Found it! Do a search for groups with the criteria "Frontier 121" :)

I have to fly, coming from the West coast...flight times are not great, looks like I will have to stay over in Lexington...

Accepted! See you all in December! Good luck!

No news yet...I think I suffer a mild panic attack each time my email notification goes off! Lol

A response to a query of the Frontier Facebook page said "very very soon!" So maybe tomorrow?:) Here's hoping!

Week seven, hopefully this week?

One week of waiting down...no news yet...

Looks like 120 has heard....We are next!

It seems like it has been forever since I mailed the application! I predict it will be closer to six weeks away from Frontier bound for the FNP class and 7 Weeks for the midwives. I agree with you all about the crazy waiting game! At least we should ...

I have applied for 121 FNP. The wait has been very long and I can't believe that it is October! Here's hoping and praying!

I would be leery of any job that made you pay for them to train you. A few years back I was hired into a level 1 trauma training program that paid you for your classroom and clinical time, (which meant you had the job, who's gonna train someone and t...

ER folks are always up for a practical joke....The fallopian tube one was new to me though... We had a trauma surgeon once that would always leave his keys laying around the ER and then run in looking for them after he had done his rounds. One night ...

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! 2nd time was the charm you big RN you.....I am very happy to hear that you passed on your second time, give yourself a pat on the back for going through that awful experience twice..... (taking the test I mean) :balloons: :rotf...

Gotta agree with Maggie on this one, is there any way you can make those classes? You have a heavy load with the three you are taking and with a point based system you want high grades. Some instructors will drop you and let the add ons have your pla...

It is scary to think that there are nurses out there that feel that new grads are idiots and do not belong in specialties (see eating our young thread:o ).... I agree that the new grad is usually more willing to ask a question rather than the seasone...

What is it with confused little old men and the O2 sat probe? I had one ask the respiratory therapist (we were both at the bedside) "What would happen if you stuck that on my D***?" The repiratory therapist calmly replied "Well, I would have to wash ...

OMG!!!:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: I'll bet you guys were rolling on the floor, I know I was....thanks for the laugh!

Hello! 12 hour shifts are not bad, once you get used to them an 8 hour shift is nothing! haha. In my hospital we work either 6am-6pm or the reverse. I work three days in a row and then have four off. Some of my co-workers work six days in a row and t...

I guess that most of you plan on working PM or night shift when you are done with school??? Stick with it, getting up early is the least of your challenges that you will face as a nurse... Good Luck, Ruthie

My vote is for 11-11 or 3-3 at my old job in a level 1 trauma center...you RAN for 12 hours straight......

Don't feel stupid...It is always scary to pack up everything, move to a strange town where you don't know anyone, and take on a strange job as a spanky new RN. Any one of these tasks would be hard on their own and you are the brave person to take the...

Pregnancy is not an illness, tell that lazy nurse on your floor to get off her duff or go home! As for the holiday/weekend thing, thats part of being a nurses so she needs to get over it and stop being such a prima donna.....sheesh!:angryfire

Hi! I agree with the other posters that your Mum needs to consult another doctor right away and have her counts checked if she is feeling so lousy. Does she have fibroids??? My mother had a similar problem about 6 years ago and had a terrible time ge...

I just love ER and clinic nursing....it keeps me on my toes and I am always learning something new....Ruthie

In my ADN class the oldest nursing student was 58, so you should definetely follow your bliss, your paramedic experience will be so needed in the nursing field! Especially if you want to work ER! Maybe you and your wife could be travelling nurses bef...
