   jessica8302 posted a topic in General Nursing

   I'm a new grad who finally found a job at a LTC/rehab facility. I picked 3rd shift (2230-0630) because I figured I could still be super involved in my kids lives who are 5 and 6. My only problem is this: I have never worked an overnight shift in my l...

4. Anyone , ATI tutor

   You pay for it. Most of mine was included in the cost of books when I started nursing school. The virtual tutor I had to pay out of pocket.

5. Depressed Lvn grad

   jessica8302 replied to nursejenna4u's topic in LPN/LVN

   You aren't alone! I got my RN license last month in NC and have zero luck finding a job. Hospitals are hiring just a handful of new grads. I go to interviews at LTC facilities and they tell me I should work in a hospital as a new grad. I've even had ...

6. Before Nursing School

   jessica8302 replied to Casha9's topic in General Students

   Totally agree! Do everything you love and be with all your friends and family. Nursing school requires your full attention. Don't worry about brushing up on anything, that comes with the studying. Enjoy your free time, make memories, and have fun! I ...

   Definitely going to check into that. I would love to work telemetry so that's perfect. Even better that I don't need experience. Thinking of doing an ECG class too.

10. New Grad=No experience HELP!

    jessica8302 replied to jessica8302's topic in Job Hunt

    I also choose not to work because I knew I would not have much time for my 2 small children and I was not about to sacrifice that. I know I'm sure that sounds stupid too but I will never regret that decision.

12. Freaking out!!!!!

    jessica8302 replied to jusalillady16's topic in NCLEX

    I recommend ATI. I used the Saunders book during nursing school but felt it was too much to look over for the nclex. Do a self assessment on all areas. Study your weaknesses and just quick review what you know. SATA are really not that bad once you k...

13. Tips on passing the NCLEX? Study plan for 6 weeks out?

    jessica8302 replied to HappyRN3's topic in NCLEX

    I recommend the ATI virtual tutor. It is $275 and you get your own personal tutor. Everything is online and it is a structured lesson plan. It I worth every single penny. The lesson plan is also structured to the time you are able to put in it. It al...

15. NY Med (TV Show)

    I really like the show. It don't really think it's a reality show. I would call it a documentary. It gives a great insight into a really amazing hospital.
