  1. New grad in ICU getting some resistance

    I am also a May 2002 grad who was hired into an ICU. This was the first year they were hiring new grads, and the Director of Nurses at my school told me that she thought it would be a good preceptorship program for me to get into (she even called th...
  2. What do you all LOVE about night shift?

    I just graduated ADN 2002 and you guys make me feel that I made the best choice to take the night shift. I can't wait!
  3. Preferential treatment for new staff

    Thank you for your candid comments in this forum. I am a 2002 ADN graduate who will be starting in the ICU of a local hospital within the next couple of weeks (as soon as I get my letter that says I can take the NCLEX). One of the most important q...
  4. I got the exact same question from some of my family members, why a nurse and not med school? It seemed to me that doctors were always rushing into and out of patient's rooms. I am a very nurturing person and wanted that extra time with the patient...

  11. NCLEX Preparation

    An NCLEX review book is also good to have to study for finals. I have "Davis NCLEX-RN Success" and I like it a lot. It comes with a 2000 question CD-rom that lets you customize your practice tests, and keep track of your progress. I loved the fact...
  12. Please, be honest!

    OK I confess! I have already started studying for next semester, and this semester just ended yesterday. I already know that I have to read 15 pages/day to keep up in Med/Surg. Pretty sad, huh? But I did stay in bed this morning until 11AM, so I ...
  13. The Final Countdown

    Done until Jan 12! Decided to take all three of my finals yesterday instead of spreading them out over three days. Helped my best friend pass her exams which makes me extremely happy!!!!!! She says if we wouldn't have studied together she would h...
  14. The Final Countdown

    Sure wished I would have found you guys sooner! I could have really used this for some venting and encouragement to get through my first semester of the ADN program. I will definitely come back here during my last semester! Countdown to December 17...
