  1. New grad NICU nurse

    sweetsthrnsass posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Hi guys! So I was offered (and accepted) a job in a 118 bed Level IV NICU as a new grad in a large teaching hospital. Hello, dream job! I graduate in May and will start sometime in late June or early...

  2. Memorial Hermann Summer 2016 Residency

    sweetsthrnsass replied to ms.simone's topic in Texas Nursing

    I think if you didn't get a second Children's NICU interview on the first Match Day, then you're out. Not sure they'll contact everyone that didn't get a second interview

  3. Clinical classmates hate me

    sweetsthrnsass replied to emilylizj's topic in General Students

    And also, don't worry about the nurses. They will see your actions and knowledge, and write those girls off. It happens to the best of us.

  4. Clinical classmates hate me

    sweetsthrnsass replied to emilylizj's topic in General Students

    I feel like one of the biggest issues here is that your classmates are speaking negatively about you in front of your professor. Don't get me wrong, they shouldn't be treating you like that, but your...

  5. Clipping nails at nurse's station

    sweetsthrnsass replied to BillieP's topic in General Nursing

    Lol I'm not okay with farting either! But definitely not morally outraged. Just super disgusted with it all

  6. I feel like nursing school didn't prepare me for work

    sweetsthrnsass replied to Gem1984's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I meant there wasn't enough space for all the nursing students so shifts were being cut in half or shortened. The newer classes haven't even made it into the hospital yet. And I'm not sure why I've...

  7. Anyone Attended a Night RN Program with a Newborn?

    sweetsthrnsass replied to peachshan's topic in General Students

    My best friend had a baby in the middle of nursing school (full time) with a four year old as well. She didn't have family close by, just her husband and me. It's totally

  8. New Nurse feeling very down

    sweetsthrnsass replied to RNthenDoc's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    Lol sorry I should clarify. I'm not exhausted right away, just towards the late afternoon. Which I guess is normal but maybe it just takes some getting used to. Maybe I can compromise with yoga in my...

  9. New grad NICU nurse

    sweetsthrnsass replied to sweetsthrnsass's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    It's an extremely competitive speciality! I'm certain ms.simone can agree since we just both got hired together at Children's Memorial Hermann in Houston. There's a lot of great hospitals for NICU in...

  10. New Nurse feeling very down

    sweetsthrnsass replied to RNthenDoc's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    In a probably extremely unrelated note: I have dealt with difficult preceptors in the past (in nursing school) and you mentioned yoga/gym before work. HOW DO PEOPLE DO THIS PLEASE TELL ME. Like I've...

  11. I feel like nursing school didn't prepare me for work

    sweetsthrnsass replied to Gem1984's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Just to clarify, are you talking about practicing skills in a lab or real patients? I had so many opportunities to start IVs and insert foleys and then some on real patients and the hospitals in my...

  12. L&D nurses in Austin

    sweetsthrnsass replied to Katie71275's topic in Texas Nursing

    I am from Austin and don't have kids, but have only heard good things about the hospitals there! The ones that come to mind, and I highly recommend you looking into further, are Seton, St. David's,...

  13. New grad NICU nurse

    sweetsthrnsass replied to sweetsthrnsass's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Thanks for your response, Linda. I've looked into other certifications and plan to become STABLE certified, but am curious on your (or anyone's) opinion regarding CCRN or RNC. Which is better or more...

  14. Male student nurse interviewing for Postpartum..

    sweetsthrnsass replied to kingvonnBSN2017's topic in Ob/Gyn

    While I personally wouldn't be comfortable with a male postpartum nurse OR a male OB/GYN, I am so excited for you! You definitely seem passionate and that will really show through to your patients....

  15. Who is finding nursing school way easier than you were told it would be?

    sweetsthrnsass replied to SayNoTo DNC's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I was told my second semester with patho and pharm would be the worst and while the content was most difficult, this current (and last) semester of nursing school has been the hardest. It isn't even...

  16. The future for RNs?

    sweetsthrnsass replied to nURse_dEZi's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Well I feel way better for not having a clue what that was lol.

  17. The future for RNs?

    sweetsthrnsass replied to nURse_dEZi's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Just out of curiosity, what is a Catholic

  18. For Those of You Who Were Accepted Into BSN Programs With No CNA Experience

    sweetsthrnsass replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in General Students

    I didn't have any healthcare experience before nursing school and I didn't work as a tech or CNA during nursing school either and I just got a NICU job (I'm about to graduate). Just do something to...

  19. Job to live off of while in nursing school?

    sweetsthrnsass replied to jojofutureRN's topic in General Students

    There's quite a few girls in my class that work as techs at our local hospitals with no CNA or MA experience. Contact hospitals in your area! From what I understand, nursing school provided the...

  20. I thought that if you had clinicals at a hospital you had "your foot in the door"

    sweetsthrnsass replied to ant123's topic in Texas Nursing

    That's generally what I've heard as well, but it isn't a guarantee! I go to a school in a smaller city, but have been applying in big cities where I didn't do clinicals and got a job. There's so many...

  21. I feel like nursing school didn't prepare me for work

    sweetsthrnsass replied to Gem1984's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Hi timeis! So I'm going to be graduating in May from a BSN program. I just got a job in a 118 bed Level IV NICU, so that's an insane amount of stress as is. I don't feel prepared but I'm also not...

  22. HIPAA Violation as a student

    sweetsthrnsass replied to Nrsng_is_life's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I agree you need to report it. Just be professional about it when you email your professors or nursing school director. They will handle

  23. 3 month training and pregnant

    sweetsthrnsass replied to beens's topic in General Nursing

    Well just keep in mind that you have days you cannot work and there will be other nurses that want certain days off for their religious activities, so be as willing as possible to help those nurses...

  24. Clipping nails at nurse's station

    sweetsthrnsass replied to BillieP's topic in General Nursing

    Well that's just gross. And unprofessional. Would anyone do that at an office job?! Doubt it. And I have to agree, did they not have anything better to be doing? All I keep thinking about is finding...
