Thanks for the response. Actually, this other place is the main hospital and is of a different union, which has a contract for a 6:1 ratio that they actually honor. I've done my last clinical (about...

Can you clarify what you meant by not knowing of a hospital that would have a vented patient on a medsurg unit with a 1:9 ratio. Do you mean that it's unheard of (or ridiculous) to have a vented...

I've been working for almost a year in a med/surg floor. I plan on applying to work at a different hospital (but same name/company) in one of their purely medicine units. I've been trying to come...

Thanks a million Bayat. :) This really helped me a lot. I'm unsure which unit I want to transfer to yet. I've had my fill of med-surg and want to learn something new. I just wanted to set up a new...

Ok, not exactly one year but I'm almost there. I recently decided that I want to transfer to a different unit within the same hospital. I needed to rewrite my resume altogether because a new grad...

I will add that I've met nurses who work at hospitals like NYP from a CPR class and continuing education classes. I've found that some of them are travel nurses. This tells me that hospitals are more...

I'm sorry to say it, but CNR's School of Nursing administration is pretty abysmal. They are pretty inconsiderate to their students and at times, quite disorganized. They make preconceived notions...

Yes, I do. It's either both ceil blue top and pants, ceil blue top and white pants, or white top and ceil blue pants. It's for every RN and LPN.

Scrubs have to be Ceil Blue for RNs.

Why can't I be someone who just pretended to be the most passionate nurse at work (who gives excellent patient care and have the skills to boot) because it'll give me a paycheck and yet, still hate...

I just want to say that I got into nursing because I knew that it would pay my bills and might possibly let me meet a hot rich MD. It would be just like Grey's Anatomy! I'd say the crap that I have...

I'm going to be direct with you. The chances of you getting into NYP with no healthcare experience, no externship, nor a preceptorship over there is slim to none. I had plenty from my class who...

Thank you. :)

I recently got a response from a DON a couple of weeks ago telling me that they would be happy to interview me if no current employees apply for the RN positions that they have currently open (since...

I can tell you how to get a freebie retake if you fail. :rolleyes:

It leaves me wondering...in what school can I get a 4.0 GPA if I wrote like that? You have to take at least two required writing courses and a number of other classes that require you to write papers...

(I can't believe that I've just discovered this thread. I totally missed out! :lol2:) I took the NCLEX recently. I did the PVT trick and got the 'bad' popup. I paid for the quick results two days...

The word flummoxed, at this juncture, is an understatement. Your statement about not "lowering your standards" to the people who are quick to judge you is quite baffling, when you yourself,...

The Saunders CD is a good starter for preparing for the exam. I've found the questions to be on a lower level from the NCLEX. However, do aim for at least 70-75% on exam mode. It's a good indicator...

Wow. :uhoh21: First, I'm sorry that you failed your exam for the third time. I've never heard of someone getting a good pop-up from the PVT trick and then getting the CC page a couple of days...

I will add that--according to kaplan--if the time runs out on you and you haven't finished the exam, the computer looks at the last 50 questions. If you any one of them is below the compentency...

Sorry, I've long since deleted it and formatted my usb for other purposes and that's kind of illegal. lol :P I've read your other post. You do have the necessary resources that you need to pass this...
