  1. Waiting 4 months to take NCLEX... is this a good idea?

    I took the NCLEX 3 weeks after I graduated, and I passed the first time. I really don't recommend waiting an extended period of time to take the exam, because you do forget what you don't use. Also, study hard, but don't over study. You made it th...
  2. Brookdale Senior Living

    I agree completely! I was so disillusioned. I thought I had found the place that I wanted to work for the rest of my nursing career. Then, along came the new ED-who has no healthcare experience. I have my administrator license, and she is making ...
  3. Brookdale.??

    I too am finding out about working for this company. I have been putting in almost double time the past couple of weeks. Well, I am salaried, and guess what, I am sick from exhaustion. My new ED is alienating all staff, and firing people without j...

  6. Brookdale Senior Living

    So far so good with my new position at a Brookdale Senior Living facility. I am Wellness Director/Healthcare Coordinator of a 20 bed assisted living facility, and we have an independent community as well. I am an RN, and I took a huge paycut, but t...
  7. 7p-730a

    Hello! I worked this shift for two years, and it was a struggle for me for all of those two years. Some people's bodies adjust to night shift better than others. My body fought it the entire time. I stayed sick, tired, irritable, and unhappy. Now, I ...
  8. Nursing, Smoking, and Kids

    I grew up in a household where both parents and an older brother smoked. They smoked so much, that my clothes and hair reeked of it when I went to school. When I was in middle school, some classmates accused me of smoking. There was so much smoke i...
  9. Would you hire me back if you were them?

    I know that I am in the minority, but most people deserve a second chance. You seem to be a very caring person from your response to your former employer. I believe only a caring individual needs to be in the medical field. You did make a mistake,...
  10. RN responsibilities in LTC

    When an RN or LPN supervisor is responsible for all patients and all staffing who are riding on his/her license, then yes, always all personnel operating under his/her license should ask their RN or LPN supervisor's opinion, and let them assess the p...
  11. ICU: Nurses Wash Patients + Make Beds?

    When I worked ICU, we did total pt care, bed baths, linen changes, blood draws from lines, no EKG's, we restocked pt rooms, we cleaned the room, cleaned all equipment, restocked crash carts, had no unit secretary, had 1-4 pts per RN, and that is why ...

  13. Need advice on whether to pursue nursing

    The most important question to ask yourself: Do I think being a nurse is what I want to do? Only you can answer that question. Nursing is tough. It is tough emotionally and physically. But, most days I am so glad I became a nurse. I graduated with my...
  14. Is 3 weeks enough time?

    It was 2 weeks for me from graduation to taking the NCLEX. I am a nerd though, so I thrive off learning all that I can, and I was doing the prep all through nursing school. The NCLEX was so unlike any test that I had ever taken. Just know your labs, ...
  15. Why do I feel like an idiot?

    Hi. Please know that we all felt that way! Well, I know I did, that is for sure. We have so much info. drilled into our heads in such a short frame of time, and we leave the program so tired, and with such an awesome amount of responsibility on our h...
