  1. Certificates, CE, training classes to up my chances of a job?

    RunBabyRN replied to tsm007's topic in Ob/Gyn

    NRP, STABLE, ACLS, and AWHONN fetal monitoring courses are the ways to go, as far as certs. Different managers have different perspectives on these certs with new grads. For example, I had an...

  2. What to do to prepare for PP practicum?

    RunBabyRN replied to allycat77's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I precepted in PP as well. There have been a few threads posted in here with advice, and I've responded to them at length, so do a little digging, and you'll see some good threads. I used a brain...

  3. NCLEX Today

    RunBabyRN replied to kawaiibows's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I was CERTAIN I'd failed when it shut off at 75 Qs. I was SOOO grateful when my license number posted on the CA-BRN's website less than 48 hours later! :) Don't psych yourself out. Breathe, maybe...

  4. NCLEX Today

    RunBabyRN replied to kawaiibows's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Go eat something, have some tea to calm down, go for a walk to get out some of that nervous energy. Good

  5. Pearson Vue Trick 2014

    RunBabyRN replied to Mandy,GN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    That's probably what's up, then. It'll be on hold until they double check

  6. When should you start studying for NCLEX-RN exam???

    RunBabyRN replied to bullinsl5725's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I graduated in May and started some studying in March or so. I got my authorization to test June 13 and tested the 18th, licensed the

  7. Shoe recs for clinicals

    RunBabyRN replied to poopylala's topic in General Students

    Usually no clogs refers to no open backed clogs. If you can, Danksos or Sanitas are very comfortable (break them in first!), but definitely clarify with your nursing department before you spend the...

  8. Need advice about City College nursing program

    RunBabyRN replied to paramedic90's topic in School, College Programs

    Would it be less expensive to pay for child care and lower tuition than for expensive private school tuition? It might be something worth pricing out. Are there any 2 year BSN programs in your area?...

  9. Aspiring nursing student .. Please help :/

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

    You'll have to look at programs in your area to see what grades cut it. They changed my school to requiring a B in chem around the time I applied with my C (thankfully I was able to get in). Even...

  10. Choosing OB Nursing Positions

    RunBabyRN replied to Pink Magnolia's topic in Ob/Gyn

    See what gets offered. The way the market is, there are a lot more applicants than there are positions. Many places prefer to start new grads in PP then move you to L&D, but see what's out

  11. Interview for Family Birthing Center

    RunBabyRN replied to AJEMRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Welcome to AN! There should be a ton of posts on this topic if you peruse the forum. Also, a friendly heads up, you may want to remove your name from your post. This is a very public forum, and...

  12. Online vs. Classroom/Hybrid

    RunBabyRN replied to hahcna's topic in General Students

    Our program did sort of a hybrid. I wish some of the classes had been online, as we had one or two instructors who basically just read off of the PowerPoints and wasted the rest of the time talking...

  13. Nursing school mean clinical instructors

    RunBabyRN replied to Gigi143's topic in General Students

    Have you tried speaking with the program director? That might be a good first

  14. How has walking into HR worked out for you?

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

    It's so frustrating. Even the non-new grad positions at this place say one year of experience is PREFERRED, not REQUIRED, but nothing will get forwarded. I finally spoke with her yesterday, and...

  15. Should I put bar experience on my resume?

    RunBabyRN replied to dee789's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I think it depends on your other work experience, and if it's necessary. You can word it right to show that you have experience in customer service, a fast-paced work environment, a physically...

  16. Best Option for Older Transfer Student

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

    First, remove your name from your post. With this being a very public forum, it's important to protect yourself. Next, to answer your questions, 1. I think it's possible. For prereqs, you can often...

  17. Good private schools to attend in California for nursing.

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

    I would suggest still applying to the CSUs. Worst that happens is you don't get in, but if you don't apply, you definitely won't get in. How are your GPA, prereqs and TEAS score? Remember that each...

  18. Convincing the manager to take a chance on a new grad

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

    I e-mailed the manager from location #2 a couple of weeks ago, and finally heard from her this week. Right now we're playing phone tag, but I hope to speak with her tomorrow. If she gives me an...

  19. Convincing the manager to take a chance on a new grad

    RunBabyRN posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    There is a position in LDRP (my DDRRRRREEEEEEEAAAAAAAMMMM!) at a local hospital. One of my infusion patients works there, and she's been talking me up to the manager. Aside from my lack of acute...

  20. How has walking into HR worked out for you?

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

    Well, I went ahead and e-mailed that manager a day or two after I posted about it (the one that wasn't there when I'd stopped by), and I received a call from her the other day. Of course I had just...

  21. CA RN by Reciprocity Applicant-timelines and is anyone getting a temp license?

    RunBabyRN replied to BSN Offbeat's topic in California Nursing

    I think if you look at your status in BreEZe, you can see when they cashed your check. I'm trying to remember. I also haven't had to go the endorsement route, only the new grad route, so I'm only so...

  22. Some of Us Are Trying to Help You...

    RunBabyRN replied to Music in My Heart's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    LOL! Not true, necessarily, but funny. Remember that the instructor usually checks in with the

  23. Words of encouragement?

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

    I think a certain amount of it is normal, but do you feel like it's interfering with your life? Do you have good coping skills and stress management? Few of us walk into an exam for a nursing prereq...

  24. Don't know if nursing is right for me

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

    Nursing isn't for everyone, but don't let people venting on a forum dissuade you. We all have rough days and want to air things out somewhere for people who "get it." This site serves that purpose...

  25. Best West Coast BSN Programs?

    RunBabyRN replied to Smwright19's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Private schools do not automatically equate to a better education. I've seen some of the students from the local private universities. They definitely vary, and the nurses complained A LOT about...
