   Hopeful4it posted a topic in General Nursing

   I am in my final quarter of my bsn and saw something today that I wanted to get your opinion on. A pt was admitted and was thrashing around after transfer to a bed. He was extremely confused and scared, and the nurses were not able to comfort him or ...

3. Landing a Day job as a New Grad

   Hopeful4it posted a topic in Career Support

   I graduate in June and am trying my best to get in the mind set of working 12 hour shifts more than once per week. I am very much a morning person - I much prefer to get up early and go to bed early than to be up all night. My question is: Is it unli...

4. Hate my job

   Hopeful4it replied to Hopeful4it's topic in Career Support

   As a Student Nurse I am essentially a Unit Clerk and ER Tech rolled in to one, except that I can not do splints. My job duties include transporting patients, entering orders (labs and exams) in to the computer, doing ECG's and running nurse errands. ...

5. Hate my job

   Hopeful4it posted a topic in Career Support

   I got a job in the ER as a Student Nurse and was told how lucky I am because it's a trauma center and they're picky on who they hire. However, now that I've been there for a few months I find myself dreading going in. Everyone nit picks and criticize...

   Apparently I'm not a super creater of FB pages -- I don't see how to make it available to add friends, just "likes" which really isn't what I intended.

   I'm not sure how many of you are still reading this thread, but I created a Facebook page for our cohort. I wasn't able to find it in a google search, but if you look for "CSUSB Nursing Class of 2016" while in FB it comes up. The photo is a stethosco...

    @Jesses*girl: Have you tried calling the office or going down there? They may be able to give you some information. Yesterday was the deadline for people to respond, I would imagine that today would be a more likely day to get a call. Also, the point...

    Hopeful4it replied to Jasmic's topic in California

    They called at about 3:30 this afternoon and asked me if I was still interested in attending the program. Then they asked if I could come in today and do the paperwork (sign the letter and fill out an emergency contact card). When I got there I had t...

    Hopeful4it replied to Jasmic's topic in California

    Life as an alternate is stressful. Still no phone call from the school, so it's starting to look like I wont find out until next week when the deadline passes and the spots open up from people not responding. I feel pretty good about my chances of ge...

    Jollyrogers: I haven't talked to any graduates from csula, but anyone (professors, students, etc.) I've talked with have said that it doesn't matter so much which program you attend. A degree from one place over the other doesn't seem to matter much....
