1. Be the Nurse You Would Want As a Patient

   rs02011988 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Rock

   I have also been a patient numerous times throughout my entire life (I am 25 now). I usually was in a children's hospital, but the nurses were always excellent. I actually think they were a big part in why I decided to be a nurse. The thing that I al...

2. Nurses who never worked in the hospital?

   rs02011988 replied to cannonball59's topic in Career Support

   I am a recent grad and never worked at a hospital. I was lucky and got a great job as a public health nurse our county's health department. My work primarily involves home visits and office work helping child with chronic medical conditions. I also h...

3. Did I just made a mistake by declining an interview?

   rs02011988 replied to miniangel729's topic in Job Hunt

   I would have done the interview if only for the practice! Interviews can be scary and it would have been nice to practice your answers to those tough questions. Once I went to an interview (as a new grad) and the job turned out to be for a RN positio...

4. Are there really enough jobs???

   rs02011988 replied to raspysunny's topic in Job Hunt

   Bouncing off of someone else's idea of thinking outside the box....what about public health nursing?

5. Not sure how interview went --> was not asked any typical questions.

   rs02011988 replied to loveoutloud's topic in General Students

   I don't think they would show you around the center if they weren't SERIOUSLY considering you. I worked at a daycare center and they did the exact same thing to me during my interview! They did ask a lot of questions, though. Then they took me around...

6. Failed NCLEX-RN for the 3rd time

   rs02011988 replied to mlak's topic in NCLEX

   yumurcak--- (i think you are asking me?) Yep! I enjoyed the lectures, the worksheets she asks you fill out realllyy helped. I then rewrote all of it on blank sheets of paper real small- because thats what I did in nursing school (haha idk why that he...

7. Failed NCLEX-RN for the 3rd time

   rs02011988 replied to mlak's topic in NCLEX

   I passed my NCLEX on the 2nd time. I used the Hurst program and I promise that it saved my life. It was costly, but I felt like it was completely worth it.

8. How to stand out as a New Grad?

   rs02011988 replied to GetErDone's topic in General Students

   A lot of the students that were in my class were PCAs at the hospital. I think that helped them get their foot in the door and it also helped their skill level. I did not want to be a PCA. Instead I chose to find more unique part-time/summer jobs tha...

9. I failed my NCLEX...what do I do now?

   rs02011988 replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in NCLEX

   I failed my first time, too. It was hard to take in, but it doesn't make you stupid or less of a person or anything! NCLEX is hard! I used kaplan in school and never really loved it. After I failed I looked for other options. I used the Hurst review ...

11. Got the Job!!! (Health Dept.)

    rs02011988 replied to wife&mommyRN's topic in Public/Community

    I love my phn job, too! I started working here December of 2011. It is my first job right out of college. It is exactly where I am supposed to be. I don't mean to sound like a baby, but I couldn't do 12 hours shifts! The autonomy is glorious. The pay...

12. Why many new grads don't find jobs....

    rs02011988 replied to MN-Nurse's topic in General Students

    I just wanted to input my two cents here. I did not want to be a CNA, personally. I didn't think it could fit into my life while I was in nursing school. I know that they would be flexible with hours, but I also know me and I knew I would pick up ext...
