I think you did what your intuition would tell you to do. I'm not sure what was the reason that the security was asking, you didn't mention that. Would it been a serious security problem, I would have been reacted the same way, I would be worried too, but I would be more vigilante, and not mess around with the "suspect". I didn't expect the hospital to react that way though.

Hello everyone! Thank you for your advice and support! I applied anyway, and got a call! I got the job offer on a surgery observation unit. This seems to be a good beginning for a hospital career, I hope? Anyways, thank you so much! On to my orientation and a new chapter ?

Hello everyone, I had another post about whether or not to apply for the hospital after 2 years in public. I applied anyways and got a call! It’s from Neuro trauma! Woohoo! It turns out that my psych and adult daycare experience are all related to neuro trauma. Please give me some advice on how to prepare for this interview, what types of questions do they usually ask. I also have so many questions: like what type of population, meds, any tips?? Thank you so much! I really appreciate it.

Hello everyone, I will be out of school for 2 years this July. For the pass 2 years, I took the NCLEX, and worked as an RN outside of the hospital like adult day healthcare center, treatment center for eating disorders, and now I’m giving covid 19 vaccine for cvs. All of these work I did for agency and registry. I’m now interested in applying for the hospital, but I’m worried that my experience is not enough. I have a BSN, and ACLS, BLS. What do you think my chances are and should I apply anyways?

Hi there, I’m just concerned about the current covid 19, what if I get it you know, especially you don’t have a good immune system when you are pregnant. My pregnancy has not been a nice time as well, I was diagnosed with GD, and I really don’t want to risk exposed to covid 19 over 2 days assignment.

Yes, I have the same issue as well. I feel like everybody is getting jealous just because we get more attention, even though it’s just the nature of the job. The other day I was talking to my relative about jobs, and they told me the process that they went through beauty school, how hard it is, and that it was so much harder than nursing school. I was like...okay... haha

Hi, I graduated last year and found a contract job after I passed my NCLEX. I found out that I was pregnant at the time, but I accepted the work anyways because I figured I was still early in my pregnancy. I worked for the company for 1 month assignment. Now, the supervisor ask me if I can accept a weekend 12hr shift assignment, but I am now in my 8 months, and I don’t want to risk my baby especially during this time. I don’t know how to reject this assignment. Should I just simply say that I am pregnant and reject the assignment or should I just ignore it? I feel like I should answer them nicely since we are going to contact each other in the future.

Hello everyone, I was recently hired by an agency to work for a facility from 8-4pm, but the facility closes early at 3 or 330pm. I was wondering if they need to pay me full hours even when the facility closes early? Is there a law on this? Answers are appreciated. Thanks.

Maybe to you, a BSN is just an “easy, relatively useless, easy to obtain degree”, but to us it’s a whole career. Once you get to the hiring process without the required qualifications, you will understand how hard it is to get a job nowadays with or without a bsn. It looks like you have already experienced it here. Also, a BS in chemistry is irrelevant to nursing. My husband has a BS in chemistry, and it’s completely different. It’s a different field. If you wanted to be a CRNA in the first place, knowing the requirements are getting harder, you should’ve planned to enroll in a BSN curriculum not an RN one. What’s more, BSN prepare you more for the CRNA, first, it’s more relevant, second, it’s harder, deeper, and more to the details, and understanding the why behind the skills we usually do as nurses. I’m pretty sure this is very important for CRNA. Also, I recommend you get a personal journey for yourself for a better future, whenever you need to vent, and only post necessary questions. Professors in CRNA would want to hear that too.

Hello everyone, I graduated nursing school within 6 months, and passed my NCLEX. I just got an interview from a LTC facility, and they were very upfront about the job. They said it was gonna be hard, and their expectation. new grad will have about 15 pts, and regular is 25-30. They told me the rate and the schedule for new grads, a bit low, but I understand because I’m a new grad. Up until this point I figured out, kind of guessing myself, that they were actually offering me a job. My only concern is I’m pregnant 16 weeks, and I am not sure if this would be a good fit for me. I know it’s a lot, but it sounds manageable, I just don’t want my unborn baby to suffer ? Does anybody have any experience or know someone who has with working in LTC especially for pregnant RN? Any advice is appreciated.

Hello, I have been out of school for 3 months. I took the nclex in August and failed it the first time. Now, I'm in preparation to take it the second time. I used Uworld and watched some Youtube videos for the first time, but I think I was lack of strategies and method. I still don;t know why I failed, just need to study more. Anyways, I am using NCSBN, repurchasing ATI, and I heard good things about Saunders, so I purchased it too. Now, I feel overwhelmed from the resources! Am I on the right track? I have heard people advised to use only one resources and stick with it, but I really cannot help but looking around and feeling not prepared enough.

Hello there, I have been there for my friends amd mentor, so I really understand what you are going through. I understand that you love ED, but have you ever considered behavioral health? You have a gift that may help others, especially when you can connect with others. I have a friend, who was a nurse on ICU for 5 years, then she had to quit because of her depression. She decided to work for Behavioral Medicine instead, and she loved it there. Last time I saw her, she was happier than ever before. She told me she loved it there because she felt like she really can help people there. People was born certain way for a reason, and it is powerful to have depression as a nurse because of the ability to connect.

Awwwww.... You know what, you can do it. Everybody is different. Maybe just need to take some breaths and relax? ?

Hey! How is it going? I'm not sure if you have already taken the NCLEX? Either way, I took the NCLEX and did not pass, and I felt the same way as you before I took it: Did not feel prepared and did not know whether to extend the date. I would say EXTEND the date and review the content until you feel comfortable taking the test. The anxiety before taking a test is different from the anxiety that you feel you have not prepared enough (this one is usually true). Anxiety over not being ready on the content will not do good for you on the nclex. Trust me. I have been there. Does your school have any software that they use? You can obtain discount from them, mine used ATI, and they offered me discount after my expiration date has passed. It's 80% off. $500-> $100. If not, I would say get one of those content review book like Saunders. I heard Saunders have good content review as well as QB.

Hello, I know this is out of topic, but, I really like your quotes. Could you explain to me the last one?
