1. Sleep schedules

   Lissla replied to Lissla's topic in Health, Stress Management

   For my facility, orienting on day is beneficial only because I might be asked to come in a little early to help with staffing problems. I work nights now but I sleep so much that I never have time to...

2. BSN Grad - Venting, Frustrated with Job Search

   Lissla replied to katie6126's topic in General Nursing

   Like nutella said, dont rule out nursing homes or long term care. I had too much competition from the recent graduating nurses to land a job at a hospital. I got tired of it and went for the jobs most...

3. Am I cut out for nursing school?

   Lissla replied to sbenson1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   I was in the same boat before I started the nursing program in 2013. I'm still very much an introvert and get shy too. It's something I'm always going to struggle with and yet today I'm an RN. I found...

4. Sleep schedules

   Lissla posted a topic in Health, Stress Management

   I'm very much a night owl and for the next couple of weeks I'll be orienting on day shift. The thing is I never ever feel rested when I wake up no matter how many hours I sleep. Last night I got...

5. First job as a new grad RN

   Lissla replied to Lissla's topic in First Year After Licensure

   Yeah I definitely thought it was weird that I was being considered for "charge nurse" but it makes sense that titles kind of mean different things in LTC. I did have a feeling they were a bit...

6. First job as a new grad RN

   Lissla posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

   So I got my RN license back in beginning of December and have since been looking for a nursing job. I didn't start getting interviews until this month and have been getting rejections left and right...

7. Medical Debt Among People With Health Insurance

   Lissla replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

   My partner has really good insurance through his employer but was hit with a huge medical bill since his insurance wouldn't cover it. They were saying that since his care was not standard of practice...

   Lissla replied to cassieRN13's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

   I took the NCLEX for the second time last Monday. I was a wreck until I got my results on Wednesday. First time through I got around 155 questions. Second time got to 89 and walked out feeling like I...

9. Working while in school?

   Lissla replied to Bb0322's topic in General Nursing

   I worked during my last year of school, BSN degree. At first it was a regular retail job, random days of the week. But then it turned to a Monday to Friday job. Handled it pretty well until exams came...

10. Nursing Pins

    Lissla replied to Lissla's topic in General Nursing

    We only have one option for a pin and its design doesn't appeal to me. If we don't purchase a pin we just get a ribbon. I guess I'd feel more compelled to purchase it if there was an actual meaning...

11. Nursing Pins

    Lissla posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm at that time in the program where I have to think about graduation. And with that, comes pinning. I've heard from one of my instructors that she still has her pin since its a symbol for her. I've...

    Lissla replied to jenny1love's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I know the main campus is very competitive. But if you apply for the Hagerstown campus, you have a better chance of getting in. I'm at the Hagerstown campus and one of my fellow classmates used to be...

14. Professor Tardiness

    Lissla replied to 078207's topic in General Students

    Having a professor late every time would frustrate me to no end. What happened to the idea of the importance of nurses being on time? Maybe she's testing you all to see who's brave enough to say...

15. Does everyone get this but me?

    Lissla replied to leekaye's topic in General Students

    I think there's always going to be those people who can't think that fast on their feet or just don't do well in front of an audience. Me and a few fellow classmates are like that, but it doesn't mean...
