   Happy to chime in, I applied in Feb - just decided to go for it a couple weeks before deadline, Acute Care Gero NP specialty track, and got my acceptance letter on Friday.

   Healthcare insurance

   bunnehfeet replied to Colleenj19's topic in General Nursing

   My first thought is always that we'll see a higher volume of sicker patients with longer problem lists - which at first blush seems impossible given what we see already, because hospitals will be the first and last resort for the majority of people w...

   NCLEX Resource Review - Kaplan, Hurst, UWorld

   bunnehfeet replied to hmvassar's topic in NCLEX

   UWorld. It's all I used for about 3 weeks after I graduated. I passed in 75 questions. The question types are similar, the color and the look and feel of the online platform is the same as NCLEX, the practice exams show you how well you're performing...

   Oatmeal gloves

   bunnehfeet replied to T-Bird78's topic in Ambulatory

   Did a rotation in a facility that used them. On the one hand (pun intended) they felt great on my hands. On the other, they are the thickness of food service or cleaning gloves, and they are bad for things where you need dexterity. I would never want...

   NCLEX Resource Review - Kaplan, Hurst, UWorld

   bunnehfeet replied to hmvassar's topic in NCLEX

   I took NCLEX this morning, it shut off at 75 and I got the good pop up this afternoon. Will wait for quick results, but I feel pretty confident. I did UWORLD for 3 weeks after graduation, I did about 1200 questions and both practice tests. I reviewe...

   Job offers before graduatiing?

   bunnehfeet replied to melsothavy's topic in New Nurse

   This mirrors my experience too. In my traditional BSN program the last (5th) semester is Summer, only 8 weeks so it isn't surprising we start looking for jobs in our fourth semester. Programs for new grad nurse residency programs typically begin Spri...

   Do nurses use "Linked In"?

   bunnehfeet replied to matcha-cat's topic in General Nursing

   Yes, you should use it. It's a professional network and the recruiters of all major healthcare organizations (and non-major ones) use it. I include my linkedin profile on my resume, and it was useful for me in getting my first job. I have connections...

   Anatomy and physiology notes

   bunnehfeet replied to shak95's topic in Student Assist

   I got an A in lecture and lab for both A&P 1 and 2. Here's the secret. I studied (a lot), and I made my own notes. Pro Tip: When you have lab time, use your phone to take pictures of all the models/cadavers/organs you'll be tested on from every ...

   What time do you wake up for work?

   bunnehfeet replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

   Same. 3am is first alarm, and I take a caffeine pill and let it get to working and I'm on the treadmill by 4 (but I have a second alarm at 4 in case I miss the first one, which happens sometimes), out the door by 5:45. Clock in for shift change at 6:...

    Your FAVORITE job

    bunnehfeet replied to chacha82's topic in General Nursing

    Cardiac rehab was actually one of my clinical sites in school. Basically it's like working at a gym, but where you're monitoring telemetry for everyone who is working out; also lots of assessments and monitoring vitals trends. Also got to educate co...

    Eclipse concerns

    bunnehfeet replied to SaltineQueen's topic in School

    I'm in Georgia and Atlanta metro area schools are actually delaying school release times for this reason (also because this is a cool thing for kids to learn about) and we're very near the path of totality here. And to the "old dude" who assumes that...

    Amazon Textbook Rentals?

    bunnehfeet replied to longwayup's topic in General Students

    Also, Amazon Prime Student is half the price of regular prime and comes with all the same perks. You just have to confirm you are a student with your institutional email address. Saved me thousands of dollars renting my textbooks and getting free sh...

    Heartbroken (long winded-sorry!)

    bunnehfeet replied to Fatsacktommy's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so sorry this happened to you. But thank you for posting it. Because basically this happened to me too, and I've had a hard time getting over it. My partner of 14 years imploded our relationship, in part because nursing school has kept me so busy...

    Leaving My Job While Still In Orientation

    bunnehfeet replied to abm2013's topic in Career Support

    I would also make sure - if you signed any sort of contract - what it is going to cost you to leave at this point? I know if I left during my orientation (which starts in a week) I would owe the hospital $5000.00. That number gets smaller the longer...

    Pharm Advice (Using UWorld, Kaplan)

    bunnehfeet replied to malaz's topic in NCLEX

    I think the ATI pharm book is really good - it's an outline that is comprehensive and only utilizes generic names (since trade names are no longer included on NCLEX). Maybe you can find a used copy online somewhere, although I think you can also just...
