   JuicyJem replied to Jenrn05's topic in Texas

   Trinity Christian is a great private school. Public schools depend on what area you move to. Good luck.

4. Looking for something...not sure what (a little long and whinny)

   JuicyJem replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in General Students

   I dont think you did anything wrong. Every instructor I had was like that. I have been out of school for almost three months and I am going to guarantee you that how much you mess up in school has no relationship to anything in your real nursing ca...

5. Unexpected Request from Boss

   JuicyJem replied to JuicyJem's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks so much for all of the replies!! I really needed other points of view. Even though they are all different, they are helpful. When I was hired, she said she only "needed" me for nights, like that was it if I wanted the job, and I could requ...

    JuicyJem posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi, I am a new RN. I have been to orientation at the hospital where I am working, and I met a lot of people. However, none of these will be working with me. I am the only new RN on this floor. I haven't met my preceptor yet. I am basically nervo...

    JuicyJem replied to Ashleyhoney's topic in New Nurse

    I also did not have calculations, just prioritization mostly.

14. Another NCLEX thread

    JuicyJem replied to JuicyJem's topic in New Nurse

    I took it today. I was WAY harder than I thought! I don't know if it was the anxiety from knowing that I REALLY needed to pass or what, but I was really surprised. In school I could always narrow the answers down to 1 or 2 and always came out on t...

15. transgender nurse (transvestite)

    JuicyJem replied to nursecathy's topic in Safety

    I wouldn't say that you are scary. I have always lived in the South, and I know that some patients will be rude to a transgender nurse/student. I have had a pt. recently make a comment about a nurse who was black. Whether or not it's right, people...
