It means nothing. Just wait the few days to get the results. Good luck!

Avoid North Vista Hospital, Sunrise m/s can be brutal (but they're a great company to work - HCA) & Summerlin can be a bit crazy (I had 9 pts on nights, the average, one night I had 2 that needed blood & 3 that we on Fall precautions, & 4...

This is so awesome! Congrats! I'm coming from NV, you?? I have my ph interview this morning... nervous!

Natasha, will you be joining me next month in KY? I am excited, as I have been accepted into Class 84!

Hear anything yet Natasha?? ~Marianne Taking 1 day at a time. My hubby passed suddenly 09/20/2010. Miss you Baby!

CNM's from Frontier are everywhere!

Thanks for responding Tasha! I am getting sooo anxious! As I'm sure you r! I will PM u to give you my private email... ~Marianne

Natasha, Here anything yet??? I'm checkin my email everyday! ~Marianne

Ditto. It's had to find a job out here too. I got luck & came in thru "the backdoor". Hehhee. Actually a business card I gave out at a conference panned out when an LC was looking for her replacement! Sadly I get called off a lot. Hence, why I de...

WOW! Since May? That's when I 1st started to look at attending this fall! I have always wanted to go to FSN & have had plans since prior to attending NS. The reason I went into nursing was to become a CNM. What about you?? ~MJ

You get to pick.... I think! But from what I read it looks like NP. But call or email w/questions if you need too. They seem very nice in my emails I've gotten from them. ~MJ

Go straight to the NM of the hospital & unit you want to work in, is my best advise. Then keep coming back... you have to be persistant & do a lot of face time. Here in Vegas "it's not what you know, it's who you know." So, network,network,ne...

Yeah, me too! Thanks!

I applied to the same class! Nice to find someone else here! I live in Vegas. You??? Feel free to pm me @ my msn email. Nice to find someone else that applied! ~Marianne

I work as a CLC on a pp unit. I get called off more than you would realize. I would love to come in on NS & need to start working on making that happen. You r right about the eye rolling & the nursery nurses! We had a required lecture last mo...

don't quit! Hang in there GF! Go to an LLLI meeting... in my experience babies don't bf for the milk when they get into their toddlers yrs, its more comfort in my experience. Going to an LLLI meeting will help u to meet another mother who is probably...

I wk d/s on a full-service med/surg unit: GI, Onco, Tele (Cardio), Resp, Hospice, pre & post-op's, Ortho, Psych... yea I think that's it! Typical = 1:6. but over this last week I had 1:7. And if I dc home 3 & I started with 6, I usually get ...

Direct admit, br ca w/bone mets H & H of 3.5 & 19.1. My bulemic daughter was admitted w/a K+ of 1.7. (And was in bigimeny). Took 2.5 days to get it up to 3.7 (enough to get her transferred to peds from PICU)

Hang in there.. it gets better. And u WILL find your rythmn. I have learntd to say "I am not sure, but let me check or, which pt or rm # was that?" I try to take good notes & refer to my SBAR's when I need too. Other's need to be more pacient if ...

38hrs a wk r standard for NV. I personally love it. I work my 3 days & have 4 days off (if I'm lucky enough to have 3 days in a row). My hubby & I have had some great trips b/c of this scheduling. ~MJ

Y'all keep saying it costs hospital $$ to train new nurses.... HOWEVER: A little known fact I was told is that they get reimbursed by the gov't!

Stay away from N. Vista, they tend to eat their young there. As does Valley Hosp. Just to give u heads up

No prob here reporting... I'd just do it in private to the correct person (& expect you'll prob have to document it in writing, maybe anonymously?). It could be a life or death situation & possibly MY loved one that may be affected by the in...

Fact: my accelerated program had WAY more clinicial & lab days & hrs then the trad BSN programs I've looked at.
