   CoffeePlease posted a topic in Camp

   I suppose I'm going to get some good and some bad feedback from my friends here. I was a camp nurse at a pretty big camp this summer and I decided to come back for their fall season of school age science camp. Now that I'm here, I am counting the da...

2. Ugh. Rejected from dream job

   CoffeePlease replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Job Hunt

   Hey There, I am a year in to my first job as an RN. I didn't get the job I wanted when I graduated, and others (who I KNEW were complete idiots) got the jobs instead. I was heartbroken. It still stings. However, I ended up on a crazy amazing uni...

   I am in the program, and I LOVE it. I used the book with the yellow cover and did well. Take a deep breath, and have a nap. You'll be fine. :-)

   I've been accepted to the program in January as well. I'm really excited because I love the vibe of the school! I talked to a few current students during my application process (I just introduced myself to them in the lobby), and they had nothing b...

7. new grad keep job or quit

   CoffeePlease replied to topacio's topic in New Nurse

   Keep the job for a year. If you have doubts, look in the new grad nurse forums and read all the woeful posts about people who don't have jobs. Look for a new job while you're working, sure. But don't quit.

   I didn't wait to take my NCLEX- I graduated in Feb '11. I was 4.0 student and my resume is perfect. ( I had several resume smarties proofread it for me.) I have a bachelor's degree as well as my LVN and am IV certified. I will work any shift, an...

9. IMPORTANT Pharm Question

   CoffeePlease replied to msnsgstudent12's topic in General Nursing

   Classifications, and the main drug in each classification is what I remembered the most about. Then, remember the other drugs in each clasification. If your class is taught that way, it'll be easier for you. Good luck!

10. NCLEX HELP

    CoffeePlease replied to Cindy 17's topic in NCLEX

    Hi Cyndi17, I took and passed the current version of the NCLEX. 1. First off, relax and breathe. Stress will keep you from thinking clearly. 2. Hopefully you have been in a program that taught you what you need to know, if you have passed your cla...

11. Does nursing school teach you anything?

    CoffeePlease replied to snickerdoodle17_1's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a recent grad LVN and here's my take. Nursing school prepares us to be self-sufficient, lifelong learners. We learn some basic facts at school and how to perform certain tasks. More importantly, we learn how to learn from ANYONE. I am quite c...
