1. Where did 12 hour shifts come from?

   nurse4kiddos replied to Furoffire's topic in General Nursing

   I'm not sure where you get the idea that working 12 hour nights is better than 12 hour days. The only difference is that there are fewer people around during the shift, but many nights I am just as busy as they are on the day shift. I do agree with ...

5. When will I find my nitch?

   nurse4kiddos replied to scnewgrad06's topic in New Nurse

   Good Luck on your interview! I have heard many nurses from my floor say that they prefer NICU, but at my hospital you can't transfer to another department until you have been in your current position for 6 months. Besides that, they aren't hiring an...

6. When will I find my nitch?

   nurse4kiddos replied to scnewgrad06's topic in New Nurse

   Wow! I could have written this post! I also thought that pediatrics was my area of interest, but the PICU terrifies me. The unit that I work on has general, IMC & ICU so it is alot to learn. I have only been working on my unit for 5 weeks, but I ...

7. I Passed!!!! What a relief!!

   nurse4kiddos replied to nurse4kiddos's topic in NCLEX

   Sorry to confuse you! I don't have any kids. My screen name is in reference to me being a Pediatric Nurse. I don't have any great words of wisdom about making it through school with kids, especially young ones! I was the minority in my nursing school...

8. I Passed!!!! What a relief!!

   nurse4kiddos posted a topic in NCLEX

   :balloons: I am pretty new around here, but I have been reading the posts in this forum for the past few weeks. It was so encouraging to know that other people are going through the same thing as me! I am happy to report that I got my results today ...

9. 76 Questions Today, Hoping I Passed!!!!

   nurse4kiddos replied to nurse4kiddos's topic in NCLEX

   Yahoo!!! I passed!!! I found out this morning at work while my preceptor looked over my shoulder! I was so nervous it would say fail and she would see it! Then my day was so busy that I couldn't even call my husband and tell him until I left work for...

10. 76 Questions Today, Hoping I Passed!!!!

    nurse4kiddos posted a topic in NCLEX

    Well I took the NCLEX today and got 76 questions. I closed my eyes and said a prayer at 73 that it would stop at 75 if I passed. When I hit next after 75 and got another question, my heart dropped. But thankfully it shut off at 76. I got TONS of prio...

11. How about a thread for baby names you liked?

    nurse4kiddos replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My absolute favorite girl's name is Ainsley Cadence. Other girl names I like are Grace, Katelyn, Madelyn, and Amelia. For boys I like Matthew, Nathan, Brayden, Christopher and Andrew. I am sure to have a hard time deciding on a name since there are ...

12. Your honest opinions please....

    nurse4kiddos replied to wasted-enough-time's topic in General Nursing

    Am I missing something? You have made $23,000 in five months and have paid your entire mortgage and paid off a brand new car? I realize you may have a spouse who contributes to this, but as that isn't stated in your post I'm just assuming that. Other...

13. How long does it take to get ATT for NCLEX

    nurse4kiddos replied to manurse06's topic in NCLEX

    I live in Illinois, and I'm unsure if the process is the same in all states, but I would imagine so. My school did not tell us we could apply through our Board of Nursing via the Internet, so they mailed our applications in a big group (sent on 5/22)...
