What makes you think you can't apply to other jobs? I know classmates that went to other hospitals before the 1 year mark? And I am to a icu from CVSD and only at the 1 year mark? You never know where you can go unless you apply....

You don't have to disclose anything you want to on your forms, they are not your PCP! And because of HIPAA there is no way they will find out unless you tell them. This is your private life.
Hello! I'm starting my nursing classes in Spring 2013! I'm looking for any students that are starting so we can talk about classes, professors and study groups and study tips!

Why is everyone trying to have their babies at 37 weeks? When did society jump to this convenience of having the baby so early at 37 weeks? Why is it "torture" to let the baby mature for the right given time? Just my personal thought....

I work at Baptist, can't complain but definitely heard that Methodist has lower patio ratios than us, baptist doesn't do tuition reimbursement but I do like the benefits, sorry so late.

I truly believe that some people have the knowledge and are very competent to be a nurse but don't test well. Just because your not passing the test doesn't mean nursing isn't for you. The fact that you made it through nursing school stands alone tha...

I didn't take patho there but most people took Dr. Hooker they said he was the easiest because you learned what you needed to learn. If I recall most people said quizlet quizzes, making notecards and a recorder to relisten to lecture. Also the libra...

That must be a "new" requirement, but baptist gives you a free cd-rom of Microsoft office for your laptop and I often take my laptop to my nursing classes to take notes. So far I haven't see anyone with a tablet in class more people have a recorder a...

I had something like that before the acceptance letter, can't remember it was back in nov '11. I'm not sure about how all they give it out too, I had a friend that didn't get accepted and I don't think she got one, but I could be mistaken.

It's all about the money, more money in their pocket if you take mor classes there! Plus every other trimester we get a email about credit prices increases.... Will be so happy when dec gets here....
