    chiclet81 replied to JerseyDevilsAdvocate's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I have ADHD and ASD and i had a long history of academic failure under my belt when I decided to go to college and then to pursue nursing. I had luck making things as tactile and visual as possible. I...

  3. Psych interview coming up!

    chiclet81 replied to uRN4it's topic in Psychiatric

    I would talk about the grandmother with dementia and even the suicidal brother, as long as your examples show experience with psych issues and not co-dependence. I did mention family experiences in my...

  4. new grad... base pay/jobs?

    chiclet81 replied to Moecato's topic in General Nursing

    I was offered a few jobs this summer before I found the right one for me, and all of them in central NH seemed to pay around $21-22/hr for a new grad, based on full-time. Dartmouth Hitchcock pays...

  5. Dartmouth-Hitchcock NRP... any news???

    chiclet81 replied to k1p1ssk's topic in General Nursing

    The OR position was the one I initially phone-interviewed about, but then they thoughyt I;d be better in psych (I have a lot of crisis counselling experience). The OR would be exciting, I think. It...

  6. Psych interview coming up!

    chiclet81 replied to uRN4it's topic in Psychiatric

    I'm a new grad with an ADN, and I just scored a full-time psych nurse gig/residency program. For the interview, be prepared to talk about why you are interested in the specialty, as well as to...

  7. DHMC 2012 new grad programs

    chiclet81 replied to MissM.RN's topic in General Nursing

    After my phone interview, I got an email to schedule an in-person interview the next week. She had mentioned they were looking to fill the last few spots, but I accepted another position at a hospital...

  8. Dartmouth-Hitchcock NRP... any news???

    chiclet81 replied to k1p1ssk's topic in General Nursing

    They did finally contact me for an interview a couple weeks ago, but I decided on another position. They told me they had "most" of the slots filled at that

  9. DHMC 2012 new grad programs

    chiclet81 replied to MissM.RN's topic in General Nursing

    My phone interview was just last week. Nothing back yet, but it's only been a few days. I waited at least two months just to get the phone interview, too. Not a very speedy or clear hiring process, is...

  10. DHMC 2012 new grad programs

    chiclet81 replied to MissM.RN's topic in General Nursing

    Did you ever hear more

  11. Dartmouth-Hitchcock NRP... any news???

    chiclet81 replied to k1p1ssk's topic in General Nursing

    Now the site says this: DHMC is no longer accepting applications for our 2012 New Grad RN Residency Program. Please check our postings late fall/winter 2012 for 2013 NRP programs. I hope that means...

  12. Dartmouth-Hitchcock NRP... any news???

    chiclet81 replied to k1p1ssk's topic in General Nursing

    I have applied as well and have heard nothing. Even after sending a follow up email to confirm they have everything they need, no response at all. I did hear a rumor that another girl in my program...

  13. As good as, Better or Worse than you thought it would be...

    chiclet81 replied to Krazy4pedsRN's topic in General Nursing

    This thread scares me. I'm a single mother of two, and I worked my butt off for a year just to get accepted into the RN program, which begins this fall. I need a job that will pay decently and allow...

  14. What do you do in your spare time or days off?

    chiclet81 replied to sasha2lady's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in school still, but between that and raising two kids as a single mom, I have a busy schedule. But once a week, I go ballroom dancing in town, and during "down time" with the kids, I practice my...

  15. NHTI 2010 New Nursing Students?

    chiclet81 replied to esokitty's topic in General Nursing

    I will be there for registration tomorrow!!! :) Soooo excited! Also, I started a FB group for any other NHTI Nursing students for the class of 2012. Search for it and join, please! We can use that...

  16. Any mothers in nursing school with preschool-age children?

    chiclet81 replied to emptyboxcars's topic in General Students

    I have a 4 year old and a 2 year old. I'm a single mom half-time, so I try to have the kids all weekend and then two weekdays (one of which they are in daycare), and the rest of the week they are with...

  17. Nerves getting the best of me!

    chiclet81 replied to acantrell77's topic in General Students

    The Podcasts are a great idea! What helped me through A&P was recording my own reviews (reading my notes aloud on my iPhone) and then listening to them when I had long drives. I even listened to...

  18. Nerves getting the best of me!

    chiclet81 replied to acantrell77's topic in General Students

    I just thought I'd chime in: me, too! I think that' normal. Just be positive, and try to relax. If you feel the need to be "DOing" something, try reading books about how to study better or survive...

  19. Documentary: The Business of Being Born

    chiclet81 replied to SlightlyMental_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Glad I'm not the only one who feels that way. Who knows? Maybe there's room in L&D for RNs with natural birth experience. I'm looking forward to clinicals so I can get my feet

  20. Documentary: The Business of Being Born

    chiclet81 replied to SlightlyMental_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I used Hyponobirthing, too, and had a pretty calm, relaxed, and good delivery at home. 9 hours of labor, but it breezed by while I labored in the bath and did my visualizations and breathing. I...

  21. Documentary: The Business of Being Born

    chiclet81 replied to SlightlyMental_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I had a home birth, and attended my sister's home birth as her coach. I think that most pregnancies are normal and healthy and that in many cases a home birth is a good option. I also think that...

  22. Does anyone have a good site/advice for breastfeeding?

    chiclet81 replied to friendlysmile's topic in General Nursing

    ITA kellymom :: Breastfeeding and Parenting is the BEST site out

  23. How to get an A in Advanced A&P ?

    chiclet81 replied to blueyesue's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think you just need to use all the resources, not just textbook and lecture. I downloaded MP3 tutor sessions from the online resources that came with the textbook, and also watched the online...

  24. Pushy RN students

    chiclet81 replied to Whitney09's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I agree, do what you want to do, don't listen to anyone else. And I'll take note here, that suggesting the RN is not helpful advise. People just tend to want to qualify their own decisions by...

  25. ADN vs BSN Dilema

    chiclet81 replied to Eight-31's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm getting my ADN. It's much cheaper. If I like nursing as much as I hope to, then I'll invest in going back to school later, in a year or two. I hear there are some programs to take you straight...
