1. Oncology vs med-surg experience

   sunnydaydream replied to Student J's topic in Oncology

   I've worked the BMT floor for a year+ now and came directly out of nursing school. I can see that med-surg nursing allows a nurse to get the basic feel of everything, but if your in med-surg and are hating it your not doing yourself nor anyone else a...

2. Day shift vs. Night shift in Oncology

   sunnydaydream replied to rnoncology's topic in Oncology

   I have to agree with you tinderbox. I had five weeks of orientation on day shift for the BMT unit I work and we were busy but now that I am on night shift we are still super busy. You can't learn as much from the docs at noc because they are not ther...

3. NCLEX question..............

   sunnydaydream replied to Innurse78's topic in Indiana

   Actually you just have to wait on the school to send their info into the ISBN. When you send your money order in to the ISBN it's a pretty quick turn around and so is the Pearson part too. Our class graduated in December and we had one person take i...

   sunnydaydream replied to Achoo!'s topic in New Nurse

   This is my almost fourth week at my job. The first three were filled with a week long central nursing orientation, week after that was NCLEX review classes that they paid for, and the next week was computer classes (and my NCLEX which I passed!!!! Ya...

7. How did you continue on from your ASN degree?

   sunnydaydream replied to sunnydaydream's topic in Indiana

   I'm not saying that Ivy Tech hindered anything.... I was just looking to see what other people have done for there BSN as they may have understanding as to which program requires less of the pre-reqs when you have attended Ivy Tech. Thanks for your ...

8. Correct address for identification purposes?

   Thanks everyone! My sister is the one that made me start worrying about it (secretly I think she wants me to be super freaked!! Haha!) Good luck to everyone testing soon!

9. Correct address for identification purposes?

   sunnydaydream posted a topic in NCLEX

   Hey everyone, I've got a question for *anyone* that could possibly relieve my worries tonight. The ATT says that you have to have proper identification.... I have that my driver's license, BUT my driver's license has my *old* address and my ATT has...

    sunnydaydream posted a topic in Indiana

    Hey everyone, I just recently graduated from Ivy Tech with my ASN degree and am wanting to continue on for my BSN and eventually my master's. I would consider going straight for my master's if I could figure out the evolving doors of online educatio...

    sunnydaydream replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    Never got the cops called on me, but I did have a co-worker banging on my door getting ready to call the cops one time. I had went on a blind date and was late for work first time in the four years that I had worked there... My co-workers knew what ...

13. Aides and Nurses - Different Outlook, Lack of Understanding

    sunnydaydream replied to Weeping Willow's topic in General Nursing

    I've been a CNA for 9 years and just recently graduated with an ASN and will soon be working as a graduate nurse in one week... So my opinion is only that of a CNA in a LTC. It seems that CNAs have changed a lot over the past 9 years. JMO. It use to...
