Dottie, RN

At clinicals, I would only wear my plain wedding band, & leave the ring with the diamonds at home. I saw some girls wearing the whole thing, but I was always afraid of scratching the patients. Once I start working, I'll be doing the same...wea...

Hi all! I need to vent and get some opinions. I've been driving myself crazy, because I've been waiting over two weeks for an answer. I received my license in April, and went for my first interview last month for a residency program at a hospital ...

Thank you all! This is my dream job & words can't express how excited I am to begin!

Just found out today that I'm in! Thank you, Jesus! :) I guess good things come to those who wait.

Congrats to you!! Isn't that a relief?

Thank you for the advice. I've checked online, but there is no update to my application at all. Also, I haven't received an email. Hoping to hear something this week, but also tempted to call & find out.

Hello everyone! Good luck to those of you who have interviews. I actually have an interview this week for an internship program in L&D, as I am a new grad. I'm not exactly sure what kind of questions I'm going to be asked by the directors and emp...

Congrats to you! I know that feeling when you walk out of that testing center not knowing if you passed or not, because I was in that same position three weeks ago, but was relieved to find out two days later that I passed! Congratulations to you ...

Hello everyone! This thread has been very helpful, since I'm a new grad, just got my license, and now looking for a job. I've already sent several applications to Christus, Baptist, and University, and from what I understand, new RNs have to go throu...

Hi all! I also posted this thread in the Nursing Student forum, but haven't gotten any replies, so I thought I would post here in hopes of getting back at least one reply! I applied for the fall semester at the Baptist School of Health Professions...

IMO, I think care plans are helpful, but they are lengthy, and took forever for me to do them...very time consuiming. That was the only thing I didn't like about doing them, especially if we had a test that week...and this past flex, we had one due ...

Hi all! Just want to say congrats to all the students graduating, and to all the ones who finished and survived their first semester of nursing school!! I haven't been on here since January...haven't had any time since the spring semester started, ...

It's doable, but not easy. If you're really dedicated and determined, you can do it. To be honest, if I didn't have to work, I wouldn't. I'm only in my first semester, but have been working full-time during the day and attend school in the evening...

First of all, I would like to say congrats to everyone who has completed nursing school, and to those who have just started. It actually all started last week at orientation, and when I got access to our online black board which has everything on the...

I too have evening classes. Lecture/lab MT from 4-7:50, and clinicals WR from 1-6:45 for the first half of the semester, and for the second half, lecture/lab MT 4-7:50, clinicals WR 3:45-9:45. I'm also very excited! Good luck to you!

Hi! First of all, I want to say congrats to everyone who is starting nursing school this coming semester, and good luck! Also, I need to vent. Back in November I found out I was accepted into nursing school for this coming spring semester (YAY!!) Eve...

Thanks, AngelsRN. I need to make sure I get good, comfortable shoes for clinicals, because I have issues with my feet as well. My heels hurt after being on my feet for long periods of time, and the ball of my left foot really hurts whenever pressure ...

I'm starting school this coming January, and have been a little undecided with what kind of shoes to get. They have to be white too. This thread was very helpful. Now it's a choice between Dansko and Nike Shox. Thanks guys!

I took the CPR class this past Saturday, which was the last thing I needed. After the class, I purchased scrubs. Almost ready for the adventure! Just one question about the clinical uniform: Is the required color white (top and bottom)? From the...

I applied this summer, and got the acceptance letter (via email) in the beginning of last month. Hope your friend gets in soon.

I applied to SAC's evening program for this coming Spring. An email went out last week from them saying we should be hearing from them regarding acceptance on or around November 16th! Is anyone else out there anxiously waiting??? I'll be anxious...

WOW...this is a very interesting thread, and I have learned a lot already! LOL Now I know what to expect on my first days of nursing school. I will be starting a two-year program in January at a community college. Thanks so much for all the valuab...

I just had to share this...finally one step closer to my dream...I just found out today that I've been accepted into SAC's RN program (for the Spring semester)!! I have so much to do now...background check, drug test, submit more paperwork and my im...

Right after high school, I worked as a rep for American Airlines, taking inbound phone calls for reservations and did that for a year. After that, I worked for a non-profit research organization as a secretary for 11 years...now I'm at another facil...

Thanks so much for all of the valueable info, SolaireSolstice! How is it going for you, since you're already a student at SAC? I purchased the nursing student handbook, but going back for the rest of the items next week, and check out Medix for sc...
