I used to be an Army medic. I decided to get out and go to nursing school. I worked as a patient care tech on a Med/Surg floor for a year before I became an RN on the same unit. I left med/surg after a year & a half as an RN and went into an outpatient pediatric office setting. I absolutely love it!

Ya know, depending on if your floor has WOW's (workstations on wheels, i.e. rolling computers), you might not need to carry all of that stuff in your pockets. My unit has WOWs and they have a small, two drawer unit below the keyboard tray in which I...

Ah yes, those lovely robo-rejection letters. I got plenty of those when I applied to every RN position at MoBap. Then, when it came down to the wire, I didn't get but 1 letter that said something like, "Thanks for your interest in this position. We ...

Another success for the PVT! It worked for me! I took the NCLEX Monday, June 13 at 10am and got 75 questions. I felt pretty good about passing. A few hours later after running my errands, I checked the PVT and sure enough, I got the good popup. Now...

I have to chime in about MoBap. I love it! I've worked there as a Tech since May '10 and now just recently graduated from UMSL last month. Now I'm looking to get a job as an RN in the ED. It's a growing hospital with a strong emphasis on the nursi...
