  1. V neck scrubs

    RunBabyRN replied to poeboy's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Dickies! I've actually worn very thin shirts or running shirts (like Under Armor-style) just as an added layer for wicking. It does help keep me

  2. Getting my foot in the door...

    RunBabyRN replied to Dtermnd2Bgreat's topic in General Students

    I agree- a CNA position is likely your best bet. One nice thing, aside from the patient care experience and working alongside nurses, is that you can make some good connections if you're outgoing and...

  3. Will a Nurse Clinical Residency help me land a job?

    RunBabyRN replied to super nerd's topic in General Students

    Holy crapballs, that's expensive! The one through Sonoma State, which is 10 weeks, is $800. Residency programs CAN be a good way to get a job, but man, at that cost, you'd be better off just looking...

  4. Babies and nursing school

    RunBabyRN replied to brazooke's topic in General Students

    We have waited for baby #2, because we wanted to be responsible and do it when we have the time and money to dedicate to this child. My son is 5 1/2 now, and I'm about to graduate. Once things are...

  5. If you could do one thing to get ready for Nursing School

    RunBabyRN replied to Myoclonicjerk's topic in General Students

    Figure out how you're going to manage keeping the house clean, how you'll stay healthy, how you'll eat, keep the car maintained, continue working out, etc. Time management is SO important with...

  6. how did YOU pull up your grade to a 3.0 higher (jun, seniors)

    RunBabyRN replied to Losa's topic in General Students

    Grew up. My GPA was low when I was younger. I committed myself more when I went back, older and wiser. It raised my GPA significantly. We can't retake any course with a passing

  7. How much to know before nursing?

    RunBabyRN replied to SeattleNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Different states and schools have different requirements. Here in CA, all schools require anatomy, physiology, microbiology, and chemistry, and most require statistic, English, sociology, and other...

    RunBabyRN replied to Grindaholic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just use my

  9. Hawaii Pacific University Level 1 acceptance

    RunBabyRN replied to JChristn's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks! Definitely a relief!

  10. Time management; class, family, exercise...etc

    RunBabyRN replied to Myoclonicjerk's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Scheduling your time is VITAL. I have a 5 year old as well, and am a triathlete, so I can relate to a lot of what you said. This semester, my final semester, has finally taken down my running...

  11. Study Superstitions

    RunBabyRN replied to USMCRN2015's topic in General Students

    I don't have a "tradition" or "superstition," but I do find I do better if I leave the house to study. Otherwise, I joke it's the best way to get my house cleaned.

  12. entering core nursing classes!!

    RunBabyRN replied to sistrmoon's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, I am no longer complaining about our ant problem. LOL Except it IS gross when patients find them on their newborn's

  14. Overwhelmed new nurse

    RunBabyRN replied to jrwilkes07's topic in First Year After Licensure

  15. in a rut.

    RunBabyRN replied to lauriepat's topic in General Students

    Hugs! I can understand kicking yourself for not pushing through the first time, but try not to dwell on what you can't change. Focus your energy on smoothing things out that are currently happening...

  16. After you are done with pre-reqs. Can you apply to any nursing school?

    RunBabyRN replied to wannabenurse88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So long as you meet the requirements for the school to which you apply, you're good to go. The prereqs should transfer. They'll require a

  17. Have any Community College of Beaver County nursing students taken microbiology?

    RunBabyRN replied to tlk8911's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I haven't taken it there, but I did take my micro class in 6 weeks, and it was intense but good. It was like an immersion course. I'd recommend it if you can stomach dreaming about looking through...

  18. Single Dad, Work, and School?

    RunBabyRN replied to JasonPB22's topic in General Students

    I agree with HammockBound. Look at ADN programs, which would be significantly less expensive. People DO work during nursing programs sometimes, and of course, as parents, we do what we have to do...

  19. Experience Required

    RunBabyRN replied to BidwellBetty's topic in General Students

    Have you thought about getting your CNA certification and gaining some experience that way? It's not counted as RN experience, but it does help. I have extensive patient care experience and am about...

  20. Please critique my Cover Letter been rejected too many times

    RunBabyRN replied to ICUNightAngel's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    To echo some of the other responses, your letter is extremely wordy. Keeping it concise will keep the reader from checking out and moving on to the next letter. Why should I hire YOU, out of all of...

  21. NEED HELP w/resume & cover letter

    RunBabyRN replied to tigerlilyx4's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Bear with me, as I am *almost* a new grad and I am on my phone, but I was a hiring manager in my former life. Do you have any other work experience? Don't list your skills in your cover letter. They...

  22. I need some critiques on my cover and resume.

    RunBabyRN replied to ctran's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Bear with me, as I am *almost* a new grad, and am on my phone, but I was a hiring manager in my former life. In your cover letter, you say you're bilingual. You MUST include the language, even though...

  23. HH within a private senior living community

    RunBabyRN posted a topic in Home Health

    I am about to graduate from a BSN program, and I received a call for an interview for a position within a prestigious senior living community that serves a very specific population that would be...

  24. I'm sick, but should I miss clinical?

    RunBabyRN replied to haileyjewell's topic in General Students

    I agree- don't go to clinicals, and see your

  25. Both CNA and EMT?

    RunBabyRN replied to dubmit's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would say to pick one, personally. Either one would give you great experience. If you CAN do both feasibly and work and get that experience, I suppose okay, do it, but I think you might find...
