No offense taken! I'm fairly new to this speciality and unfortunately was under the impression this was the norm. It worries me to see it's definitely not.

I'm in a large metropolitan level III facility and nine times out of ten it's just the RN and Dr/midwife in the room. The RN tends to both mom and baby simultaneously. For high risk deliveries NICU will come to make sure baby is stable. Once delivere...

Good to know! That's where I plan on applying after the BSN.

I starting May 1st too! Just paid my tuition tonight (ouch) but looking forward to orientation next week! GL everyone!

Hi everybody! Quick question, for those of you who took ENG 1301 and 1302 with UTA, did you have to use the required UTA version of this book? I'd rather not pay $175 when I can rent a different version for thirty-something bucks! http://www.amazon.c...

Lol! I hear ya!

Nope, still waiting on mine too. I'm so ready for this class to be over. Writing 3 papers on the same topic is killing me!

Hi everyone! I had an interview this morning with. NM at a hospital I'm very interested in. She then called me this afternoon to set up a 2nd interview (this time a panel) for next Thursday with her and 2-3 others. Should I send a thank you note toda...

Thanks!!!

Bump I'm going to an assessment next Friday, just curious to see what I'm in for. :)

Me! Just did the introduction today, my kids are off for spring break so there's been zero time to get on the computer! :)

Count me in too! I have 7 prereqs - starting Comp 2 and Sociology on 3/25. Hopefully, once I'm a little more comfortable with the format I plan to take 3 classes at a time. I just finished my ADN in December so part of me is dreading jumping right ba...

Curious as to how financial aid worked out for you? I'm now going thru this same problem and I start Monday...I've called FA several times, including today, and was told it will be approved this week- it's cutting it close!

Very true! Thanks everyone! Erin

Hi everyone! I have a quick question and hope someone can help me. I applied for a position at a local hospital, and with the tips from allnurses.com was able to track down the email address of the floors' NM. I emailed her and she responded back wit...

Thanks! Should I also shoot an email to the nurse recruiter? I've been in contact with him in the past few weeks regarding another position.

This was exactly what I was going to say! My husband's a police officer and he gets this allll the time.

I'm only finishing up my first semester this December. As far as job prospects, I've "heard" they attempt to help with job placement, but given the job market down here in Florida, I'll have to wait and see. That's another big reason I'm jumping stra...

Yes, Keiser is both regionally and nationally accredited, and the ASN degree is fully transferable to both FIU and FAU; I would assume the same for Nova and UM. I'm currently in the Keiser program and plan on going for my BSN after graduation. Best ...

It's tough, but manageable if it's really something you want. I'm about 6 weeks into an accelerated 16 month ADN program. I'm also married with a 3 and 5 year old. My husband is a police officer with long, sometimes odd hours so pretty much all of my...

Interesting post, as I'm a nursing student married to a cop. He had been a police officer for several years before we met and I met him when I was a police dispatcher. That was almost 10 years ago and we've been married for 6 years now with 2 kids. ...

We have white tops and navy blue pants. Thankfully the white tops aren't see-thru, instead they are almost like a thick canvas material....yuck!

I'm sorry you're having such a rough time! As a brand new nursing student in South Florida with no possibility of leaving the area for at least the next 5 years (husband's job, small children), your post really worries me. Hang in there and best of...
