    Luckyyou replied to drem7116's topic in General Nursing

    For what it's worth, my white coat ceremony was completely

  2. Thinking of Making a move to St. Louis Missouri

    Luckyyou replied to saraaileen76's topic in General Nursing

    There are no hospitals in the Saint Louis area with unionized nurses, so we do not have any protected nurse:patient ratios (to my knowledge at least). When I graduated last year, the job market was...

  3. Happy Nurses Week Cards...

    Luckyyou replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    FYI, free Cinnabon with nurse ID this week! Also, The Melting Pot (in my area at least) has a great four course dinner with wine included for $35 a person, and they gave me chocolate covered...

  4. Graduate nurse from Illinois moving to Texas

    Luckyyou replied to lsid16's topic in General Students

    I would recommend starting this process ASAP as Illinois is extremely slow with licensing issues. I moved to Illinois with a Missouri license, and turned in my paperwork for endorsement on the fifth...

  5. Cold feet?

    Luckyyou replied to seaglassgreen's topic in General Nursing

    I very strongly disagree with the theory that nursing is a "calling" and that you have to feel it is your preordained destiny to become a nurse who both loves your job and is excellent at it. I went...

  6. Scrub Jackets

    Luckyyou posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    For some reason, I have had the worst time finding a scrub jacket I like. No matter what brand I buy, and even if I buy them two sizes too big, the sleeves are SO short! They barely make it to my...

  7. Abolishing the Pinning Ceremony

    Luckyyou replied to drem7116's topic in General Nursing

    I went to Saint Louis University. We had about 120 in our class (there is the 4 year and the accelerated BSN, which had less students) and I'd say more than half attended but I don't know the numbers....

  8. Abolishing the Pinning Ceremony

    Luckyyou replied to drem7116's topic in General Nursing

    I went to a 4-year BSN program. We had a pinning ceremony along with a graduation for the nursing school and a bigger one with the entire university. I didn't attend the pinning ceremony nor did I go...

  9. Paramedic interested in becoming a NICU RN

    Luckyyou replied to CCParamedic91's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I work at a magnet, university affiliated NICU at a well respected children's hospital. We do hire new grad ADNs but I would think the competition is extra tough for them. With your experience and...

  10. Grey's Anatomy junior fit- need advice

    Luckyyou replied to AryaRN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I wear a size 10 generally ( 5'8 and 150 lbs) and wear a very baggy large size in the Grey's brand. My DDs don't fit in the tops so I'm not sure how those

  11. What kind of shoes do you wear for work?

    Luckyyou replied to missie1's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I have four pairs of Klogs, which are similar to Danskos but have a much softer inside. They also come in some really fun patterns. I have a silver snakeskin pair, a purple glitter pair, a leopard...

  12. Getting into nursing school as a freshman. . .

    Luckyyou replied to Entzmingerica's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Saint Louis University has a 4 year BSN as does the University of Missouri in Saint Louis and Kansas

  13. Use of linens in NICU

    Luckyyou replied to LnmoonRN's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    We use hospital provided linen that is changed with every bath and PRN when soiled. Ends up being about every 2-3 days for the big kids and closer to a week for the little squids. Giraffes are changed...

  14. What is your work schedule like?

    Luckyyou replied to AlexisNicole's topic in General Nursing

    3 days a week, 12 hour shifts rotating, so 6 weeks of nights followed by six weeks of days. Three holidays a year, plus an extra for the first three years. Every other weekend, plus usually 6...

  15. Advice needed on career pathway! includes USAF & CRNA

    Luckyyou replied to charleneeey's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    According to military-nurse.com, "The army is also the only service that will allow a Registered Nurse with an ADN or other 2 year degree to join the reserves.* All other services require a BSN or...

  16. Advice needed on career pathway! includes USAF & CRNA

    Luckyyou replied to charleneeey's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Military nursing, with the exception of the reserves, requires a BSN. In the reserves, you can't be promoted to Major or above without a BSN. Something to think

  17. Too young to be a nurse??

    Luckyyou replied to eschoolgirl's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I graduated with my BSN when I was 22 and was the youngest on the oncology unit where I started by at least 3 years. I am still one of the youngest in the NICU where I work now at 23 but there are a...

    Luckyyou replied to kms6417's topic in Ob/Gyn
