Hello!!! I am desperately in need of some nurses to help me out with an assignment I have to complete for my BSN program. I was tasked with interviewing a new nurse who has only been a nurse for 2 YEARS OR LESS. The focus is on the socialization experience of the new nurse. If you could please take the time and answer the nine questions I have listed below, this would greatly assist me with completing the assignment. Your responses can be as brief or detailed as you like, but a couple sentences should do. Thank you all SO much in advance for any help you could provide!!!!! 1. What is your first name? 2. How long have you worked as a nurse? 3. What specialty/unit do you work in? Have you worked in? 4. What were your first few weeks/months of orientation into the nursing field like? 5. How long did it take you to feel like a confident/competent” nurse? 6.What was your first day after orientation like being on your own” (ex: no longer with a preceptor)? 7. Did your expectations of what your first nursing job would be like match the reality of it? How so? 8. How would you describe the real world of nursing to be different from and/or similar to the experience of nursing school? 9. Where would you consider yourself to be in your nursing career now? Choose one: Novice, Advanced beginner, Competent practitioner, Proficient practitioner, Expert practitioner

hey tiff.. the test was straightforward, in my opinion. You should really focus on the a&p when your studying for the test, and try to refresh your math skills, as well. The math is pretty basic you won't need a calculator for it. And the anatomy portion is pretty basic as well. If you paid attention in a&p class you should do fine. The evolve book did not help me much, only my prior knowledge in the subject. But it may help you, I don't know. Hope this helped :) And good luck saturday!

hi guys, week 2 is finally over! im so nervous about return demo on tuesday, i cant wait to get it over with .. will def be studying ALL weekend, as im sure you all will too. good luck!!!

did anyone else who had C-S J for Clinical I notice that the Professor has been changed to LH-- the same professor for MTB 1370???

yes i got that email too. but how did we have a 2 hour break?.... it looks like the same amount of hours to me, they just combined the two times

thank you for finding this for me!... sunray is always so helpful!!

did anyone buy their books yet? Im trying to figure out which ones exactly we will need for first semester so i can just buy those.. i dont want to buy the whole list of books just yet

i think they notarize at the bank and in admissions... i got mine notarized by someone i know personally

okay thanks for the info ALB! i wont wear mine until told to do so as well

Yea you should just call and ask, i was wondering the same thing -- dont wanna be the only one wearing the uniform that day. i wish they would be more specific with what they want... let us know what you find out if you call

Yeah, u mean on the 24th when we have the orientation? We have to wear it on that day, and to every lab/clinical day i believe. Im just not sure if we have to wear the uniform on the 23rd when we have our first lecture.. are you going to where yours?

okay thanks!

No problem! how much did the uniform cost?
