1. ADN or ABSN?

   la.enfermera replied to FtN4U's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I was in a somewhat similar situation a few years ago except my TEAS score and non-science GPA were slightly higher. I applied to ADN and ABSN programs as well. I was working as a health educator at the time and thought that'd be sufficient for "pati...

2. Why do so many cheerleaders enter nursing?

   la.enfermera replied to RitzyCinnamonRoll's topic in General Nursing

   I was super nerdy in high school. I studied during lunch time. I was MAJORLY shy and quiet. I had acne, braces, glasses and I was so socially awkward. Glad I outgrew some of those traits. eek.

3. I've Been Employed at 7 Facilities as a New Grad RN

   la.enfermera replied to Shookclays's topic in General Nursing

   I had the same question!

4. Help.... Can't find a job after nursing school

   la.enfermera replied to nurse54361's topic in Job Hunt

   I agree with what another post said.. you'll have many more opportunities once you pass your NCLEX. Hang in there. It took me 2 months after graduating to even land an interview so you're well ahead of the game.

5. Shut Off At 75!

   la.enfermera replied to schoolforever's topic in NCLEX

   Yes! I felt like I got most questions wrong, to be honest. I had a mix of SATA, prioritization, but then I'd get a random simple question and it completely threw off my confidence. Now, log off allnurses, and do something that you enjoy!

6. Shut Off At 75!

   la.enfermera replied to schoolforever's topic in NCLEX

   You sound exactly like me! I SWORE I failed when the test stopped at 75... but guess what? I passed so you probably passed, too. I know it's hard to stop thinking about it, but try to do something you enjoy. Hike, swim? The test is done. Co...

7. Going from community/public health to hospital bedside nursing?

   la.enfermera replied to Parrhesia's topic in Public/Community

   Hi, I realize this is an older post, but I'm just curious about whether you decided to go from community health to bedside. I'm currently working in a community clinic. I like my job, but I mostly do phone triage, so I often find myself daydreaming a...

8. New grad RN, absolutely hate nursing

   la.enfermera replied to Ashley Karanja's topic in General Nursing

   Wow, I completely resonate with 95% of your experience. I, too, enjoyed the science part of nursing and I absolutely LOVED theory, but I developed some anxiety after having a not-so-great encounter with one of my clinical instructors. I went as far a...

9. New Grad with Mixed Feelings

   la.enfermera replied to nurse_bri's topic in Stress 101

   same. I have an ADN and I chose to work in community health. I work 7a-330p and I LOVE my job. I also worked JUST AS HARD AS YOU DID and I took the same licensing exam.

10. NCLEX Help!!

    la.enfermera replied to Necia84's topic in NCLEX

    I think she means the Pearson Vue Trick. She tried it in the car.

11. NCLEX Help!!

    la.enfermera replied to Necia84's topic in NCLEX

    I'm so sorry to hear that. You WILL pass NCLEX though; just remember how hard you've worked this entire time. Maybe do more Uworld questions? Focus on prioritization, select all that apply. I set out to do about 50 questions a day while I prepared fo...

12. RN with an ADN degree only

    la.enfermera replied to candi33's topic in Job Hunt

    I know this is a somewhat old post, but have you tried PrimeHealth Care or Southern California Hospital? I got offers from both hospitals with an ADN "only"..

13. New Grad RN California

    la.enfermera replied to Vcastaldo's topic in Job Hunt

    PrimeHealth Care and Southern California Hospitals hire new grads. They have multiple locations in the LA region. They're smaller hospitals compared to Kaiser and UCLA and such, but they're willing to hire and train new grads. You can always work for...

    la.enfermera replied to nursegirlie412's topic in Missouri

    Congrats on almost being done! I started applying right after I graduated from my program but it took 2 WHOLE MONTHS to get my ATT for the NCLEX. (I live in California). In that time, I interviewed at two hospitals, both of which said to come back wh...

15. Nursing 2 Med Surg clinical

    la.enfermera replied to Bphoenix15's topic in General Students

    My beginning to Med Surg clinical was on a PostOp floor.. I mostly remember care plans, Ndx, researching meds prior to clinical. Skills included monitoring drains (JP, HemoVac); hanging IV primary lines and IVPB (we didn't start IVs until intermediat...
