1. Love the Job, Hate the Environment

   WarrenpeaceRN replied to Stephalump's topic in New Nurse

   I'm 2 years into my first nursing job. I work on an acute psych unit. I love working with the patients and the doctors. Working with the other nurses is another story. Most are bitter, passive aggressive and the unhappiest bunch of people I have ever...

2. Psychiatric Emergency! Fumbling Syringes?

   WarrenpeaceRN replied to Angeljho's topic in Psychiatric

   It is definitely performance anxiety for me more then the out of controlness of the situation. My fear is to mess up in front of a crowd of people. I also have a fear of hitting the person's sciatic nerve. I sometimes have a problem spotting the land...

3. Decompressing - HELP - 23 yo RN in distress! LOL

   WarrenpeaceRN replied to margotnurse21's topic in Psychiatric

   Interestingly, it wasn't the patients, doctors or general staff that made my first year as a nurse (in psych) complete hell, it was some of the other nurses! Here are some suggestions (other than all the good stuff already recommended above): - See i...

7. Kingsborough NLN score 2009

   WarrenpeaceRN replied to nur18's topic in New York

   Are you absolutely sure the percentiles aren't listed? My composite was 147 and my percentiles were: verbal - 99; Math - 87; Science 97. My GPA was about a 3.3 (I have a BA). According the the NLN, most composite scores are between 50 - 150, so you ...

   Sannart, Loba is probably correct. I would hope they look at the entire picture. A 4.00 certainly says a lot more about your abilities and dedication then one test. If you don't get in, which I doubt, make a fuss.

12. Kingsborough CC Pre-Clinical

    WarrenpeaceRN replied to Jets272's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Sci 25 isn't bad at all, especially after A&P I & II. The professor is fantastic...one of the best I've ever had (I have a BA already, so I've seen my share of the good and bad.) With your engineering background, it should be a breeze for you...

13. Kingsborough CC Pre-Clinical

    WarrenpeaceRN replied to Jets272's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Hi I'm in the same program. Speak with George Nicolades (not sure if I have the right spelling) in the Allied Health office M401. He's a good guy, a real student advocate and has been a great source of information and assitance. From what he told me ...

    Hi Sergei I'm not sure where you live. I'm in the pre-clinical nursing program at Kingsborough Community College in Brooklyn. There are more than a few Russian immigrants in my classes, and they are doing well from what I can tell. Check out the King...

15. Considering nursing as a career change

    WarrenpeaceRN replied to rnckr's topic in Men

    I am a 48 yr old man who left Wall Street (I also managed a call center a few years back) in August 08 to study nursing. It's a little complicated how I came to the decision, but part of it had to do with caring for a family member with Alzheimer's o...
