  1. Med/Surg fail x 2. Now what?

    DrivenToDream posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I left my first job in acute care peds just before orientation ended because I didn't feel like it was a good fit and I didn't think I could handle up to 7 patients on the night shift (four was about...

  2. Med/Surg fail x 2. Now what?

    DrivenToDream replied to DrivenToDream's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thanks for all of the ideas. Community Health is a possibility but I have not found any opening so far. I love the idea of hospice but, as mentioned by others, I think one needs to have some...

  3. Bill would require nurse-to-patient ratios in Michigan hospitals

    DrivenToDream replied to herring_RN's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I would love to see this, but it isn't likely to happen. There have been similar bills introduced in every legislature since 2004 and every single one of them bit the dust. The hospital industry in...

  4. Are they going to accuse me of a "mind dump?" HELP!

    DrivenToDream posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took the NCLEX-RN today. Yes, I read the stuff and signed the things that I read them. Then clicked on the tutorial to begin. Absent mindedly, I just wrote down on the white board Phos Alb Pot.......

  5. Are they going to accuse me of a "mind dump?" HELP!

    DrivenToDream replied to DrivenToDream's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thought I would post this update on my NCLEX worries: I passed! Yes, my results took an additional day or so to post, but I guess I was worrying about nothing! So glad that is over and done with....

  6. Are they going to accuse me of a "mind dump?" HELP!

    DrivenToDream replied to DrivenToDream's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Man! I am so bummed about this. So on top of wondering if I passed (in 75 questions) I have to wonder if they'll invalidate my results and I will lose my job. I have to be licensed before the 16 of...

  7. Accepted a job but having second thoughts

    DrivenToDream posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hi, I'm a new grad and I accepted a peds job at a well-known hospital, which I am excited about. However, there are a few downsides to the job: it is a bit of a drive from where I live now (think gas...

  8. Accepted a job but having second thoughts

    DrivenToDream replied to DrivenToDream's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thanks, Commuter and IIg. I would certainly not drop the peds position without having an offer from the other hospital. They have offered me an interview for a position on a progressive care surgical...

  9. Eastern Michigan University (EMU) tradional nursing program

    DrivenToDream replied to Britt2008's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I think you had to provide a statement of working at ABC Nursing Home or whatever. Had to be on their letterhead. Things change so I would make an appointment with an adviser to see what is current. I...

  10. Questions on Clinicals at Sinai Grace in Detroit

    DrivenToDream replied to krisp925's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I just completed an OB clinical at Sinai-Grace. It is located on the city's northwest side, where I grew up many years ago! While the neighborhood has slipped a bit since I lived there, I never felt...

  11. 2nd degree student, having financial aid issues--anyone else?

    DrivenToDream replied to NurseMaybeBaby's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    This happened to me, too, when I approached 45 credits. I simply went to my advisor and they gave me a form that showed I was taking "new" credits for this particular program. In other words, they...

  12. Hearing impaired nurses

    DrivenToDream replied to dls102753's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I, too, am wrestling with this issue. I start school in September. My issue is that I wear In The Ear (ITE) hearing aids. I have resolved that I will have to take them out when I use the stethoscope,...

  13. EMU Second Degree (Accelerated) BSN program

    DrivenToDream replied to wannabeanurse84's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I saw that but I was not reading it right. I guess we just need to pick up the Hunter Green scrubs and I definitely need to start looking for some decent shoes because they said "clean!" LOL! My...

  14. EMU Second Degree (Accelerated) BSN program

    DrivenToDream replied to wannabeanurse84's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I just got my acceptance letter in the mail today, as a matter of fact. They also give you your schedule. I was expecting three classes (already took micro) but they didn't sign me up for DTC 203, or...

  15. Anyone apply to the accelerated Michigan State University or U of M program for '10?

    DrivenToDream replied to UpNorthTC's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hi, I am starting EMUs 2nd bachelor accelerated program this fall, 2010. I just wanted to say that I started the process a year ago because I needed to take all of the prereqs first. I've met with two...

  16. EMU Second Degree (Accelerated) BSN program

    DrivenToDream replied to wannabeanurse84's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hi! I have been admitted to the class as well. Can't wait for the Sept. 2 orientation!

  17. Eastern Michigan University (EMU) tradional nursing program

    DrivenToDream replied to Britt2008's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I was accepted into the accelerated 2nd bachelor's program. I had a 4.0 overall, all of my pre-requisite classes were taken at EMU, and I passed the TEAS. I feel very fortunate given the high...

  18. Eastern Mich and Wayne State's Acceletrated BSN

    DrivenToDream replied to jon2000's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I applied to the EMU second bachelor's nursing program for Fall 2010. The deadline was today. There are 32 spots and I just learned there were 300+ applicants for those 32 spots. : ( I'd like to see...
