   Navy FY2020

   mnurse2016 replied to Rizzo02481's topic in Government

   I will be. I'm prior enlisted (worked in aviation for 4.5 years before I got out and went to nursing school) and and looking to continue in my current specialty as a labor and delivery nurse. Hoping that the FY2020 openings coming out in the next f...

   Kaplan Best For NCLEX Study?

   mnurse2016 replied to em11's topic in NCLEX

   I agree with Flnolegirl. I used ATI (which was required by my school) and Uworld after and I found that Uworld was extremely helpful in studying for the NCLEX. It has a large question bank and really detailed rationales that can be used pretty much...

   Becoming a Navy Nurse

   mnurse2016 replied to hanabethh's topic in Government

   Being a dual-military couple can be extremely challenging. If you have your heart set on it just know that it is not promised that both spouses will be stationed at the same duty station. That depends on how many billets (aka job openings) there ar...

   Healthy Weight Week: Eat Healthy Lose Weight

   mnurse2016 replied to JanineKelbach's topic in General Nursing

   I love this! In the last eight years I've made nutrition and fitness a priority in life and in turn lost around 40 lbs all together. I worked as a fitness instructor while I was going through nursing school and am now in the process of figuring out...

   What was your very first Nursing Job?

   mnurse2016 replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

   I just got my first nursing job as a new grad in the Spinal Cord Injury Unit. I'm the first new grad who got hired directly to the unit with no experience (and didn't have to complete the year long new grad program they have), so it's been a little ...

   I Graduated Nursing School, Now What?

   mnurse2016 posted a topic in General Students

   I remember the first day that I started nursing school. I had butterflies in my stomach and so much excitement I could have burst at the seams right there in fundamentals lab. I went through an accelerated BSN program and it was a roller coaster full...

   Only charting?

   mnurse2016 replied to Niquolea26's topic in General Students

   I'd hardly consider a couple of months real experience in the clinical setting. If you have no interest in being a nurse why are you on a website called "All Nurses"... better yet, why are you wasting your time in nursing school? With that attitude...

   Only charting?

   mnurse2016 replied to Niquolea26's topic in General Students

   Lightning90 is a nursing student in his or her second term of nursing... from the previous posts he or she has made. It's interesting that you have such negative opinions of nurses while you are in school to become a nurse yourself (and have limited ...

    how hard is nursing school?

    mnurse2016 replied to futurenurseintx's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    Nursing school IS hard. If you are contemplating on whether or not to do it based on that then you might want to reconsider. I started nursing school when I was 24 and it was the best decision I have made for myself. I graduated in August, passed ...

    What did you use to study for the NCLEX?

    mnurse2016 replied to mininurse24's topic in NCLEX

    I used both ATI (books and website) and uWorld. I learned a lot through ATI during school, but I definitely recommend uWorld. The questions are great, review content is great and the colors/website structure is very similar to how the NCLEX looks. ...

    Jobs and the waiting game?

    mnurse2016 replied to bleafcna's topic in LPN/LVN

    It depends on the employer. I asked during the interview if I could reach out if I hadn't hear back within the two weeks they told me to wait. They were very open to it. Once I got my job offer I was given a point of contact within HR. I always ca...

    Help nclex 265- above passing standard last question?

    mnurse2016 replied to ArmyReserves-tiredRI's topic in NCLEX

    I don't think it's possible to know if its below or above passing level based on that information. I will say that I know people that have both passed and failed with 265 questions, so waiting for the results is the only way you will know. I passed...
