1. Banner New Grad Experience

   Yuweezy replied to bex3's topic in Arizona

   You'll start working night shift with your preceptor from the beginning unless you're ICU. ICU likes to start you off for day shift for about 15 shifts even if you're hired as nights. Otherwise everything is at nights, and you have SIMS lab or orient...

2. Banner New Grad Experience

   Yuweezy replied to bex3's topic in Arizona

   I had an interview and accepted a position at Banner University PCU on 9/18. However, I haven't received any hiring information nor been contacted by Banner HR. How long did it take for HR to reach out to you guys?

3. New Grad Transition

   Yuweezy replied to sweetsabo's topic in General Students

   Hi, I am a new graduate RN. Just a little background of myself: I graduated August 3rd this year, and got my RN license on August 23rd. I just got a job at a hospital on a progressive care unit (step down ICU) and will be starting October 16th. I gue...

4. Already failed three exams in one class! Help!

   Yuweezy replied to mistirenestone's topic in General Students

   I would suggest buying Test Success” and Fundamentals Success” books. They are on amazon or any other websites. I failed my first exam in nursing school and these two books helped me a lot with Nursing style questions. Don't read into the questio...

5. Nursing school stress

   Yuweezy replied to Uc66's topic in General Students

   Nursing school sure is really stressful. Instructors making things more stressful than it already is adds on to it too! I hated my instructors for that. I was a pretty much straight A student during my pre reqs, but I got a F on my very first exam i...

6. RN-BSN or job first??

   Yuweezy replied to emergenceRN17's topic in ADN/BSN

   I don't know how it is in MA, but a lot of hospitals here in Arizona pay for your tuition if you're doing RN to BSN degree. I would say take your NCLEX first, and try to get a job as a RN. I wouldn't recommend working as a tech, because you're not go...

7. Are Online RN to BSN Degrees Looked Down Upon?

   Yuweezy replied to hollyd45's topic in ADN/BSN

   Like the previous comment says, tons of people get their degree through online. It doesn't say on your diploma whether you went to school in person or did it online.

8. Im really scared about first day of clinicals

   Yuweezy replied to dragonhawk's topic in General Students

   I'm assuming your first Clinical is going to be either at a long term care facility or a skilled nursing facility? In my experience most patients enjoyed having nursing students. I don't think I had one patient that didn't want a student doing assess...

9. My classmates using Test Banks in Nursing school

   Yuweezy replied to HalfBoiled's topic in General Students

   I don't really see that as cheating. A lot of textbooks or nclex practice books come with test banks. You learn how to approach problems by reading the rationales and stuff. It kind of preps you for the NCLEX in a way as well.

10. RN Program Combined ALL Classes into One Class, HELP!

    Yuweezy replied to HeatheRND's topic in General Students

    My school in Arizona did the same. First semester was fundamentals + medsurg, second was medsurg + psych, third was medsurg + OB and forth was critical care + peds. The studying style would depend on the person but my school mostly did power point ...

14. Banner New Grad Experience

    Yuweezy replied to bex3's topic in Arizona

    For turning in all the required documents, did you have to go in person for anything at all before your starting day? I'm trying to go on a vacation overseas before I start working. Thank you in advance!
