  1. Children's Health Dallas February 2021 Nurse Residency

    RoundAbout33 replied to firstgenrn's topic in Texas Nursing

    Just know that the process takes awhile. This was my 2nd time applying, and I didn't hear anything back from my first application. Second time around, I think making a connection at Children's helped,...

  5. Newbie nurse, 2nd day precepting in ICU. I cried. Will I make it?

    RoundAbout33 replied to Guest1158260's topic in General Nursing

    Also, celebrate your small wins! I'm also a new grad and was thrilled on Monday when I could stop a pt's IV, unhook said pt from it, put the pump on standby, and then re-hook him up and start back the...

  6. Licensing question

    RoundAbout33 replied to dinah77's topic in Texas Nursing

    I don't think MN participates in nursys verification. They're not a compact state either. I just looked on mine and it said MN wasn't a part of it, so, yes, they would need you to have the MN BON send...

  9. What should I wear to pick up paperwork on my day off?

    RoundAbout33 replied to medapop's topic in General Nursing

    Safest bet is business casual. Know your policy. My hospital specifically says no jeans, flip flops, shorts, t-shirts, among other things. You really never know who you might run into but if you have...

  10. Prepare Nurses to Pass NCLEX, or Prepare Nurses for Real World?

    RoundAbout33 replied to Hoosier_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I completely agree with you that those types of questions really aren't good assessments of critical thinking. When I initially got that question wrong, I reached out to one of the clinical...

  11. Prepare Nurses to Pass NCLEX, or Prepare Nurses for Real World?

    RoundAbout33 replied to Hoosier_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Bruse, As I have read through your responses, I feel as though you are avoiding the main point coming from most of those providing thoughts or comments: Regardless of how you feel about the...

    RoundAbout33 replied to PNDtoBScNto?'s topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The NURSING website/app is really good with content. They have a ton of lectures in different nursing areas and also have questions. My school used Kaplan, and I actually really liked it for study as...

  14. Program Advice

    RoundAbout33 replied to Dhooy7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you can afford it, I would say go with the accelerated program. Of course this is very individual, and you know yourself best, but if you are ready to be a nurse, go the fastest, quality route. I...

    RoundAbout33 replied to Queenofthesouth24's topic in General Students

    I'm actually completing a Lippincott Peds one right now. If you must pass on the first try, I would encourage you to do the suggested readings first (if you have the book). If you have multiple...

    RoundAbout33 replied to NurseSav20's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'm out-of-state, applied to critical care only, still no word. I'm hopeful since the interview week isn't until the end of February. There's still a bit of

  21. Help! The teacher's answers are different from mine?

    RoundAbout33 replied to Beaue's topic in General Students

    @Rose_Queen Per OP's initial post, she already had the answer. She listed the answer she got and the answer that her professor provided. I was showing one way to get this answer because she was...

  22. Help! The teacher's answers are different from mine?

    RoundAbout33 replied to Beaue's topic in General Students

    Try using dimensional analysis. Like a previous poster said, always start on top with what you're looking for - in this case, gtts. The question says there are 20gtts in 1ml, so that is what you...

    RoundAbout33 replied to Taylor Barnett's topic in Texas Nursing

    @annieg414 I also applied to Women's Services but have yet to hear anything. Hopefully that just means they're still sorting through applications and deciding who they want to interview. *Fingers...
