   realnurse06 posted a topic in NCLEX

   I took the NCLEX-RN Wednesday July 5th and found out in 48 hours that I passed. Seems like everything was working against me. I stayed up all night listening to fire works (4th of July) and when I did finally fall asleep I woke up again around 3 am w...

    I'm in the exact same situation. Graduate in May, love L&D, offered a position, scared to take it because of what most nurses say about starting in Med Surg. I spoke with the nurse manager in the L&D unit that offered me the position about my...

13. Biggest Payday

    realnurse06 replied to realnurse06's topic in General Nursing

    Although the title is biggest pay day, the question clearly reads "what is your BIGGEST paycheck as a nurse." A pay check is considered salary and this is what I am asking. Just for the record my biggest pay day is the day that Jesus died on the cro...

14. Biggest Payday

    realnurse06 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Does anyone care to share the amount of their BIGGEST pay check as a nurse? I know that most of us chose this career because we love to care for others, but a very good paycheck is always an extra incentive. So with that said, does anyone care to sha...
