   Hey there, who did u end up going with.....city, price, clinical, etc. thx

2. Med Surg, Help desperately needed!!!!

   blkgurlwithwings replied to >--stethoscope--o's topic in General Students

   Not sure if you exams are NCLEX-based, but NCLEX books saved me thru MED Surg! Did you decide whether you wanted to be a nurse or not? I started freaking out 3 weeks before graduation and I'm sure it was just anxiety, but nursing is not something y...

3. No JOB- Spare time=LOSE WEIGHT!

   blkgurlwithwings replied to k.morris's topic in New Nurse

   If anyone is familiar with Dr. Ian Smith's Fat Smash, I did it for 10 days and lost 11 pounds. It stayed off for awhile, but alas..... Gonna do it again as a detox. Google it. It's basically all fruit and veggies and some brown rice.

4. Nursing Recruiters and Portfolios

   blkgurlwithwings replied to ilovenursing2009's topic in General Nursing

   I can't recall but I did a google type search or craigslist or something. I'm in the Bay Area. Where do they charge to volunteer? I should be clear...I am NOT doing patient care as such, but I file records which I am free to scan and learn from, ...

5. Nursing Recruiters and Portfolios

   blkgurlwithwings replied to ilovenursing2009's topic in General Nursing

   pay to volunteer? I don't think so. I found my position online on some volunteer website. I think they were so happy to get me. I volunteer 1 day/week so that I can still job search and volunteer elsewhere. On Friday, I "bumped" into a Nurse Manager ...

6. Gossiping amongst nurses

   blkgurlwithwings replied to QTpie86's topic in General Nursing

   It's a strange concept because how is a new nurse supposed to try and fit in or be liked other than follow the status quo? It's tricky because it could end up biting you on the backside. Think back to nursing school. There were the quiet, studious ty...

7. Doctor's Fiancee yelled at me

   blkgurlwithwings replied to QTpie86's topic in General Nursing

   I think some are being a bit hard on the OP. I'm sure her feelings were hurt, she felt embarrassed and slighted by the fact that this person was her own age. Hopefully she has read these posts and has learned that not everyone will welcome your gos...

8. California's 2009 New Grad RN Program- Who's hiring right now?

   blkgurlwithwings replied to piscesmama's topic in California

   Hate to say it, but it's really a networking game around here in NoCal. The only responses I have received have been "through the grapevine". I feel like all this emailing nonsense is such a waste of time. Funny story. I started volunteering 1 da...

9. Pearsonvue Trick Is this TRUE? Does it work every time?

   blkgurlwithwings replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX

   worked for me too. first i saw a message about being on "hold". then i got a message 2 days later that i had "recently scheduled" a test. I took the test on tuesday and by friday 9pm, there was still no name. I went to bed mad thinking I would ha...

10. Anyone else get cut off before 100?

    blkgurlwithwings replied to JBET's topic in NCLEX

    I feel the same way. I want to vomit. I feel so sad...not because I don't think I can do it, but because I simply do not want to go thru it again. My boyfriend is a Social Worker and their licensing tells them immediately. It's not like it's hard...

11. Pearsonvue Trick Is this TRUE? Does it work every time?

    blkgurlwithwings replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX

    i took that horrible thing today, tried to re-register and it said something about scores being on HOLD. I haven't seen anyone else say that and I've read the whole thread. I'm in CA for RN. Is this what they meant. Also, will it appear online BO...

12. Samuel Merritt ABSN worth it or not?

    blkgurlwithwings replied to yukitiki's topic in California

    Don't forget the 10% interest rate to boot--other loans are more like 8%. Now I'm glad I didn't bother applying. My friend said the SF campus had the same problem. No Kaiser jobs for the Kaiser Scholars. What a joke.

13. Strangest thing you've heard a co-worker or patient say?

    whatever happened? Did you get the job? I'm in the same boat. Any hints?

15. Strangest thing you've heard a co-worker or patient say?

    Please tell me that was a patient and NOT staff (re: rabbit remark)! I, too am speechless regarding the elderly fornicators.
