    I have to respectfully disagree with Ned. In my experience, the intermediate care postings have been the most acute of the bunch. At the last hospital I worked, the step down was much lower acuity...

    Um, so did anyone else have a positive Quantiferon test? I was going to go turn in all of my paperwork today, but I got an e-mail from -------------- and apparently have to go take some chest x-rays....

    jaxxiepoo replied to KNest18's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Thanks, Em, that's really helpful. Does anyone know where we buy the name tags? I wrote down SSC 131, but the UNLV website says the cashier's office is 136

    There a quite a few threads about good nursing shoes on this site. I bought a pair of New Balance shoes because they had good reviews

    jaxxiepoo replied to KNest18's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I got the small pants. I think it's the right size, they're just rather spacious in the crotch... luckily the shirt covers it up! Hahaha. I used to wear a medium in girl scrubs when I worked at the...

    jaxxiepoo replied to KNest18's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I was wondering this, too. I thought we were going to get an e-mail? NURS 305 has five different sections, so... yeah. My scrubs finally came! I feel like I'm wearing clown pants hahaha. Yay for...

    jaxxiepoo replied to KNest18's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Like if someone couldn't enter the program for some reason? It probably wouldn't hurt to ask, but I would wait until next Tuesday after the contract signings are done so they don't get annoyed at you...

    I ended up changing my date because I have a ton of deadlines on the 15th. See you on the 18th

  24. UNLV SON Spring 2014??

    jaxxiepoo replied to KNest18's topic in Nevada Nursing

    From reading the older UNLV SON posts, it looks like the contract signing and orientation are different events. I kind of gathered that from last year's handbook, also....

    jaxxiepoo replied to KNest18's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Yay, I'll see you there! Does anyone know what to expect? I know we have to pay for our uniforms, background check, and drug test, but otherwise do they just go over the contract with us? I guess...
