  1. my DON called today and told me i lost my job

    What I see is someone being discriminated against. Along with the suggestion to tape conversations, write down the dates & times in a notebook solely for this purpose when the DON/Admin calls or you call them, the reason why, your response or th...
  2. Help! What do I want to do with my life?!

    Part of the decision depends on the responsibility/culpability you want. For example, as a psychologist or social worker, you typically cannot write prescriptions for patients. In the role of an NP, you would be able to write prescriptions (dependi...
  3. What did u buy your first year of nursing?

    Getting out of debt, then hopefully a better place to rent. After that, I will think of a new car. First and foremost, paying off my high interest debt.
  4. Help me pls...NCLEX EXAM

    When I registered for the NCLEX exam, I didn't get my ATT until the state I was applying for licensure authorized me to test through PearsonVUE. If you have Vermont's approval, then someone has your nursing transcripts. Check with the state, and se...
  5. piercings at work

    I would have to agree with at least one post I've read - wait until you're through nursing school before any 'radical' modifications. That way, when you get a job as an RN, you can find out the employer's policies on jewelry, etc. Like most places,...
  6. Question Regarding Nursing Education

    I haven't heard of this, other than accredidation from school to school. Once you pass the NCLEX, there should be no problems. Have you passed the NCLEX-RN or NCLEX-PN? For example, I graduated from a Kansas college in December 2006, and I just go...
  7. Confused Nursing Student

    As previously stated, as an RN we cannot give the medical diagnosis - if you do that you expose yourself to possible lawsuits. You may not have had a legal course yet for nursing - when I went through school we did, and the most important thing to re...
  8. NCLEX assistance

    Also, before I forget - positive attitude helps! If you go in thinking you can do it, more than likely you will!
  9. NCLEX assistance

    One of my professors suggested taking roughly 3000 questions prior to taking the NCLEX - mainly so you can get used to the way the questions are worded, and how to answer the questions. I passed the NCLEX and got my license this week, mostly by doin...
  10. TIPS/Info for passing NCLEX

    I just graduated in December. One of my professors instructed us clear back in the junior semesters to take at least 3000 practice questions. The cramming that was done for the class before us, something must have worked because all 15 of them pass...
  11. Epilepsy Information

    I can give you some information as I too have been diagnosed with epilepsy. When were you first diagnosed? At 18 months What were your signs and symptoms. Staring straight ahead, left side of my body jerking What types of diagnostic tests did they...
  12. Have you ever been a patient?

    Like some of the replies in this discussion thread, I have been a patient more times than I would like to count. At 15 I had a craniotomy to remove a brain tumor (4 cm deep, 4 cm diameter), and had to have the bone flap removed due to a severe staph...
  13. What was your favorite area?

    I still have the critical care areas to go (final semester), however I've done 2 summer internships - one was in the perioperative area, so I got to do pre-op, OR, and PACU. The second one was oncology. I think I enjoyed the oncology rotation. One...
  14. Getting started

    Thanks. I'm looking at the hospital in North Platte, and I think they come down here to Fort Hays for our job fair - I'll be sure to ask them at that time. Thanks again!
  15. Appropriate Debt for Nursing School

    My debt so far ranges close to DDD. Being single and having too many bills (car, medical, etc), I have a lot of debt racked up on Stafford loans. However, as DDD said, once you graduate and start earning the RN wages, it won't take long to pay back...
