    Annabelle57 replied to LadyEJ BSN, RN's topic in General Students

    My class just started, and of the 60 that accepted, 7 never showed up and 2 dropped after the first week - $$$ issues, I think, but I don't know for sure. We're in a highly competitive accel BSN...

  2. Please explain to me why people think this is weird?

    Annabelle57 replied to sherichance's topic in General Nursing

    I have a friend who (I think) has the same thing: he's allergic to the cold. I thought he was joking when he said it to me - a lot of people here in FL will say that as a joke when asked why they...

  3. Are you graded on your clinicals?

    Annabelle57 replied to Bonny619's topic in General Students

    Every clinical we have has a counterpart lecture course to go with it - the lecture course gets a letter grade, the clinical gets a pass/fail. But a lot of the work that gets graded in our clinicals...

  4. Please explain to me why people think this is weird?

    Annabelle57 replied to sherichance's topic in General Nursing

    I grew up with allergies as part of my life - but they weren't my own, only my brother's. His allergies: nuts, yeast, chocolate, cheese, yogurt, a whole handful of spices, MSG, caffeine, pork, sugar...

    Annabelle57 replied to Nony's topic in General Students

    Annabelle57 replied to Nony's topic in General Students

  8. Nicu Nursing wages ?

    Annabelle57 replied to sheena06's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I also concur that new grad wages are generally the same in regards to department - I suppose they might vary depending on the type of degree, but that's a whole other can of worms I don't want to...

  9. Do you say NICK_U or N-i-c-u?

    Annabelle57 replied to tofutti's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    We get all of 'em, actually. Nick-u, neo, neonatal ICU, N-I-C-U. And our hospital has a big Neuro ICU, but I've only ever heard it referred to as "Neuro". I don't think you'll be exiled to dorkdom...

    Annabelle57 replied to Sunshine0425's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
