    Julesmama28 replied to mical's topic in General Students

    I'm graduating in December, I'll be 36. I also have a lot of kids, so that makes me an oldster in my own category! Lol probably half my class is not married and a traditional student. The other...

    Julesmama28 replied to Live.&.Learn's topic in General Students

    Ha ha, thanks. It really hasn't been easy, but I've been blessed with great kids who all support me and an awesome hubby who has been there in every way too. I don't know how the single moms do...

  6. Looking forward to third semester!

    Julesmama28 replied to Friskee's topic in General Students

    My third was great! We all started out a bit burned out from a really tough level two, but it was good. That's when we did mother baby, peds and mental health. I'm in level four now, just finishing...

  7. And...Done: allnurses gave me a smack down

    Julesmama28 replied to Stephalump's topic in General Students

    Congratulations!! It's crazy how fast it has gone! I've been right there with you since we started at the same time. I still have one more semester to go but I know it'll fly. What are your plans?...

  8. Life, kids, work AND Nursing School...

    Julesmama28 replied to Live.&.Learn's topic in General Students

    I wanted to say too, doing a big batch of frozen meals before the semester starts is a huge help for us. Also, doing the deep cleaning and organizing on breaks is a must. I have to swap out seasonal...

  10. Grand Junction Hosptials

    Julesmama28 replied to JuLeSx7d7's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I'm living in GJ right now. Set to graduate in December. Not sure how well the hiring process is for new grads who didn't go to school here though. We have three good sized hospitals, one of which...

  11. Which specialty would you like to end up in?

    Julesmama28 replied to baseball mom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I always loved the idea of L&D or postpartum or NICU. Now I'm really leaning toward ICU or ER. I'm also interested in our NEURO floor, great pace, lots of amazing nurses there. You just never...

  12. Is school nursing right for me?

    Julesmama28 replied to GatezRN's topic in School

    I think it really depends on what you're looking for. School nurses in our district cover several schools each and are mainly involved with paperwork and disability plans. Hardly any patient care or...

  13. Text message for job interview?

    Julesmama28 replied to pnkgirl25's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Trust your instincts. If it seems shady, it probably is. I wouldn't go interview unless you get some very legit information to back up this dr A. Yikes. I would run. It's too bad he already has a...

  14. Starting nursing school..why am I so afraid?

    Julesmama28 replied to 4everpeace's topic in General Students

    You'll do great! I'm going to graduate in December and it's been a long journey to get here, but I wouldn't change a thing! Nursing encompasses my whole person! I have learned so much, yet learned...

  17. Accelerated ADN program?

    Julesmama28 replied to mommycruz3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I looked up that school...I'm very curious as to why they won't post the average time it takes graduates to actually complete the program, or the job placement percentages! Scary. They will post how...

  19. Did you get to choose your Clinicals site/schedule?

    Julesmama28 replied to Stacilator's topic in General Students

    We are assigned and given a precise schedule to follow every semester except the last one. On our 5th semester we get to voice our preferences for our senior specialty. Depending on how well we are...

  22. Will a Nurse Clinical Residency help me land a job?

    Julesmama28 replied to super nerd's topic in General Students

    I think most Bsn programs offer something like that. Ours is called "senior specialty" it's 12, 12 hour shifts in a chosen unit. It's clinical hours and not paid but a good way to gain experience...

    Julesmama28 replied to kplp1111's topic in General Students

    Kplp1111, congratulations to you too! That stinks that it's so far away! I guess I got lucky with the VA in the same town I live in. Good luck working it out. I have kids, but I have ones old...

    Julesmama28 replied to CinciGirl_86's topic in General Students

    Great attitude! Only you know yourself best! You can do what you believe you can do, when you work hard and don't quit. I have eight kids and a lot going in my life, yet I'm one and 1/2 semesters...

  25. If you could do one thing to get ready for Nursing School

    Julesmama28 replied to Myoclonicjerk's topic in General Students
