  1. You know the shift is gonna be a hot mess when ...

    When the charge nurse literally comes up to you and says "It's a sh*t show, sorry."
  2. Yeah, That's exactly why I'm so disappointed. :/ I don't want to sound entitled, but I can't help but feel like I'm being jipped. It's ohio. I was under the impression that it's the going rate for a new RN but I feel so poor for the work that I do!
  3. Hey all. A little background about me. I am a new RN with my BSN. I was fortunate enough to land a position as a new grad in an academic medical center. I am on a surgical floor. I received a place in a new nurse residency program an 6 weeks of orie...
  4. What age did you complete your BSN or ASN?

    BSN at 22 :) I turned 22 two months before graduation!
  5. Failed nclex, pls help me if you passed Nclex in 2015

    I just passed my nclex rn on the 2nd. I used u world, Kaplan live review, and Mark klimek live review. I would HIGHLY recommend u world. It is sooo much better than Kaplan. The Rationales are so detailed and you really learn! Plus I was comfortable t...
  6. I PASSED NCLEX-RN! My story and how I did it :D

    I just received my ATT today. I am TERRIFIED! I book marked this post so I can come back and read your inspirational story and quotes :) Thanks so much! Congratulations! God is GOOD! :)
  7. A (Long) Note to New Grads

    Honestly, you have NO idea how much I appreciate this post. I graduate in may with my BSN. I already work in a (very nice) psych hospital as a PCA. I absolutely LOVE it there. I love psych. I believe I would love psych nursing. However, evvveerrryyon...
  8. Hello all! :) Before I begin, I know there's a lot of threads about this topic, and I have read all of them. I still am unsure. :) Long story short, I am a new grad as of may 2015 with my BSN. I have a good chance at getting hired into a hospital th...
  9. Hey everyone :) I currently work as a PCA at a psych & chemical dependency hospital (spring stone). I have heard that when looking at new grad RNs, they look for hospital experience as a CNA/PCA. Will mine count? I ask because it's not technical...
  10. Is it safe for me to start in psych nursing?

    Thanks for the input! I think what everyone said was very valid. My clinical professor for psych told me with her MSN, that she can't get a staff RN job in a typical m/s unit because she doesn't have any recent experience. She told me to absolutely g...
  11. Hey all. I am about to graduate in May with my BSN. I am currently working as a pca/pct at a psychiatric/addictions hospital (spring stone is the company, if you know of them). I love working there, and I am pretty confident that they will offer me ...
  12. An RN pulled me aside today and told me that a resident that I was taking care of last night complained to her family who then called the facility about me. Apparently I was "short" and "mean" to her roommate, but when her roommate was asked if she h...
  13. Snotty fellow CNA!

    Hey all. I need some advice. There is a coworker that I work with that is 17 years old and has been a CNA for about 6 months or so (I have been one for 4, so we're both relatively new.) I keep my thoughts about other CNA's to myself unless there's a ...
  14. Ruby Vee, I am a second semester Junior in a BSN program. 3 semesters to go including this one. :)
  15. That's a good point. Didn't think about it like that. I could have the $$$ if i saved but it would hurt me financially so I was trying to weigh up whether it's really worth it. I don't have much to put on my resume besides clinicals and some CNA expe...
