2. Any Advice Or Help Would Be Great

   Chelle79 replied to Chelle79's topic in General Nursing

   I think you did say alot when you mention not feeling confident. I have told them many times that I feel completely incompetent. I do feel like a lousy nurse because I don't feel like there is time to care for the patients the way I want to. If I ...

8. Insurance physical - What can I expect?

   Chelle79 replied to TnPatient's topic in General Nursing

   Tn....LOL.....What the heck, you can give it a try and see if it works. I too had never thought that they would tell someone they needed to gain weight in order to get health insurance. At the time I was not sure how they calculated their rates, et...

9. Insurance physical - What can I expect?

   Chelle79 replied to TnPatient's topic in General Nursing

   I had to have one a few yrs back and it's really nothing. Like others stated, she just checked vitals, height & weight, and also took some blood. Rather simple. I too...really healthy, no problems. So I was shocked when they called and told me...

    Chelle79 replied to Courtney13's topic in NCLEX

    Hang in there! You didn't get through nursing school for no reason. The NCLEX is not an easy test by no means. I studied my butt off but the stress of just having to go sit for it made me forget things too as I sat down to take it. I am thankful ...

13. Why am I taking another tb test??

    Chelle79 replied to adruiz01's topic in General Nursing

    Try not to stress too much. These are all standard things which are asked of everyone who enters the medical field. Having a false positive result will not keep you from being able to work in the field or obtainging a license jerrynuevo. In fact, I ...
