   Maybe, you should take a review class?

2. RN Nurse VS Pharmacist

   Sharingan replied to thongvo89's topic in General Nursing

   I think pharmacists have it easier than nurses. Nursing is stressful and physically demanding. Plus, you are exposed to more danger as a nurse as well.

   Sharingan replied to aromarn's topic in General Nursing

   Congratulations on your new job. I hope I'll get to experience the "getting hired on the spot" once I graduate. That would be so awesome!! Thank you for sharing your success story. It is nice to hear some good news especially during this economy.

   Sharingan replied to JoblessRN's topic in General Nursing

   Sorry to hear about your situation. Right now is just difficult to find work period. At my school, the May 09 graduated class is also having a tough time finding jobs. This is actually the first time in almost 70 years that graduated students did not...

5. Is it worth it to take an LVN job in CA prisons when you are a new grad RN

   Sharingan replied to NewGradOakRN's topic in California

   I wouldn't take it if I were you.

6. Not properly trained for ER?????

   Sharingan replied to bassadict69's topic in Emergency

   Many graduated students from my school went right into ER. One is now a clinical instructor. I think it's doable. Of course, as a new grad, anything is going to be difficult no matter where you go. It's all about learning. If your heart is set on tha...

7. Nursing school stress

   Sharingan replied to b_howard's topic in General Students

   Everyone is my class is so stressed out. It's just insane. We're in the second semester of an ADN program by the way. Med-surg is much harder than the fundamental stuff (it just couldn't compare!!). So many people failed the first 3 quizzes and some ...

8. RN with a Master's Degree; what is the salary, etc?

   Sharingan replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Nursing

   I think the main factor (among many) for $$ is the year (and type) of experience you have.

10. Worried about instructors

    Sharingan replied to futurenurseashley's topic in General Students

    Our theory professors were there during orientation and we met all of our clinical instructors second day of class. Though, I wouldn't assume that because they weren't there, they didn't commit to teaching or things like that.

    Good luck everyone!! I'm also going back to school next week. It seems like ages since my last semester (hahaha).

12. 1st med pass did not go so well...

    Sharingan replied to borntobanurse3's topic in General Students

    Sorry to hear that. For us, we would first look at the MAR (to just get an idea about what meds will be given), then we'd go do vital signs/head-to-toe assessment. Then, we'd look up lab values and then prepare meds. We always have drug book with us ...

13. Metal Penis??

    Sharingan replied to Mommy_of_3_in_AL..RN's topic in General Students

    Wow, that's really interesting. Did it look like just a regular penis? I was just wondering cause no one noticed it until you got to the MRI, right?

14. Reading alot of posts discussing "A" nursing students vs "C" nursing students

    Sharingan replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    I too consider C as a failing grade (sorry). Maybe, I am a competitive person/student, I don't know. I just try my very best and earn my A in the classes I take. I know my strengths and weaknesses. Anything that I don't know, I try to make sure that ...

15. Recommendation letter

    Sharingan replied to rnstudent09's topic in General Students

    Normally, you should give the recommenders at least 2 weeks (very minimum) to compose LOR's. Are they aware that there is a deadline? If so, I'd say give them one more week.
