I'm sorry to hear this dear. It's no fun being in that type of position, but just like another member has said, take this as a lesson and learn from it for your future endeavors. Always show up early to work. You never know when you will run into une...

Have you tried Koi scrubs?

Feel free to ask as many questions as you want...I'm so happy to help! :-) For me, fall semester was a bit busy just because I also work at a hospital as well. I took 10 or 11 credits I think but the U does offer a 13-credit exemption if you are taki...

Hey there! First of all, congratulations on acceptance to the U of M's program, as well as getting accepted to the Rochester campus. You will love it! I am officially a junior in the program on the Rochester campus since I just finished up my finals ...

So I have a question for the CNA's that work in a hospital setting, or I guess anybody that could give me some insight. I am currently finishing up my first year in a BSN program and I am also working 20 hours per week as a CNA. I work at a pretty sm...

Thank you for your input! :-) It sounds like you guys have a really good system set up. You're right though...teamwork is the key! The last few weeks our census has usually been around 15-17 patients but we still only have one CNA on per shift. Would...

This thread is so interesting to read! I'm finishing up my second semester of a BSN program right now and I am getting burned out. I started the year working 24 hours per week at a hospital as a CNA but I found that to be quite a bit for me personall...

While I have no experience with HCMC, I work for Allina and I am so pleased. They are excellent to their staff and I believe they give amazing care to each and every patient that comes through!

3-4 days sounds about right. During the fall, I was on campus on Mondays for our study group, Wednesdays for Nurse as Professional and our lab lecture, and then Thursday I had my full day of lab and adults lecture. This semester I am only there on We...

Hi SaraG21! Congratulations on your acceptance! I am currently a sophomore nursing student at UMR and I really like it! We have about 30 students in our class so you really get to know each other and the nursing faculty on campus. Fall semester consi...

I would say #2! It's a good way to experience what you are interested in, as well as seeing a new environment. You never know...you might really like the facility! Externships are a wonderful way to get your foot in the door at different facilities.

Hello everyone! I just started my BSN program this past week and I have to say, I am SO overwhelmed with all of the reading! It seems like almost too much to even retain the material if I read all of it. Do any of you have tips or ideas on how to tac...

Thanks for all of your awesome posts everyone! I'm now just about one month into my BSN program and I'm finally getting into a routine with my reading and studying. I have been trying to skim before I go to class to get a handle on what we will be ta...

Thanks to both of you! :)

Awesome! Thanks for sharing!

Mine is a Littman Classic II SE with raspberry tubing and rainbow finish on the chest piece. I love mine! :-)

Yay! So happy for you! Congratulations!

Congratulations on your new job!

I'm not sure if there are any men in L&D at the hospital I work at, but my mom said she had a male nurse when she had my younger brother. She said that male nurse was the BEST nurse she had. If you're interested in L&D nursing, I say go for i...

Let us know what you hear about your interview! I'm crossing my fingers for you!

Hey everyone! So I've been a CNA for about 2 years now and I've decided I want to try to get into a hospital setting. I love my residents and I love the facility, but I just want a change of pace. I'm starting my BSN program this fall so I also think...

Thank you! I'm so excited! July 14th is when I start orientation...can't wait! I have to find teal scrubs now haha. Let the search begin! :-)

I start my BSN program this fall! I'm excited! Have you already started your program?

They called today and I was offered the position! I definitely accepted! :-) I am SO excited and thankful for this opportunity! Good luck to everybody else on their job hunts and interviews! :-)

I interviewed on Tuesday and I was offered the job today! I am SO SO SO excited to start!
