Student - I'm so happy that your job is going to work with you. I know that some people were frantic at orientation trying to work their schedules around their jobs. I felt very fortunate that I am able to work my job around my schedule.

Mcj - It was nice meeting you as well!

I think a lot of people were worried about working, going to school, along with having the time to study. Just the way they sort of broke it down for us; even with my "freakish ability to multitasking" I admit I was feeling over whelmed. I'm sure its just nerves but i know Jefe and I were like "really???" Lol

I guess we will have to see how things play out, but lets hope for the best.

The one I bought came from Wally World and was only $13, but it has so much detail (I also bought colored pens but that is more fun for me LOL). I am married to a man with severe ADD so on top of that planner there is a large desk calendar that will hang on the back door so that he will see it when he leaves every day. :-) Leaving no room for error here! hehehe
Have you looked through your skills kit yet?? I came home Friday night and dumped it out and organized everything. So many goodies!!!
I still have most everything to buy but hopefully can start after the middle of the month. Mainly I want to start buying books . . .

I got a really good deal on all my books thru Majors Books!! Check it out

So... someone told me today that Baylor is going to stop accepting students from our school for clinicals and will also stop hiring ADNs. Anyone else heard that?

Abrn- I have been heraing alot about magnet hospitals. Look it up. Do you think its something like that

Also there are a lot of topics about magnet hospitals on this website. Tell me what u think.

I have heard that about magnet hospitals also. I work for a magnet hospital though, and they hire a lot of ADNs. I have noticed that their job postings say bsn preferred. Also I think that if you sign into one of their new grad residency programs you have to sign an agreement saying you will get your bsn within a certain amount of time. However Baylor hospitals in fort worth are not magnet facilities. Maybe they are trying to be.
