   Hi there ! I’ve been working as a school nurse since April but it’s all been “virtual”. What that has consisted of: working with the local food bank to coordinate getting food to needy families, watching webinars, reading educational articles and lit...

   lissy1214 replied to lissy1214's topic in School

   Thank you to everyone who responded ! I read each of your responses and greatly appreciated them. I started my new job as a school nurse this week (virtually of course). It’s got to be the weirdest time/way to start a new job but I’m trying to figure...

   lissy1214 posted a topic in PICU

   Hey fellow nurses ������ I'm an RN with almost 3 years of experience, currently working in a PICU. While I've enjoyed different elements of working in the PICU, my favorite part of my job is working with the pediatric oncology patients (I...

6. BSN Student, should i get my CNA?

   lissy1214 replied to mariaferna's topic in General Students

7. Jobs: Nursing Tutor or PCA

   lissy1214 replied to Christinajoannne's topic in General Students

   Also, your academic excellence will be reflected in your GPA and potentially, in your induction to honor societies such as Sigma Theta Tau. Don't feel as though you need the tutoring position to prove your academic achievements.

8. Jobs: Nursing Tutor or PCA

   lissy1214 replied to Christinajoannne's topic in General Students

   Hi :) Both positions have merit and would look good on a resume. However, hands-on clinical experience is so, so valuable. If you are able to find a PCA job, I think it would be in your best interest to take that. When you graduate and begin applying...

    lissy1214 replied to lissy1214's topic in Pediatric

    No, I am not a PCT at CHOP. On the CHOP website, it says that they accept new graduates / entry level RNs once a year and that the application for that will be available at the end of August. Hm, I will definitely be sure to stalk their website in A...

12. Nursing Student Looking for Niche in Nursing World

    lissy1214 replied to lissy1214's topic in General Students

    While I would have to agree with you that nursing isn't a great profession for me (it's something I've known since joining the program unfortunately), I feel there's got to be something within the nursing world I'd enjoy. I think it ultimately makes ...
