1. Getting Frustrated

   Melody Pond replied to 2bNurseMia76's topic in General Students

   Do you have access to job fairs? I applied to several CNA jobs last year and never heard back. I went to a job fair this spring, spoke to HR reps at the same companies I'd previously applied to, and had two interviews (and a nurse tech job!) within...

2. Family issue..Thoughts?

   Melody Pond replied to jrabbit619's topic in General Students

   As some of the other posters have far more eloquently stated, you definitely are in an abusive situation and probably are codependent. I left a similar situation and have been in therapy for 5 years now to deal with the aftereffects of abuse and to ...

3. Asking professors for references

   Melody Pond replied to RookieRoo's topic in General Students

   I always ask for references from clinical instructors if I feel I did well in the clinical and we developed a good relationship during the clinical. I have both asked in person and via email. All the instructors I've asked have been happy to do so,...

4. LTC experience is worse than no experience? True/false?

   Melody Pond replied to Melody Pond's topic in Job Hunt

   Thank you all for the encouraging feedback! I'm interviewing today for the LTC internship and have decided to do that or get my LPN. I think I will learn more in a nursing role (even in LTC) than I would working as a CNA. Thanks for sharing the e...

5. LTC experience is worse than no experience? True/false?

   Melody Pond replied to Melody Pond's topic in Job Hunt

   Thanks for the feedback! To clarify - I have applied for acute internships, but have not gotten callbacks. This LTC is the only place that has gotten back to me. Is it better than to get a CNA job in acute care vs an LPN/internship position in LT...

   Hi all, I'm seven months away from graduation in my ADN program. I've been applying for nurse internship positions as I am now eligible with only one more semester to graduation. My question is: is the general conception that LTC experience is not ...

   Hahaha! Laughed out loud. Thanks for the chuckle!

8. Good grades, substandard clinical performance

   Melody Pond replied to KiggyPupPuff's topic in General Students

   Sure, borrow away. :) I pretty much borrowed word-for-word from my instructor! If you haven't already, I really encourage you to ask your teacher whether you are passing & what you can do. I don't think I would have passed if I didn't flat out...

9. Good grades, substandard clinical performance

   Melody Pond replied to KiggyPupPuff's topic in General Students

   You sound very similar to myself! I also am very good with theory and am in the top 5% of most of my classes. I do very well with exams and written assignments, but struggle in clinical. My two biggest problems are confidence and organization (sou...

10. Waukesha county technical college(wctc)

    Melody Pond replied to GodIs082010's topic in Wisconsin

    I'm a WCTC student in Level 2 (second semester). I did get in the first time I petitioned and I was also an in-progress student. I was accepted 3/4 time at first but was bumped up to full-time as people started dropping the classes. It's fun to see...
