   beautsbelle posted a topic in Online Learning

   Hello! I am looking to start an RN to BSN program online. I have 2 schools I am looking at. Chamberlain and Aurora University. Both are 100% online programs. If you have taken an online RN to BSN program, what made you choose the school you did?...

2. White scrub top cami question

   beautsbelle replied to beautsbelle's topic in Uniform/Gear

   Thanks! I will try that. I do usually wear skin colored bras, but you can see my pants at my waist through the white top, and I am a bit on the modest side, and you can see my belly button and I just wanted to cover it up a bit. I'd have rather ha...

3. White scrub top cami question

   beautsbelle posted a topic in Uniform/Gear

   Hello everyone, The hospital where I work has chosen to have their nurses wear white scrub tops and Navy bottoms. I love the look, very crisp and easy to identify nurses vs CNA's or housekeeping. Patients seem to like it as well. I am having a pr...

4. Just got my Littmann Master Cardiology Stethoscope..

   beautsbelle replied to Scrubz's topic in Uniform/Gear

   Do be careful with it. Mine is missing and I miss it SO much! I had my name engraved on it, so I hope it just was borrowed and will turn up soon. If not, I will have to get another one as the sound is SO nice.

5. Honest opinion about kaplan

   beautsbelle replied to aliciarae's topic in New Nurse

   I took Kaplan, and my score from the diagnostic to the readiness test did not change. I got EXACTLY the same on the two tests. I was a bit upset, and the instructor told us that the readiness test is actually harder than the diagnostic test, so imp...

   beautsbelle replied to Tolstoym1's topic in General Nursing

   I graduated from a Technical college in Wisconsin. We were taught how to give blood, as well as how to start an IV and how to draw blood. Most of our teaching was in the lab, but we did get practice during our clinical time at the hospitals. Hope...

7. just took the NCLEX!!!

   beautsbelle replied to melisgood's topic in New Nurse

   I passed with 75 and thought for sure I failed BIG TIME. I got a bunch of SATA, so I sort of thought maybe I was doing OK. I tried the 'trick' about an hour later, and I couldn't get to the credit card screen, so that made me feel better. Got my r...

8. does HR works on saturdays?

   beautsbelle replied to spongebob6286's topic in New Nurse

   Are you afraid you will miss the call? Do you have an answering machine or voice mail that you can check from work with a password? Just a thought. Then if they called, you could ask to take a break and return the call.

9. Post-NCLEX woes...Please reply

   beautsbelle replied to rpbsnrn's topic in New Nurse

   I can sit here and tell you "don't worry", but I was in your shoes a week ago.... so I won't even say that, because I know how I felt! I felt the same way when I walked out after 75 questions. I wanted to cry, and I am not big on crying, so for me...

    LOL, true, but RN's with jobs supervise MA's. Just talking out loud. I just need to work. I feel like I am loosing my mind filing out applications and in 30 minutes getting a 'no thanks' email. Agghhh.

    beautsbelle replied to luvmyguys's topic in New Nurse

    I am actually considering applying to other positions. Sad to say, but this is not a good time to find a job in any market. Heath care is not excluded. I wonder, can I apply for an MA position? (Medical Assistant).
