1. Today I lost it!

   Di0202 posted a topic in General Nursing

   Okay so I had a really rough day today. It's been almost three months since I started my new job and today I actually cried from frustration halfway through my shift. It started with taking patients from a nurse who left me with a lot of undone orde...

2. Masters Degree - Nurse Practictioner need a BSN?

   Di0202 replied to nycNurse2b's topic in New Jersey

   I am in the same boat. I have bachelors in business and an associates in nursing at the present time. It will depend on what type of masters you are going to get. I could easily get a masters in nursing administration without a BSN. I have looked...

   Thanks for the encouragement! I have had a few days off to regroup and am ready to hit the floor again this week. I have come up with a few strategies to help me keep up with my paperwork. My patient care always comes first, so sometimes the paper...

4. do you iron your scrubs?

   Di0202 replied to FutureNurse2005's topic in General Students

   I guess I will admit to ironing my scrubs. I can't stand showing up for work looking rumpled.

   I started on a telemetry unit a few weeks ago. It's my first job as an RN and I am really stressed. I have worked up to three patients by myself and four with help, but when orientation is over I will have to be able to handle six. I only have a c...

   Di0202 replied to ZZTopRN's topic in General Nursing

   You can do the test as many times as you want. When it asks for that 10 digit number just punch in a different one every time. I did this for mine, and it worked. The test is the same every time which I didn't like, but the book had some great tes...

   I start my first nursing job tomorrow. I will be working on a telemetry floor at the hospital. I have been told that I will have 6 weeks of orientation and more if I still need it. I am soooo nervous. Working as a real RN and not just a student i...

   Di0202 replied to NYrnTX's topic in Texas

   I don't have an e-mail address on anything they have sent me. You might try sending a fax. The fax number for endorsement is (512) 305-6870. They might email you back if you send your address. It's worth a try. Good Luck

10. Eateries Push for Obesity Suit Protection

    Di0202 replied to dietersmanifesto's topic in General Nursing

    I couldn't agree more. I have seen a definite trend in the "blame someone/anyone else for my problem". When I was in school, students were constantly blaming instructors for their failures. It couldn't have possibly been that they weren't studying...

    Di0202 replied to NYrnTX's topic in Texas

    Believe it or not, my experience with the Texas BNE was a good one. I was a new grad with a brand new Alabama license and it couldn't have gone smoother. I filled out the form for the fingerprint cards on-line and received them within a week. I too...

    Hi! I am a new RN and have an interview with a telemetry unit on Friday. I loved the cardiac unit when I was in school, so I am very excited about this interview. My question is about the focus of the interview. Do you think they will be asking s...
