I finished a BS Healthcare Management program in December... I start my accelerated RN next month.

My hospital hires nurse assistants with no certification or experience. I did this for a year full time on a med surg floor... mowed yards before

My just wife got hired as a new grad on an oncology floor, but new orleans would be a long commute from CA. Good luck!

When I considered CRNA as a profession, I was probably 22 years old and in the middle of a Healthcare Management bachelors degree. I only had about a year and a 1/2 left, so I decided to finish and apply to an accelerated 2nd degree nursing program. ...

greenelle79-Congratulations! I have heard a lot of good things about the Hurst review. I will definitely be doing that as well, when the time comes.

I agree, I definitely think that the talk from the current students was helpful.

Wow, what a relief! Thank you so much for your input and congratulations on making ot to the last month of the program! Does anyone know if we are supposed to dress a particular way for orientation? I'm assuming it's casual.

Awesome! Well I guess you are getting a head start on anything that we learn involving the respiratory system!

ACLS & BLS? what is your job if you dont mind me asking? Respiratory Therapist?

Oh, I just got the titer, bc I already had chicken pox. I just got all my titers at the same time. Only cost me a $25 copay at my GP, but I know what you mean about the titers being expensive without insurance! I went to a walk-in clinic originally, ...

CKP: just FYI, Varicella is the chicken pox vaccine. If you have already had chicken pox, you don't need it.

No, I havent figured out how to get on blackboard. I dont know if we have to use our student ID (which I dont know) or what. I was able to log into webservices with the same info as the email log-in. Webservices is weird and its like I have to Log in...

Jvr1581- i was having the same problem with the flu vaccine. I turned mine in without it and they said it was fine. They pushed back the due date until 10/30/11 for the flu vaccine on my webservices account. Most places wont have the upcoming flu sea...

Just in case y'all haven't realized, orientation is in 1 week!

I created a facebook group for the class if anyone wants to try to join. I tried to invite some of you by using email addresses, but it will only let me invite people that I am facebook friends with. The group name is: OLOL Accelerated Nursing EJGH ...

He sent me some pharm powerpoints. Anybody that wants me to forward them to you, send me an email at [email protected]

OK, so I called him and he is supposed to email me some pharm ppts. He basically said that it was hard for everyone, but he said that the ones that failed or quit were not committed enough. For instance, they were not prepared to put forth the large ...

He said the class is like drinking water out of a fire hose. He said it is just so much information, so fast. The way that he made it sound was that 9 failed during pharm and the other 16 failed or quit after pharm.

Update: (viewer discretion is advised) My wife has been doing orientation at Ochsner this week. Today she met a new grad from the OLOL Accelerated program (he was doing orientation as well). Basically I have good news and bad news. OK bad news first:...

So I have everything done paperwork-wise except for the seasonal flu shot. I tried to get it this morning, but the hospital where I work is not carrying this vaccine. They consider flu season to be from October-May. Has a seasonal flu vaccine even be...

Ooo loyola, so you are used to these outrageous tuition prices! Luckily i have not had to take out a loan until now. I am so ready to get in class and forget about this whole process and the paperwork!

jess525- Im talking about what we are eligible for through Financial Aid. We can not receive pell grants through FinAid, so when you fill out your fafsa and everything you should be eligible for Stafford Subsidized loans or Stafford Unsubsidized loan...

You didnt mention what area you were in. Personally I think OT is kinda boring and it would be frustrating for me if I did not see results from my pts. Everyone is different, maybe your best bet would be to shadow an OT and a Mental Health NP for a d...
