2. Do you do anything PRN?

   Piper98 replied to Piper98's topic in School

   Thank you so much for your reply and advice. I should add, I am currently in school getting my RN-BSN, so I agree I also don't want to overextend myself. I just feel like I need some thing more, if that makes sense? There are just so many options in ...

3. Do you do anything PRN?

   Piper98 posted a topic in School

   Hello! I have been an RN for about a year and a half and started bedside after NCLEX and transitioned to school nursing about halfway through the academic year. I have always wanted to be a school nurse, but now I am not sure. I imagine next year wil...

4. Purdue Northwest RN-BSN Question...

   Piper98 replied to Piper98's topic in Online Learning

   I am scheduled to be done in early May 2024. However, I only have to take the nursing courses because I have a previous bachelor's degree, and everything transferred. In the first course, we wrote 3 papers, but honestly, the discussion posts are...

   Piper98 replied to Piper98's topic in Online Learning

   I did! Finished my first 5wk class last Friday. So far, it is definitely doable, just takes some time management. I work full-time, so 7:30-3:30 Monday-Friday, so I work during the day during lunch and evenings and weekends. So far, it is a lot of di...

   Piper98 replied to futurenursemar's topic in NCLEX

   Of course it is possible to fail even after getting high percentiles, it sounds like you are very prepared and will do very well!! I had similar percentiles prior to taking the test in February, and ended up passing in 75. Good luck, you will do grea...

8. Purdue Northwest RN-BSN Question...

   Piper98 posted a topic in Online Learning

   I am scheduled to be starting the Purdue Northwest RN-BSN program next month, and I am starting to have second thoughts. I graduated with my ASN a year ago, and am currently working as a sub school nurse, but may be working a FT permanent position st...

9. Part time?

   Piper98 replied to NewRookie's topic in New Nurse

   Definitely not! I worked 24 hours per week in the ICU after graduation. I lasted 6 months…it was just not for me. I wanted to make it a year, but feeling miserable all of the time wasn’t worth it. I am now doing something I love and am so happy I mad...

11. ID Badge

    Piper98 replied to odyssey321's topic in School

    I bought a cute sparkly one from Amazon. I just started as a sub. My hubby says I’m trying to flex…maybe I am. I worked darn hard for those two letters behind my name!

    What is your favorite aspect of nursing? Would you be interested in doing something in a clinic? What about dialysis or home care?

14. RN-BS vs. RN-BSN…Is there a diff?

    Piper98 posted a topic in Online Learning

    I am currently looking to start a RN-BSN program in the Spring. I already hold a BS in Health Science, and just got my ASN in December. I wanted to get my BSN from the school I have my original BS from because many of the prerequisites I have already...

15. Two weeks into orientation, constantly terrified. Is this normal?

    Piper98 replied to hollyleaf's topic in New Nurse

    You are not alone. I am 4m in, one week off orientation and still feel like I have no idea what I am doing. I am in the ICU, and have yet to get a flash doing an IV. Nursing school did not prepare us for how hard this first year was going to be. You ...
