  1. Job Offer. Should I take it????????????

    I hate to be the voice of decent, but I haven't heard many good things about Arlington Memorial (if that's the hospital to which you're referring). In fact, I work with an accomplished nurse who was offered a very large salary in conjunction with a ...
  2. Pearsonvue Trick Is this TRUE? Does it work every time?

    The trick worked for me! I just found out that I passed!!!!! I'm an RN, baby!!
  3. New Grads- What floor where you hired for?

    With so many new grads having difficulties obtaining employment, I made myself a promise that I would accept the first job that I was offered which ended up being telemetry. My dream job would have been either neonatal ICU or CVICU, but overall, I t...
  4. Pearsonvue Trick Is this TRUE? Does it work every time?

    Took the NCLEX-RN today at 2:00 pm. Just tried the Pearson Vue trick, and I was not allowed to proceed to the credit card page! Of course, I'll know for sure on Thursday, but I feel a bit calmer now.
  5. Vent; people dont understand when one has to study for the NCLEX...

    Yeah, I'm in the same boat. The man and spawn just can't seem to get it through their knuckle-heads that I NEED TO STUDY!!! It doesn't matter how many times I plead and/or scream at them, they'll just keep getting my my last nerve (and trust me, I ...
  6. which littman for the ER?

    I love my Master Cardiology! It does take a bit getting used to alternating between light and heavy pressure, but that stethoscope just can't be beat, in my opinion!
  7. Buying a Stethoscope

    In my personal opinion, while the Littmann Lightweight is indeed inexpensive and decent for the beginning, nursing student, it falls woefully behind as your skills increase. By the start of my third semester, I realized just how much I couldn't hear...
  8. El Centro / Northlake ADN orientation

    Seriously, the books are CRAZY expensive, so if funds are tight, just get your Potter/Perry and Iggy. Those were the ONLY two books I purchased for the entire duration of nursing school. I utilized the some of the "Straight A's" books for subjects ...
  9. HESI vs. NCLEX

    I really wish I could do the Kaplan review, but I just can't afford it. Unreallly, did you find that NCLEX was more generalized knowledge, or did they pick out the really random disease processes and medications? HESI was pretty general, in my opin...
  10. June 2009 NCLEX Support Group

    Scheduled to have my butt kicked by NCLEX on June 9th.
  11. HESI vs. NCLEX

    This is not the first time that I've heard that HESI was more difficult than NCLEX. I'm really worried, because I actually thought that HESI was fairly easy, and I did very well on the exam. I'm currently working my way through Saunders 4th Edition...
  12. Tcc or Northlake ? Please help

    I graduated from Northlake in May, and for the most part, I was very happy with my education. I found the instructors to be very helpful, and I can honestly say that I feel pretty confident heading out into the workforce. As of the beginning of my ...
  13. Took NCLEX RN today!!!

    Best of luck to you Saphire! I'm still waiting for my ATT; my school is notoriously slow about sending them out. Be sure to let us know how you did!
  14. Pregnancy and Nursing School

    One of my dearest friends found herself pregnant midway through our second semester. She ended up suffering from PIH at about month eight, and was consequently placed on bedrest shortly before the baby was due. If it wasn't for a VERY understanding...
  15. Terrified of NCLEX!

    Okay, so I took the HESI and passed with what I feel to be a pretty decent score of 1047. To be truthful, I felt the exam was significantly easier than what I had expected. Now, I've heard that if one performs well on the HESI that the odds are ver...
