   Willofthewisp posted a topic in General Nursing

   When researching psych hospitals as potential places to work, do I do the same things/ask the same questions that I would at other hospitals to see if it will be a good fit for me, or are there special considerations?

   Hi I will graduate this May with an ADN and then have to move to another state, so I will have to take the NCLEX then. I have already been offered a job in the new location, working as an RN in a long-term care/assisted living facility, shifts ...

5. Best first jobs?

   Willofthewisp replied to StudentRN56's topic in New Nurse

   I am about to graduate myself. I have heard two schools of thought. One is to go med-surg and possibly get into an RN residency. You will be able to use and master all the skills you've learned and it is seen as a pretty good position to be able t...

10. Anyone have good luck with Portage Learning?

    Willofthewisp replied to Papagena's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I asked on one other Portage Learning thread because I'm scared--has anyone else had trouble getting the credits to transfer? There was a college that asked for the syllabus of the course and when I provided it, they told me the chemistry class woul...
