  2. St Charles Community College- reapply?

    Jillybean1988 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Has anyone heard that in order to get into SCC's RN program you must reapply each year? I took my dosage test last year and failed it (not that I was high enough on the list that I would have gotten...

  3. 2015 is it official? YES

    Jillybean1988 replied to HieuNgu1155's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Yes! If you have a D in your credentials whether it be an MD, PHD, PHARMD, DPT or DNAP, you put in the hours and deserve the title of DOCTOR! I think that the idea that some MD's have that "nurses...

  4. St Charles Community College- reapply?

    Jillybean1988 replied to Jillybean1988's topic in General Nursing

    The problem I have is the fact that misinformation from the staff has caused WAY too many problems and the fact that they do change the program once you have applied and they dont bother to make sure...

  5. St Charles Community College- reapply?

    Jillybean1988 replied to Jillybean1988's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I have heard terrible things. I agree that they protect their pass rate. Another thing I look at when I choose a school is their graduation rate. Because if 60% is all they have left of their...

  6. St Charles Community College- reapply?

    Jillybean1988 replied to Jillybean1988's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, I thought my reply answered your question! Ha. No, I have not considered STLCC. Only because I have all of my prereqs done, even the ones for my bachelors degree. I plan to get a Masters in the...

  7. St Charles Community College- reapply?

    Jillybean1988 replied to Jillybean1988's topic in General Nursing

    SCCC is definately NOT a lottery! Lol. You get a number on the wait list and according to that number they assign you a dosage calculation sign up time. The higher on the list you are, the earlier...

  8. I want to be a CRNA but I have questions!

    Jillybean1988 posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Hello all, I am a nursing student about to graduate with my RN. I plan to do an accelerated RN-BSN option specifically for the purpose of having one year of ICU experience (and I have some CNA...

  9. Am I cut out for this?

    Jillybean1988 replied to CandyGyrl's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I also am an extreme forthinker like you. :thnkg:I don't have a family at home, but I do think I can loan you some perspective. Especially in the money field. It will be very hard to support children...

  10. How did you choose your school?

    Jillybean1988 replied to missnurse01's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    The benefits of a front loaded program compared to an intergrated program basically boils down to a few things. A front loaded program gives you a year off from nursing rotation/clinicals. 1. This...

  11. I want to be a CRNA but I have questions!

    Jillybean1988 replied to Jillybean1988's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I know they were RN's. Lol. Although some go through straight to school with only the experience they need for grad school and some people are RN's for years before they go back to school. That is...

  12. Thanks to getting my RN license I may be jobless and homeless

    Jillybean1988 replied to expo4u's topic in General Nursing

    I am lucky enough to already do those things! Haha. I was raised that way. Hard work, helping out and always being pleasant have gotten me pretty far already. I also was raised that theres always...

  13. Thanks to getting my RN license I may be jobless and homeless

    Jillybean1988 replied to expo4u's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with WDW. You seem to be venting about your life instead of actually giving helpful advice to the poster. I am sorry you have had trouble with finding a position that suits you, but when you...

  14. 2015 is it official? YES

    Jillybean1988 replied to HieuNgu1155's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    This may seem like a crazy question, but does that mean if say I graduate in 2015, that I will need my DNAP down the road? A lot of programs and hospitals require ongoing education. Does this mean we...

  15. Hospitals offering tuition for CRNA School

    Jillybean1988 replied to thyme39's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hi, I don't mean to thread snatch, but I am hoping to be a CRNA someday (probably 2 years) down the road. I am starting to look into how to pay for it. My school (the only one in MO) is about 40k...

  16. Thanks to getting my RN license I may be jobless and homeless

    Jillybean1988 replied to expo4u's topic in General Nursing

    This is alarming to me! I am in school to be an RN. How do they get nurses if they do not hire graduates?! That doesn't make a lick of sense. I can't see how they could expect you to have any...

  17. dosage calculation course, credit course

    Jillybean1988 replied to carlarenee02's topic in General Nursing

    SCCC's class is for credit. At least if you attend SCCC. It is a 1 cr/hr class and it is $80 in district. The book is another $80 or so I think. It counts as credit for those of use who go there, but...

  18. The Financially and time sensible approach

    Jillybean1988 replied to Angela.Tris24's topic in General Nursing

    I had this very same dilemma. I personally am in the same seat, I am on waiting lists for Barnes and accepted at SCCC. It will not take you 3 years to get your ASN. All the programs I have seen for...

  19. Dosage Calculation Help!

    Jillybean1988 posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I've been doing some online practice tests and this all seems so easy it has me worried! Ive studied IV drop rate, reconstitution, tablet and fluid calculation, and metric conversion. This all seems...

  20. St. Charles Community College Nursing Student

    Jillybean1988 replied to ScccNursingStudent's topic in General Nursing

    Thank goodness! I was so worried. I did make an appointment with a counselor though you know how hard it is to get in and see her! I knew the sign ups for D.C went in order of your place in line, but...

  21. St. Charles Community College Nursing Student

    Jillybean1988 replied to ScccNursingStudent's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately, I can't afford a BSN program. The only ones in our area are around 20 thousand for that extra year, which to me is unjustafiable. I also don't need/want a BSN. I applied today to other...

  22. Salary negotiation

    Jillybean1988 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I hear that starting pay for new grads in missouri is around 18.25 (with varying differentials and sign on bonuses) without experience. I know if you tech before you graduate they toss another quarter...

  23. St. Charles Community College Nursing Student

    Jillybean1988 replied to ScccNursingStudent's topic in General Nursing

    I applied in the summer of 08. I am really hoping to be accepted for fall of 09. I was wondering how long all of you waited. I dont have anything to do, and after this semester Im done with all my...

  24. An Associates Degree Isn't A Real Nursing Degree...Vent!!

    Jillybean1988 replied to Newbie Nurse SMP's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    As a nursing student who did a whole lot of studying before deciding on which degree to pursue, I must first say that I am proud of you, and can't wait to be where you are now! I agree that while many...

  25. SO STRESSED!!!!!!!!!

    Jillybean1988 replied to kensnursegirl's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Any new job is going to be hard on you, especially when peoples' well being depends on you. I would talk to your DON. Tell them you appreciate the other nurses confidence in you, but that you feel...
