  2. VA Palo Alto Fall 2014

    RunBabyRN replied to boots88's topic in California Nursing

    I applied as well. Good luck everyone!

  3. I dread going to work :(

    RunBabyRN replied to MrsICURN14's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think many new grads, especially in hospital positions, feel like they don't know what they're doing. Have you considered applying for other positions? I'm sure you know there are many avenues...

  4. Nursing newbie: Nursing education and work settings

    RunBabyRN replied to Nursing Padawan's topic in First Year After Licensure

    No worries! I'm sure there are some that got it, others (like myself) that didn't. :) Nursing is definitely flexible, and the more flexible YOU can be, especially early in your career, the better....

  5. New RN, education suggestions please!!

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

    NRP= neonatal resuscitative program. If you're not getting into these areas, as HouTx said, no need, but look at the populations with which you may be working. What area of nursing are you trying to...

  6. Road to success

    RunBabyRN replied to procrastinator911's topic in Pediatric

  8. I cannot find a job!!!!!!! HELP

    RunBabyRN replied to ajohn131's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  9. Help: Applying for BSN program

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

    Former HM myself! 0000, not 8404, though. To answer your Qs: 1. Check out the HESI forum. Tons of great info here. 2. Research programs to see if volunteer experience counts for you or not. Each...

  10. Should I just give up?

    RunBabyRN replied to lynnj00's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Stop beating yourself up. Plenty of us have had to work to improve our GPAs in order to get into school. Do you feel like you can go and improve your GPA now? If not, it might be good to take some...

  11. Veteran to BSN programs

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

    Wow! That's very interesting! I'd have loved to have had a program dedicated to that sort of thing, where I could have drawn more upon my HM experience. Luckily, my instructors were great about...

  12. clinic to er nursing?

    RunBabyRN replied to hawksrn2014's topic in Emergency

    Any particular reason you're waiting a year to even apply? Look for new grad positions now! :) It'll probably be easier to get into one of these now instead of when you're an "old new grad", even...

  13. Questions about what counts as overall GPA.

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

    If that's the case, don't stress about it. Probably won't be calculated in. Are you looking at a CSU program? If so, they won't even look at

  14. Veteran to BSN programs

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

    I've never heard of this, personally. I just know some programs have a vet preference (which varies as to what the preference is). What is this, exactly? Is it 100% vets in the

  15. NCLEX Eligibility For GA

    RunBabyRN replied to Ty2016's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Why on earth are you doing a double major?? Nursing school is hard enough, especially if you failed first semester, as you stated in your other post. Drop the management degree for now to focus on...

  16. Newlywed starting nursing school

    RunBabyRN replied to studentnursemon86's topic in General Students

    Make your time together count. Even if you aren't working, you will find that your time with your SO is limited, because you also need to study, meet with a group for a project, SLEEP, etc. Think of...

  17. What if?

    RunBabyRN replied to NaCl-ty's topic in General Students

    Yup, sounds about right. LOL I think most of us go home and wonder sometimes about whether we did everything we needed to do for Mr. Jones or if we should have given him that beta blocker or if we...

  18. Is it normal to not know your clinical location until the first day of class..

    RunBabyRN replied to Kandake's topic in General Students

    We didn't know until after the first day of school. I think we knew in the first week or two, and then we had to do all of the competency stuff the hospital requires and get badges and logins and...

    RunBabyRN replied to Amber Lamps's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Woot woot!

  20. Questions about what counts as overall GPA.

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

    Make sure you know which of your courses are transferable and which are not when you calculate your GPA. My overall was lower when I took out the non-transferable courses, which were the only ones...

  21. I want to be a nurse but I'm not huge on western medicine?

    RunBabyRN replied to humboldt13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Depending on where you go in CO, you may find there are a variety of holistic providers. I'm in CA, in a pretty hippie-dippy town, and we have a great DO who does adjustments and explores alternative...

  22. Does it matter where you get your nursing degree from?

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

    Alma mater doesn't matter in nursing the same way it does in, say, law or business. That said, if you attend a tech school or some non-accredited program, you'll have big problems ahead of you,...

  23. whats your plan B

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

    My plan B? Wait until next year and apply again. Plan B it was.

  24. I'm a newbie needing your advice!

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

    Welcome to AN! If you're still 2 years away from your bachelor's, and you don't want to pursue math, don't waste any more money and time on private university tuition on a degree you don't want. If...

  25. Nursing newbie: Nursing education and work settings

    RunBabyRN replied to Nursing Padawan's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Welcome to AN! First, I would change your screen name. You can't have "nurse" or "RN" until you've passed the NCLEX. To answer your questions: Yes, I have my BSN. What kind of degree you want/need...
