   DonnaG replied to natbrat's topic in General Nursing

   I live in Northeast Tennessee and the starting pay in the area I work in, which has a level One Trauma ER, is only 12.51-13.08/hr for new grads. The cost of living in NE TN is really high too. A nice house would cost you 210-350 thousand. And I do...

   DonnaG posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

   I was recently offered a job in the new born nursery. I start on the 31st (orientation) and I am kind of apprehensive. I had L&D and nursery in school but I still feel unprepared for the "real world". Can anyone tell me what I will be expected...

   DonnaG replied to spitfire's topic in General Nursing

   Rebecca, Hi my name is Donna. I just graduated in May and my husband went through the nursing program with me. We have one child and are still happily married. If your marriage has survived parenthood it will most likely survive nursing school. L...

   Hi. My test didn't shut off @ 75 it shut off @ 118 questions. And I have had several people that graduated with me in May that had numbers from 75 all the way to 265. I freaked out when mine cut off @ 118 and started to panic. I did pass however!...

   My husband took his NCLEX in June and passed. He had 75 questions and the computer shut off. You probably did fine! Donna ;}

   DonnaG replied to spitfire's topic in MICU

   Hi. I, just like yourself, just graduated and was hired into ICU. I am really scared. My hospital has a great preceptor program and watches everything you do for 6 months. So hopefully your hospital will have a good program too! Let me know how yo...

    DonnaG replied to spate's topic in NCLEX

    I took my test on June the 16th and got my results over the internet in 11 days. I also had 118 questions and still passed. So, I guess the # of questions you have has nothing to do with the results. Donna

13. BSN vs. ADN

    DonnaG replied to goldilocksrn's topic in General Nursing

    I think it is silly to pay someone more just because of the amount of education they have. I mean, if you're on a unit as a bsn doing the same job as an asn why should you be paid a higher wage? I think you should be paid depending upon your experi...

    I just took my test (RN) today and I am sort of nervous about it. My test cut off before 265 but after 75. Has this happened to anyone else? Or did I fail? Thanks! Donna
