HI~ I have these and they are my favorites! ALEGRIA DEBRA FRIENDS So comfy and super cute and like another poster with her Alegrias mentioned, TONS of compliments. I also have black patent...

Not only do you have to complete a full time two-year program, but you still have to take the SAME nclex test as BSN prepared students. Nothing automatic about that--still lots of hard work. One of...

Having an ADN doesn't convey any kind of licensing, just because you graduated from a program. You still need to take a licensing exam to work as an RN, whether you graduated from an ADN program or a...

I love the Dickies GenFlex--flattering fit, lots of handy pants pockets, there is even a spot for the phones we carry and places for pens and scissors on the pocket outsides, within quick easy reach....

It's a brand, thirty- one :)

It means if after your test, you go home and try to re register for the exam at Pearson, and it won't let you, that means its because you passed :) Good luck!

I am not sure of their half life, but in my experience when I have done drug tests for employment it offers a chance to disclose meds you have taken. It is a chance to reveal, ahead of the drug...

I live in Tucson AZ, graduated in May 2012 from an ADN program. I was hired into a new grad program in the ER 1.5 months after graduating and can also say that a good number of friends in the same...

I hate to say it but this sounds like something you need to run from--that sounds downright scary and i feel bad for the picture you painted for those residents. I agree with the first poster to not...

I think I can relate to where you are at....I had problems as a new grad in the ER I was hired into, also feeling lucky as a new grad to get the chance. I was there 5 months and nearing the end of...

Have you done any research on the hospital that you could use to support your desire to work there? Such as magnet status, teaching hospital, special accredidations in areas you are interested in,...

I initially responded to your post and indicated I agreed you should have the opportunity to have your own patient load, but should clarify I meant under the guidance of an RN. When I had my own...

Hi~ I am curious to know what kind of unit you were hired onto? That seems ridiculously short to me and I don't see how they can expect you to succeed and absorb enough in 1 week, I presume 3 12 hr...

Hi~ I'm sorry this has been your experience. My understanding, and personal experience, was that this is the time to gear up to a full load in preparation for graduation and a realistic patient care...

Hi all~ I just want to update you on what has transpired. I gave my notice a few days after my original post, which my manager readily accepted. I met with her the following day to review what she...

I think if you want cardiac step down and can get into it, to go for it, you have nothing to lose for trying, and since you had clinicals on a step down unit, you know what to expect. I am a new grad...

Perhaps a birth center might have what you are looking for although i think couplet care only exists in a hospital for the duration of the stay after the birth. If you worked with midwives you might...

I, too, thought SOB after reading through the choices. The pt could have a life threatening PE, plus airway is #1 focus over chest pain. I would say SOB, chest pain, Pain, family member wanting...

I have had some ongoing troubles during my new grad orientation, that I have previously posted about, regarding lack of guidance and proper training...being put into unstable high acuity patient...

Thank you Stargazer, it really is as you describe and I agree with you 100%. I wanted to prove I was up to the task, and gave it 100% but in the back of my mind felt it was unsafe for patients to...

Way to go!!

Wow pedsEDRN, that is a fantastic program you got into--way to go! Not much has changed for me. My orientation was extended, but it feels a bit of a sham because when I work with my preceptor she...

I know this is an old thread but I am curious to know what the outcome was--OP, you out there and able to update us?
