I'm just trying to figure out how to manage my time I guess? When my nurses ask me for specific things like certain dressings or other medical equipment...and I don't know what it is- it makes me feel like I know absolutely nothing. But...the other day I had to take a manual BP and couldn't get an accurate reading. The one RN that probably already thinks that this job isn't for me got it on the first try and just glared at me afterwards...

Hi, just a little about me. I'm a third semester (out of 4) nursing student. I like learning about new disease processes and meds and such and am doing well in school. About 5 months ago I took a nurse extern job at a hospital. My clinical skills are not very strong, so I thought this would be an excellent opportunity for me to build some of my skills. It has proven to be a real challenge. I feel like I completely suck at this job. It's like I can never catch up with all the work. Some RNs I work with really well, and others I do not. Some RNs intimidate me like no other. I'm starting to dread going to work everyday because of this. Side note: I've never worked in the medical field and nursing was not my original major- I was an art major. Can anyone offer some advice on how not to be horrible at this job?! HELP!

I got my email too!!!! I'm so excited!

It makes me mad because if you told someone they should receive a notification that day or the next morning, they should follow through on their word...

A group sounds like a good idea. Maybe then we won't all feel like we're completely in the dark about certain things. Waiting. Waiting. Waiting. I'm wondering if they're just going to tell at the end of the week.

Still any emails? Can you guys let us know when you get an email? Please?!!!

So tired. I think I might be the most impatient person ever. I feel like annoying occc if they don't notify soon.

You're probably right. Gahh, I just wish I knew for sure!!!!

Whoops, never mind my last post. Hoping for an email today so I can quite stressing!!!!

So, I'm assuming that the ones that were accepted will be notified today also? You all are amazing to find out this information! When I called earlier the only person I could speak to was a student ambassador. That proved to be super helpful. All he could tell me was that it was already pass deadline.

Ahh, thanks. I'm starting to second guess myself on everything now. I'm so nervous about tomorrow.

I do have a question about the requirements... What science classes counted for the requirements? I'm starting to think I didn't have 3 classes for preference points. Geez, the stress.

I applied on the 3rd. I wouldn't put too much thought into it. I wonder if anyone from admissions ever reads these forums and laughs at all of us freaking out. Fingers crossed for all of us.

It was kinda hidden among weather alerts...I didn't notice it until today. (It was sent on Wednesday) It just said that no changes to the application were allowed and that this email was in no indication of admission into the program. Kinda weird, huh?

Compass.
