1. thirty patients

   StaceFace1122 replied to strawberryfields's topic in Rehabilitation

   At full capacity I have 32 on third shift while the other shifts have 16. Patients are constantly coming and going so at time it's a little hectic depending on the acuity or if census is high, but sometimes its not too bad.

2. Nursing Home: Tips on how to be faster in med pass?

   StaceFace1122 replied to itsdebraanne's topic in New Nurse

   I have worked in the short-term unit of a nursing home from 11p-7a and have roughly 30 patients. One of my halls is always heavier, and I've found that doing those patients first works better, and then I can breeze through the other hall. I also flag...

3. Loving my new Hospice LVN position

   StaceFace1122 replied to hmiller621's topic in Hospice

   I'm in the same position as many of you. I currently work on a short-stay/rehab unit on the 11p-7a shift. Being a new grad and fresh off orientation I'm still getting up to speed, but finding it difficult with 32 patients. There are so many tasks thr...

4. At what point should you add a job to your resume?

   StaceFace1122 replied to StaceFace1122's topic in Job Hunt

   I wanted to list it as soon as I started so it would look better that I have experience, but I was afraid of a potential job calling them for a reference and them saying something along the lines of "oh, she's only been here for a week so we really c...

5. At what point should you add a job to your resume?

   StaceFace1122 posted a topic in Job Hunt

   Hi everyone! I'm starting my first nursing job tomorrow, which is only PRN right now. I took the job to gain some experience since I couldn't find anything else, in hopes it'd help me land a full-time job. In your opinion, how long should I work ther...

7. Advice for first job in a SNF?

   StaceFace1122 replied to StaceFace1122's topic in Geriatric

   Thank you so much SarahLeeRN! I will definitely explore all of your suggestions, I'm trying to be as well-prepared as possible! I think my orientation is only a few weeks long, which is kind of intimidating, but the DON said that I have the option of...

8. Advice for first job in a SNF?

   StaceFace1122 posted a topic in Geriatric

   Hi everyone! I graduated with my ADN in May and finally landed my first job :) It's a PRN job in a SNF and I'm also waiting to hear about another PRN job in a LTC facility. I originally got into nursing because my grandmother developed Alzheimer's so...

9. New grads Need Not Apply

   StaceFace1122 replied to elisiah's topic in New Nurse

   As people have mentioned, apply for anything and everything! I pass the NCLEX in July and felt like I had applied to every single nursing job in a 50-mile radius at least twice. I took a coordinator position at my current job in the meantime and that...

10. If your 1st career/background isn't nursing, share your thoughts please!

    StaceFace1122 replied to yuna_cry's topic in Career Support

    I got my Bachelor's degree in Forensic Science and was completely set on this being my career. Unfortunately, there weren't many jobs available for new graduates and I spent two years looking to break into the field with no success. Around the time I...

12. Status still Ready for Delivery...almost 24 hrs later

    StaceFace1122 replied to kelaobie's topic in NCLEX

    Have you tried the actual Pearson Vue trick? I've heard of it sometimes saying results are on hold (apparently because of some random reviews?), so maybe that's why?

13. Still waiting for results...

    StaceFace1122 replied to StaceFace1122's topic in NCLEX

    Ugh, I still need to wait a few more hours. I think I might go crazy! I keep trying to tell myself that the state's board might be backed up with people who tested Friday and Saturday, so fingers crossed that this PVT is never wrong!

14. Still waiting for results...

    StaceFace1122 posted a topic in NCLEX

    Hi everyone! This is my first on here, and I feel like I need to post just to keep my sanity. I took the NCLEX on July 2nd and have been getting the good popup ever since then. People that I know have had their license posted on the PA board's websit...
