  3. How'd you get your job?

    You could have all the education in the world, but if you don't know the right people to open the right doors, you won't get very far . . . so basically you got to know people.
  4. Do you give meds without seeing the MDs order if he MAR has been checked?

    I check every med, and it's time consuming but I think it's worth it when you catch errors. . . but now since ya'll are saying you don't i don't know if i should be.. it would save time

    I feel like my floor is a nursing home floor. When I first started out 2 years ago as a nurse assistant it was all cp/r/o MI, which i liked, and all heart problems, but now that i have my rn license... it's where they stick all the confused, disori...
  6. struggling

    I do work night shift, and I'll say this. If day shift has a bad day (for some reason seems like most days), than night shift has a bad night too.. I will say it is a LITTLE less stressful than days cos there's not so many people around, but you stil...

    Does anyone have any experience with MHS Graduate nurse internship program? How does it work? It's the program they put new grads with scholarships in. Also, how does the orientation and such go? Sorry I'm a bit curious. Thanks for your...
  10. Hello there Florida Nurses, I just very recently passed my NCLEX-RN and started applying to hospitals the day after, however, MANY MANY jobs and hospitals require 1 year of nursing experience, and I have none. I was wondering if you ...
  11. Anyone else feels like they failed @ 75?

    So.. how reliable is the "unofficial results" from Pearson? I paid the 8 bucks and My status says PASS!!, that means I passed right? I'm just asking because I'm still in such disbelief, and my name isn't in the BON verification, but I'm assuming tha...

    Hey I took that test on the same day and time! and same state! i got cut off at 75 and had most of those questions too. I feel like I failed though cuz I felt like I was guessing on almost every item. i did the PVT and got the good pop up too, but...
  13. Anyone else feels like they failed @ 75?

    That thread is huge. I've read a majority of people for it to be true, except maybe 2 cases. I'm a bit hesitant because I've done it and it won't let me pay. I think waiting is the worst part. blahh
  14. Anyone else feels like they failed @ 75?

    Haha, That is much easier said than done. When I walked out of the Testing center my proctor thought I was going to pass out. But thanks. Did anyone here about this new format they're working towards in APril?
  15. Anyone else feels like they failed @ 75?

    I just took the NcLex today. I had 75 questions and it shut off. I'm 95% sure I failed because I feel like the questions they were giving me were easy ones and I still didn't know the answer to them. Now I'm terrified cuz I'm scared of this new fo...
