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

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

    No word yet. I'll keep you posted! Another lead from a friend yesterday... I have a few connections where she is, and this hospital would seriously be my DREAM, as in, I would potentially spend my...

  2. New grads & Job Offer: When to settle

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

    The training was something I asked about when I interviewed. I refuse to work at a SNF that throws you on the floor way before you're ready. My first shift is coming Sunday, and I still don't feel...

  3. Donating unwanted medical supplies

    RunBabyRN replied to RunBabyRN's topic in Home Health

    I didn't even think about nursing schools. I should ask one of my old instructors. I know some of the stuff we never covered in lab, but maybe having the equipment will allow for the

  4. Volunteering at a school?!?!?

    RunBabyRN replied to natmanzo's topic in General Students

    Don't get worked up until you hear it from the horse's mouth. Shoot an email to your nursing department if you really want to know for sure, or wait until they bring it up in class. People say all...

  5. Needlestick Injury d/t careless error. Seriously rethinking if I'm cut out for this.

    RunBabyRN replied to smaritania47's topic in General Students

    You're human, and you made a mistake. This is by no means a sign that you can't hack it as a nurse, it means you've developed a bad habit due to lack of supplies in the lab. Work to break the habit,...

  6. maternal & child

    RunBabyRN replied to heart of care's topic in General Students

    What do YOU think? We are happy to help, but we won't do your homework for you. Think it out, and share what you come up

  7. When a Mom Miscarries

    RunBabyRN replied to CountryMomma's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm so sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Miscarriage is difficult, no matter the situation. Even when it's a relief, as mine was at about 6 weeks along, there is...

  8. Which path should I take to become a BSN?

    RunBabyRN replied to eharrison821's topic in California Nursing

    Was this a nursing counselor, or general school counselor? I say apply to any CSU you can feasibly attend, along with ADN programs. See what works out. You have a good GPA and great prereq GPA....

  9. Question about repeating nursing prereqs, transfer student

    RunBabyRN replied to mango910's topic in California Nursing

    Are you able to consider other CSUs, or do you need to stay close to home? I know Sonoma State (where I attended) doesn't care about repeats. I can't remember SFSU or CSUEB's policies. Do some...

  10. Clumsy and nervous!

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

    Absolutely! Finding ways to relax and manage your stress will help you SOOO much through nursing school. Another thing to remember is that tasks you can learn on the job, but the material is the most...

  11. Best way to read text books

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

    You won't have time for this in nursing school. The volume of reading is SO much more than for any other class I've ever taken, and no one I know has ever actually completed ALL of the reading for...

  12. Tips for Studying

    RunBabyRN replied to May110's topic in General Students

    Not a stupid question at all! I do feel that the blood flow to my brain really helped, and it kept me from getting that itchy, "I NEED TO GET OFF MY BUTT NOOOOOOOWWWWWW" feeling while trying to...

  13. Practicality of BSN + MPH degree?

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

    Do you plan to be a public health nurse? What kind of nursing do you want to

  14. Sub Par Grades? Do I have a chance?

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

    Or even e-mail them and ask. I had to do this with a couple of programs, and they were always good about getting back to

  15. recommendation letters

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

    Why would they offer to write you a letter of recommendation if they didn't like you? I think you're overthinking this and worrying too much. Do you even need any letters of recommendation for...

  16. Tips for Studying

    RunBabyRN replied to May110's topic in General Students

    I had to leave the house. I joked that studying at home is the best way to get my dishes and laundry done. I usually went to Starbucks or the library, and I took everything I needed with me....

  17. New grad, no job: RN-BSN assignment frustration

    RunBabyRN replied to JustAdmitToObs's topic in General Students

    Most people have some clinical experience by the time they enter a bridge program. With the job market the way it is, going straight into one of these programs may be harder for you, and you're...

  18. Question about repeating nursing prereqs, transfer student

    RunBabyRN replied to mango910's topic in California Nursing

    You'll have to look at the different programs. In my experience, the CSUs don't seem to care too much about repeats, but they may or may not factor your old grades into your prereq GPA. My best...

  19. How Does an RN make more in Sacramento than San Diego????

    RunBabyRN replied to Scarpydooooo's topic in California Nursing

    The Kaiser new grad program I interviewed for in the Sacramento area started at $69.10 an

  20. Need Advice on Clinical Instructor

    RunBabyRN replied to hardworkinmom's topic in General Students

    I think this is exactly why she's letting you work on your own. Once an instructor knows you'll ask for help when you need it and can handle being on your own, they'll shift their focus more on the...

  21. Made my first "Nursing" connection

    RunBabyRN replied to RavensNation's topic in General Students

    Yay!! It's so validating when you realize you are starting to think as a nurse!

  22. Need help coping with death of a loved one while in nursing school

    RunBabyRN replied to lobatse's topic in General Students

    Good luck speaking with the dean. I agree that you should go. Things like this, nursing schools are generally willing to bend the rules. Life doesn't stop just because we're in nursing school. I'm...

  23. Sub Par Grades? Do I have a chance?

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

    Before you retake any classes, look at the repeat policies at schools. They will vary. Some don't care, some do, some will factor in the old grades, some won't. You may want to look at programs with...

  24. Traditional BSN or Accelerated!?

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

    I would probably go with the first one. Are you pretty certain you'd be able to get into that program? It's usually smart to apply to multiple programs. If you're only in your third year, there's...

  25. Confused

    RunBabyRN replied to Prosperity84's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Any program without prereqs triggers major red flags. I would strongly suggest avoiding any tech schools/career colleges. Most of their stuff isn't transferable, should you choose to further your...
