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...

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...

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...
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...
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...

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 ...
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...
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...
I loved the hurst review, it was so helpful. I am sorry to hear about your test Take a break and relax a little, then get back on the horse! you can do it!
