Hello,
I am recent graduate and just received my license on 1/30. Its a bit ironic that I become interested in nursing since my childhood I spent in and out of hospitals. Until nursing school I never realize how important nurses are and I am glad I completed my diploma program. Nursing school was a phase in my life that I am sad to see ended, but immensely happy to be able to start working.
I know I still have a long way to go since I want my MSN maybe in nurse anesthetist, but I am not 100% sure just yet. We will see what happens.
For now I am looking for a job and working towards my BSN will start by Fall.
Update: After about 5 months of looking for a job, I finally found. It's not a traditional setting: it's a call center, taking calls for pharmaceutical companies. Even though, it's not a clinical setting I am learning so much! It can be difficulty at times, since we document adverse events (basically anything that happens to a patient while on one of the products that particular pharmaceutical company makes) if you ever have to call a pharmaceutical company for info regarding a side effect or any medical information- you are most likely speaking to a RN or other HCP :).
Also, I started the BSN program at Ohio University, completed first RN class and all my general classes except for my Eng 102- I am aiming for a fall completion date.
Any questions, just PM me!

Good job! I am happy, I receive the grade I wanted- I was just thinking about MSN. I know I am bit ahead of my self but with only two semesters left after this session I have to. Lets keep up the...
Awesome! Is the class interesting? I think we do enough writing in the nursing classes as it is, is the English class even more writing intensive? Good
Hello! Interesting I saw this post- I might have some insight as I work in a call center as a nurse. My job is a bit different - I do not triage per say. I work for a vendor, so nurses are hired to...
Just finished NRSE 4520- Health Assessment, I am so happy it was only 5 weeks! The class content was great, the multiple assignments and HESI quizzes were not- I thought I was done with NCLEX style...

Wow, I did not have the same experience. My TA was very good, this class was a bit harder because of all the assignments due each week. I am still waiting for my final grades, I keep looking at the...

EmJeanRN, thanks for your tips and info! So, if we have to fill out a consent form for a child, as the parents we would sign it, correct? Silly question, but making sure since I will use my son lol. I...
