    How long did it take you to get your first RN job?

    I applied in January of my last semester, interviewed in March, got the job offer two days later. I graduated in May (and took the NCLEX a few days before that) and will start my new position the first week of June. I was a tech there for over a year...

    ATI RN Comprehensive Predictor

    I got a 96% the first time and a 97% the second time. I took the NCLEX a week later and passed with 75 questions.

    As a corrections nurse...

    I didn't mean I would be offended at someone educating me, period. I said I would be offended if a CO-WORKER tried to educate me. It's none of their business and I find that offensive. And as I said, most of the nurses I know working the floor have m...

    Reaching out to those who applied for jobs before NCLEX

    I got a job where I currently work as an aide about a month ago. I take the NCLEX on Tuesday and I graduate officially on Saturday. My official start date will depend on when my transcripts officially post (assuming I pass the NCLEX), but will likely...

    As a corrections nurse...

    I know this is slightly off topic, but as a person having had diabetes for 21 years, I would be highly offended at a co-worker attempting to educate me on my diabetes. With the possible exception of diabetes educators, I find nurses to be blissfully ...

    Wedding rings at work

    Back when we bought our wedding rings, about 15 years ago, we had a diamond of my grandmother's put into a setting. I specifically requested that the set the prongs low so they would be less likely to catch on things (I worked retail back then). The...

    Hypoglycemia

    I had one a long time ago that normally tested blood sugar, but also sort of tested your Hba1c level, except it was more of a 1 month average supposedly instead of 3ish. I'm sure there are meters out there that could give you results in either measur...

    Work a hard job as a PCT, or stay at my cushy jobs?

    I grew leaps and bounds as an aide while in school. I don't believe I would have grown to that extent if I hadn't been an aide. I highly recommend it. That being said, I quit an awesome cushy job making $20 per hour, guaranteed 8 hours a week. With ...

    Hypoglycemia

    I don't think meters will read that low. Under a certain number, they usually just read "LOW." Must be a mistake.

    Sitter breaks

    It doesn't matter if the person is sleeping, or if they are combative. It's NOT easy. Sitting is the last job I want to see beside my name on the assignment sheet. I can't stand to be isolated in one room for 12+ hours. It's awful. Period. And perha...

    I need pinning ceremony ideas!!

    I would assume business casual, or interview attire would be appropriate...? As far as having more pins, personally I don't see a need for that. I'm having my husband and two sons pin me and that will basically consist of my husband pinning me & ...

    Teaching project on diabetes

    One that has stuck in my mind for the past several years is the carbs in a baked potato vs. a brownie. Back then it blew my mind that a potato would raise my blood sugar more than a brownie. When I was diagnosed though, they didn't teach about carbo...

    Teaching project on diabetes

    Choosemyplate.gov is much simpler to understand & teach than the food pyramid. And a diabetic doesn't necessarily need a special diet, but a healthy diet which is true for everyone. I would stress choosing complex carbs over simple sugars and ...

    Hired at current hospital?

    Yes I'm well aware of the fact that I shouldn't talk about future career goals. Thank you though! I've done my research several times over. I find as much (or more) satisfaction in the "planning" stages as I do in the "doing" stages :) I also have a ...
