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...

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...

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!

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...

Hi! Would like to get feedback from Sinclair RN graduates or current NSG program students- finally starting the program in the Fall - graduated from another Allied Health program last year - what a rip-off - education was good, but did not (and never...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

I say stop school hopping and stick with where you are the most ahead - sounds like the CC - I'm starting a ADN in the Fall FINALLY and graduated from the same school with the AAS and surg tech certification/licensure - I was a 4.0 all the way throug...

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...

OK - this is going no where - good luck to you - last word of advice.......SPELL CHECK!

Blue - what a prophet you are! I was waiting for my favorite Einstein quote...the definition of insanity is repeating the same behavior over and over expecting different results...unfortunately combating organized religion and its extreme departure f...

Glad you seemed to have found a program that meets your needs - but here's another word of advice - JUST ADVICE from an experienced "old broad." You might want to consider toning down the defensive attitude - you ripped into BabyLady when she was gi...

Just starting myself (at a late age) I am scared too HOWEVER - I found in my "past life" (aviation-26 yrs) that it's a good thing to keep a HEALTHY fear of what you're doing - never to the point of not being able to function in a competent manner - j...

I used a lot of different things - what seemed to work best was not trying to cram the whole course into a review session - look at chapters/notes one system at a time over a long period....most of the time that would prompt me to remember something ...

"thanks for the concern... but please try & be more kind. this is a career choice i have been looking into for nearly 7 years. i have done research and spent alot of time looking into the programs and talking to people who teach the programs, who...

Well my brain certainly doesn't think I'm too old for anything.....right up until I can't get out of bed after a day of being the "coolest aunt" running around with my 20 something nieces and nephews all day and letting them convince me that I can ke...

"good news, with the standard lpn program there are no prereqs... at least with the ones i have researched here in ohio and in kentucky. the classes (maths & anatomys) are all intrigued into the applied nursing curriculum. and believe me - i woul...

Well sure - I think you have to keep your mind open and your eye on "your" ball - you have to be willing to do anything that will get you where you eventually want to be.....it's easy to be distracted or think you can circumnavigate the "system" but ...

Wow - are we sisters of a different mother?? I know - you're the YOUNGER one, but wow - sans the kids, we've had the same experience....I sat on my fat you know what for 25+ yrs waiting to retire from a yes, exciting to some career with an "old es...
