   O how I long to be a L&D nurse :(

   cheska_rn replied to LH...RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

   My advice: Keep applying for L&D jobs, but also apply for HOSPITAL jobs. Not a dig against LTC, but a lot of facilities want your experience to be hospital experience. I took a job on a geropsych unit at a hospital and after a year applied to a L...

   Help -- Should I call again?

   cheska_rn replied to cheska_rn's topic in Job Hunt

   Thanks, both, for your replies and suggestions. I really want to call, but don't want to seem like I am being impatient, or a nag. I'm still undecided. Was hoping/praying to hear something today. It has been 8 days since I heard "upon successful com...

   So, I graduated in May, passed NCLEX in July, and had my first interview at the beginning of this month. I interviewed with both the recruiter and hiring manager, and both went very well. They invited me to shadow, and the hiring manager asked me to ...

    MOST horrible Nclex experience of my life!! I nor pass nor failed!!!

    cheska_rn replied to Txnurse722's topic in NCLEX

    I am also a firm believer in "everything happens for a reason". Was there content that you were being tested on that you felt you were lagging in? Take this time to review those areas. Good luck!

    Easy (Hard?) Math Question

    cheska_rn replied to cheska_rn's topic in Student Assist

    When in my schooling did I fail to learn that drop factor = mL?? So if it is 15gtt/min does that equal 15 drips equaling 1mL?? Is it interchangeable with the both macro and micro? I came up w/the same answer, but used a completely different formula....
