  1. Nursing tech vs. waitress?

    Agree ladylysis... PCA experience may not be the same as nursing, but it sure as heck makes a difference in knowing what to expect when you become a nurse. There is a dynamic to nursing floors that...
  2. I'm starting LCCC in August as well! I'm getting excited and nervous as orientation is coming up. As far as reputation, LCCC has a VERY good one. I think we find out about clinical site selection...
  3. Hi Everyone. Just wondered if anyone else is on the loooong waiting list for LCCC. How long have you been there? Are all of your support classes done? When do you expect to get in? Myself, I'm...
  4. Congratulations! There are tons of different living options around here! What campus will you be working at and what kind of environment do you want to live in? (suburban? funky/cool/lots to do?)...
  5. Looking for an RN job in Cleveland?

    ^ To the above poster - the information sheet says that they will be interviewing new grads, soon to be new grads, and those in their last year of nursing school as well. Job fair aside, you may...
  6. Haha - I emailed 2 advisers yesterday, too! They all must've gotten sick of being buried in emails! I'm going in to accept tomorrow and sign up for the late orientation. Which one are you going to?...
  7. I GOT IT!!!! Omg - I'm so emotional right now! Snickers, check your
  8. I wrote this long post and it disappeared! I totally sympathize Snickers. I feel like I'm just waiting to be able to start my life! I don't know what I'll do if I don't get in. Well, I do - I'll...
  9. Looking for an RN job in Cleveland?

    No problem - I know I've seen quite a few posts from people looking for jobs. They are taking all levels of experience, even pre grads! Here's a link to the details and registration: Nursing Now |...
  10. Ooh - they're emailing them? To our school address? Fingers crossed Snickers - I hope we both make it
  11. Well, it's about that time... Letters for Fall are supposed to go out in Mid March. I'm stressing out - anyone
  12. Cleveland Clinic - Physical Capability Assessment

    I was not asked for LMP when I started at the Clinic in November! And, generally speaking, hospitals are okay with preggos. I got my first hospital job with no experience when I was 7 months...
  13. Hello, My husband and I are considering a move to either the Charlotte or Raleigh areas. I'm a pre-nursing student and have finished all of my support classes awaiting a clinical spot. Any advice on...
  14. Starting LCCC ADN program in January 2012

    I'm so glad there's finally more people on here from LCCC! I'm crossing my fingers to be able to start in August. If anyone that's in the program is interested in selling or loaning some books out,...
  15. I posted awhile ago asking whether it was better to start in CCU or on a Med/Surg floor. I decided that even though I was comfortable and loved my job where I was, I'd go for one in the CCU where I...
  16. Well, I officially started my training on the floor last night - everyone seems nice, and I think I'll be just fine! Thanks for all of the good
  17. Cleveland Clinic Interview

    Did you get the job? I started my CC orientation yesterday... TONS of people in it and they said they hold orientation WEEKLY -
  18. Thanks, Jenny Lou! I'm crossing my fingers for a fall start date! How's it going for you so
  19. Don't be nervous, lol! I think salary REALLY depends on where you're located. I know around here (NE Ohio) you could probably expect to start around $11-$12 without experience give or take a bit......
  20. Well.... it was about the biggest waste of time EVER! I got there and was told that the counselor was out (and has been for several weeks so it's not like they couldn't have called me) and that...
  21. Thank you! I think that will be my biggest obstacle in the move - different order sets. What are frequent order sets that you guys use? I don't come from a cardiac floor, so the most I usually get...
  22. Aww, sorry! You made me feel better, though... I hope the secretaries on the unit I'm going to are as big of idiots as the one on your unit - I'll have it
  23. LMAO - Holy cow, hope you feel better now! There are good secretaries out there but reading your post makes me realize why I'm so appreciated at my current job. I always run interference on phone...
  24. How do you pick your vein for an IV?

    That, I get - but I've had nurses try to prove a point when I tell them I'm a hard stick and where a good site is - On more than one occasion looked at my veins, said "no, you're not" and proceed to...
  25. How do you pick your vein for an IV?

    I scope out my husbands' veins while pretending to caress his arms lovingly, lol! I do have to say to those saying "don't listen if a patient tells you they're a hard stick"... I am one of those hard...
