  1. BCTC Nursing Fall 2011

    ky_grl82 replied to kdonovan's topic in General Nursing

    Yes there were a few alternates that got in last year. I don't know the exact number but #8 seems like you have a fair chance. Many people have told me there were 140 rolling admission students who...

    ky_grl82 replied to ky_grl82's topic in General Nursing

    YAY Sophie! Congrads! I did some volunteer work that involved working in the NICU for several years. While it is crazy hard (for me anyways), it has a very special vibe. Good

  3. employer wanted to try me out!

    ky_grl82 replied to rn4life2009's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah things seem a little fishy. If references were soooo important why did she bring you in at all? Just doesn't seem right. I would be shocked if you actually got a check. But maybe its just me...

    This is a "fixing to be a 2nd year" BCTC (Cooper) student... GET YOUR PHARMACOLOGY DONE OVER THE SUMMER!!! Tests are all online (aka OPEN BOOK!). While this is a hugely important class it is nearly...

    ky_grl82 replied to ky_grl82's topic in General Nursing

    Glad it went well! I had my UK interview a few weeks ago and the CBH interview last week as well. I hate interviewing but I think it went OK. I don't know if you asked how many applications they had...

  7. What would you do if your family member were doing drugs?

    ky_grl82 replied to BabyCatchr's topic in General Nursing

    I have actually BEEN in this situation. My ex of 7 years was a closet oxycontin drug addict. Let me say, he hid it very well. I left the very second I found out (he was buying and using around my son...

  8. A disgruntled ex calling the bon on me.

    ky_grl82 replied to smartnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    well, fight fire with fire. if there is someone you can report him to, do the same to him for report false or malicious charges against you. don't do it until you get contacted by the bon though. he...

    ky_grl82 replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, that guy must have been in SOOOO much pain before. I told myself that if I can get through that video without being grossed out I can be a periop nurse one day. Didn't gross me out, just felt bad...

  11. iPod use in LTC facility

    ky_grl82 replied to DDdove's topic in General Nursing

    Our nursing program required us to have an ipod touch or iphone and buy a very expensive app ($180 for the app alone). The app has to be used to complete med sheets at our clinical site. The LTC staff...

  12. SNAP program at University of Kentucky Hosp. or SPICEE at Central Baptist

    ky_grl82 replied to ky_grl82's topic in General Nursing

    What I understood is that you have 1 "preceptor" and you work with his/her schedule, no matter what. I am pretty sure most RNs have to rotate shifts on weekends so I would say yes you should plan to...

  13. The sterile glove roll... need tips!

    ky_grl82 posted a topic in General Students

    I am checking off on foley catheterization next week and I am pretty comfortable with all of it except the sterile gloving. I put the first glove on my right hand (dominant) and that goes fine. When I...

  14. Looking professional all day long . . .

    ky_grl82 replied to Sugar-Phosphate's topic in General Nursing

    I *thought* I had mid wavy hair too. I straightened it all my life, until one day I thought.... hmm, I wonder if it will curl on its own. I washed and conditioned it and then after the shower I didn't...

  15. SNAP program at University of Kentucky Hosp. or SPICEE at Central Baptist

    ky_grl82 replied to ky_grl82's topic in General Nursing

    @sophie- It sounded like you could give your top three preferences and they would try to match you as best they could.. no peds, and possibly no OB (I am not 100%) though. I really love OR-type stuff...

  17. I have a question about CNA schools.

    ky_grl82 replied to ILuvmylil1's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, that is very expensive for a community college program. Mine was $600 and FASFA paid for it. Does the clinical you are at include clinical time? We had 3 days of clinicals at the end and then did...

  18. SNAP program at University of Kentucky Hosp. or SPICEE at Central Baptist

    ky_grl82 replied to ky_grl82's topic in General Nursing

    At my last day of clinicals (at CBH) we had a meet and greet with a few of the big-wigs of nursing over CBH. It answered a lot of questions. Have you got all the "how to apply" info for SPICEE? If...

  22. Night/Hospital gowns with side slits ???

    ky_grl82 replied to Trekfan's topic in General Nursing

    You could always have someone make a few custom nightgowns for you. It won't be cheap but maybe advertise what you want done on craigslist and ask for quotes (I do this all the time). I would just...

  23. I Was Accepted!

    ky_grl82 replied to DoingGodsWork's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrads! The first thing I did was work on med math. If you don't know which book you will be using, this book is great. Its what we use in my school and it is very visual and breaks down the math...
