I don't work in labor and delivery, but I was having a discussion with a couple nurses tonight about how our deliveries with our children were. . . Well I got to my story, about how the nurses were...
Also, I want to mention, it wouldn't be a big deal for me to notify the DON, or straight up tell this person myself to get lost if I wasn't so new. Again, I am very new and I would really hate to...
This is not really related to nursing, per-se, but I have just started a new job as a nurse. I mean, I have been at this job for 2 weeks tomorrow. I am already stressed to the max and questioning...
How cool is this! I didn't know TCC offered that! How does it work? Are you actually in the same classes as the TCC nursing program students or is it separate? How many levels of the program do you...
Not quite sure I understand.. Does that mean if I take the NLN tests and pass then does it waive some of the gen ed courses or what? What exactly does "advanced standing" mean and you get 30 credit...

Sorry, I guess that last post wasn't exactly encouraging! The truth is, if you want something bad enough, anything is possible. Mind over matter, right? It is hard but who said nursing school was...
I would not recommend TCC to my worst enemy. I am a level 4 nursing student at TCC, so I can tell you first hand what it is like. MOST of the instructors don't give a crap about the students. They...
Last semester in pediatrics our instructors let us do the same thing also except the group score was not YOUR score. First of all you had to have passed the test to get extra points. Then depending if...
Well, as it turns out I have accepted a position this summer as a nurse extern in cardiac telemetry and I am enjoying the experience thus far. Plus, they are building a new heart hospital, the "Heart...
