Hello! I began my first nursing position in November 2015 working full-time on an ortho/neuro/oncology floor. I did a lot of classroom-type training and general orientation for the first month and...
It's what you're imagining! Usually it's a great big mix of ortho pre-ops, fresh post-ops, and post-ops that came back later with complications, strokes, epileptics, dementia and Alzheimer's patients,...
Hi All, My husband I moved to Nashville right after I graduated with my ASN in June 2014. I passed boards the next month, gave birth to our first baby in September, and intended to start applying...
Hi all, I have spent the last couple of weeks submitting multiple applications to tristar and st. Thomas facilities. I received a phone call from a rep at St. Thomas who said she'd been reviewing my...

I went to the bookstore today and they refunded me the difference in what I paid and the cost of the book bundle online. That composite skills book that the salesgirl had mentioned to me apparently is...

Thank you Speedmy79! I just noticed that the hard copy price was also listed on the sheet given at orientation as $726 and some change. I will get in touch with the bookstore tomorrow...I'm so excited...

Speedym79, did you pay $727 in the bookstore? It's necessary, but I feel absolutely sick about the amount of money I just gave them today. I'm wondering about your total though...they charged me...

I also had to go in to the registrar's office to have them change my status from pre-nursing to nursing. I gave them the course numbers I had chosen and they got me registered right then. I am taking...

Kayliana, I chose option #13 also! :) Deni, are you certain your registration was complete and the courses aren't just in your shopping cart? That's kind of frustrating that there are holds on some...
Kebby1016 replied to Kebby1016's topic in Nevada Nursing
Not yet Kayliana! I tried to register immediately after orientation and couldn't, so I called the office and was told that the block on our registration will likely not be resolved any earlier than...
