I have an associates degree and have been working in a smaller ICU for a little over a year. My family is moving from Florida to the Denver area at the end of March. Do you think it will be difficult for me to find a job there? And what hospitals ...

I will. Honestly I don't really have a choice. We are moving regardless and I have to work.

Well, that's slightly discouraging. I dont particularly want to go into a long term care or rehab after being in ICU all this time.

Thanks so much. I will make it more generalized.

I graduated in May and have been sending out resumes without a single bite. I am feeling a little bummed and am wondering where I am going wrong. L&D, postpartum and NICU are where I would love to end up but I am applying to anything and every...

No problem. If you have any questions feel free to PM me. I'll do almost anything to avoid studying for monday's final.......this program will do that to you.

I don't know if you got the answer to this question already but, you take a HESI every semester. But it's specialized to what you are learning in that semester. In fourth, you take an exit HESI in which you have to score an 80 percent to proceed to...

Here is my opinion for what it is worth. Yes, Nursing is completely science based, but I don't think you have to love science to become a nurse. Instead, I think you have to really LOVE people to become a nurse. Before I started my nursing progra...

My total points were 31.something I took the NLN, I scored in the 98 percentile and got the full 10 points.

I have a nine month old. I take my lecture courses online so I can keep him out of daycare. I have clinicals all day monday and tuesday and wednesday skills class and a skills appointment or two a week. I am kinda like THATGUY, I have a strong ba...

Congrats. That is great news.

My entrance GPA was 3.4 and my points were 31 something

I am first semester student and also a mother. I am hoping to end up in labor and delivery. Since you are where I hope to end up, could you give me any advice? Any special courses, certs, experiance, basically anything. It's my dream.

So for me.....I got the bundle new (fundamentals, the workbook, the lab book and mynursinglab) and glad I did cause I highlight and write in the both the book.....plus there is so much info in the books i'm probably going to keep them until school is...

I just had my OR experience the other day. It was amazing. I was worried about getting queasy as it was at 7:30 in the morning. I ate a good breakfast and went in prepared for the worst and hoping for the best. I got to observe a total hip replac...

Honestly it all depends on your clinical instructor. My professor now says we can wear long sleeves in white or navy. But Professor ******** says no way and she is one of first semesters main professors.

In both of my rotations this semester, they will not let us wear the lab coat since the professors wear white lab coats and they don't want to confuse any of the nurses or patients.

EVERY semester goes through this same wait. It always gets cut close to class registration time. Don't stress, classes don't start until the beginning of January. Breathe future nursing students. This is only the beginning of the journey. :)

You're welcome. Also, I wear the dickies scrub bottoms. They match and they are softer and more flattering than the uniform bottoms. If you have any questions, let me know. I give up what ever information I have.

The uniform is navy scrubs from landau with the school name on them and all white leather shoes.

I'm sure you all have been checking but just something to remember is that the status changes in panther web under the limited access button days before they send out any information. Good luck. Try not to drive your self crazy waiting for the resu...

I love my littmann classic II but it really is all about knowing where to listen and what you're listening for.

Good luck to everyone. I'm in the middle of semester 1. I hope everyone that gets in is prepared for a wild ride.

I got a 94 on my first nursing exam. I read the chapters....ALL of them. I did the NCLEX style questions in the back of the book. And I looked over the professors powerpoints to make sure I had a good understanding of all the concepts. Our profes...

I just started NS last week. I have a six month old baby and a teenager at home. My husband works weird hours and the teenage is, well, a typical teenage. So when my husband is at work I have very little help with the baby or with chores, which m...
