2. Marshfield Clinic residency

   jaluo2014 replied to Takethatfordata's topic in Wisconsin

   To OP, do not listen to anyone trashing Marshfield clinic organization if they have never worked there. I completed my Critical Care Nurse Residency in Feb this year (2017) and it was a great experience. Currently working in one of the ICU. As you kn...

3. Dude I'm scared

   jaluo2014 replied to Rslopez.health's topic in Male Students

   Here I am, with no hospital experience, straight from ADN program to ICU where we have critically ill patients. I did go through critical care nurse residency though. But that's because I wanted to work in the critical care unit. My self-esteem is to...

4. To all current NP's. What drove you to become one? Advice? Etc?

   jaluo2014 replied to Oxygenforeverybody's topic in NP

   In 2014 when I first joined AN, I was about to start my ADN but I had my eyes set on becoming a Nurse practitioner. Nothing wrong with that. Because of my long goal, I had to do ADN and BSN general studies at the same time. No summer break or any bre...

   jaluo2014 replied to Ashtimus Prime's topic in Doctoral

   I am planning to buy a house out of cash worth $80K, I completed my ADN and BSN with zero debt. Worked hard to pay my fees, I applied to all scholarships and grants offered. I will be starting my DNP in the Fall-2017 employer sponsored plus I have to...

6. How long did it take you to take the NCLEX?

   jaluo2014 replied to whatwasithinking75's topic in NCLEX

   I used Quizlet for review. It took me 2hrs 40mins for 75 questions. English is my 2nd language, and it takes forever for me to understand this language, especially with NCLEX type of questions.

7. My NCLEX Experience 7/6/2016

   jaluo2014 replied to Semper Fi Nurse's topic in NCLEX

   I did my exam also on 7/6 and it was the easiest exam I have ever done. I was afraid the questions were below the standard. I did PN-NCLEX last year and it was really hard and if I had to grade myself, may be I got a 30% but I passed anyway. This RN-...

8. I need a mentor

   jaluo2014 replied to Ginger702's topic in General Students

   Here is what helped me graduate with honors. I depended on NCLEX quizlet. I really did not open any text book to read. I recorded every lecture (attended all classes), some instructors will set exams based on what they teach only, some will set exam ...

9. I failed my school drug test. Am I finished forever?

   jaluo2014 replied to Breatholife's topic in General Students

   @Heathermaizey. Well done reply. I wish I was raised in a sugar coated environment.

10. I failed my school drug test. Am I finished forever?

    jaluo2014 replied to Breatholife's topic in General Students

    These are your words," I don't smoke much" Well, what do you mean by I don't smoke much? If I were in your shoes, I would not talk about completing nursing school rather take responsibility and search for help on how to stop marijuana use or anything...

11. Breakups during nursing school.

    jaluo2014 replied to Linexox's topic in General Students

    I will be done with my 3rd semester on 15th this month. 6 students in my class broke up with their husbands/boyfriends, 5 of the six failed to make it to the 4th semester and only one made it through. There is a better road besides a bridge, you can ...

12. Should I let my interviewer know that I had failed the NCLEX twice before passing?

    jaluo2014 replied to nursechansey's topic in Job Hunt

    Before I open my mouth to speak or dwell in the oops! situations in my life, I would fill the room with positive things about me and what I can offer to my new employer. Employer would like to know somehow your weakness, but how you overcome it means...

13. How do I proceed with my nursing career

    jaluo2014 replied to OlgaChikaka's topic in Job Hunt

    @Olgachikaka. Congratulations for your accomplishments. I know how hard it is for nurses back at home (Africa) to find a job. Having a plan B is important for your future career but it comes with variables. I have several friends in Dubai but they sa...

15. Are 2nd semester nursing students considered CNA's?
