1. Are Student Nurses Prepared for "Real Life?'

   jml444 replied to paperdreams's topic in General Nursing

   NewcdnNurse: That was very well put- you are so right, nobody is every fully "ready" for something that is brand new to them. The more experienced nurses need to remember that, think back to when they were brand new, have more patience and take new...

2. Are Student Nurses Prepared for "Real Life?'

   jml444 replied to paperdreams's topic in General Nursing

   Love it!!!!! You would think that to be the case with the attitude's of some of the "seasoned" nurses. I came across so many of that type during my clinical rotations- they are a pain in the rear and should retire!!

3. The NEW Nurse (Not the ones AOL speak of)

   jml444 replied to walk6miles's topic in General Nursing

   I am 42 yrs old and just graduated in May as a new RN and have never and would never behave like this at any job!! That sounds like a maturity problem to me- but shame on management for putting up with it! In my nursing class, the majority of the s...

5. Is Rehab the wrong place to start out?

   jml444 replied to jml444's topic in New Nurse

   Well I guess maybe it will be okay. You're right, everything will be new at first- so I guess getting the routine down of a hospital, learning the documentation, etc is the first step, and if after 6 months or so I don't feel challenged, I can move o...

   I don't start until August- so you'll have to let me know how you like it!! Do you have any of the same reservations about it as I do?

7. Is Rehab the wrong place to start out?

   jml444 posted a topic in New Nurse

   I just graduated in May and accepted a job on the rehab floor of a city hospital. I'm starting to have second thoughts of whether this is the right place for a new grad to start out. At first I thought it would be good to have a slower pace to start ...

    jml444 replied to NurseNature's topic in NCLEX

    I know EXACTLY what you mean- my husband keeps saying the same things and it only makes it worse! It's like dismissing how hard that flippin test is!! I'm still waiting- just took it yesterday and hated it- I completely feel like I failed it and am ...

    Thank you for your encouraging words and prayers, I really appreciate that. I'm not feeling much better about it this morning either. I keep remembering some of the questions then running and looking them up and saying, "crap...got that one wrong too...

    jml444 replied to locolorenzo22's topic in NCLEX

    I just took the NCLEX today- and totally think I failed it!! I was so frustrated- it seems like all of the studying I did was for nothing because the majority of what I studied was NOT on the test!! At least with the practice questions I was doing on...

    CZYJA, Thanks for your post. I agree with most of what you said. I am the one who started this thread, because I was interested in finding out the other possibilities/opportunities for nurses, but I am definitely going to work in a hospital for at le...

    jml444 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am just getting ready to graduate and am looking for a job right now. Presently I am interviewing in different hospitals, however, I don't think the bedside is where I want to be long term. Other than hospitals, doctors offices, schools and HMO's,...
