1. This can't be safe at all

   tamara04 replied to theradiantforce's topic in New Nurse

   Take that NICU job and don't look back. 2 weeks is no where near sufficient for orientation for a brand new nurse. That is absolutely ridiculous and shouldn't even be legal. I wouldn't feel bad for you. If you are concerned to the point where you t...

2. Do You Ever Ignore Your Employer's VM When They Try to Call You In?

   tamara04 replied to westieluv's topic in Relations

   I always let it go to voicemail and if I decide to go in (which is rare) I will call back. I NEVER feel obligated to answer or go in. If it is that bad, management could go in. I might actually be more willing to pick up if they were. I have NO gui...

   tamara04 posted a topic in NCLEX

   I can't believe it. I am still in disbelief that I am actually a registered nurse. I took my test on Tuesday 8-28-2007 and my test time was 2:00. After 75 questions that computer didn't shut off so I was certain that I was going to get all 265, but I...

9. How many got only 75 questions?

   tamara04 replied to cindib's topic in NCLEX

   I only got 75 and I am a nervous wreck, it took me approximately 58 minutes.. When it shut off I actually jumped because it scared me. I, like a lot of you, didn't get any metrology questions. Most of my questions were pharmacology of drugs that I' h...
