    New Grad RN Job Advice

    BONBON replied to ngnurse's topic in General Nursing

    The step-down position sounds a lot more appealing and you would get great experience if it is at a teaching hospital. I'm working at a level I trauma center at a teaching hospital on a busy...

    Graduating With A DNP Without Prior Nursing Experience. Thoughts? Suggestions?

    BONBON replied to scribe1290's topic in General Students

    I personally would not feel okay having little to no RN experience to then be working under the title of NP. I feel this is a hot topic with MD's and NP's. I don't doubt that there are those who do go...

    Waiting for my ATT for 5 weeks now.

    BONBON replied to cdiffhater's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Ooh sorry I misread! Honestly I would just call Pearson Vue, they would be able to pull up your account and should be able to tell you exactly what's going on! Since it was so long ago, there may be a...

    Best study guide for NCLEX?

    BONBON replied to Rachel_Oli's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Started out with a Lippincott Q&A 13e book from amazon based on recommendations from coworkers who had passed. I got the book as a way to keep me on track. I mainly wanted practice questions to...

    The dilemma of mind wandering

    BONBON replied to Prosperity's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    A few things that come to mind, Is it lack of sleep? Too much going on in your life outside of NCLEX that's keeping you distracted? Is it your actual environment in which you're studying? Perhaps...

    Failed NCLEX 2nd time

    BONBON replied to kcrisanti's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I felt like UWorld helped prepare me well because of the rationales for each answer. Beyond that, UWorld gives you additional context outside of the answers they provide. It also mimics the test...

    Waiting for my ATT for 5 weeks now.

    BONBON replied to cdiffhater's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Perhaps you have to resubmit your transcript? The reason why my ATT took so long to receive after graduation was because they failed to notify me that my transcript I had sent was missing something on...

    FAILED the NCLEX 3x! HOW to pass?!

    BONBON replied to CAgirl23's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I have someone in my program who used an NCSBN (and I believe paid over $100 for it) and she found it to be useless and not worth her money she said. I personally only used UWorld and then took the...

    Hardest Clinical Rotation?

    BONBON replied to Leapheng123's topic in General Students

    The nurses I was assigned to in school during clinical were always helpful and supportive. They know you are a student and will not push you to do something you do not feel comfortable with. Remember,...

    BONBON replied to danya's topic in General Students

    This. ? While it wasn't impossible to move a clinical to a different date, it was like pulling teeth out trying to do so. Heed his advice of having a flexible life/work schedule because your...

    Hardest Clinical Rotation?

    BONBON replied to Leapheng123's topic in General Students

    What about your grading is so strict for clinical? We had a sheet the nurse had to sign off on when I was done with my clinical. It covered basics such as "safe care," "communication skills," etc....

    What courses were hardest in your first year of nursing?

    BONBON replied to hadeskitten's topic in General Students

    I would probably say mental health or children & adolescents. Mainly because it was the first time being exposed to a nursing approach with either subject and I had a difficult time remembering...

    Passed NCLEX - but felt like you failed?

    BONBON replied to Casey_93's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Took my test this past Tuesday. I wasn't nervous, and felt good going in. I think my UWorld scores helped in my confidence (I also have never really been a nervous test taker so that helped.) However,...

    BONBON replied to sajeunesse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    BONBON replied to dylanwino's topic in General Nursing

    Easier workloads might include nutrition, a psych course (ie. intro to psych or developmental psych), and medical terminology! Some heavier topics (but very relevant) include anat. & phys.,...

    BONBON replied to maryzz's topic in General Students

    IPad Mini for clinicals?

    BONBON replied to polycalca's topic in General Students

    I don't think I would every personally bring an iPad onto the floor due to a few reasons. First HIPAA, second it may be more distracting than helpful, your nurse may not approve whether they're vocal...

    Roseman university- utah

    BONBON replied to gmann's topic in School, College Programs

    Check out Zillow, partners in medicine, and maybe KSL (may not find as decent ones on KSL) My best advice is try to find an individual renting out rather than a large management company. You will get...

    Ridiculous class schedule, please help

    BONBON replied to PrinPrin2's topic in General Students

    While your advisor I'm sure has great advice, when it comes down to it, you know your routine/study habits/learning abilities the best. Don't let their "silence" deter you from achieving your goals....
