Hello! I am in my last semester of nursing school and I am starting to look for prospective jobs. I currently work as a "Student Nurse" at a local hospital, which is essentially a CNA position. Some managers and directors have asked when I graduate ...

Hello, I thought I would add some confidence to anyone out there with scores on the lower end. I scored a 61% on my first self assessment and a 60% on my second. Both of these scores warranted a "Highly Likely" to pass the NLCEX on the first try. I ...

Take time for yourself! This was the hardest lesson for me to learn, but I started getting burnt out after two months, so it was necessary. Don't hold back. You may be unsure of yourself, especially in the beginning, you will be amazed at what you k...

If it's been a while, review A&P, but mostly pathophysiology. BUT DO THIS MINIMALLY! Enjoy your free time now while you still have some! I wish that I would have enjoyed my time before classes started more. Congratulations and enjoy this victory!

I got this advice from senior Nursing students in my program, "if you can read the chapter, great, but make sure you READ THE BOXES AND TABLES even if you don't have time for the whole chapter!" They have all said that undoubtedly, there are question...

I was thinking the same thing. If we already have them loaded in medical records and they have a copy then we shouldn't have to pay anymore. I feel petty about it as well, but at the same time... Really? I've spent so much money and we haven't even s...

Certified profile is finally available! But for an additional $35 dollars. Does that seem crazy to anyone else, or just me?

Thank you, I was going to buy all of those things, so now I know to hold off! I appreciate your help!

Thank you for all the information! Is there anything that they do not provide that we will need to purchase? Like the bandage scissors and storage clipboard? The kit seems great, but I just want to be prepared when the day comes :) Thanks again!

I just checked in with an advisor and they said they do not know when the orientation will be available and that they are still working on correcting any errors with the certified profile. We may know more next week.

Spoke to Charlotte Nursing advisor. She said that we need to get the influenza shot when it is in season (Sept-Nov) until then we may not find any. The hospitals usually require and they will check up on us closer to the season for the shots. Yes, it...

I asked my doctor about it too. He said it's not in season so they don't have one :/

Where does it say we have to get an influenza shot?

So excited for this semester!

I bought leather Reebok classics. They were really affordable and got great reviews!

I agree, but when I got accepted into the program they changed my major from Pre-Nursing to Non-degree seeking, so some people may get into trouble. It just helps to make r the call and know for sure

FOR THOSE LOOKING TO APPLY FOR AA!! Please talk to advising and financial aid before you apply! I applied for mine got my AA but now my financial aid is messed up bc it looks like I have a degree and am leaving school when I have two more years left ...

I spoke to the nursing advisor at Charlotte that said just because there is the documented infection doesn't mean that we would be immune and they require the titer. I'm just not taking any chances of not getting in come August, so I'm doing them all...

The ones that I saw at my location did not qualify for what fsw wants. They were all the clog type.

The hamiltons location I went to had some that looked like they could be tried out, but I didn't ask specifically.

It's not quite a physical, so I'm not sure what to ask for when I call places. They don't want many of the tasks performed in a basic physical, but the health dept near me says they don't have a physician who can sign it? I'm hoping that I can go and...

I know it's a lot, but they have to play it safe. Vent away. I'm still excited over the discount on clinical scrubs!

How much are the vaccines and titers there? The health dept near me is $25 per titer and the hep A & B are $60 each

FSW Nursing program gets 25% off at Hamilton's! The manager also said it takes about 2-3 weeks processing. Just wanted to let everyone know who didn't that we get the special pricing!

They said they will email us when our major's have changed, I'm assuming that won't be until at least after July 9th since one of the forms due by then is the change of major request form lol. The polo's and white or khaki pants are definitely for le...
