1. Can unexperienced nurses be hired PRN, or is it unlikely?

   regrebs replied to regrebs's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you for all of your input. You're all right in that being a part-timer will prolong my inexperience. I've applied for more full-time jobs and hope something comes through. :) After all, from what it seems like, many of the nursing jobs in m...

   Thank you for moving my post! Didn't mean to post it under Nursing News.... Oops

3. Can unexperienced nurses be hired PRN, or is it unlikely?

   regrebs posted a topic in General Nursing

   I've been looking for part-time work because I'm furthering my degree (have an ADN, just got into an RN-BSN program) and want to focus on school while I'm young and can get away with not needing a full-time job to make a living. I've applied for som...

4. Need urgent reply, please help. Regarding NCLEX acceptable identification.

   regrebs replied to regrebs's topic in NCLEX

   The renewal slip was, in fact, enough to get in. I wasn't even questioned about having a "real" license. I told the woman there that my new license hadn't come in the mail yet, handed over the renewal slip, and was allowed into the exam room. I apo...

5. Do you like the uniforms they give you for your school?

   regrebs replied to prime11214's topic in General Students

   Our weren't too bad. Sky blue tops and bottoms, any brand, with white shoes and socks. The other nursing school in our area had to wear all white. Poor guys!

7. Nursing & Spanish

   regrebs replied to inthespotlight7o's topic in General Students

   I can't even begin to tell you how much being a Spanish speaker would help you in the workplace. The more languages you know, the better! I live in an area heavily populated by Spanish speakers and, being just an English speaker, always found it ex...

8. New Nursing student

   regrebs replied to jameslfaught's topic in General Students

   If you're able to take a medical terminology class, then I'd highly suggest it. Med term was a required course when I was a freshman in high school, and I can't begin to tell you how much it helped me throughout high school and nursing school. I sa...

9. Anyone worried b/c you did RN and not BSN?

   regrebs replied to Chris99mu's topic in General Students

   I went for an ADN because my college was more convenient than going to the university providing a BSN, and while I was worried at the beginning, I decided to get into an RN-BSN program right after graduating, then go for my MSN. I'm working on my BS...

10. How did you celebrate your nursing school acceptance letter?

    regrebs replied to northmississippi's topic in General Students

    Took a deep breath and smiled.... :)

11. Preparing for preceptorship

    regrebs replied to kalabaw's topic in General Nursing

    i think this is very insightful. there were some skills that i was insecure about at the beginning of my preceptorship, but i made it clear to my preceptor that what i lacked in experience, i'd make up for with my willingness to try. there are skil...

12. How to go about saying thank you to your nurse?

    regrebs replied to magn1jes's topic in General Nursing

    Congratulations on your new little bundle of joy. :) Like EMcGrady said, I would ask the hospital about flower delivery. A thank-you note and little gift of appreciation go a long way!

13. Having a bad preceptorship experience. Need encouragement.

    regrebs replied to regrebs's topic in General Students

    Congratulations on almost being finished with your preceptorship! For a while there, I didn't think I'd make it through mine, but I certainly did and have my RN license now. If I can do it, then anyone can. :) On to your main concern, I'd personal...

    Hello, nurses! I am leaving tomorrow to take my NCLEX on Tuesday and am worried that I won't be allowed through the doors. My TX driver's license expired, so I renewed it a few weeks ago. It has yet to arrive. I don't have a state ID or an unexpi...
