1. Just got accepted into nursing program...

   MedSurgNurse78 replied to Rn 1979's topic in General Students

   My advice would be to definitely look into getting a CNA job. If you can get a CNA position in a hospital that will help you greatly in gaining experience but it will also aid you with getting an RN position once you graduate and jobs for new grads a...

2. Getting ready for Nclex

   MedSurgNurse78 replied to DixieGrace's topic in NCLEX

   I recommend going over your weak areas first and then expanding from there. Also, go over lots of practice questions. I usually did about 100 questions a day and then took some days off. I took NCLEX two months after graduation. The first month I jus...

3. Follow up on interview?

   MedSurgNurse78 replied to Clovery's topic in Job Hunt

   You could always give them a call and just say that you are inquiring about the status of your application. I interviewed for a position in September and didn't end up getting an offer until mid-November. The hiring manager said it was due to RN's tr...

4. advice please?

   MedSurgNurse78 replied to Isitpossible's topic in Psychiatric

   In the end, you have to do what's right for you. I understand not wanting to leave a current position after not being there for very long but you still have to look out for yourself. If you think that you're going to be happy in this new job and it'...

5. Interview damage control

   MedSurgNurse78 replied to stefaniekelly's topic in Job Hunt

   I wouldn't say anything just because you don't want to shed any extra light on it. I don't really think there's much you can do at this point to remedy the situation except just trying to move on from it. So you cried, but you recovered quickly and w...

6. Lost??? need help

   MedSurgNurse78 replied to Krystal2122's topic in Career Support

   Could you work as an MA with the facility where you're currently a CNA? Maybe you could try to get in somewhere as a CNA and then apply for MA jobs?

7. Do you have to be a straight A student to be in the nursing program?

   MedSurgNurse78 replied to Kitesandcolors's topic in Pre-Nursing

   While it depends on what your nursing program requires, definitely don't let not having straight A's stop you from pursuing nursing. I didn't have straight A's an graduated with my BSN. If nursing is what you want to do, then go for it! :)

8. My dream job called six weeks into the job I accepted

   MedSurgNurse78 replied to angrykitten's topic in New Nurse

   I agree, definitely take the interview and see what happens from there. I think you'll regret it if you don't. :)

9. Need some post NCLEX encouragement!

   MedSurgNurse78 replied to NurseInTheMaking3's topic in NCLEX

   Hi there. I pretty much had a lot of the same things happen to me. When I took NCLEX it shut off at 75 and I freaked. I never thought I had it in me to pass at 75 and went in there thinking I'd get at least over 100 questions. I was so upset that I d...

10. Needs advice on a job!

    MedSurgNurse78 replied to Molly12's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I think there is no harm in going for the interview and seeing what happens. Meet the staff and ask for a tour of the nursing home so you can see where you would be working and kind of get a feel for the facility. Following the interview, if they mak...

11. 5th time nclex taker

    MedSurgNurse78 replied to mnelmac's topic in NCLEX

    I used Pearson's and Rationales book and found it really helpful. It's a pretty large book but it basically goes through everything that might be covered on NCLEX and gives you practice questions at the end of each chapter. I pretty much read that en...
