2. Moving to Day Shift...Advice?

   futurenurse16 replied to futurenurse16's topic in General Nursing

   I've actually done a few day shifts on my floor when staffing allowed me to. The day shifts I worked weren't overly hectic in my eyes and I was able to handle it all. I also oriented for 6 weeks on the day shift before I went to nights off of orienta...

3. Moving to Day Shift...Advice?

   futurenurse16 posted a topic in General Nursing

   Hello all! So, I've been working as a nurse for almost a year on night shift now. I started my job in September 2016. I work on a medicine floor the 7p-7a shift. Nights have been hard for me (sleep schedule wise, diet, emotional and physical health, ...

4. Working Nights is Making me Sick

   futurenurse16 replied to futurenurse16's topic in Stress 101

   Thank you all for your comments. This is my first nursing job. I am a new grad. For sleeping, I have blackout curtains and an eye mask that I use to sleep. When I wake up, I feel all thrown off. I don't feel hungry, but I force myself to eat what I ...

5. Working Nights is Making me Sick

   futurenurse16 posted a topic in Stress 101

   I'm a new grad who just started working nights (7-7) and I am not adjusting well at all. I feel sick all the time. I can't eat. I feel shaky all the time. No matter how much I sleep, I feel exhausted. I keep crying over the smallest things. I'm physi...

   futurenurse16 posted a topic in Job Hunt

   I've been licensed since July 2016 and have applied to almost 100 positions since the day I found out I passed. I've been on interview after interview and everyone has said no. Almost everyone I graduated with in my program has been hired right off t...

   Adelphi does, yes. I believe Molloy College does as well!

8. Nclex in 2 weeks... feeling defeated:(

   futurenurse16 replied to nurseinthemakin01's topic in NCLEX

   The main thing about UWorld is to read the rationales for every question and not worry about the percentages too much. My overall percentage of correct answers on UWorld was 55%. I felt reading the rationales for questions I got wrong and for the one...

9. NCLEX Tips anyone?

   futurenurse16 posted a topic in NCLEX

   Hello all! Well, it's crunch time for me. Got my ATT yesterday and scheduled my NCLEX for July 19th (the next nearest day available, sadly). There are so many resources available and it all seems overwhelming. Any tips on what to do or what to use t...

10. Taking clothes off for a head to toe assessment

    futurenurse16 replied to evelyn305's topic in General Students

    For my lab, the week before we were going to cover respiratory, my lab instructor told us to wear a tank-top underneath our scrubs because we would remove our scrub tops to listen to lung sounds. There were only 6 of us in the lab (7 if you count the...

11. Not too thrilled with my Capstone/Preceptorship Hospital Placement

    futurenurse16 replied to futurenurse16's topic in General Students

    I understand that it is difficult to place students in hospitals. And I'm sorry if my post seems like I'm complaining. I'm very happy to be in my final semester of nursing school after this long and treacherous journey. I'm just frustrated that my sc...

12. Not too thrilled with my Capstone/Preceptorship Hospital Placement

    futurenurse16 posted a topic in General Students

    Today, I got the e-mail I've been waiting all of nursing school to get: My Capstone placement. I was so excited to see where I was placed. That excitement turned to pure hysteria when I saw I was placed at a hospital that I was not expecting. My sch...

13. New student, severe anxiety...

    futurenurse16 replied to Cynthiahatespatho's topic in General Students

    I was in your shoes just last year. All throughout my pre-req classes I was so excited to get started. However, I felt different once I started. I remember two weeks into the semester I wanted to quit because I was nervous about failing and whether I...

14. Holy cow! My book total is how much?!

    futurenurse16 replied to MeiDei's topic in General Students

    I know how you feel. Those nursing textbooks are sooo expensive! I went through the same thing last year and funny thing was that I hardly even needed to open the books! I maybe opened them 4-5 times just to get clarification on a topic, but other th...

15. Do Nursing Students Have a Life?

    futurenurse16 replied to BellaInScrubs's topic in General Students

    Nursing school is very time consuming of course. With all the schoolwork, studying, clinicals, and (if you work) on top of it, it can take a big chunk of your life away that you would normally spend relaxing or with friends and family. However, I've ...
