   jpt replied to jpt's topic in Geriatric

   Thats great! I will be starting mine soon. And I thought 4 pts were overwhelming during my clinicals at the hospitals. I hope I survive! I loved the hospitals during my preceptorship but oh well, I cant be choosy when I have no experience under my be...

   jpt replied to jpt's topic in Geriatric

   All I was told that the least they could give me was 3 day orientation, and its a night shift. I hope I am not the only RN and the charge, but they said that it would be heavy medpass, which probably means I'm not the charge.

   jpt replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX

   After paying for the quick results, I found that I passed!!!! I was so unsure about sitting for the NCLEX and was having thoughts about postponing it, but if you don't get over your fear, you never will. Well, I am one of those people coming back to ...
