I would just say brace yourself for the next shift... And the next few months. And learn from the experience. It's all you can do at this point.

It's tough when you have patients that need toileted, requests for pillows, can I have a ginger ale, can I have a Tylenol, etc. sometimes it's rough if you peek down the hall and there are no aides to be found. Sometimes, if I know an aide is hidin...

I agree with emtpbill. Sometimes we can give a verbal warning on what it may feel like and what to expect (i.e. Out of body experience/painful and you might see a flatline for a few seconds). On the other hand, sometimes we are so focused on criti...

I use it probably about every other shift. The other day I had to sign off that the cardiac drip was correct based on their weight, so we had to run through the whole equation. The other day I was worried about a patient who was having out of the b...

Why don't you share your opinion first? Or is this homework assignment?

I wrote my response before reading the others. Missind33 we think alike! I feel like my post is a copy of yours

Stay positive. I walked out of the building crying bc I thought I failed. I had 23 SATA. Told my whole family I failed when I got home as well. I passed. There are countless stories of self doubt after taking the nclex if you browse through thi...

I know as a new grad I combed the posts about new grad orientation as I nervously waited for my first day on the unit. I worried about all the skills I didn't practice in school, all the computer charting I was "fuzzy" on, and whether I would get a ...

I don't mind the cursing like a sailor- I appreciate that she trusts me enough to give me the unfiltered version of herself. On the other hand, I understand how that may not be a quality that you aspire to as you orient new hires 😉

So, technically they will tell you it must have Kent state logo, blah blah. The cargo ones seem to look a bit too different than the ones we were "required" to wear. If the pants were half decent, I would say buy them. But they're not- they're awf...

If I could do it over, I would buy the top only and get your own white pants that are comfortable (theirs are awful.). And they say white shoes but by second semester everyone was wearing colorful nikes (or whatever brand you like). don't buy their ...

Yes, you can work on the opposite weekend day if you don't have Clinicals (towards the middle to end anyways). Parking was free and as close as you can get. UH and Kent didn't feel it was safe to have students walking downtown Cleveland at night (...

Clinicals were 100% weekends only. There will be some trips to Kent, maybe a few (3 maybe ?) every 7 weeks. The majority of the time, you will be driving to Cleveland. The program included Sundays towards the beginning, but those tapered off towar...

I just graduated from that cohort. With those stats and experience, they'll love you. A 3.5 is more than enough. Good luck!

We used it in fundamentals and possibly interventions. After that they use black and hawk med surg book, and a craven and hirnle med surg book. To be honest though- you can save money on books by just contacting the people in the cohort ahead of yo...

For the craven book, I had the seventh edition. I looked at my syllabus for that class and here are the chapters you need: 5, 40, 11, 16. Then 10 through 15, then chapter 6, 7, 4, ,42, 8, 2, 3, 41, 38 (and in that order too). Do you see how they ...

I'm so confused by the last post. I didn't see anything about having to do a semester over. I feel like I'm missing something there. Anyway, reading the book will never be a waste of time. You'll learn it all sooner or later anyways. Read away....

No, I'm not from Cleveland. I live near kent and I carpool with a another girl in our cohort on the weekends. I took all my pre-reqs at Kent. I took all the classes ahead of time and it has saved my sanity a little. I would take them wherever is...

I am in the Kent UH program that has class/clinicals on fri, sat, sun. While it isn't easy working full time and doing an accelerated nursing program, the majority of my class finds a way to make it work. If you're smart, and judging from your GPA ...

Me too!! Congratulations! And thanks for responding- I've thought of nothing else today wondering if I made it! Anyone else out there get an acceptance letter?

If anyone could tell me if they get an acceptance email that would be great. Would like to know as soon as possible whether I made it or not!

Me too thank goodness! Which cohort(s) did you apply to?

I would love to know if anyone gets an email/call for an interview. I keep checking and I'm driving myself crazy!
