1. Kishwaukee College Anyone???

   moonbunnie replied to Duggerchick's topic in Illinois

   Hi, I just graduated from NIU, but I worked at Kish Hospital with a few girls who were in the nursing program at Kish. Out of 3 that I worked with, one was kicked out for low scores in clinicals, one kicked out for low test scores, and one graduated ...

2. I don't have the "initiative"

   moonbunnie replied to moonbunnie's topic in New Nurse

   Well, I haven't been presenting myself at all yet, because I haven't heard from anywhere except the one other hospital associated with my hospital. But, when I thought about what I would say, I did plan to say something along the lines of your idea, ...

3. I don't have the "initiative"

   moonbunnie replied to moonbunnie's topic in New Nurse

   Well, they wanted to transfer me, but my hospital doesn't have any openings for me on another unit. The HR lady referred me to another facility's HR, but they are kinda like, well, our hospital is pretty busy, maybe a smaller place would be a better ...

5. question about getting first license

   moonbunnie replied to LAW79's topic in Illinois

   I graduated in December and took my test exactly a month later. ATT came about 2 weeks after graduation, and I scheduled test for 2 weeks after that. But, like someone else said, a lot more people graduate in May than December or March, so it might b...

6. I don't have the "initiative"

   moonbunnie replied to moonbunnie's topic in New Nurse

   Thanks Sue, that does make me feel better, knowing that I am not the only one who doesn't fit well at their first job. It just sucks to be fired for doing nothing wrong other than not having enough experience. Lol, but, I have enjoyed my week off, ex...

7. I don't have the "initiative"

   moonbunnie posted a topic in New Nurse

   Hi guys. I just kinda wanted to hear opinions on my situation from some other nurses/new grads. So, I got hired to work LDRP as a new grad. The manager seemed really cool. I actually found out later she was the interim manager, and also the educator....

8. How easy is it to change departments?

   moonbunnie posted a topic in General Nursing

   I was just wondering how easy it is for a nurse to go from one area to another totally unrelated area. I know when you first graduate, you should get a nice orientation to the unit, but what if I was working in something like labor and delivery, and ...

    moonbunnie replied to t2000JC's topic in General Nursing

    I love ER...I remember watching it with my mom when it was first on...I was only about 14 years old, and she liked it because she has worked in a hospital most of my life...then about 4 or 5 years ago, i started watching it again, and I just love it....

13. Didn't get in...vent

    moonbunnie replied to JoniL&DRN's topic in General Students

    Well, it really will only move back your graduation date by a few months...at least they will let you start in the spring semester, some schools only start once a year and you would have to wait a whole extra year...i understand what you mean about b...

14. Worried about my GPA?

    moonbunnie replied to CrystalClear75's topic in General Students

    we have to maintain a 2.5, and if we drop below, we are out of the program until we bring it above 2.5 by taking other classes, i guess. you should really find out from someone like a teacher or counselor, because if your school works the same way, t...

15. Letter Grades for Clinical?

    moonbunnie replied to JenNJFLCA's topic in General Students

    I wish ours were pass fail...we get letter grades, and 30% is our paperwork, but the other 70% is absolutely up to the instructor's discretion. that isnt always how it works, each instructor makes up their own rules for grading, but that is how it is...
