1. Any advice on jobs in Atlanta?

   snobanda replied to Dulce8's topic in Georgia

   You better waltz on down to Grady. It's an inner city, level one trauma center. It's definitely not for the faint of heart or the weak, but their residency program start anew every month. But it would definitely be a hard place to start working if yo...

2. Should I try or just let go?

   snobanda replied to Dcmom's topic in NCLEX

   I studied about 5 days before the test. Buckle down and just do it. If you can, get a baby sitter or have your partner take the kids with no interruptions for a couple of hours each day( if at all possible). Yes God gave you the babies, but he also g...

3. Should I switch Nursing Schools after finishing my 1st semester?

   snobanda replied to JCast87's topic in General Students

   I say switch. 20,000 is a lot of money for a degree you can't use. You can spend 40,000 and go to a school and even move up and become an advanced practice nurse. Finish off strong and go to a nationally accredited school.

4. Unhappy and Depressed

   snobanda replied to PraiseMariahCarey's topic in General Nursing

   I work in atl and a massive hospital with limited resources. I LOVE what I do. It's hard, it's frustrating, emotionally, mentally, and physically exhausting but it drives what I do and it's so rewarding. I didn't start having that passion until I cha...

5. What kind of watch do you wear?

   snobanda replied to NellieOlsen's topic in Uniform/Gear

   I wore/ still wear an Adidas digital watch. I got it at a fossil outlet store for 20 bucks( 10 with a friends discount!). You can set them so that they run on 24 hour time. If I were you I'd get any digital watch that allows you that function. It hel...

6. who is at fault?

   snobanda replied to pink_shoes99's topic in Relations

   The NP is in the wrong. Regardless of whether your friend was a drug seeker( which I am not saying she is) it is not up to the NP to decide to withhold pain medication. Your friend should say something. She should have made it known when she saw the ...

7. I took NCLEX on 16 July with 87 questions and FAILED it. Need encouragement.

   snobanda replied to RN status awaiting's topic in NCLEX

   Don't rely on your honours and your distinctions. That won't save you when you're in Pearson Vue taking nclex. Sorry you failed. Take a break, cry it out and get back to studying.

8. Failed Nclex PN 4th time very upset, I don't know what to do

   snobanda replied to mmichel26's topic in NCLEX

   First of all, take a deep breath. You may FEEL defeated, but you are NOT defeated. Nclex is a mind game. It's not only about what you know, but it's about how you handle pressure. They will ask you questions you don't know the answer to. Any time you...

   snobanda replied to spring2012's topic in NCLEX

   I actually stopped doing those tests because they were makin me feel stupid. I just did Saunders and once I stopped feeling the pressure and just focused on getting the questions done. Stay calm. Thats the biggest bit of advice I can give anyone. Jus...
