  1. Which areas in hospital least physically demanding?

    Mrs Future RN replied to TinyDancer01's topic in General Nursing

    Postpartum/Mommy Baby I have maybe 1 night a month that's crazy, but for the most part, it's not

  2. What is your favorite specialty of nursing? (ER, MedSurg, ICU, Pediatrics, etc.)

    Mrs Future RN replied to LindseyPar's topic in General Nursing

    I guess that's the advantage of living in the south. The pay isn't the best, but even as a new grad you can pick whatever specialty/shift you want, even with an ADN. My ADN class got jobs in OR, ED,...

  3. Tired of jumping jobs, does anyone like her job?

    Mrs Future RN replied to rearviewmirror's topic in General Nursing

    Mommy/Baby in a non high risk facility. I think there has been 1 code in the past six years on my floor and NICU handles the infant should something go wrong with them. Most moms are young and...

  4. Your FAVORITE job

    Mrs Future RN replied to chacha82's topic in General Nursing

    I love my job in the well baby nursery. I know a lot of places don't have these anymore, so I'm lucky to have a job in

  5. Bishop state fall '16

    Mrs Future RN replied to Teedyp25's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Are you sure you're thinking of the right school. Bishop had some troubles maybe 10 years ago, but their NCLEX pass rate is 3rd in our area. They had a better pass rate then South Alabama and...

  6. Bishop state fall '16

    Mrs Future RN replied to Teedyp25's topic in Alabama Nursing

    I'm in my last semester. Don't know what the cutoff was. I had 185 points. I know some had around 150, but it really depends on how many people are applying. This was for the spring, so the cutoff was...

  7. Bishop state fall '16

    Mrs Future RN replied to Teedyp25's topic in Alabama Nursing

    I believe you have to take the ACT

  8. How to Survive Your First Semester of Nursing School: Things I Wish People Had Told Me

    Mrs Future RN replied to createddaisy's topic in General Students

    I'm going into my final semester with 2 children (5 & 7). My best advice is to make sure you have backup babysitters, errand runners, and support. Schedule your study time at a time when you know...

  9. When are you going to get your NP?

    Mrs Future RN replied to LPNtoRNin2016OH's topic in General Students

    Oh my, this just reminded me of earlier this semester when I was in clinical with my instructor (MSN) and an old coworker of hers asked her when she was going back for her doctorates. I didn't think...

  10. Nursing Students - How often do you complain to your significant other?

    Mrs Future RN replied to 757RN's topic in General Students

    AGREED X100 with the previous post. I learned half way through the first semester that only your classmates or previous nursing students truly know what you're going through. My husband is a college...

  11. Faulkner State Community College

    Mrs Future RN replied to Deer2013's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Hahaha, I'm close by the airport, so about 46 miles each way. The problem with Mobile is that it's becoming very time consuming to get from West Mobile to the interstate. I know a few people who live...

  12. Faulkner State Community College

    Mrs Future RN replied to Deer2013's topic in Alabama Nursing

    It states: Minimum GPA of 2.75 in all pre-requisite courses Minimum University GPA of 2.5 I didn't even have the minimum university GPA . I played around back then, but I think things still worked...

  13. Faulkner State Community College

    Mrs Future RN replied to Deer2013's topic in Alabama Nursing

    I would have rather done South, but I knew my GPA from years ago would have kept me from getting in. Faulkner would have been my second choice (I actually got into the program), but the commute was an...

  14. Faulkner State Community College

    Mrs Future RN replied to Deer2013's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Bishop has such a low retention rate going from 1st to 2nd block. Only 7 of the 34 students that was in our 1st block of courses made it to the 2nd, by 3rd block there were only 4 of us from our...

  15. Faulkner State Community College

    Mrs Future RN replied to Deer2013's topic in Alabama Nursing

    I'm in my first semester now. From what I heard (nurses in my family and friends), ASN don't have a problem finding jobs in our area. The hardest place to get hired would be USA hospitals, but even...

  16. Thinking about going back to school

    Mrs Future RN replied to michelle70's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It really depends on your school. Most of our local colleges have recently begun to not require students to retake their prerequisite

  17. Faulkner State Community College

    Mrs Future RN replied to Deer2013's topic in Alabama Nursing

    I've been told that 175 -180 was usually the cutoff for getting in. I've never heard of someone with over 200 points not getting in, unless it was for other reasons. I was about to apply there for the...

  18. 3M Littman Classic III

    Mrs Future RN replied to tbren's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I'm in the same boat. I decided to take the gamble and try the III. I've been trying to choose between the Classic and the Cardiology for the past month, but I think the Classic will be enough for...

  19. Bishop State Spring 2015

    Mrs Future RN posted a topic in Alabama Nursing

    Anyone here applied for the Spring semester at Bishop State? Anyone who has been through or going through their program have any tips, warnings or words of

  20. Bishop State Spring 2015

    Mrs Future RN replied to Mrs Future RN's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Thanks again for the tips. Orientation was good. I just feel like they gloss over a lot of things that are going to hit people hard in the program. I'm so nervous, their graduation rate for the...

  21. Bishop State Spring 2015

    Mrs Future RN replied to Mrs Future RN's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Congrats on making it through the first semester. Thanks for the tips, our orientation is next week. I’ve already got all of the immunizations and paperwork done as I hate waiting to the last...

  22. Excited about starting nursing school this spring

    Mrs Future RN replied to dannygurl84's topic in General Students

    I'm 33 also, starting in January. I'm so nervous. Our program has a really high drop out rate, so I'm just striving not to be a statistic. I've been sitting in an accounting office for the past 10...

  23. How hard is A&P really?

    Mrs Future RN replied to crazyemtchic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In my opinion, the lab tests/practicals are all about memorization. The class exams are all about application. I find you need to have good reading comprehension along with the memorization. Your...

  24. Anatomy & Physiology prereq

    Mrs Future RN replied to KatieColorado's topic in General Students

    I read that page also. I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure they’re meaning combined semester hours (quite a few colleges actually state this). They’re trying to stop people from the argument...

  25. Anatomy & Physiology prereq

    Mrs Future RN replied to KatieColorado's topic in General Students

    I'm not reading it as A&P I&II must be 6 hours each. They separate out their A&P so you take a class of Anatomy and a class of Physiology. If you choose to transfer in with the combination...
