1. How to Survive the Job Search

   Limbic System replied to JeanettePNP's topic in Job Hunt

   I know this thread is old but I just wanted to bump this up. Sometimes it's difficult to imagine that things will get better because of how difficult it is to get a job nowadays (especially as a new graduate RN with no experience) but things will get...

2. What did you take Anatomy with

   Limbic System replied to iknoweverything's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I liked taking two science classes together. I took anatomy and biochemistry together (both were pre-reqs for physiology). The following semester, I took physiology and microbiology together.

3. Parkland Summer 2015 Internship

   Limbic System replied to Nene1488's topic in Texas

   SFAgrad2015-- they just posted L&D position! Check their career page. I applied to the NNICU but I'm out-of-state so I don't know if they'll consider me. I hear Dallas is pretty saturated with new grads.

   JuliaguliaRN, BSN - Thank you for sharing! What state did you move to (I'm beginning to look at out-of-state options)? And what specialty are in now? Congrats on making it! It gives the rest of us California new grads hope! :)

5. NICU with no experience

   Limbic System replied to iHeartPeds4ever's topic in NICU

   NNP2018-- Did you have your nursing school preceptorship in the NICU or in pediatrics/maternity? I applied to the UVA program and selected newborn ICU as my 1st choice. Like the OP, I have no experience in NICU/ped (did my preceptorship in adult prim...

7. Passed at 85 questions

   Limbic System replied to HalcyonRamirez's topic in NCLEX

   Congratulations! Doing A LOT of questions is the key to passing the NCLEX. There is no way that you can learn every disease or medication that the NCLEX can throw at you... but, you can master the style of NCLEX questions. I used Saunder's and Kaplan...

8. Get the Bsn or leave nursing?

   Limbic System replied to smartnurse1982's topic in ADN/BSN

   She should be grateful she was hired into the ICU as a new grad with an ADN. It costs a hospital a lot of money to train a new graduate nurses. It's completely fair for the hospital then to require the RN to obtain additional education. Plus, I don't...

9. What does your username mean?

   Limbic System replied to LifesAJourney's topic in Humor

   My username is my favorite type of tea (tulsi with cinnamon rose). It's a hippie thing. :)

10. People really need to stop coming into nursing

    Limbic System replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

    "Nursing needs to implement slightly higher barriers to entry. Moreover, entry requirements should be standardized and consistent across the country." Yes! I think our standards for entry should be as high as pharmacy or physical therapy. I have so...

11. Get the Bsn or leave nursing?

    Limbic System replied to smartnurse1982's topic in ADN/BSN

    The PPACA is not socialist medicine. It operates under an insurance model (consumers can choose from multiple insurance providers). "Socialist medicine" would be a single-payer/universal healthcare system. For pre-nursing students, I suggest going s...

12. NewGrad RN trying to move to Ca

    Limbic System replied to vch1102's topic in California

    I live in Northern California and the job environment is much like SoCal. To even get considered for an interview you will need: BSN or MSN, certs (ACLS, PALS, ), and some kind of health care experience (volunteering at your local hospital, CNA work)...

13. Would you quit over white uniforms?

    Limbic System replied to TexMex22's topic in General Nursing

    It wouldn't bother me. I'm a new grad in California. I'll take the job even if they made me wear neon yellow scrubs with zebra prints.

15. Community College? You must be stupid.

    Limbic System replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in General Students

    I totally understand! I've been attending the local CC since I was 14 (summer after my freshman year of high school). I attended UC Berkeley straight out of high school and finished a BA in 3 years, graduating with a 3.8 GPA (making the Dean's List a...
