   bcyogi replied to AmyCan's topic in General Nursing

   Life is good 1973: Are you in Southern Nevada or Northern Nevada? I am in Southern Nevada. Any openings at your place? How would I locate the postings if so? Thanks for any info. Sounds like a nice job.

2. 3 days a week vs 5 days a week

   bcyogi replied to bcyogi's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks for the replies. Change is so hard, especially when you are going from something you still like. It is different when you are fed up at your job and it is time to move on. I would have less need for a babysitter on the 5 days a week, but I...

3. 3 days a week vs 5 days a week

   bcyogi posted a topic in General Nursing

   I have been working 3 12's 7a - 7p for a year and a half on a busy postpartum unit. I do like it. But I have always thought about doing ambulatory surgery. Any of you out there have info on likes/dislikes about ambulatory surgery? There are occas...

4. Transitioning to mother/baby couplet care

   bcyogi replied to Baby1nurse's topic in Ob/Gyn

   My hospital does not have a nursery at all. We have a separate NICU (totally different department and floor) and we have L&D (sister department but separate floor), but we get all the M/B patients. We typically take 4 couplets as our assignment....

5. How long should I study?

   bcyogi replied to MikeyJ's topic in NCLEX

   I graduated on May 19th and took the test on June 27th. Just found out today that I passed. I used the Kaplan book with CD and the Saunders book/CD. I had a couple other books like Lippencott and Mosby, but I only put those discs in a couple of tim...

   bcyogi replied to TRINI_RN's topic in NCLEX

   WOW....I took my test today and your test sounds just like mine. I shut off at 75 as well. I couldn't believe how many SATA I got. Hope my results turn out as well as yours. Congrats. Now I just have to think of something to take my mind off it i...

8. 75 questions!

   bcyogi replied to luvHim's topic in NCLEX

   Did you use the Qbank online for Kaplan? Or the CD that came with the book? I have been using Saunders and Kaplan with a little Mosby. I don't have the Qbank. I take my test on June 27th. I don't know if I will ever feel like I have studied enou...

9. Hospital "gift" for mom?

   bcyogi replied to Obnurseamber06's topic in Ob/Gyn

   When I had my kids, the hospital didn't give too much, but what they did was hand decorate (I had girls so there were flowers) a hospital onsie and put all the baby stats on it.... full name, date of birth, time of birth, length, weight. My kids nev...

10. stupid question about hours

    bcyogi replied to coltsgrl's topic in General Nursing

    My husband leaves for work at 5am and I will have to leave (starting work as an RN at the end of June!!!) at about 6am. My mom retired a couple years ago and lives about a 2 minute drive from me. She has offered to come to my house at 6am and read...

11. Moving to Vegas-HELP!

    bcyogi replied to TX-AFwife's topic in Nevada

    I am not too sure how the hospitals differ in pay, but I have heard good things about Sunrise and St. Rose. It may also depend on what side of town you are living on, because traffic can be a real nightmare out here. Only one hospital (that I know...

12. New mother baby nurse to be ...would love some advice about what the hardships are.

    bcyogi replied to momma/babyrn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think the IRT is "in reference to" or " in regard to". But I could be wrong.

13. Full time nursing students at CSN

    bcyogi replied to hmck32's topic in Nevada

    Yes, I did like the program. I became a NAP (nurse apprentice) during the program, and that made getting a job a bit easier. I haven't taken my boards yet, I think I will receive my ATT sometime this week and then I can schedule for mid to late June ...

14. Full time nursing students at CSN

    bcyogi replied to hmck32's topic in Nevada

    I didn't have financial aid, so I don't know how the part-time status would effect that. We only did one class per semester in the part time program (for most semesters), so the cost was about $100-150 for books and $250-350 for the class, so it was...

15. Full time nursing students at CSN

    bcyogi replied to hmck32's topic in Nevada

    I just graduated from the part-time program at CSN. I chose part-time because I was a SAHM with kids that had never been in child-care centers and I wanted to avoid day care costs because we were on only one income. I also had a fear of having a ma...
