1. DTCC Student

   cloudydrms replied to mellowknee22's topic in Delaware

   Stretch, Sorry, but I can't help you with the points systems. When I started at Del Tech, you were admitted into clinicals based almost solely on your score on the NLN. I scored really well on it, so I just had to wait the standard 1 year after tak...

2. Start orientation tomorrow

   cloudydrms posted a topic in New Nurse

   I start working on the floor tomorrow. Oh my gosh. I'm sooooo scared! :sofahider I officially started on Monday, but had three days of classes. Tomorrow I'll be starting on my unit (MICU Step Down) with my preceptor. I'll be praying for many th...

3. Nursing Uniform Policy

   cloudydrms replied to rustysflygirl's topic in General Nursing

   I'd totally support this. I'm a firm believer in nurses wearing something that distinguishes them from CNA/PCT's, Docs, or whomever. I've been in the hospital. My hubby's been in the hospital. It's always a question. Who is the nurse? You're al...

4. Need a good ICU book

   cloudydrms replied to erinnRN's topic in General Nursing

   Just a funny anecdote. I'm starting in the MICU StepDown on Monday. New older nurse (40yo) and for some reason I lost my mind and accepted a job there. (Actually I'm excited, but scared out of my mind.) Needless to say, I immediately came to this...

6. Did I take too long to job hunt?

   cloudydrms replied to Billy5949's topic in New Nurse

   It really shouldn't matter. I graduated in May, took and passed the NCLEX in July, and really didn't start looking seriously until mid-August. I just accepted a position. I interviewed everywhere. (I just wasn't sure what I wanted to do.) Anyway...

7. Preparing in advance

   cloudydrms replied to mary777's topic in General Students

   mary777, Looks like this post just went haywire from the beginning. I choose to forgive. LOL. Anyway, as a recent ADN graduate (that's graduated with an Associates degress in Nursing) and recent RN (passed the NCLEX...woohoo!), I would suggest tha...

8. Student Nurse's Prayer

   cloudydrms replied to All_Smiles_RN's topic in General Students

   Even though I'd never read it, I thought those things many times during nursing school. AMEN! Cindy

9. How to answer question - "What did you get?"

   cloudydrms replied to Montessori Mommy's topic in General Students

   Unfortunately, it did always come up, and I always chose to answer which wasn't always a good thing. Since I was a good student, people always responded with the typical...well, you always do good response. But, if you don't want to respond, someon...

    cloudydrms replied to Chrislynn2003's topic in Delaware

    Hi, Christine...Welcome. My name is Cindy, and I just graduated in May and passed the NCLEX in July. I'm currently looking for a job (wanted to take the summer off). I haven't had a lot of problem getting interviews, but then again I know some pho...

12. Share Your Saying

    cloudydrms replied to angelique777's topic in Humor

    This aren't lovely quotes, but they are funny Southernisms: (To be used after someone's had a particularly rough night) Your eyes look like two pi$$ holes in the sand. Busy as a cat covering up s&*t Dry as a popcorn fart. (As in "Man, it sure ha...

13. Need Help A.s.a.p.!

    cloudydrms replied to ATL_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I used an NLN study guide entitled "Review Guide for RN Pre-Entrance Exam" by Mary McDonald. It was the only one available at the time. It was a fairly thick text and it covered all the material that could be on the NLN. It definitely helped me to...

    Congratulations, Sheryl, . Way to hang in there! Cindy :balloons: :balloons: :balloons: :balloons:

15. Last question correct?

    cloudydrms replied to ShawnetteRN05's topic in NCLEX

    I honestly don't know where this theory came from, but if you think about it it does make sense. But it only makes sense if you get more than 75 or less than 265 questions. If you get more than 75 and they are looking for you to show that you've de...
