrs....but as you say, motivation is the key....too bad I poured a...

10. Sinclair RN Graduates - Advice PLEASE!

    Loadbetty replied to Loadbetty's topic in Ohio

    Wow! You are a motivated individual!!! And A LOT smarter than me - statistics ON-LINE?!?!?!? Thanks for the insight - as I said - I'm the "nerd" that likes the classroom - I've taken quite a few on-line, mostly because I couldn't make full time wo...

11. Sinclair RN Graduates - Advice PLEASE!

    Loadbetty replied to Loadbetty's topic in Ohio

    Thanks again - I'm sure you know that this type of info is VERY helpful! I really appreciate the time you are taking to advise me.... I'm a "non-traditional" i.e. "older" student, so I'm the "nerd" that always shows up to class ontime and as prepare...

    Loadbetty replied to Loadbetty's topic in Ohio

    Thank you SO MUCH!! I was beginning to think there weren't any SCC on this site!! I am VERY relieved to hear their aren't any shenanigans in the program! As I said, I feel I received a GREAT education in the SUT program, trouble is there weren't (and...

14. How is it possible working AND going to nursing school?

    Loadbetty replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Nursing

    Totally agree with everyone's comments - I am FINALLY starting the ADN program in the Fall - however - it took 2.5 yrs to get through the surgical tech program (with associates degree - not from a trade/tech school) and I worked full time through mos...
