  1. Urgent Care Qualifications

    Lipoma replied to jrt4's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    I interviewed at a UC as a new grad and the only qualifications they required was RN and BLS. They did have ACLS equipment like intubation kits...but that was for the providers. I ended up accepting...

  2. Medical Assistant vs. RN

    Lipoma replied to HTXTed's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I worked as an MA in an urgent care and I was mostly 3 12s 7:45a - 8:15p. We didn't hire RNs so the majority of my scope was nursing interventions without the RN title or pay. I was making 32K as an...

  3. NCLEX-RN Stopped at 80!! Is this good or bad?!!!

    Lipoma replied to magz89's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Mine was 86 when it shut

  4. Insecure and Failed Interview

    Lipoma replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    You first have to feel confident in yourself before others will perceive you as being confident. I also graduated in Aug and passed the NCLEX. I recently interviewed for an ER position and had a panel...

  5. NCLEX preparation

    Lipoma replied to cassandraspangle's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I have to agree with Sour Lemon. If you did well in nursing school meaning you understood the big picture of the topics and you understand how to be a safe entry level nurse, you should be able to...

  6. Is LVN not enough for you!

    Lipoma replied to YourFuture22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    An RN is not a big title. Simmer down lmao. No matter what you say you're going to be in life, people who are not in the same position always have to offer their 2c. Ie: I'm going to be a RN - -...

  7. I feel like a complete moron

    Lipoma replied to cjp1994's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    No, this was a benign mistake. I pulled the spike out of a normal saline bag on an L&D floor after the nurse told me to make sure I take down the bag first before spiking another bag....I was so...

  8. What is considered an acceptable length of new grad residency or orientation?

    Lipoma replied to CEMMDRN's topic in General Nursing

    I recently interviewed for an ER position and I was told new grads are given 12-14 weeks. I do have 3 years of urgent care experience (the office didn't hire nurses) and they really liked that I had...

  9. NCLEX Resource Review - Kaplan, Hurst, UWorld

    Lipoma replied to hmvassar's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thank you I appreciate it. 1: I studied for 10 days total. Degree conferred 8/31, received my ATT 9/20, scheduled my test for 10/1. I did 1000 Kaplan Qbanks and took the Readiness Exam two days...

  10. Did I make a bad new job choice?

    Lipoma replied to Leogemini's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    If you're happy in your new position, then by all means, this is not a bad choice for

  11. When to Start U-World

    Lipoma replied to AspiringNurseMW's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think studying for the nclex 6 months out from graduation is overkill. The NCLEX is hard but it's not impossible to pass the first time of you're US or Canada trained. I graduated in Aug, took 2...

  12. NCLEX Resource Review - Kaplan, Hurst, UWorld

    Lipoma replied to hmvassar's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You'll be fine. I took the nclex on 10/1 and my Kaplan Qbank scores were 55s-60s with a readiness score of 69%. In my opinion, Kaplan was way harder than the nclex

  13. New grad nurse in Emergency Department

    Lipoma replied to Miss_RN92's topic in Emergency

    This thread is pretty helpful. I'm also a new grad and have an interview next week for an ED position. I have 2 years of experience working in UC so I felt like it's just a natural progression to...

  14. Update post-mental exhaustion

    Lipoma posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I don't know if you guys remember me, but I had posted back in August how I practically stopped trying to do well as I got closer to graduating from my ABSN program. Fast forward...I graduated Aug...

  15. Rant. Questions are killing me!

    Lipoma replied to broughden's topic in General Students

    It increases blood return to the heart and improves circulation to the vital organs. Overall, it improves systemic vascular resistance which leads to improved blood pressure. ahha, I see what you're...

  16. Rant. Questions are killing me!

    Lipoma replied to broughden's topic in General Students

    When it comes to questions like this here's a tip that I used in nursing school, on Kaplan, and on the NCLEX. Acknowledge the patient or family member's concern. -Restate their concern in the form of...

  17. Motivation running low

    Lipoma posted a topic in General Students

    Okay, so I'm weeks away from graduating from my ABSN program. I did well throughout the program, was inducted into Sigma Theta Tau, and set to graduate with 3.6-3.7. If I somehow manage to not screw...

  18. Motivation running low

    Lipoma replied to Lipoma's topic in General Students

    Guys, I made it. I made it to graduation and passed the NCLEX-RN on the first try. I can finally kick back and relax and gear up for the real

  19. Student Charge Nurse out of line

    Lipoma replied to cin808's topic in General Students

    1: It sounds asisine because you did not do it as a student. People tend to be against anything they are inexperienced with. Also being a charge is part of a nurse's scope, so why not get exposure to...

  20. Student Charge Nurse out of line

    Lipoma replied to cin808's topic in General Students

    Looooord, that title def went to their head. I was a student charge for 3 clinical days and was "responsible" for 2 students and 8 patients. All I cared about was that charting was complete at the end...

  21. How many prerequisites Did you take at once?

    Lipoma replied to ChristinaVL's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took genetics and micro simultaneously. I also took A&P and Nutrition together. I suggest you take A&P by itself in a given semester. Same goes for chemistry because these classes will take...

  22. PAs Do Not Like Us

    Lipoma replied to Dodongo's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This whole debate looks oddly similar to how MDs not liking DOs initially. Then as time went on...the two put their differences aside. Let's hope it's the same for PAs and

  23. Sexism against men in nursing

    Lipoma replied to Probably's topic in MICU, SICU

    Yes, because that would be the same if I requested my female colleagues to do ALL straight caths and foley insertions for me (:

  24. I forgot to clamp the peripheral IV site!!!

    Lipoma replied to DH1234's topic in General Students

    Nothing will happen to the patient. Only thing that will happen is MAYBE, just maybe, blood will seep back into the line and clog it. How's your experience so far? You like it, hate it, can't wait for...

  25. First semester- feels like drowning

    Lipoma replied to BagelBomber's topic in General Students

    I just graduated from an ABSN program 2 weeks ago. One thing I learned is to be content of no longer being an all A student. Out of my cohort of 42, 41 graduated which means there's a high possibility...
