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

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

    Yeah I guess I knew that was all I could do, but was just trying to deemphasize

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

    tsm007 replied to tsm007's topic in Western Governors University

    Nope WGU was very supportive at least at my location. I did not take a term break. I did my last clinical day at 38 weeks and delivered 6 days later. Then I didn't have another clinical rotation for 6...

  3. Where to look for non-traditional hours?

    tsm007 posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I am really frustrated. I don't want to go into all the details of my personal life, but at this time I am not available to work between the hours of 6:30am and 8am due to childcare conflicts. I would...

  4. Where to look for non-traditional hours?

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

    Yes, child care. I have 2 of my sister's children living with me as a foster placement right now that have really complicated my life. I also have my own kids, but they are for the most part able to...

  5. Taking the Job

    tsm007 replied to pilatesgal's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Go for the job and if you get it then give your coworker a good referral when the next spot opens

  6. Where to look for non-traditional hours?

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

    Neither of the 2 hospitals near me offer 8 hour shifts period. Rather annoying. I have started applying to non-hospital jobs, but frustrated that all of the hospital jobs are 7p-7:30a. I have applied...

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

    tsm007 replied to tsm007's topic in Western Governors University

    *seems not seams! Gah. I hate when I spell things wrong. Hmph, some college graduate I

  8. Admissions priorities for WGU Pre-licensure

    tsm007 replied to lindberg328's topic in Western Governors University

    Honestly I don't what their selection process is. I only know that some states are clearly more competitive than others. From what I can see California is their most competitive. I know we had people...

  9. As a nursing student, how can I take initiative in clinical?

    tsm007 replied to studentnurse711's topic in General Students

    Why would asking first not show initiative? What doesn't show initiative is standing around waiting for the nurse to ask you. Just make sure what you are asking to do is something you're allowed to...

  10. As a nursing student, how can I take initiative in clinical?

    tsm007 replied to studentnurse711's topic in General Students

    Things that I do to show initiative are removing empty trays from rooms and answering call lights. I wouldn't take vitals without asking or get water without asking or ambulate a patient anywhere...

    tsm007 replied to Judi421's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  12. Somebody Knock Some Sense Into Me

    tsm007 replied to lilgop's topic in General Students

    I totally feel your pain! I have kids and a family already and have been freaking out big time during my capstone. My clinicals follow a full time shift and I am EXHAUSTED at the end of the day. I...

  13. Separate L&D clinical

    tsm007 replied to marthacates's topic in General Students

    If it were me, I would worry first about getting through the LPN program and go from there. You really just don't know what opportunities will happen in the future. If you want to get into L&D...

  14. Hesi petition

    tsm007 replied to kfbris56's topic in General Students

    It really doesn't honestly matter whether I agree or disagree with you. I seriously doubt an online petition from complete strangers on the internet will have any impact on the school's decision. I...

  15. Selection for Fit assessment

    tsm007 posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I applied for my first job and got an email response asking me to complete a selection for fit assessment. I got too many little people aka my kids home to fill this out right this minute. Plus I want...

  16. Selection for Fit assessment

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

    Well going to update this in case anyone does a search for info on this it might be helpful to them. Well, it was a personality type test, but it also included a timed deductive reasoning test. The .....

  17. Selection for Fit assessment

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

    Thanks, for trying :). It's an online tests so thinking it's a skills assessment, but not 100% sure. Going to take it tonight regardless of whether I figure out any info on

  18. New Grad feeling like a loser - Virginia Beach/Hampton Roads

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

    I may be wrong on this, but I believe the real benefit from volunteering is networking and making connections more than actually getting

  19. Find your Specialty Quiz

    tsm007 replied to Sisyphus_01's topic in General Students

    Holy cow! That was RIGHT ON! Kind of freaked me out a little. It came up with Certified Nurse Midwife and second choice was rehabilitation nurse. It makes me feel better that what I think I want to do...

  20. Toco placement and palpating contractions

    tsm007 posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am doing my senior practicum in L&D and I'm doing fine with placing the US strap and finding FHT (sorry not sure if that's the right term for it), but struggling with placing the toco. I am also...

  21. Toco placement and palpating contractions

    tsm007 replied to tsm007's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thanks for your help. Should it be centered or too the side? I see nurses moving it around quite a bit. I am going to try finding the contraction first and then placing it. Another question, if they...

  22. ATI Med/Surg (Chronic Care)

    tsm007 replied to mondomagic's topic in General Students

    My best advice is to study the ATI book more heavily than your textbook. Also this book helped me a lot to study for the ATI Med/Surg exam Med-Surg Success: A Q&A Review Applying Critical Thinking...

  23. WGU Prelicensure Indiana 2015

    tsm007 replied to RJTnurse's topic in Western Governors University

    Honestly, things moved really fast from the time I applied until the time I was admitted. I don't remember the exact time though. I know they have 3 hospitals they work with for sure - VA...

  24. WGU Prelicensure Indiana 2015

    tsm007 replied to RJTnurse's topic in Western Governors University

    I think you got great scores and a really good chance to get in. Study hard for the TEAS test. Get the TEAS book to study with because the test is kind of weird. TEAS Review Manual, Version 5.0 (ATI,...

  25. WGU CASAL II

    tsm007 replied to MirkoMcClammy's topic in Western Governors University

    I can't remember the skills for CASAL 2, but they change the program a lot so even if I did remember I'd still confirm with the course mentor on this. CASAL 2 I believe has a WGU assessment and not an...
