Hey Rachel! I'm on nights. I'm going to PM you!

Hi everyone! I just recently accepted a position at Banner Boswell Medical Center for their Intermediate Care Unit (similar to PCU) floor. My tentative start date is in the middle of March, due to the fact that I have to endorse my CA license to AZ. Is anyone here starting around the same time frame? Any advice as a new grad? And for those currently working at Banner Boswell or went through their new grad program, do you enjoy working there?

Hi everyone! Good luck on your applications! I know the anticipation must be dreadful, but it'll be here sooner than you know it. I am currently a 4th semester nursing student at Chico State so I hope to see some of you next semester! If you have any questions, feel free to ask :)

Hey girls. If you don't have a stethoscope or have not yet ordered one, are you going to wait until orientation like what the paper said?

I think it's just non-skid shoes. That's what I'm going to get. And I still have to buy a laptop too ): I work retail so I couldn't even shop during Black Friday at all.. For the 27 hours my store was open, I was working 21 hours.. Lol. Only had time to sleep in between my shifts.

@k2115 Did you already have that stethoscope? I was hesitant of buying mine because the paper said if you don't have one yet to wait until orientation to buy one.

@k2115 I was just about to ask you about that required book. The only latest edition I could find is the 6th edition and there's like two different ISBNs online..

For the physical examination and health assessment book, did you guys buy the package with the health assessment online or did you buy them separately?

Hey guys, I checked my certified profile and I still haven't gotten information about where to take my drug test at :/ How long did it take for your location to show up? It's been about 2-3 days since I signed up for certified profile and nothings showing.. Also, I haven't even ordered my books.. I feel like I'll order the wrong one. ): @jennybewbs, I'm going to email you about the books.

I want either sections in Enloe just because it's in the city. How about you @jennybewbs ? Did you order all or your books already @k2115 ?

I agree. Ordering the books seem to be the most confusing part.. @jennybewbs Yeah, it's only recommended but I'm just going to get it just in case.

@k2115 yeah, now I'm certain an xs will still be too big on me, lol. @jennybewbs P**** emailed me back and she said my MMR shot should be enough. So I'm going to upload my immunization document on Monday after I get my meningitis shot.

If it says complete, that means they accepted the paperwork right? My documents for my CPR, car insurance, and health insurance are all completed. I emailed P**** about the MMR dilemma and she said she's unclear as to why I can't get the second shot. But I think I'll be buying 2 tops and 2 bottoms. However, I feel like even the XS might be loose on me because I think I'm a tiny person.. Lol. Did anyone order their books yet?

Yeah, there's a test at the end. But the course is so simple. It was my first time and I got all of my answers right on the test. If you listen in class and just do as you're told, the test is pretty simple too.

@Jennybewbs I took the CPR course months ago and it was my first time. Not scary at all. It was a four or so hour course and the class just listened and did hands on stuff with the dummies. It's just the BLS for healthcare providers card. Hopefully it's the right one.

I ordered my certified profile and just uploaded my car insurance, health insurance, and cpr card. Hopefully they're all accepted. For my car insurance, I did what @Jennybewbs recommended; I just uploaded a document that showed my name, as well as every other driver in my family.

@k2115 I haven't even signed up for certified profile yet..

@k2115 If you look at the immunization page and look at MMR, it says Measle, Mumps, Rubella, and Rubeola. A second MMR vaccine shows immunity to rubeola. @Jennybewbs Yeah, I was going to email P**** about it tonight so that hopefully she'll get back to me tomorrow. Oh and for the varicella titer, I had a different doctor when I was a child so I don't know how to go about asking my current doctor. I'll probably look at my medical records and figure it out. I'm also on my dad's insurance for my car, so let me know how you guys are fixing it or if you guys are asking the nursing department about it.

Urgh. I wish I did these shots before hand.. @Jennybewbs I can't take a second dose less than 28 days.. So my next MMR booster for rubeola is on January 16.

I just got 4 of my shots done but now I need to get a titer to show I'm immune to chickenpox. Did everyone get their second shot of MMR to be vaccinated against rubeola? I asked the lady about a second shot of MMR for rubeola and she said I had to wait another month for it.. I hope the program will be okay with that..

I mean I did get immunized when I was a kid, but my parents never kept me up to date so I'm pretty sure all of my vaccines have expired or are going to.

I have all of my shots to do ): I hope I can get it all done soon..

Hey girls. I just checked my mail and I received my packet! This is getting too real. I'm excited :)

I got in too ladies! :) Congratulations! I'll see you gals soon. I'm still in finals week for school but now I have all of this to do. Lol. Btw, I got in with 90 points like what I thought I had.

@Jennybewbs I'm thinking of moving in January so I can save up for the first months rent and the deposit. I can't wait for this week to be over. Hopefully they tell us soon because I'm already getting anxious. Lol.
