So sorry. Me too. Giving myself today to wallow and then working on my next application. Keep pushing forward!

Check your emails- I got mine the morning. Sadly no offer of interview. Good luck to the rest of you!!

Getting antsy here, too! Hopefully we'll hear something early this week.

Hey jessmajek, I asked for my unit educator's help-- she got me in contact with the Chief CRNA at my hospital and I was able to set up a time to shadow from there.

Hi all! Glad to have found this group here and looking forward to seeing some of you post acceptance in a few months! :) I am am finishing my application now, just waiting on shadow verification form and need to hustle and get PALS. This will be my ...

I believe they used the percentage. I never had feedback from my coach regarding anythzing within Shadow Health so I honestly don't know if they review them in detail or not. Those essay type questions were always the same within each system and I fo...

Diggerdave, You'll use Shadow Health for your virtual assessments. Once you finish your assessment, look at the feedback and use it to complete your assessment again. It takes a bit more time, but you're able to be much more thorough with your line o...

I took Health Assessment and Management together. They are both tedious but it was completely doable. Vulnerable Populations would be good to double with Assessment as the class is front-loaded and the bulk of work is done in the first three weeks, w...

Hi BeautifulDisaster-- I'm a recent grad (August '13) and began my orientation in the MICU of a L1 trauma center last October so I'm still new, too. As said before, it can be very overwhelming coming into this setting fresh out of school but take eac...

Verbiage taken directly from TX HB705: (1) "Emergency room personnel" means a person in a hospital emergency department who, in the course and scope of employment or as a volunteer, provides services for the benefit of the general public during emerg...

Hello! I'm a new grad (Aug '13) and have just passed boards at the beginning of the month. I've accepted a position in an ICU internship beginning in October in a 70-bed ICU at a L1 trauma center and am curious if any of you wonderful nurses have pea...

You are all awesome! Thanks so much for taking the time to respond :)

Thank you all so much! It means the world and I hope to put your advice to good use soon :)

I got the same pop-up and passed. It just means they're reviewing your exam a bit further-- could be for finishing quickly, palm scans not working correctly, etc. I tested on Friday and got my quick results on the following Tuesday after my results b...

I got my results this afternoon-- I passed! Made the wait worth it :) Keeping fingers crossed for Type1Nurse2b and nursemami4!

Makes me feel silly when you put it into perspective. Foot in mouth :)

linap, I had to take a second glance at who wrote this post because it looked nearly the same as a blog post I wrote first semester about my own experience :) It did take a little time, but as some pp have said you'll find your groove. I found it eas...

Oh goodness! Same deal here: I didn't feel like I rocked it but had a good helping of SATA and got cut-off at 75. From what I've read here and elsewhere, results could be held for any number of reasons ranging from palm ID scan issues, getting up wit...

My school breaks it down like this-- "If a student turns in a paper for two classes without gaining consent from both instructors, it is considered an act of dishonesty and, therefore, an act of cheating (i.e. receiving double credit for a single ass...

I'm currently finishing up my first semester of an ADN program and work 40 hours (4 10s in the evening) weekly. I'm on the go 7 days a week between work and school and I'll admit it can be pretty exhausting but completely doable. There's no harm in t...

Costs might go down if you try buying nearer to the end of this semster. By then people will be selling back their texts to bookstores or getting rid of them online so bargains might be more competitive.

I too am starting my ADN in the spring and am beyond excited. We've had our orientation already and toured the facility...which is amazing! Have most of my paperwork, immunizations done etc and bought all my books--really hurt the wallet by the way l...

Maybe concerning a women's choice against induction/epidural/cesarean during the birthing process against medical advise? I recently saw a documentary "The Business of Being Born" and those topics were mentioned...really interesting. I'm not in schoo...

Thanks for sharing, Renee! I actually came across your vids not too long ago while channel surfing :)

I haven't yet begun my nursing program, but I know that in my area WIC offers nutrition and parenting classes to mothers who are in need and have tons of resources in the community. You could gather literature from them, maybe even churches that offe...
