1. New Grad

   Pednurse21 posted a topic in California Nursing

   Hey y'all. I was a new grad in Texas but only did 5 months before we had to move to Ca. From what I've been hearing from interviews is since I only have 5 months experience, I am still a new grad and...

2. How long did you study for the NCLEX

   Pednurse21 replied to cblossom78's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

   I remember that feeling so well! It wasn’t that long ago for me! It is so nerve wracking. I tried to just take one task at a time. I would say broadly that practice questions at the best...

3. How to be hirable as a New Nurse?

   Pednurse21 replied to amujynya's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

   I agree it is not the PCT skills you get from working as a PCT that matter. It is the experience you get on that unit. You learn if you like that kinda of nursing. You learn time management. You learn...

4. PCT

   Pednurse21 replied to lopezFDTANYaAjj's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

   I don’t know for sure but I don’t see why they would stop you from doing your clinicals there. The clinicals are a contract between the school and the hospital. The hospital tells the school how...

5. Help

   Pednurse21 replied to lt1229's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

   Some programs also allow you to fail once. So like PP said, you have to call to see if they will take

6. ABSN

   Pednurse21 replied to futnurs__'s topic in Nursing Student Assistance

   This may not be what you want to hear but I would check to see if some Of the programs take second tries. IM in Texas but here some programs take your most recent grade in a class, some average the...

7. How to be hirable as a New Nurse?

   Pednurse21 replied to amujynya's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

   I disagree with PP. In Dallas at least, working in a unit specifically the ER or ICU as a Tech definitely gives you a leg up to land a new grad position in that unit. However I do agree with both of...

8. Capstone on a Transplant Unit

   Pednurse21 replied to emma8989's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

   The transplant units I have been on were PCU units. So definitely some critical care experience. I have plenty of friends who had a Med Surg capstone and still got an ICU job including me so it’s...

9. pre-MED SURG Summer classes/courses?

   Pednurse21 replied to ladyinwaiting's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

   If you can find out the book they will be using via a syllabus they gave you or from an upper classmate who has a syllabus and get ahead on outlining the assigned reading, then that could be...

10. How long did you study for the NCLEX

    Pednurse21 replied to cblossom78's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    There is definitely no such thing as studying too early. Some people need a lot of time to build up to answering 100+ questions so they start early doing 25 a day then 50 then 100 and so on. Some...

11. Any advice/words of encouragement ?

    Pednurse21 replied to cheeky's topic in General Students

    Another note to add, at least here in Texas, it is much easier for an ADN to get a job if they are already a PCT somewhere. That floor hires them and then they do a ADN to BSN online program while...

12. Skipping assigned reading?

    Pednurse21 replied to oldie's topic in General Students

    18 chapters in a week does seem impossible. Study group is a good idea but also gonna be hard to coordinate schedules. You could form a Group and just have everyone do outlines and send to each other....

13. I have no medical experience except my BSN, will I still get a RN job?

    Pednurse21 replied to emily_daniels54's topic in Nursing Career

    I know of at least a few girls from my cohort who never had medical experience and still got a job after graduating with a BSN and I’m sure there are many more. If you are hoping for a specialty RN...
