    tsm007 replied to tsm007's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm not going to go into too much details because this is a public forum, but my boss clearly does not have the same take as you folks on expectations. Another lousy day, but I worked my butt off to...

    tsm007 replied to CynthiaG's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I was scrolling through posts here and stumbled across yours. I was going to send you a message, but I think you have to have 10 posts here to send private messages. I'd love to stay in touch with you...

    tsm007 replied to tsm007's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Great advice. I love the note card idea! Totally going to use it. Already working on the brain sheet and been working on writing things down and not asking the same question twice already. I need to...

  7. Another feeling stupid thread... Need encouragement

    tsm007 replied to tsm007's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Totally redid my brain sheet again and don't care if I look dumb it has all the things I could think of that I needed to check. I even made a list for postpartum education and a cheat sheet for things...

  8. Another feeling stupid thread... Need encouragement

    tsm007 replied to tsm007's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Just as bad! I totally forgot to turn the patient over to assess her episiotomy! I checked the bleeding and fundus. I don't know why I didn't remember I needed to do that. I think it's partially...

  9. OB narrative nursing notes

    tsm007 replied to tsm007's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thank you. I have been looking at other nurse's notes too and jotting things down on a cheat sheet when I like how they word something or I notice something I should be charting that I am

  10. OB narrative nursing notes

    tsm007 posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Newbie looking for advice with narrative nursing notes. I did hardly any in school so I have little practice at them. Most of the nurses here do a narrative nursing note as part of hourly rounding....

  11. For those in/were in the Prelicensure Program

    tsm007 replied to OliverElio87's topic in Western Governors University

    Usually it is 3 lab weekends for clinical classes. They usually aren't 3 in a row though (but they could). Usually it is 2 and then the test (either 2 in a row 1 week off and then the test weekend or...

  12. I'm in! Woot! L&D nursing here I come

    tsm007 replied to tsm007's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have a BSN, but don't have any special credentials. My hospital hires new grads into L&D though. I think that varies by region of the country. None of my classmates have had any problem getting...

    tsm007 replied to tsm007's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My TEAS score was not as high as I'd liked because I was kind of rushed to take it, but it wasn't a bad score either. I believe it was

  14. Thinking about pursuing Western Governor's BSN Pre-Licensure in Indiana and have questions

    tsm007 replied to odyssey5's topic in Western Governors University

    You'll be fine! The skills are super basic - patient transfers, etc. Several people had no real medical experience and one person I know of was also a teacher. I absolutely love WGU's program and you...

  16. ATI Schools

    tsm007 replied to futurepsychrn's topic in General Students

    I'm sorry, but I'm going to disagree with the line of thinking here. My school used ATI. It was not part of the curriculum. We knew there was an ATI exam after every class. It was up to us to study...

  17. Preceptorship in OB

    tsm007 replied to theviolinist's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Well since I was recently in your shoes, maybe I can help. Tips write down things like what supplies you need to set up for delivery so that way you can get them all without having to miss something....

  18. Do any WGU graduates have jobs?

    tsm007 replied to Mindylane's topic in Western Governors University

    Yep, got a job! Just graduated from their prelicensure program and had absolutely no problem finding a job. In fact, my interviewers were WGU alumni (small world). I chose WGU not just because it was...

  19. I'm done! Singing the praises of WGU

    tsm007 posted a topic in Western Governors University

    No way I could have done this without WGU. They have made a dream of mine come true. I am finally a college graduate! I just graduated from their prelicensure program. It still seams so surreal. Next...

  20. Navy Nursing

    tsm007 replied to Lauren1212's topic in General Students

    I would suggest talking to a recruiter. I do not know of any enlisted program that offers nursing training. They have corpsman as enlisted Navy, but nurses are all officers. I am a Navy veteran and do...

  21. I'm done! Singing the praises of WGU

    tsm007 replied to tsm007's topic in Western Governors University

    California, Indiana, Texas, Florida, and Utah have a prelicensure program. I highly recommend it! Not only was it more flexible than a traditional program I feel the quality of education was better....

  22. How long for authorization to test in Michigan?

    tsm007 posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I hate waiting. My school is out of state and ALL of my classmates who are testing in state (not Michigan) have already gotten authorization to test. I had to send transcripts, but still they should...

  23. How long for authorization to test in Michigan?

    tsm007 replied to tsm007's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Answering my own question in case someone else searches for this. I put all my paperwork in except transcripts Dec 12. I had my school send transcripts Feb 24. Tracking number from post office showed...

  24. Job interview no license yet. What to do?

    tsm007 replied to tsm007's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    After all that stressing I got notification from the state that they received all my info and have sent my authorization on to Pearson. I should hear something on authorization to test in 7-10

  25. Job interview no license yet. What to do?

    tsm007 posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    When I originally applied for the job I had no idea it would be so long for me to get my graduation paperwork and my license. I thought I'd be graduated 2 weeks earlier and thought I'd have my license...
