1. RN applying for CNA position

   rexy replied to wannabemurse's topic in Job Hunt

   I agree with Kdids520. I know this isn't universal, but in my state you can only legally work as a CNA for 30 days after you pass NCLEX. I can't speak for how it is everywhere else, but I just wanted to throw it out there.

2. ATI Fundamental

   rexy replied to RM27's topic in General Students

   I agree that the best thing to do is to know how to answer the questions. I feel like ATI questions have specific characteristics as opposed to questions from other sources. Definitely do all the practice tests, take your time and do not rush through...

3. CRNA vs. Perfusionist

   rexy posted a topic in SRNA

   Hi everyone, I hope I'm putting this in the correct spot. I am still a nursing student, and I am doing some very basic research/exploration on different paths to take with my degree. I don't have a set path in mind, so I'm just asking out of curiosit...

4. Where can I take the TEAS

   rexy replied to juslikeneon's topic in General Nursing

   In my experience, if a school requires the TEAS test for entrance to their nursing program, they usually offer it at their campus and can help you set up a date and time to take it. I woiuld try contacting a counselor or advisor. Good luck!

   rexy replied to derekfitness's topic in General Students

   I am not super familiar with them, but I would say do your research. The money alone is enough to make me wary of it. I would investigate the stats on it and maybe even ask HR reps at hospitals if they routinely hire graduates from there. If I had to...

6. Ouch!

   rexy replied to MJB2010's topic in Uniform/Gear

   Mine killed the first time I wore them, but it got better pretty quickly. I can't tolerate the backless Danskos, though. For some reason those never broke in, they just consistently hurt.

7. Best ADN/BSN program in SFBay? ok to base on NCLEX pass rate?

   rexy replied to CalB's topic in California

   YES!! I have never doubted my decision for a second. I love the faculty, staff, and students. And my student loans will be very manageable.

8. Best ADN/BSN program in SFBay? ok to base on NCLEX pass rate?

   rexy replied to CalB's topic in California

   I live in the Midwest and have no idea about the SF area (sorry!) but I had to respond. I am getting my ADN at a large community college here. I took all my pre-reqs at the same school. I'm trying to be diplomatic here, but I'm not sure there is a wa...

9. Falling short

   rexy replied to RisaRN's topic in Pediatric

   I work as a nurse tech in peds, and I can't tell you how refreshing it is to hear a nurse sound as compassionate, caring, and concerned as you do! So often I see nurses displaying anything but urgency in getting their patients pain meds, or allowing ...

10. Magnet status? Hospitals choosing BSN new grads. Important!!!! over ADN??

    rexy replied to mirc88sl's topic in General Nursing

    I am a nursing student who just finished my first year. I was accepted into BSN and ADN programs, and I ended up going with the ADN. The BSN programs I was accepted to would have required me to take out almost $50,000 worth of loans, which really sc...

11. JCCC RN program

    rexy replied to Charesa's topic in Kansas

    I can't speak for what your schedule will be, as I'm sure it changes every semester and I know that the study significantly affects it as well. But... Here was the general schedule for my first semester: The first 3-4 weeks of the semester we had cla...
