hi everyone! i'm holli. i took boards on june 13th and passed with 75 questions. i am starting work on july 18th at the only hospital i ever wanted to work for. it is a great pediatric facility! i will be on the (post-op) surgical floor, and we also have all of the endocrine kids. also, they just added an epilepsy monitoring unit, for overnight monitoring and for the brain mapping they are doing. i expressed an interest in that, so they will cross-train me in that unit as well. i can't wait to get started!

Hi, my name is Rebecca and I just graduated in May 2005 from a local Community College, with an ASN-RN. I am training at a 360-bed facility on the isolation floor (we do regular med-surg also, but the rooms are private). I have 2 weeks left of orientation, and I am doing fine and are up to 4 patients. Have even gotten over fear of calling Docs and fear of taping reports. Congratulations to all other new grads, WE DID IT!!!!
Hi everyone. I'm Breanne. I literally just had my first clinical this past week. Although I'm a junior at OSU I'm a first year nursing student (in a three year program). I'm also pre-physical therapy and minoring in disability studies.
Hi everyone! My name is Jessica, and I just found out yesterday that I passed my boards! I'm starting work on Monday on a cardiothoracic surgery unit (this hospital separates medicine and surgery units). I'm quite nervous, and I think I'll be coming to this board often for a bit of advice and support! Congrats and good luck to all the other new nurses!
Hi Everyone, My name is Rachel, I live in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. I took my CRNE (our version of the NCLEX) on June 8th and passed! I worked on a neurosurgery/ trauma floor as a graduate nurse from April to September and then I was hired on to the ICU at my hospital. So I just finished a 7 week theory course and I'm now heading into 5 weeks of clinical in the ICU, then I'll be working there full time.
HI all!! My name is Tina. I just graduated from an LPN program here in Tennessee and found out I passed state boards last friday!! I have been looking for work and I think I may have found a job working in a Peds clinic. Wish me luck!!!
My name is Cary and I passed my boards in July and am about to finish my last two days of "preceptorship" in CCU. I am nervous to go it alone but have had some great preceptors for the last three months. Glad to know that I am not the only one going into some very difficult fields right out of school (and feeling nervous about it) :barf02:and want to wish everybody the best of luck!!!:
my name is dairo... i just recently came to the country and will soon be working on the telemetry unit of a medical center in southern CA...

my utmost gratitude to the hardworking people who keep this wonderful site possible... cheers! :biere:
Hi Holli!! My name is Olivia. I am a LPN in a Long Term Care Facility. I only usually see RN's on here. I received my license July 2004. In 2 months I was promoted to Critical Care Coordinator of one whole unit. This was the craziest thing I could have done but it proved to be a good thing because I learned so much more about nursing than just passing pills as most of the people here would call it. I have experience in management, assessment, Paperwork, and the infractructure of how a long term care facility is ran from MDS' to care plans to the patient, that I would not have had if I would have not taken the chance for this position. I am currently attending the LPN to BSN through the University of Indiana. Still have a long way to go for that but the RN's on here provide me with so much information that I can use for the rest of my nursing career. Thank You so much and it is a pleasure meeting everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello all! I graduated last December, so I'm still quite new to the whole nursing thing. After I finished with orientation and my intership, I got to work on my own. So officially, I really have only been working as an RN for 7 months. I would love to chat with anyone about their first year experiences as a nurse or any other subjects. Looking forward to meeting everyone!
I am Tina, I just started almost 4 months into a LPN 1 year program. I am doing well in most of my studies but do struggle with the NPP1 (critical thinking) Could anyone recommend a NCLEX book or something to help me.
I love school and it has been a bit stressful but in the end well worth it.
