pooptacular

I am so impatient and can't believe that not everything can be done online! So, we pay the GA BON $60 to endorse us, we pay NurSys $30 to send verification of our license, and then pay Cogent $50? Awesome. I really wouldn't care, if I could do it a...

Upon starting my unit, we were offered either straight night shifts (12 hour shifts) or rotating months (again, 12 hours). I chose rotational in an attempt to get on to days more quickly. I do 2 months of nights, and then 2 months of days and so on....

1. When did you graduate? December 2009 2. Do you have a BSN or ADN? ADN (with Honors) 3. Are you still looking for work? No, thank god. 4. If not, how long did it take you to find a job? 7 frickin' months 5. If you don't mind my asking, those who ar...

So, I started a grad. nurse program in July and I have my first 12 hour shift with my preceptor tomorrow. I precepted in IMC back in December for my final semester of nursing school for 60 hours already. We have had 2 8 hour days on our unit alread...

I would just like to add a friendly bump to this post. I'm interested as well.

i when one starts living in my house, i name him. always a guy's name too, like 'stan'.

my take- i think rnwotwob1 may have been turned down for a job b/c he only had an ADN and perhaps another applicant with either A. more experience, B. a BSN, or C. both may have gotten the job. let's keep in mind that few places are hiring nurses in...

actually, florida schools now rank 10th nationally! this is such great news! http://www.tampabay.com/news/education/article960721.ece

i'm only a student now, but i'll weigh in. i lived in upstate ny for 11 years and i've been in eastern central florida for 18. florida is home. ny is great to visit, but man, florida is home. you don't like it? *shrug* leave. disclaimer: this might ...

omg, at 5:30 i try to throw it back with a headband and then a pony, or use a claw cliip for a 1/2 french twist. sometimes i'll kinda do two 1/2 french twists- imagine pigtails placed towards the back of your head (rather than by your ears) then twis...

my instructors had no problem writing out three letters of recommendation for me. this is nursing school, not fashion merchandising.

dress comfortably. i live in florida and work nights. getting up at 5:30 am for class was pure torture. i actually did wear my pajama pants one day. i usually threw on a pair of jeans, a t-shirt, comfy undies (you will be sitting for many hours) and ...

sounds like you need a new man and some new friends! people who should love you should encourage you! you'll find out how "competitive" it is when you go speak with an advisor. that is for *you* to worry about. p.s. an associate's degree in business ...

i will be graduating from dbcc- oops, excuse me, daytona state this fall. great schoo, amazing instructors, imo. just get ready for the roller coaster ride!!!

HA! if you can handle this descriptive thread, you'll be fine. eventually. i graduate in december, and i was gung-ho about the o.r. even orthopedic o.r.! guess who had to be escorted out when a central line was being placed in our o.r. patient! but, ...

hee hee. i like you, dolcevita! band together, bitter nursing students! *cat fight sounds* ugh, i think there is only one student who i would have loved to chop her in the throat- just once. luckily, that was only our 6 week peds class!

nope!

I graduate in December, but I am plagued by anxiety (dr.- 0.25mg alprazolam please!!!). I live in cental Florida and hiring freezes are in full swing- even with a new hospital being built and another one adding on. Go figure. My biggest problem is I ...

I will be the first student to be disappointed that in only got a 90 when a 94 is needed for an "a"! Firstly, I am highly competitive, but only with myself. I never boast to classmates, until someone asks. I work for these grades and I'm d@mn proud! ...

ahhh, i love community college! i work as a bartender, but still need help financially. i qualify for federal financial aid (subsidized stafford loans), but i'm really hoping for a pell grant this year. also, i always apply for donor scholarships th...

Not to quibble, but plenty of large chain retailers sell "long and lean" tanks. Also many are following the trend of draping, loose shirts. Belly-baring shirts are actually somewhat passé, IMO. Check yer local Old Navy or Target. I'm fun-sized so I...

heh heh. maybe they should all have been wearing "mom jeans". clicky and appreciate:

wow. there's this great "club" in the area, i think you'll fit right in. just grab your whitest bedsheets (cross burning is optional). you say there is a distinct lack of culture, and then you put down the hispanic AND african-american culture (in on...

thank you, scraig, for some soothing words. i've been hearing about a frightening amount of hiring freezes, but i hope the situation will be somewhat alleviated by december. i also just checked job listings for bert fish, and they have several rn pos...

i think the argument that students cheat on tests might have led to our economical recession is a somewhat ad hoc fallacy. i have yet to witness cheating in my classes. but, i'm also completely consumed while taking a test. i don't look up, and my fa...
