I would take the NCLEX pass rate into consideration, but definitely not use it as a deciding factor. If the state board does not have them on probation (which happens in some states if the NCLEX...

I agree with a few of the other posters that say to do the right thing. Essentially, there is a double standard where an employer can let you go at any time, and they expect you to give them a notice...

Your local health department is usually your best bet. Immunizations are usually available to everyone (~$10) per shot.

So.... let me get this straight. You are recommending that instead of her talking to anyone for fear of seeming "impatient" or "backstabbing" that she should let her manager know that her schedule is...

As a first step, you should talk to your preceptor, and then go and talk to your manager after that conversation. I would not be surprised if your preceptor did not respond, honestly, she sounds a...

Can anyone tell me what it is like working in Parkland's SICU unit? I currently work on a general surgical floor in a small community hospital, and I would really like to work in SICU at a hospital...

I currently work on a general surgical floor which I am enjoying thus far. However, I have a real interest in taking care of sicker patients which require more in depth care. I am a relatively new...

I agree with island40. I would have politely ignored the question, and emphasized your ability to work PRN. It may very well be that the person interviewing you has had bad experiences with staff...

I agree with the above comment. I am over 30, used to work in HR before going into nursing, and I have a masters degree. I took the masters degree off my resume, although it will go on the...

I absolutely recommend Saunders as a good study companion. I discovered this book during my second to last semester of nursing school and I wish I discovered it my first semester. I would recommend...

I was just wondering if many hospitals are dealing with the issue of there being a low census. For the past month or two, someone (and sometimes even two of us) routinely has to go home from our unit...

Definitely start your new grad job search as early as possible in NC. The recession has definitely made an impact on the availability of new grad nursing jobs. There are many new grads in the...

I would like to find out if current CRNAs felt comfortable expressing their career goals of becoming a CRNA when interviewing for ICU positions and/or while working in ICU with managers or...

Can anyone recommend some good uniform shops for scrubs in Charlotte and the surrounding areas? I am looking for places that have good quality scrubs at competitive prices, or at least have a nice...

I would be very interested in hearing what your orientation/socialization into nursing was like and how it impacted your nursing practice. I am interested in hearing from nurses at all different...

To answer your question, I think that if you would like to have all the different systems and common illnesses associated with them reviewed with you by an instructor/lecturer then Hurst Review is...

I'm not so sure about the last reply. Hurst Review says that you should know her material "without a doubt and without hesitation" before you take the NCLEX. And quite honestly, I would find it hard...

I did a combination of Hurst Review and Saunders. I did the Hurst Review online, which are actually online lectures and then I went and did the corresponding questions in the Saunders book. I also...

I am writing this thread after seeing so many other people feel exactly as I did when I finished the NCLEX. AWFUL.... I passed by the grace of God with somewhere between 75 and 80 questions (I am not...

I agree... you technically do not have to give two weeks notice anywhere, however, you can be deemed ineligible for rehire if you don't give adequate notice which could definitely be a black mark in...

Can anyone even share how they adapted to Nurse Anesthesia school??? And maybe share what were the biggest differences in terms of studying for nurse anesthesia and even preparing for clinicals?

I just finished nursing school and I will begin working in the ICU in February with the ultimate goal of applying to nurse anesthesia school after about a year. I was hoping to hear from some nurse...
