    Piper98 posted a topic in School

    Hello! I have been an RN for about a year and a half and started bedside after NCLEX and transitioned to school nursing about halfway through the academic year. I have always wanted to be a school...

  3. Do you do anything PRN?

    Piper98 replied to Piper98's topic in School

    Thank you so much for your reply and advice. I should add, I am currently in school getting my RN-BSN, so I agree I also don't want to overextend myself. I just feel like I need some thing more, if...

    Piper98 posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    I am scheduled to be starting the Purdue Northwest RN-BSN program next month, and I am starting to have second thoughts. I graduated with my ASN a year ago, and am currently working as a sub school...

  5. Purdue Northwest RN-BSN Question...

    Piper98 replied to Piper98's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I am scheduled to be done in early May 2024. However, I only have to take the nursing courses because I have a previous bachelor's degree, and everything transferred. In the first course, we...

  6. Purdue Northwest RN-BSN Question...

    Piper98 replied to Piper98's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I did! Finished my first 5wk class last Friday. So far, it is definitely doable, just takes some time management. I work full-time, so 7:30-3:30 Monday-Friday, so I work during the day during lunch...

  8. Anyone else taking the NCLEX soon?

    Piper98 replied to futurenursemar's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Of course it is possible to fail even after getting high percentiles, it sounds like you are very prepared and will do very well!! I had similar percentiles prior to taking the test in February, and...

  9. Part time?

    Piper98 replied to NewRookie's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Definitely not! I worked 24 hours per week in the ICU after graduation. I lasted 6 months…it was just not for me. I wanted to make it a year, but feeling miserable all of the time wasn’t worth it....

    Piper98 replied to odyssey321's topic in School

    I bought a cute sparkly one from Amazon. I just started as a sub. My hubby says I’m trying to flex…maybe I am. I worked darn hard for those two letters behind my

  12. Can't Find My Calling

    Piper98 replied to Genesis_BSN_RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    What is your favorite aspect of nursing? Would you be interested in doing something in a clinic? What about dialysis or home

  14. RN-BS vs. RN-BSN…Is there a diff?

    Piper98 posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    I am currently looking to start a RN-BSN program in the Spring. I already hold a BS in Health Science, and just got my ASN in December. I wanted to get my BSN from the school I have my original BS...

  15. Two weeks into orientation, constantly terrified. Is this normal?

    Piper98 replied to hollyleaf's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You are not alone. I am 4m in, one week off orientation and still feel like I have no idea what I am doing. I am in the ICU, and have yet to get a flash doing an IV. Nursing school did not prepare us...

  16. How many preceptors did you have?

    Piper98 posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    Just curious…how many preceptors did you have as a new nurse? Or what is to be expected? I assumed as a new nurse you would have one, maybe two, and follow their schedule. I have had nearly a new...

  17. When Should I Start Applying For Jobs?

    Piper98 replied to Hopefulstudent333's topic in First Year After Licensure

    That is really up to you and how competitive your area is. I applied a week after passing NCLEX, and within a week or so, had 4 offers. I didn’t want the added stress of job search with finishing...

  19. Dismissed from ABSN program

    Piper98 replied to nursingstudent_2021's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I’m in Indiana. Unless you were dropped for something illegal, I think you would be fine as long as the grades are there. Keep in mind all nursing programs are

  20. Dismissed from ABSN program

    Piper98 replied to nursingstudent_2021's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I went to a CC and there were several students that were dismissed from a BSN program and then decided to go the CC route. I don't think you will have a problem at

  21. Active Job Offer Help!!

    Piper98 replied to Survivor10's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Just my opinion, but if the drive doesn't bother you, I would go for the first job. It seems like the residency has a lot of negatives that you have identified. The clinic job would not give you the...

  22. New Grad Options

    Piper98 replied to AmiableArtichoke's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I would recommend talking with a recruiter for the health systems in your area. They will be able to give you an idea of what shifts they are hiring for. Have you thought about outpatient? Those jobs...

  25. Studying For NCLEX: Feeling Like Its Going No Where

    Piper98 replied to nr92's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Good luck! I took mine last week and passed. It was an odd test. Just take your time and don’t overthink those SATAs! Also, my state posted my license in less than 24 hours, so check that the next...
