  1. Job offer while doing other job interviews

    mediwizard posted a topic in Nursing Career

    HELP! For example, if you have been looking for jobs for quite a while. Luckily you got a bunch of interviews, they either are days from each other or even weeks apart. If you all of a sudden got a...

  2. ACCN Emergency Dilemma

    mediwizard posted a topic in Emergency

    I am currently a new grad and looking for jobs anywhere but Emergency nursing is one of my dream jobs. Do you think it would be beneficial to take the ACCN EN route while applying for jobs? If I do...

  4. NEED HELP BADLY!

    mediwizard replied to Meca423's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I do not know about LPNs but in RN NCLEX, there is a category to the questions being asked. I.e. you would need to answer questions that are more critical thinking based and avoid the memorization...

  5. NEED HELP BADLY!

    mediwizard replied to Meca423's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    NCLEX is a Computer Adaptive Test meaning it is taken via computer and the computer would analyze your ability by the way you answer questions. Hence you need to answer NCLEX type questions using the...

  6. Emergency Meds in 2 locations?

    mediwizard replied to cmh1118's topic in School

    Why not bring this to the parents? If I were a parent of a child prone to having seizures, I would gladly provide another set of medications to keep in this building. I do understand that not...

  7. ACCN Emergency Dilemma

    mediwizard replied to mediwizard's topic in Emergency

    Thank you for your feedback! It really does seem like I would need to take the ACLS if ever I hope to be hired in Emerg. I did look it up more and you are indeed correct. I do like the algorithms...

    mediwizard replied to mediwizard's topic in Critical Care

    Thank you for the feedback! I guess, I have to spend money I do not currently have. Hopefully, I get a job offer once I get these

  9. NEED HELP BADLY!

    mediwizard replied to Meca423's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I have also heard my classmates mention Uworld and Kaplan. I personally did not use them but I have heard lots of positive reviews. Each individual needs to find what method would work for them. Also...

  10. NEED HELP BADLY!

    mediwizard replied to Meca423's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    What I did find helpful in reviewing for NCLEX was utilizing the NCSBN review course. They sell a comprehensive review course for either 5 weeks, 7 weeks, etc. I do not know if they have for LPN but...

  11. NEED HELP BADLY!

    mediwizard replied to Meca423's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    How did you review for the NCLEX? The NCLEX has a very specific way of taking the exam. What kind of review books did you take? If you can share that, I think that would be more helpful. Also, you...

  12. ACLS certification, TNCC, other certs

    mediwizard replied to mediwizard's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for your feedback! I am definitely making the connection though I am reviewing my nursing knowledge more based on my interview experience. You are indeed correct and I do reflect on what had...

  13. ACLS certification, TNCC, other certs

    mediwizard posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi, I researched about how to achieve a ACLS certification. However, whenever I go to the Heart and Stroke website, it offers a 12 hour certification. BUT when I research ACLS a company called QRS...

  14. ACCN Emergency Dilemma

    mediwizard replied to mediwizard's topic in Emergency

    Thank you for responding. I will definitely try to get my ACLS at least. It is quite expensive which made me hesitant on getting it and waiting to be called for interviews is making me anxious. How...

  15. Passed CEN

    mediwizard replied to DFWEDRN's topic in Emergency

    Congrats! I am a relatively new nurse and gets confused with the acronyms. Would taking an Advanced Critical Care certification focused on Emergency Nursing qualifies you to take the CEN or would just...

  16. ACLS certification, TNCC, other certs

    mediwizard replied to mediwizard's topic in General Nursing

    Do you think taking an EKG course would help? All these courses are so expensive! I wish it were cheaper especially for new grads like me. I wish I could be more competitive especially since I lack...

  17. ACLS certification, TNCC, other certs

    mediwizard replied to mediwizard's topic in General Nursing

    The thing is the position I applying for is not under the New Grad Residency program, just the normal RN route. And yes, even I get confused at times since whenever I go on interviews, I see this...

  18. New grad in rural ER?

    mediwizard replied to amzyRN's topic in Emergency

    Are you still working in that hospital? What do you think of a new grad doing what you were doing when you started working there? I know this is an old post but would appreciate feedback! Thank

  19. New grad in rural ER?

    mediwizard replied to amzyRN's topic in Emergency

    How did you do it? I am thinking of doing the same and feeling both excitement and trepidation particularly with the limited support and more than likely the possibility of being the only

  20. Is it possible for a nurse to become a doctor?

    mediwizard replied to madel23's topic in General Nursing

    WOW! CONGRATS! Do share your journey. It would definitely help hearing from a person who took the RN to MD route when I am being asked students. So you did not take the med prereqs or you had it...

  21. ACLS certification, TNCC, other certs

    mediwizard replied to mediwizard's topic in General Nursing

    Would you think taking the ACCN in Emergency Nursing be beneficial? I love learning new things but right now, I am so confused on which one to do first. Whenever I go on interviews, they ask me on...

  22. Job offer while doing other job interviews

    mediwizard replied to mediwizard's topic in Nursing Career

    That does make sense. I thought you were officially offered the job. Did I interpret it properly that you were offered the job through verbal communication i.e. either by phone or in person. Now you...

  23. Is there any LPN that has bridge online?

    mediwizard replied to mzsuccess's topic in School, College Programs

    Doing an online LPN-RN bridging program is definitely a terrible idea. I mean if it is partly online i.e. the theoretical type courses then that is okay. BUT you need to have practical placement which...

  24. New Grad dilemma: WWYD?

    mediwizard replied to midwifemae's topic in General Nursing

    Take the job. I do not know where you are but from where I am from, L&D is hard to get. They specifically offer you training for it and those jobs do not come

  25. Job offer while doing other job interviews

    mediwizard replied to mediwizard's topic in Nursing Career

    You are indeed correct particularly since it is hard finding job these days. I guess my dilemma is I am conflicted regarding how to approach this scenario since if I do decide to accept the smaller...
