1. When I Was a New Grad . . .

   ninejams replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

   I will save this and read it each time I feel like crying over my inadequacies! It's not even like I wasn't taught or I haven't studied all these things in nursing school, it's just that --- I'm a real new nurse working on my own now! Thank you for t...

2. New LPN, this is HARD. Need advice.

   ninejams replied to dsomday's topic in Geriatric

   I'm on the same boat as you. Luckily, I'm not taking any charge nurse duties until they determine I'm ready. I'm a med nurse with 60+ clients. All of the nurses in this facility have been telling me to just keep asking questions and one day I'll get ...

3. Help please! am a new nurse.

   ninejams replied to honeylove_joy's topic in International

   Search "bls for health care providers houston tx" in Google and you'll come up with results. Or also search the AHA (American Heart Association) website for CPR. If you do an actual job search for RN, you will find all the requirements they need. "t...

4. Help please! am a new nurse.

   ninejams replied to honeylove_joy's topic in International

   You're welcome! Just remember to focus and follow up. Don't do what I did! :) Be consistent studying everyday and set up a plan that is reasonable for you to follow. Don't take more than two days taking a break from studying. Once you take the NCLEX...

5. Advice for a New Grad RN After Quitting job/ Orientation after 5 & 1/2 months

   ninejams replied to DonovanRN's topic in New Nurse

   I would say that you had issues with the personnel and staff that you worked with and make up a similar story, that if you were a nurse recruiter, you would buy it. Don't mention anything else.

   ninejams replied to honeylove_joy's topic in International

   Hi. I was in the same spot as you, but I never took the Filipino Licensure exam and took the NCLEX-RN right away. You're doing the right thing as far as researching on things you should do until your papers are done and you're ready to sit for the NC...

   ninejams posted a topic in NCLEX

   Has anyone heard of this site? Has anyone used this site and passed the NCLEX RN exam? Just curious, there's not a lot on the web about this site or if it's even legitimate. Thanks.

10. how to use saunders ? Please help me

    ninejams replied to AmyD_RN's topic in NCLEX

    Hi! Kaplan is best for test taking strategies and rationales.. lots of good tips on how to memorize info etc. BUT, you will be studying on your own until you get to the live classes. I still don't understand why we had to use two books (the basics a...

11. Government classifies nurses as 'unskilled workers'

    ninejams replied to karensflowers's topic in General Nursing

    From reading that statement, "if you can call nurses unskilled".. I don't think they were actually referring to nurses as unskilled, but more of an ironic statement, that makes nurses unique to have this type of visa. I guess they are doing this beca...

12. sent home by u.S immigration

    ninejams replied to FELICCI's topic in International

    I have some good stories about friends who have flown to the u.s. just to have their babies born here, and even to take their nclex. IT's possible, but you do need to have a valid visa. It's going to be a matter of luck if you don't have one.

13. Thread for Filipino Nursing Students

    ninejams replied to purply_hazy's topic in Philippines

    They probably thought you were doing the Kaplan in the Philippines. I took the one in the Phils and we don't have that online thing. If you are currently taking your kaplan in the U.S. then you should be taking the Kaplan program for domestic nurses....

14. work abroad w/out experience.. possible?

    ninejams replied to bajoy's topic in Philippines

    Which hospital is this and where, if I may ask? I'm trying to help my friend find a hospital that sponsors nclex passers. Thanks. :)

15. does nevada require toefl/ielts for foreign grads

    ninejams posted a topic in Nevada

    Does nevada require toefl/ielts for foreign grads BEFORE they can take the NCLEX? I called the Nevada BON and they told me they only need the CES. There's no need for the TOEFL/IELTS. I'm an immigrant, btw. But i'm getting mixed answers and now i'm c...
