  3. ADN to BSN vs. ABSN -- experience of recent grads?

    nt2002 posted a topic in Oregon Nursing

    Hi everyone -- I'm just starting my pre-requisites so I know it's super early for me to worry about this, and, the reality is, I would go with whatever nursing program accepted me . . . . Still, as an...

  4. Nurse Residency Programs in Houston- Need advice on offers

    nt2002 replied to kcolver's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I don't know anything about the hospitals, but high stress/high learning curve 1st position, plus hour & half commute plus young children equals greater possibility of burnout. What about the...

  5. I failed a prereq

    nt2002 replied to delonghi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  7. Help Please!! Withdraw from A&P??

    nt2002 replied to safia_007's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If the school(s) you want to apply to will use your highest or most recent grade if you retake the class and if it's too late to get your money back, I'd stick out the class and just do your darnest...

  8. Please help....

    nt2002 replied to Kat091177's topic in Nursing Career

    That's a tough choice. I would first take location out of the equation and ask yourself which job do you feel more drawn to, which fits better in terms of your overall career goals (sounds like the...

  9. Trying to get out of Home Care and into a hospital

    nt2002 replied to HLC814's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'm not even a nursing student yet but a couple general things leapt out for me. If you do decide to put your clinical experience on your resume (and my understanding is that people on AN have...

  10. Portland Nursing Programs and Volunteer

    nt2002 replied to xkgbx's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Sent you a PM. Also, you can try hospices -- Medicaid mandates that a certain amount of a hospice provider's services are provided by volunteers. You have to go through a pretty lenghty training that...

  11. How do you deal with dementia residents?

    nt2002 replied to godlycreations's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    This is a lovely post and wonderfully written. Thanks! When I started reading and came to the part about you having to take your "dreaded" job I thought this was going to be a negative rant about...

  12. Ortho nurse vs Neuro nurse?

    nt2002 replied to 123jane's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    It seems weird to me that the neuro training is THAT much shorter. Personally, if this was my first job, I would go with the one that offers the longer training period. (BTW, I'm even a not even a...

  13. Going back to nursing school

    nt2002 replied to tas026's topic in General Students

    You might want to take a year off after you get your degree -- maybe work in a health-related field and/or volunteer with a hospital or hospice or something similar just to make sure that you really...

  14. How long do I wait for a response after my interview with the unit staff?

    nt2002 replied to jodibeydoun's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Call HR. If no response in a couple of days after you call HR ( I'm assuming you'll go to voice mail) then I would call or email the nurse manager and say that on your last conversation she told you...

  15. I can't believe this just happened!!!

    nt2002 replied to stunurse2015's topic in General Students

    Very cool! I would maybe follow up with an email in a few days reminding him off the interaction, thanking him for the contact info and letting him know that when you graduate on X date you plan to...

  16. How to explain reasons for leaving?

    nt2002 replied to afterseason's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Congratulations!!!

  18. Hospital Scholarship?

    nt2002 replied to GingerRN17's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In this job market and since you already know what the hospital is like and since you think want to be there long term anyway once you become an RN, I don't see a downside to getting more than half...

    nt2002 replied to garzparz's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Not sure about your area, but here (in pacific NW), you can do your prerequisites at community colleges which offer evening and online classes. None of the ADN or BSN programs here offer evening...
