  1. Should I apply to NOVA or ECPI?

    krenee replied to YLN123's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I vote for NOVA. I think finding a job as an LPN may be difficult, and if NOVA is much less expensive that's another reason. It's a good program. Best of

  2. night nurse and working out?

    krenee replied to erin01's topic in General Nursing

    What kind of shifts do you do? I switched to nights recently and I'm doing 2 8s and 2 12s. I'm not doing *anything* when I have 2 12s back to back, but if I'm doing 8s and going in at 11, I try to...

  3. I just wanted to say

    krenee posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    That I like my job! I want to say this for all the nursing students who may be reading this forum and feel discouraged. And that's not to be disrespectful to those who are struggling and post...

  4. Shaved Mons - Phenomenon

    krenee replied to recbest's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't think it's wrong to notice it, I am working postpartum and I've noticed it too! I told my mom no one under 25 has pubic hair

  5. Are there nursing jobs or not?

    krenee replied to Lala27poodles's topic in General Nursing

    It would be helpful if you would say where you live. In Northern Virginia, not so many jobs!!! They aren't impossible to find, but I understand a lot of new grads are having trouble.

  6. Got a job!

    krenee posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am relieved and nervous! I'm going to start orientation a week from Monday, and I'll be starting in the newborn nursery, which I'm happy about. What I'm NOT happy about - working nights!!! That...

  7. Do you think this will be a problem?

    krenee posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I just got my RN license and I am going to start work in a few weeks. I have a scholarship through our local hospital, so I am going to work there; however, I have to interview still to decide what...

  8. Do you think this will be a problem?

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

    You don't think I should bring it up during the interview? I don't want it to look like I wasn't being up front about it . . . and as much as I'm worried about it, chances aren't good that they...

  9. Pearsonvue Trick Is this TRUE? Does it work every time?

    krenee replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Well, not that any more testimonies are needed, I was a believer but again the trick is proved true! I took the NCLEX yesterday and I am on the Board of Nursing phone license lookup line as an active...

  10. Took the NCLEX, it was horrible!

    krenee posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Well, I knew from reading this board that everyone who takes the NCLEX feels like they failed. I warned my husband. But OMG, I feel like I failed! I felt like I was guessing on 75% of the...

  11. Took the NCLEX, it was horrible!

    krenee replied to krenee's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I got 75. And I'll tell you something that threw me - the last question was NOT what I consider a "passing level" question - it was kind of like "what is happening in this disease process", not...

  12. Pearsonvue Trick Is this TRUE? Does it work every time?

    krenee replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I just wanted to say I think the trick is brilliant. And it just saved me SOOOO much anxiety. Like everyone, I thought for sure I had failed, but I passed (according to the trick). And I am quite...

  13. Took the NCLEX, it was horrible!

    krenee replied to krenee's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    OMG well according to the pearson trick I passed . But wow, people are not lying about how hard it is. And about how you will feel after! Thanks y'all and GOOD LUCK. It's going to take me an hour...

  14. Seriously, the apothecary system?

    krenee posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am studying for the NCLEX, and Kaplan is giving me math questions involving grains. I just HAVE to know, is this EVER used IRL? Thanks for your

  15. My NCLEX got re-scheduled!!!

    krenee posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I was supposed to take the NCLEX tomorrow. I was finished studying, I actually took the day off, got a pedicure, a massage . . . and then I got a call this evening. They are having technical...

  16. My NCLEX got re-scheduled!!!

    krenee replied to krenee's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I did Kaplan online. It was a bit pricey but it has really helped my confidence. I have always been a good tester but they taught a lot of strategies that I wouldn't have known

  17. Does anyone know how to answer Pharm ?'s, when u have no clue????

    krenee replied to NSchoolAgain's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If you don't know a med in clinical you LOOK IT UP. Can't do that with the NCLEX. It is impossible to know all meds, and if you think you do, I'm scared of you. I agree that some of the...

  18. Pharmacology!

    krenee posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I am set to take the NCLEX in exactly one week. And I am FREAKED out by the fact that I am going to fail because I so struggle with pharmacology. I am doing Kaplan and practice questions, but it...

  19. Now what, my pre and post kaplan test did not change....

    krenee replied to beautsbelle's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I am doing Kaplan online, and it tells us that you want a 65%, so 70 sounds good to me. I think you'll be OK, but if you don't feel OK about it, study more, that's about all I can tell you! You...

  20. New grads - how much are you studying?

    krenee posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Just curious - I graduated May 11th, took a week off, and was planning to study 3 hours a day for the NCLEX. Well, I'm thinking it was a bit ambitious and now I'm studying usually an hour or hour...

  21. This probably belongs in NCLEX discussion but I need some STAT support!!

    krenee replied to NurseBreezy's topic in General Nursing

    Aw, you poor thing. I can imagine. I am a recent graduate, haven't scheduled mine yet. I hope I will be able to be somewhat calm when the time comes. Good luck, I know you'll be glad when it's...

  22. New grads - how much are you studying?

    krenee replied to krenee's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm not *relaxing*, I just don't have my ATT yet! I will schedule the NCLEX ASAP, trust me. I can't imagine anyone letting years go by, that's insanity. Everyone knows the sooner you take it, the...

  23. New grads - how much are you studying?

    krenee replied to krenee's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yeah, I have a job lined up too but I can't start until I pass the NCLEX! Actually I don't even have a job, I have a promise of a job through a scholarship program - still have to interview to see...

  24. Quick Story about a Caring Nurse

    krenee replied to BusinessGrad's topic in General Nursing

    I am touched by the fact that you chose to focus your post on praising the one nurse who came to you rather than to condemn the nurses who didn't. I am sure you will be a wonderful nurse. I will...

  25. Approved Checklist-NVCC!!!!!!!!

    krenee replied to Cilantrophobe's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Congrats & good luck! I remember waiting for that letter to arrive, I was so stalking the mailman. Now I'm waiting for Potomac Hospital to post their new grad positions . .
