   eerobb replied to AL1992's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Its all in grades, nothing less than an A will compete. I know northern california is taking in upwards of 3.8 GPA. Good luck! Also expand your horizons when you do apply... if nursing is something you really want to do fill out multiple apps to othe...

2. Did you got placed into your preferred field of nursing right after graduation?

   eerobb replied to EatLoveNurse's topic in General Nursing

   It depends on your preferred area of specialty. You have less of a chance to get hired in a place like ER, ICU, peds, NICU, OR; and a better chance with Med Surg or Tele, and a slim but better prospect with maternity. Even if you do not get into peds...

3. Code Brown

   eerobb replied to johnny depp23's topic in General Nursing

   In the hospital I work at ICU nurses do TOTAL patient care, with no care partners. In no way is any nurse "beyond" doing anything to care of a patient. And yes, as others have said there are times where delegation is necessary but you are still respo...

4. At what point do you say enough

   eerobb replied to anewday's topic in NCLEX

   You should be focusing your studies. Make notecards on major things that you still need to review and focus on them. For me I made notecards on infection precautions, labs, meds, and endocrine disorders. You can do questions but I agree with you that...

   eerobb replied to angles wear scrubs's topic in NCLEX

   Make sure you get a book about strategy! The NCLEX is like no test you have taken before, and you need to know how to break down the question to analyze it. Theres lots of good information on here about recommendations if you do a search through the ...

6. Pearson Vue Trick - Poll once you receive your results

   eerobb replied to Silverdragon102's topic in NCLEX

   I wish the two people who said the PVT trick did not work for them would say their story! From looking through all the pages everyone who commented has said that the PVT trick is true. Gymmom- that I believe is the good pop up. The bad is when it all...

7. So, I took the NCLEX-RN yesterday and I'm 99.99% sure...

   eerobb replied to GT-R's topic in NCLEX

   From my understanding it doesnt matter if you got the question right or wrong, its what level of difficulty it was at. If you had proven by that question that you were above the level of passing then the test would shut off either way. Recall and rec...

8. What's your problem???????

   eerobb replied to sasha2lady's topic in Geriatric

   We have problems like this on the floor that I work on. It is a tele floor, and is very hard to keep care partners satisfied on... so it seems like they keep any help they can get. It is so frustrating, and hard to watch when you know patients deserv...

9. NCLEX-How long did you study?

   eerobb replied to MJB2010's topic in NCLEX

   Think of it this way: if (heaven forbid) you did not pass the first time, would you be satisfied with the effort you put into studying thus far? If you think you would look back and know you could have done more, than study a little longer. I feel t...

10. HOW CAN I PROCEED WITH MY CAREER AS A REGISTERED NURSE

    eerobb replied to RNwilfredorios's topic in New Nurse

    The biggest thing is not to limit yourself. Yes we would all love to start at on our dream floor or with our dream position, but right now thats not always possible. Look at places like convalescent homes, MD offices, and possibly military nursing. T...

11. graduating in a year, need advice!

    eerobb replied to criticalRN10's topic in New Nurse

    Definitely start working at a hospital.. one that hires new grads often. Externships and volunteering do give you an "in" and are very helpful. I had a job waiting for me at a hospital I loved because I externed my last year of nursing school. If you...
