  1. Who here is starting April 1?

    I start RN to BSN April 1st too! I have 34 credits... I guess we have an orientation of some sort on Tuesday. And a mentor to be set up with. I'm ready to get started and get this done with.
  2. Wow, those are a LOT of questions. I would suggest you head over to your nearest hospital's ICU with the aforesaid snacks and see if anyone is available to answer. You'd get way better exposure that way, see some things and patients hands on, and may...
  3. THAT is exactly what goes on on our floor on a daily basis. I don't blame the techs to be honest. But the nurses are left dealing with it as well. I honestly don't see increasing numbers/decreasing pt load as an option! We've been saying that forever...
  4. That sounds very promising! I know there was talk for a while many months back about assigning each techs to specific RNs. But it was going to be a random thing each shift. I'm not sure my manager will go for this model of care because management on ...
  5. Hi everyone! I've been a member of allnurses since before I started nursing school, and I've always come here to find answers to questions and see other nurses perspective on things. I sort of got a more realistic view on what nursing might be by re...
  6. "A Day In the Life of Nurse Eye Roll'

    I feel like this post is going viral on my facebook page among all my nursing friends haha. And her entire blog is awesome!
  7. In Columbia, Palmetto Health Richland and Baptist specifically hire a ton of new grads and post positions for new grads specifically. I graduated in December and applied for the new grad position, and got hired right away at Richland. I swear that my...
  8. first night shift over

    Last night was my first night on night shift on a busy trauma unit! I felt the same way as you. I've been orienting for about 6 weeks now on days, and finally was getting a rhythm, and feeling like I could handle the time management to a degree. But ...
  9. The greys anatomy junior mock wrap scrub top is the best - only one I've found that is actually flattering. I like cherokee long boot leg cut draw string pants because I"m tall and they're the only ones that don't do the high water thing on me!
  10. I'm also curious about advice for this! Also, are traffic tickets a big deal when trying to get licensed? :-/
  11. Midlands Technical College Nursing Student

    Hey klj0315! I love that you are 1 semester ahead of me :) Thanks for the update - I'm assuming you mean NUR210, not 215? I've heard that it's easy-breezy compared to 3rd semester! I'm taking it this summer, and I've gotta admit I'm still a little in...
  12. NCLEX review board game

    never heard of it before, but looks like it could be really fun AND helpful especially for helping with remembering! How does the game work? Like how in depth are the questions and how do you win? :-p
  13. This is extremely depressing to hear when you're about to be a new grad in a few months and you've poured all your heart and soul into becoming a nurse
  14. How to NOT interview for your RN/LPN job!

    Wow pajamas????? You've got to be kidding! Thanks for the tips - I like to see it coming from the interviewer's point of view. I'll be a new grad in 2 semesters and I know I'll be extremely nervous when I first go out to interview for my first nursin...
  15. Does clinical do this to anyone else?

    I've always wondered if 5hr energy works... guess I should go get some!
