1. Question about Cussing on the job.

   nlitened replied to Roda dendron's topic in Professionalism

   And WHY are you cussing at others???

2. Canadian nurse looking to move

   nlitened replied to BeachBum30's topic in Registration

   What part of Florida will you be moving to? I am in South Florida where they no longer hire LPN's in hospitals. But you will find opportunities in nursing homes, home health, rehabs, adult daycares, etc. Start looking for jobs before you move to see ...

3. Wages

   nlitened replied to awall04's topic in Career Support

   You have to look at what the average pay is for your area. I would assume Tennessee is lower than national average, but $17.50 does seem a bit too low.

4. give up

   nlitened replied to floweer1992's topic in NCLEX

   ATI might be the issue. I loved ATI during school because it helped with the actual nursing classes, but for NCLEX prep it is seriously lacking. ATI questions are nothing like NCLEX questions! I always recommend uWorld. The rationales are awesome and...

5. Contracts?

   nlitened replied to Smorra's topic in Career Support

   In my area contracts for new grads are more common than not. I will be signing a 2year contract to work at a hospital I really like, and it's $5,000 to break it. This seems to be standard, however, a classmate of mine just signed a 3year/$10,000 cont...

7. Hep C and titerd

   nlitened replied to CNAgirl42's topic in Career Support

   This may sound like a stupid question, but I really don't know...what is synthetic urine?? And people who use illegal or even unprescribed drugs risk their jobs. So yes, if they find it it may cost you the job. But that is totally out of your control...

8. Hep C and titerd

   nlitened replied to CNAgirl42's topic in Career Support

   Is Hep C something they told you they will test for? Usually it is just a Hep B titer. And when you go in for the drug test bring your prescriptions with you...that way when you test positive for something you will have proof of a legitimate reason ...

9. What is the Registered Nurse Patient Ratio at your hospital?

   nlitened replied to LinenP's topic in General Nursing

   Are these at a real hospital or just what you wish the ratios were???

12. June NCLEX takers

    nlitened replied to jess4923's topic in NCLEX

    Thanks! I studied on and off for a month. My school used ATI (which is Nothing like the NCLEX by the way), Saunders, PDA, and uWorld. I really like uWorld, and highly recommend it...it was close to the questions on the NCLEX. I never focused on score...

15. UWORLD %'s?

    nlitened replied to Joanie49's topic in NCLEX

    If you do a search you will see that the average score is in the 50's so your score is decent. However, focus less on the score and focus more on getting comfortable with the questions and reading all the rationales. Good Luck!
