  1. Part time job

    celyseRNBSN replied to omaragg's topic in General Students

    Tons of people in my nursing class got jobs as patient care technicians or nurse techs at hospitals as a part time job. Most of them started out in the summer and then kept the job working part time...

  2. Passionate new grad for the NICU! How do I get there!?

    celyseRNBSN replied to TxSunflower's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I think peds oncology would be the better choice, too. Things don't always happen on the timeline we want them to, unfortunately, but if you know you're passionate about NICU, don't give up on it :)...

  3. Nursing Student Considering NICU

    celyseRNBSN replied to Squarestate's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Good Luck! :) If you need more time in the NICU in order to make your decision, you might see if your local hospital allows volunteers as feeders or "cuddlers." I know that my nursing school only...

  4. Nursing Student Considering NICU

    celyseRNBSN replied to Squarestate's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I understand your concerns about "pigeon-holing" yourself, but my opinion is that if you are really serious about pursuing NICU, doing a preceptorship there is the best way to get your foot in the...

  5. Did you learn IV in NS?!

    celyseRNBSN replied to tammy_zeidan09's topic in General Students

    Wow, I had never heard of so many schools not allowing IV starts until now! My program had us first practice on dummy arms in lab (we weren't allowed to stick each other), and then any time we had an...

  6. Cold feet?

    celyseRNBSN replied to seaglassgreen's topic in General Nursing

    To be honest, I didn't really want to go to nursing school either. My mom convinced me that it would be a good fit for me as a career since I was interested in healthcare, but didn't want the...

    celyseRNBSN replied to aghols12's topic in Texas Nursing

  16. should i even bother with nursing

    celyseRNBSN replied to LookForward's topic in General Nursing

    When I first started nursing school, I had zero confidence. I was book smart, but definitely felt like a bumbling idiot when it came to performing manual skills. People can usually pick up on this...

  17. Peds is NOT easy!

    celyseRNBSN replied to Double-Helix's topic in Pediatric

    I completely agree! Many people want to go into peds because they "absolutely love kids." While you do have to love kids, you also have to watch them be ill and sometimes die. It's not for the faint...

    celyseRNBSN replied to aghols12's topic in Texas Nursing

  21. Anyone applied for an Internship for Scott & White, June 2012?

    celyseRNBSN replied to aghols12's topic in Texas Nursing

  25. Next best place to preceptorship if I want to be a NICU nurse?

    celyseRNBSN replied to emptyboxcars's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I would say OB since you would still get to work with the babies right after they're born, and learn some of the OB risk factors/conditions that lead to neonates being sent to the
