  1. Waiting on ATT letter...

    Aedana posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    Has anyone received their ATT letter yet who graduated this

  2. Taking the NCLEX in January? Stop in here...

    Aedana replied to allthingsbright's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm taking my NCLEX January 30th (less than 1 week from now)! I'm feeling both so ready to get 'er done and also kind of worried because I started my internship and they have been making me work full...

  3. Associates or Bachelors?

    Aedana replied to mickjordmoll's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I just hung 3 bags of LR and Ancef today alone and I graduated from an ADN RN program, so I would say no. :) I believe that depending on the state's practice act, LVN/LPNs may have restrictions on...

  4. Associates or Bachelors?

    Aedana replied to mickjordmoll's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I didn't really feel ripped off when I took the ADN program. The reason why is that 1 semester of nursing school in my ADN program was 250 dollars (including fees) per semester for full time study...

  5. Hairstles for nurses???

    Aedana replied to lovetoday's topic in First Year After Licensure

    My hair is shoulder length and I always put it in a ponytail or put it back up whenever I'm working in the hospital. The reason why is that you may have to bend over a patient to do a procedure such...

  6. Waiting on ATT letter...

    Aedana replied to Aedana's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Wow, they don't let you work as GNs in IL??? What was their rationale for making that sort of change? I would personally go to my state rep and :trout: And your testing place would get a double...

  7. Waiting on ATT letter...

    Aedana replied to Aedana's topic in First Year After Licensure

    YAY!!! I finally got mine today! Our school overnighted our graduation paperwork to the state a couple of days back and I finally got that blessed letter in my inbox today! When I opened it, I...

  8. Attn Tarrant County College Dec grads...

    Aedana replied to zamboni's topic in First Year After Licensure

    As an updated, I called the board today and they said they received our affidavits today! :) However, it will be 1-10 business days before they approve us. Just

  9. Attn Tarrant County College Dec grads...

    Aedana replied to zamboni's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yeah, that was what I heard when I spoke with the nursing secretary early yesterday morning (1/2). I've been pretty lucky because the hospital I am interning at is letting me attend orientation since...

  10. Did anyone hate nursing school?

    Aedana replied to FNPhopeful's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Don't get too discouraged! :) NS is stressful and I haven't met anyone who has gone through it themselves and said otherwise. Like boot camp, it's kind of one of those experiences that makes it so...

  11. Did anyone hate nursing school?

    Aedana replied to FNPhopeful's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I personally did not "like" nursing school while I was in it. Now, I found it interesting learning about pathophysiology and interventions and I enjoyed the time I spent working with my patients, but...

  12. Waiting on ATT letter...

    Aedana replied to Aedana's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Well, I got an update on my license situation. I graduated Dec 13, and supposedly my school was going to send out our affidavits of graduation to the Texas BON the next day, according to our little...

  13. Waiting on ATT letter...

    Aedana replied to Aedana's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Whew!!! Glad to hear the letters are starting to come in. :balloons: Some of y'all are lucky to have such fast BoN's! :) I paid Pearson back in November, graduated in the state of Texas December...

  14. Associates or Bachelors?

    Aedana replied to mickjordmoll's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    In my state (Texas), the big difference between BSN and ADN programs is 3 courses in nursing school. BSNs take Management, Research, and Community Health courses, other than that, the curriculum is...

  15. Looking for history behind how RN's and LPNs developed

    Aedana replied to LPN-n-2005's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I think it's funny how even as some things change, others stay the same. Even back then, nursing shortages and man/woman power issues were a problem.

  16. Can somebody answer my questions!!!

    Aedana replied to shakshi's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Hi Shakshi, I am a new grad from an ADN program in Texas. When I went to internship fairs, etc., everyone (ADN, BSN, and a couple diploma soon-to-be grads) was offered the exact same starting salary...

  17. The most horrible things instuctor's say...

    Aedana replied to CyndieRN2007's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I feel really lucky, I've never really had any CI get in my face and really rudely try to crush my spirit. They would make the occasional offhand remark to get under my skin, but the good thing is...

  18. What are the item(s) you need most for nursing school?

    Aedana replied to rn2be2006's topic in General Students

    Here's feedback from someone just about to graduate in 2 weeks! :-) 1. Don't skimp on your 'scope! I used a really cheap stethoscope in my first semester and could not take a manual blood pressure...

  19. Soooo, you're observing in the Operating Room (O.R.)...

    Aedana replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in General Students

    Very well said, Marie. :-) I think you forgot one more rule: Always keep your sense of humor. :-) A fellow student (who works as a surgical tech) and I observed a C-Section. The nurse reviewed...

  20. Why Is Nursing School So Hard?

    Aedana replied to jphume's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm one of the Spring 06 students making my way through Foundations. I wouldn't say that school is hard, just very, very, VERY different from the pre-reqs. The first thing to adjust to is the...

  21. Roll call! who got accepted for spring 2006?

    Aedana replied to smk1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got my acceptance letter for the Spring 2006 ADN program at my school today! I am 25, single, and nursing will be my second career after working with computers for almost a decade. RN's seem to run...

  22. Nervous Spring 06 Applicant - Tarrant Cty College

    Aedana posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi all, I'm new to this bulletin board. I had a question for the TCC students out there as I'm feeling kind of nervous right now with the application time coming up soon (too soon, almost)....

    Aedana replied to Aedana's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi sunnyjohn, Thanks so much for the encouragement and advice on admission strategy. :) I'll check and see if there is an open slot in the Psych online class during Summer II that I may be able to...

    Hi Fun2Care, Wow, your website is really amazing! That's a really great idea about taking lab photos... I never would have thought to do that! :) Did you take your pictures with a standalone...
