2. Let's introduce ourselves...

   AZcardiacRN replied to pedi-RN's topic in New Nurse

   Hi Jay, I'm Jenny. I too graduated in May and I am starting on a cardiac (tele) floor. I also would like to work my way up to ICU (cardiac or trauma). I'm still pretty new to allnurses.com, but so far I've enjoyed surfing through it. I find it helpfu...

   AZcardiacRN replied to pedi-RN's topic in New Nurse

   Hi Holly and faith123, I wish you both luck on the NCLEX. If you want any advice, I would say to take a review course such as Kaplan or Medspub as well as purchasing a content and review book. Of course everyone studies differently, but if you want a...

   Hey Cloud 9- Congratulations! I am so happy for you! It is such an accomplishment to pass the NCLEX, and you totally deserve an applause for your dedication and determination. I took my NCLEX recently and it's still fresh in my mind, so I think I kn...

5. How did you react to your first code?

   AZcardiacRN posted a topic in General Nursing

   From the time I was in nursing school up until now (as a new graduate RN), I had never seen a code. Today for the very first time, I did not just see one code, I saw two and they happened to be right next door to each other! I know that I should have...

6. Abbreviations List

   AZcardiacRN replied to 3girlsandababy's topic in New Nurse

   First off I can tell you that Med-Surg means a medical/surgical unit and per diem means that you work "on call" and that you work less than part time (or that's how it is at my hospital anyway). For other abbreviations that come up you can always goo...

   AZcardiacRN replied to pedi-RN's topic in New Nurse

   Hi Holly- I'm Jenny. I passed the NCLEX on June 26th and started my first week as an RN last week! I feel kind of lucky that I'm starting as a new grad RN with a group of 50 other new grads, but it still feels scary. So far I've been doing so much cl...

8. Impossible loan situation...

   AZcardiacRN replied to apnea's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Sounds like a very difficult situation. Is there anyone in your family that could help you out? Have you tried applying for scholarships at your school or through the nursing program? Financial aid offices usually have awesome people who know of ways...

9. OMG!!! Has anyone only gotten 75 questions?????

   AZcardiacRN replied to kimo's topic in NCLEX

   I took my NCLEX a month ago and passed with 75 questions. I found out the very next morning, but it was tough to wait. I'm sure you've probably passed considering how much you've studied for it! In fact, all the friends that I heard had only 75 ques...

    AZcardiacRN replied to Trvln Nurse's topic in Humor

    This actually just happened on Friday- As part of my orientation process, I went to a dialysis lab to observe the RNs and the hemodialysis patients. A few hours into one of the patient's dialysis treatments, a team of MDs came in to talk to a patie...
