   Pooh Bear RN posted a topic in New Nurse

   I am coming upon my first full year of nursing. I have had two jobs within the past year. The first one was the first job offered to me and I felt wayyyyyy in over my head. It was a busy ICU floor. I worked with really great people there and they wer...

2. Time frame for job hopping???

   Pooh Bear RN posted a topic in General Nursing

   Sorry if this is a stupid question, but how long must you stay at a job until it is no longer considered job hopping? I have been nursing for just shy of a year and am currently on my second job as a RN. The first position I took straight out of scho...

3. Thinking of going back to school

   Pooh Bear RN replied to barbj317's topic in Tennessee

   I graduated from Walters State back in Dec.2010. I currently have a job but it was not my first choice. To be honest it was the only job offered after more than 20 applications. Basicly, the market for ADN nurses is way down. Most hospitals are wanti...

4. New grads: Any difficulties landing a position in O.R

   Pooh Bear RN replied to nique281's topic in Operating Room

   I graduated in Dec. 2010 from an ADN program and have found it very difficult to even land an interview for an OR position. Most of the hospitals in my area only want to hire BSN grads so as a ADN grad I took the only thing that was offered. I am hop...

7. Am I still considered a new grad? Please help.

   Pooh Bear RN replied to Pooh Bear RN's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you mbarnbsn and onaclearday for your input too. I understand that this is just an interview at this point and not a job offer (which I hope it leads to). I also understand that I am still in the probationary stage at my current job and would m...

8. Am I still considered a new grad? Please help.

   Pooh Bear RN replied to Pooh Bear RN's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks for your help. I really want this job! I was just afraid that once you accept your first job that you are no longer considered a new grad.

11. Scores On Kaplan Question Trainers

    Pooh Bear RN replied to Amberjo's topic in NCLEX

    Your scores look good. I felt that the NCLEX reflected trainers 6 and 7 the most. Just take your time on 7 and aim for 60%. Try to relax the day before taking the NCLEX and just do a quick review of lab values, infection control and then let your bra...

12. Kaplan VS. ATI for RN NCLEX prep

    Pooh Bear RN replied to sireneya2011's topic in NCLEX

    I would suggest using Kaplan. Tough questions, that I felt were more difficult than NCLEX and the decision tree really helps especially when your completely unsure of an anwser. Best of luck to you and your classmates.

    Pooh Bear RN replied to pinkpaperdoll's topic in NCLEX

    Clee, the PVT trick seems to be accurate. It worked for me and many others on here. All I did was the PVT trick, when I got the good pop up I told myself that I had passed and decided not to do the quick results even though they were available 48 hou...

14. My NCLEX stop at 75q???...is that good thing or bad thing?

    Pooh Bear RN replied to fusion101's topic in NCLEX

    JMO but I think you can gauge how well you do on NCLEX by the number of alternative style questions you get. Those are considered higher level questions and you have a greater chance at missing those, so I don't think it would give many of those styl...
