  1. Hi all, I am a new grad and I have an interview soon for an ambulatory surgery/pain management clinic. The hours are great, the guy seemed very positive on the phone, and this could be a real opportunity. However, in researching the facility onl...
  2. Interview with a pain clinic- red flags?

    Update: I got the job! Thank you again for all the advice. I researched the facility and MDs' licenses and it appears to be a completely respectable place with a good record. It may not be a forever job, but it's a great foot in the door!
  3. Interview with a pain clinic- red flags?

    Thank you for the input everyone! Lots of great feedback. I'll treat the interview like any other- do my homework, and not judge the place before I even get there. I won't ask about the internet ratings, but just try to feel the place out for myse...
  4. Interview with a pain clinic- red flags?

    You wrote that just as I was responding, heron. You are right! Thanks!
  5. Interview with a pain clinic- red flags?

    Thank you, needshaldol. The "reviews" were on a few different websites, and were just polls about satisfaction, wait times, etc. I didn't see a lot of free response. But out of about 4 such sites with 10-20 responses each, the place only had a 30-4...
  6. Microbiology Lab Virtual Unknown

    Search your help section. I forget where it is, but there is a section that recommends the tests for gram + or - bacteria.
  7. Rodp microbiology tennessee

    Oh, and you can go to the website for the virtual unknown and download it for about $12. You'll have to turn in 3, but you can do as many as you want to play/practice with it. If you mess one up, just start another.
  8. Rodp microbiology tennessee

    hi johnny, i can't reply to messages yet, so i'll answer your questions here. 1) how do they know if the mid-term and final are proctored. also- how many questions are on each exam. for the proctored exams, you will have to make an appointment and...
  9. Rodp microbiology tennessee

    I took this class last summer. It's ok, and it gets the job done for your prereq's. Check with your nursing dept- I think all TN schools accept RODP online classes, but better to check beforehand. You will need to buy the book and the Virtual Unk...
  10. RODP Micro Biology ?

    I did this over the summer too. I found it very time-consuming for an online class- the assignments, term paper, tests, and virtual unknowns all squished into 8 weeks. You basically have to teach yourself the material, and you don't get to do the "...
  11. First week of NS. Any misconceptions?

    I've had a very positive first week too. I know it will be demanding, but I have positive instructors who have made us aware of all the resources we have to succeed, and who make us comfortable and excited about nursing. The other Nursing 1 student...
  12. watch with sweeping second hand?

    I recently bought a watch for nursing school, and the package just says "Japan movement". Is this sweeping second hand? I assume it must be the right kind because it is a jelly band watch that I picked up at Life Uniforms, but I haven't opened it y...
  13. Since you are in TN, check out the Regents Online Degree Program (RODP) class offerings. I'm currently taking Micro online, and I did verify that my nursing program accepts it (Columbia State). I just don't know if there will be another course offe...
  14. Warning about Columbia State.

    I'm not sure as I haven't started yet, but my friend who did the program 5-6 years ago said they did clinicals all over: nursing homes, Williamson Co. Med Center, Vandy Childrens, Southern Hills... sounds like a good exposure to different places in N...
  15. CSCC Nursing School Uniform

    Thanks for the information and tips! I'll be starting this fall at the Franklin campus. Reading ahead sounds like a good idea- I'll try to fit that in around Micro this summer.
  16. Warning about Columbia State.

    I'll be starting at the Franklin campus this fall, too. I've heard good things from current and former students. I'm looking forward to it!
