   mlss94 posted a topic in Relations

   Hey everyone! This is a half vent, half needing advice post. I promise to get to the point though! Well I'm a new RN working only less than 3 months off of orientation. I come to work one night and assigned a very combative pt in bilateral restraints...

   Thank you everyone for your advice so far! I've started doing the Lacharity PDA book and it is really great! I do the questions and make notes on them. I'm getting Uworld next week! Those seemed to have been the most advised to use. I also got the NC...

5. My NCLEX Experience: Preparations, Study Tips, and Acing the Exam

   mlss94 replied to lilmonsterkray's topic in NCLEX

   I understand your point. I truly wish I had the family and friends to do that, but I don't. It is not that I want to go "as cheap as I can." I'm honestly forced to. I need resources that actually work that won't cost me an arm and a leg because I can...

   mlss94 replied to lilmonsterkray's topic in NCLEX

   Well the thing is my school's cohort behind me was a passing rate of 73%. The faculty and staff were of course freaking out because our pass rates in the past have always been around 90%. I have no idea what happened with that cohort but one day a co...

   Hey everyone! I'm a senior nursing student and I'm pretty broke right now. I graduate this December and I've already accepted a job. I have spent all my savings on a new/old car when my first car died on me and vet bills for my cat when she got a bow...

9. Four Year Contract

   mlss94 replied to mlss94's topic in Career Support

   If anyone wanted an update I chose to not go with this hospital that wanted me to sign a 4 year contract. I thought very hard about it but I realized I could not bring myself to sign a 4 year contract. Partly because I had an interview at another hos...

    I'm on a super tight budget and I'm graduating this December! This post helped me feel a little bit better on not paying for a review like Hurst. Still pretty anxious! I'm starting to study now! I NEED to pass the first try and I'm TERRIBLE at standa...

12. Four Year Contract

    mlss94 replied to mlss94's topic in Career Support

    Thanks so much everyone! I think doing the interview and having them under my belt wouldn't hurt! But I will explore my options because I believe I could get paid a little bit more at the hospital next to Memorial and just sign a year contract. Howev...

    So I'm graduating December 2016 and all summer I've worked as a PCT/Tech/CNA at a hospital in Savannah, GA (Memorial). Anyway, I like my job for the most part. It's float pool but my supervisor lets me preassign to units (if the unit likes you enough...
