1. What preceptorship would be most helpful for getting into nicu?

   BSN<RN replied to JJ1994's topic in NICU

   Is Peds ICU an option? That would be a great stepping stone, in my opinion. If not, I would advise doing Pediatrics or Mother/Baby. If at all possible, you will need something that gives you some experience with baby assessment and management of care...

   Hi all! I received a scholarship to attend the NANN annual conference in Dallas October 22-25. It will be my first time attending a professional gathering; I am a new nurse in a Level III NICU and hoping to gain some foundational knowledge- also look...

3. Need Encouragement

   BSN<RN replied to RNdreams7's topic in NICU

   If child experience is really what they're looking for- what about getting on a Postpartum/Well baby Nursery floor or Labor and Delivery with the goal of getting 6 months- 1 year experience then moving to NICU?

4. What is it like to practice RN in Florida

   BSN<RN replied to babysRusRN's topic in NICU

   She sounds very misinformed and overly opinionated! I may be a bit biased because I've lived here for 18 years but I haven't encountered any issues that would cause me to advise anyone to not practice as an RN in Florida. The pay is a bit lower than ...

8. Should I reschedule??

   BSN<RN replied to On_a_mission92's topic in NCLEX

   I had very similar scores, didn't even get that good of results from Hurst, and passed in 75 questions. Keep your test date.

9. Lippincott PassPoint NCLEX-RN??

   BSN<RN replied to JNcCole15's topic in NCLEX

   In my opinion, Lippincott was much easier than what I saw on NCLEX. I feel it can be a good guide if you want to evaluate how you're doing (try to get as close to level 8) but I wouldn't invest money in it beyond the 2 week trial.

10. NCSBN review

    BSN<RN replied to Karaa's topic in NCLEX

    I found it to be very worthwhile. Yes, It is a lot of content, but it includes helpful tips and each module comes with related questions. There are about 1500 questions to do and they reset after you're done so you can do them over and over again.

11. What kind of stethoscope should I get for nursing school?

    BSN<RN replied to FLhusker's topic in Uniform/Gear

    Nursing schools usually require all-white shoes, which sometimes aren't the most comfortable. I started out using nurse mates, which held up pretty well, but as the clinical hours lengthened I needed more athletic shoes, so I got some Skechers with m...

    BSN<RN replied to iHeartPeds4ever's topic in NICU

    I completed a 144 hour preceptorship in the NICU and my school also had a good relationship with the nurse manager- Precepting students were chosen based on an interest in obtaining a position as an RN. I got to know a lot of the staff during my prec...

    Hi All, I graduated 2 weeks ago, and have been made eligible by my state board of nursing and am just waiting for my ATT from Pearson. Idealy, all the documentation verification would be completed and I could test right after graduation. But I hope t...
