  1. Community vs Private school

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

    Unless your dad is willing to pay for the private school, I'd stay away. It's not worth $100K+ in debt!! Sometimes scholarships are available. Make sure the school is accredited, and any reputable...

  2. All of the classes I need are full!!

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

    Wait lists, crashing classes, you need to get in there. Do you have any kind of priority registration? Find out how you can bump up your priority. This is a common problem, as nursing prereqs fill...

  3. Malpractice insurance

    RunBabyRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Finally earned GN status (yay!), and waiting for CA to get their you-know-what together so I can take my boards, but I wanted to start shopping for malpractice insurance. I'll do some research on...

  4. Malpractice insurance

    RunBabyRN replied to RunBabyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks you guys for the input! I definitely feel like it's a small cost for peace of mind, and I certainly hope to never need it, but I'd rather have it in case I

  5. Where can I take organic chem and nutrition online over the summer?

    RunBabyRN replied to KS01's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Chem may require a lab, but you could probably do

  6. Nursing Workshop

    RunBabyRN replied to FutureNurse619's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm guessing a lot of your questions will be answered automatically, but take something to write on, and jot down questions as they come up. It's always good to know the NCLEX pass rate, what to...

  7. NCLEX Prep Help

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

    Have you perused this forum yet? There are a lot of posts with exactly this info. FWIW, I think trying to cover EVERYTHING is a setup for disaster. You're better off scanning everything just to have...

  8. ATI vs NCLEX

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

    Agreed. We just took the Kaplan class, and I really liked it. I like the Content Review Guide, and that I can really hone in on what I need to know, and that the class was more about strategies and...

  9. A (hopefully) zen thought on the Pearson Vue Trick

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

    Congratulations!! I may take your advice here. I have an offer waiting for me once I'm licensed, but I'd be mortified if I notified the NM that the PVT said I'd passed, only to hear otherwise in the...

  10. Should I ditch the pinning ceremony for a possible job?

    RunBabyRN replied to bella14k's topic in General Students

    It was really neat getting to see my favorite instructors and have them kind of send us off into the world. The one who emceed had a really nice speech that totally made me tear

    RunBabyRN replied to bella14k's topic in General Students

    If you use the quote button, we know to whom your response is intended. :) Makes threads like this easier to

  12. Do you think this schedule/routine will work?

    RunBabyRN replied to MedicalPartisan's topic in General Students

    I would call this tentative, and re-evaluate as you need. I found I needed more time than that, in general, but it really varies each semester, and really, every week. Exam weeks will obviously...

  13. Visible piercings not allowed, but what about...

    RunBabyRN replied to aspiring.nurse's topic in General Nursing

    You'd need to see the policy where you're headed. I'm waiting to get my nose re-pierced until I see the policy where I have an offer. When I had to take it out for every shift at my old job, it...

  14. Just received a A D+ in psychology

    RunBabyRN replied to Cristian C's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, yes, and more yes. The professor is

  15. Just received a A D+ in psychology

    RunBabyRN replied to Cristian C's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Definitely retake the class. I have a couple of repeats because I tried to take too many classes at once while working (yeah, hard lesson there!). I just had my pinning tonight, and graduate...

  16. How hard is your nursing school?

    RunBabyRN replied to EternalFeather's topic in General Students

    It's hard in nursing school for sure. We're all so used to getting (and working hard for) As, then nursing school comes along and kicks us in the butt! No more of those pretty As!! (or if we do get...

  17. Should I ditch the pinning ceremony for a possible job?

    RunBabyRN replied to bella14k's topic in General Students

    I think those are great questions to ask when you call HR. Do you have any desire to work where you did your clinicals? Have you made any connections there? I'm not kidding about weird connections...

  18. What courses count towards your science gpa?

    RunBabyRN replied to mily28's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have you looked at their website? Most schools have all of this stuff available

  19. Nursing Workshop

    RunBabyRN replied to FutureNurse619's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What kind of workshop? Is it with a hospital, college,

  20. Need help to find a mentor for my mentroship. Please help!

    RunBabyRN replied to NurseSand's topic in California Nursing

    I agree. I would start making rounds with nurse managers on units you like and see what happens. That's how I ended up precepting where I wanted, and now I have a job offer there for when I'm...

  21. Hopeful SSU nursing student for Fall 2014

    RunBabyRN replied to meib92's topic in California Nursing

    We just had our pinning tonight, and I wanted to share a little taste of what you have to look forward to! Motivation! Earn that

  22. Should I ditch the pinning ceremony for a possible job?

    RunBabyRN replied to bella14k's topic in General Students

    I've been very disappointed with job fairs and open houses, in general. I agree about connections- post it EVERYWHERE that you're searching. You never know who knows someone who's best friends with...

  23. Choosing which hospital for clinicals?

    RunBabyRN replied to alexamasan's topic in General Students

    I agree with the above criteria- teaching hospital, location, and where you want to work, not necessarily in that order. I know that when we put in for preceptorship, I avoided one of the local...

  24. gift for new grad

    RunBabyRN replied to NurseSN45696's topic in General Students

    Gift card for scrubs? Starbucks

  25. IM A GN

    RunBabyRN replied to momtojosh's topic in General Students

    Yay, congrats! My pinning is tonight as well! Itching to take my boards as well... There's been a big delay in CA, so I'm hoping they've knocked that down a bit. Study
