Hi everyone! I am a new grad (May '13). Right out of school, I began working at a LTAC facility. It was not safe, but I did learn a lot. I stayed there for about 5 months when I applied, and was hired for a hospital-clinic job (Pain Clinic). I ...

Hi everyone! I have a question about the application process at CCRI. I've tried asking a few advisors, but I get different answers. Hoping maybe someone here can help? Right now, I'm finishing up all of my pre-reqs. The only two I have left (Into to...

Hi there. I am currently a Unit Secretary and had no medical experience. I also did not know ANYONE in the hospital. I literally applied to everything I could and finally had an interview. The interview was actually for a Unit Assistant position,...

This is my first post to this site :) Everytime I would Google a question, this site would come up, so I figured I should join and maybe pick some of your brains. :redpinkhe I've been researching different nursing programs because I'm leaving my care...

violin, please, please don't take what I said the wrong way. You should DEFINITELY apply and with your creds, you should have no problem getting in. What I meant was that your odds at CCRI are better vs BCC because of the number of applicants vs sp...

Hi violin, I think I can help with a few of your questions. Please don't mind if I have a few spelling mistakes, I am replying from my phone because my comp is acting up. anyway, I applied and was accepted to both BCC and CCRI. From my experience, I ...

My nurse delivered my 3rd baby... in almost the same way (except no epidural - not by choice, lol). The midwife on call (after I told her repeatedly that I have fast labors), broke my water and started pitocin. Then LEFT THE HOSPITAL! That was at ...

I am a pre-nursing student (starting the program in the fall ) . Anyway, I had jury duty this morning. Oddly enough, the case was a civil suit filed against two nurses for the wrongful death of a patient. My question is, if they were to lose the c...

I'm not sure. I only know the small details that were given from the questions asked to the jurors. I know that it involved a fall which led to other complications, then death. There were many other nurses and 2-3 doctors on the witness list. Als...

I'm not a nurse (yet), I start the program in the fall. However, I have 3 young children. My youngest is 16 months and I gave birth to her med-free (not by choice). The nurse actually delivered her. So, I remember all too well, what it's like to ...

I haven't received your email? I even checked my spam, but there's nothing there either?

Just email me your name so I know who to look for. :-)

Awesome! I just emailed 3 others that I found in the threads too :)

I've created the group on FB. So far, we have mcb, cmac, me and redpanda Labrat, Krisfon and Nikki (go create an account,.. even if it's under an "assumed" name, lol). Am I forgetting anyone? I'm going to go back a few pages to see who else has b...

Sounds good to me. I just have to be out of there by 12:45. Hubby leaves for work at 1. I'm sure that's plenty of time though

Absolutely! Is everyone going to be there at 9am for the uniforms? We could meet up before then?

I could create it. I just need the names to add. My email is " [email protected] " Email me your name and I'll add you in. This Saturday is fine with me :-)

I normally don't like random friend requests, but are any of you on Facebook? We could create a "group" between us so that we could post to each other there? Just an idea... it'd also give us an idea of what each other look like?

How about weekend morning?

The physical exam doesn't say anything about a time frame, so if I were you, I'd call. It seems ridiculous to have to pay for a second exam when you've just had one.

On the first page, it says, "Thursday, April 28th, 2011 @ 10am.... this is a required orientation for admitted new students...." , however, on the second page with the itinerary, it has everything for the 28th, then ... Friday, April 29, 2011 7:45a ...

Absolutely! I am pretty much free anytime. Mornings are better, but if nights work for everyone else, I can arrange a babysitter. Let's definitely get together!!!

Received the info packet today!!!!!!!!!!! Orientation is definitely April 28th. It's an all-day thing. From 9am-3pm. The itinerary is included. We will be ordering uniforms ($40 deposit), advisement, orientation and "other nursing requirements". ...

Thanks for all of the info! My mail arrives early in the morning (9-10am). I will post as soon as I see anything. Waiting patiently (again, lol).

I'm in Swansea, where are you?
