   jefang5 replied to jefang5's topic in New Nurse

   This is an update and very frustrating! I have been given the run around about going to night shift. I've been told that we have more resources on day shift, but yet day shift doesn't work as a team. I went to HR and when they spoke to my mgr and ...

3. Nights or Days better for New Grad

   jefang5 posted a topic in New Nurse

   Is night shift better for new grads than day shift? I'm working days and I can't seem to find time to learn what I feel like I should be learning about charting and etc. I had 6wks w/preceptor and have been on my own for about a month. I feel like ...

4. What color do you wear?

   jefang5 replied to Lorien_LPN's topic in Med-Surg

   We are required to wear white on my unit. Unbelievable, huh? Other hospitals in my area where navy bottoms and white tops. Most hospitals, you can where whatever you want. I just think white is impractical and causes white coat syndrome with the ...

   jefang5 replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX

   I have followed this website for over 6mos and watched the PVT trick and saw how accurate it is. So, yesterday my friend and I took our boards (FL) and both of us got shut off at 75. We went to the neares wireless spot and logged into to do the tri...

14. Waiting on ATT in FL, How long does it take?

    jefang5 replied to jefang5's topic in NCLEX

    I am also using the Kaplan and Saunders. The sticky notes with lab values is a great idea. I'm going to also get the NCSBN's 3 wk online study guide for 50.00. I am doing pretty much the same as you with some study groups mixed in. Have you playe...

    jefang5 replied to mmh2's topic in General Students

    I worked as much as I could and applied for pell grant and student loans. It still wasn't enough, but I managed to get by. Oh, I also qualified for food stamps after I had to quit my job in the next to last semester. It will all be worth it when I...
