We have this- neonatal admission team (NAT). Same exact thing you explained. And yes its soooo hard keeping this role filled. At times the nicu nurse will have to fill in and we DREAD doing it because it is so grueling.

Hello! I know this thread is a few months old but I think you still might be in need of advice for getting into the NICU. I was in a similar situation as you, I had my preceptorship at a Level 3 nicu near my home and had no idea what to expect but th...

Congrats! I just started as a NICU RN this week (officially on the floor)! I’m so excited.. How’s your experience so far? I got hired on the hospital nicu unit after spending 8 weeks of clinical time working there, so I’m pretty familiar with it, but...

I am wondering the same thing... How did it turn out for you? Was it a good idea as a last semester RN student?

oh thats great!! hopefully you'll be hearing something soon!

im pretty sure they send denial letters too. you should call or come to the campus and ask... for the bsn they sent out real letters so maybe there was a mixup with addresses.

did you end up applying in December?

hey, I would contact the school as soon as you can, you should have heard SOMETHING. I got an acceptance letter via email on the 1st. I applied for the bridge program for associates. the bachelors rn applicants started getting their letters (in the m...

How was your first semester?? Hopefully I’ll be starting soon, and I have no idea what to expect as well.

Hey, i'm applying for the bridge program for fall 2019! Application just opened yesterday and I am almost ready to submit... im hoping to get in but i only have 60% of the pre-reqs done instead of the "recommended" 70-80% so i dont know if they will...

Im doing anatomy and physiology 2 and micro next semester with labs. But i hear those two classes go hand in hand.

If nursing is your passion, keep your head up and try again! A&P is one of the most difficult pre-reqs because it is a lot of information, a lot of memorization, and a lot of concepts and body systems that you continue to build on (learn about). ...

Is there a reason why you chose to take them seperately? In my opinion, I would consider the option to do the integrated Human Anatomy and Physiology.. mainly because if you decide to continue on in your studies to become an RN, at least it would cou...

Hang in there! I'm not in the exact same situation but family issues interfered with my plans last semester and it was a bummer. A semester or two passing makes you feel like wasted time. Using your time wisely, like the other commenters said, is gre...

Keep your head up! You may be doubting yourself but if you made it through lvn school, and have finished all the prerequisites you have more knowlege up there than you think. Work hard to review all of yor nursing skills, make sure you understand the...

I agree with the others.. i am so sorry all of this happened, but moving on will benefit you in so many ways. You will learn how to adapt to a new place, hospital and position. You'll be able to use what you know at the present hospital as reference ...

first question: What kind of "mistakes" are we talking about here?

High Five :) sounds like an awesome day for an awesome nurse with awesome skills!

Try the tic tac toe exercise. It really helped me. And I would also recommend youtube videos.

I'm graduating highschool this June and am preparing to enter into the LVN program at Victoria College in Gonzales. Has anyone gone there? or the main campus? I'm just wanting to know about the overall total price of the program. I can't find a strai...

Thanks for the advice. I will be in Gonzales too, and im super nervous and excited :) i can't wait to get this over with so i can start working and seeing patients again.

"Wow, nurses would do anything to make their patients laugh!"

Thanks, you too! I hope you get in so I won't have to pull my hair out alone!!!

I don't know how competitive it is either. I got a 65% in English and a 87% in Math with an overall score of 74%. I took it in February and had NO IDEA what I was going to get. It was pretty challenging at times. I'm officially done with all the pa...

Hey, My name is Rhanda. I'm going to attend a community college in the fall for VN. I've filled out my FAFSA for 2012-2013, and since I've been taking a pre-req college class, they had me fill out the 2011-12 FAFSA also. They say it'll cost about 10,...
