  1. What subject or subjects would you take out

    WillowNMe replied to johnny depp23's topic in General Nursing

  2. Awkwardness....what to do?

    WillowNMe replied to winter_green's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I agree you should go get a follow up appointment. At the appointment I would explain that you were just not in a good spot emotionally to come back and hear the news. It is better that you get...

    WillowNMe replied to Pa0428's topic in General Nursing

  5. Mentors and friends, I have been contemplating, advice on where do i go from here?

    WillowNMe replied to willowRN's topic in General Nursing

    I would definitely try to reconnect with some classmates or find people who are supportive of you. I would think it is very frustrating to be a large financial supporter of the people that are...

  6. Advice needed on which job to take...

    WillowNMe replied to SD**RN's topic in General Nursing

    I would also go with the surgery center... if pay is similar in both, I think you would enjoy having a normal schedule. Only difference would be if your goal long term is to be in ER or OB. Then I...

    WillowNMe replied to digoe74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    WillowNMe replied to adampricecna's topic in General Nursing

  9. Full Time Nursing Student with a Full Time Job

    WillowNMe replied to adampricecna's topic in General Nursing

    WillowNMe replied to ByTheLake's topic in Emergency

    WillowNMe replied to MARIA212's topic in General Students

    I am at the beginning of mine. I am excited, but I really wish I would have gotten my requested night shifts. I work overnights for my job - 12 hour shifts - and my preceptor works 8 hour day shifts...

  14. Should I take Patho if it's optional?

    WillowNMe replied to CDMZG's topic in General Students

    I would absolutely take it. The more you see stuff, the more you will understand and pick up a little bit. Patho is a lot to remember, so give yourself a head

  15. How to explain how hard you have to work in nursing school

    WillowNMe replied to guest10's topic in General Students

    You don't :) I have lost a couple of really good friends through nursing school because they didn't understand why I suddenly dropped off the planet seemingly. It really hurt at first, but in the...

    WillowNMe replied to melisgood's topic in General Nursing

    WillowNMe replied to mehitabela's topic in General Nursing

    TCU, in my neck of the woods at least, is Transitional Care Unit. To the OP - are you flexible on area? A lot of the students that have graduated the year or two before me have recommended that I...

  18. What's the longest you would commute for a job??

    WillowNMe replied to max66's topic in General Nursing

    If I stay in this state, I will be looking any where from 45-75 minute commute. If I move, I would like to keep it under 30 minutes... to decrease my time and also save a little on gas

    WillowNMe replied to smooshcrickets's topic in California Nursing

    I can't speak for the school, but for the loans... depends on your age and your credit score. My first few loans, I had my dad co-sign. During the divorce, my dad refused so I signed on my own (at a...

  20. Texting staff to cover call off's

    WillowNMe replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    I prefer being texted, especially at my last place of employment. I found myself saying "yes" more times... I think it was because I wasn't annoyed at a bad-timing phone call or felt like I had time...

  21. second chance at nursing school

    WillowNMe replied to aflac381's topic in General Nursing

    I would not bring it up - I originally went to a different school for three weeks and was at first petrified to bring it up... Naturally six years later I know that it really didn't matter then....

    WillowNMe replied to Black Jade's topic in General Nursing

    I think it maybe helps to understand the process better, but I still go through the same grieving process... I have seen a couple of my co-workers, though, take sort of a third person seat. I don't...

  25. Any suggestions for white scrub pants? (That aren't see through?)

    WillowNMe replied to Cat_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Ugh. We wear white for school, too. I always wonder who has the genius idea of putting nurses into white scrubs. My mom (also a nurse) said it looks "clean"... No it doesn't!! Not when the parking...
