    Dumb Question?

    hlfpnt replied to RNin2007's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Most facilities will hire you on at "GN" (Graduate Nurse) status until you take boards. That's when you have a temporary license through the state for a certian amount of time. Not sure if each state...

    Not that I wish misery on anyone, far from it, but I'm so glad to discover I'm not alone in my feelings concerning my first job! I thought maybe I was just being too picky or something. I love the job...

    Pinning ceremonies...

    hlfpnt replied to MsBruiser's topic in Male Nursing Students

    At the risk of being blasted, I have to reply to this one. For myself, I think losing the traditions is part of what's wrong in todays society. We tend forget the true meanings behind the things we...

    Lab values Kaplan vs Saunders?

    hlfpnt replied to tanita's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    For myself, I found it easier not to compare labs & ABG's, too confusing. I stuck with Saunder's because it was closest to what I learned in my good ole med/surg book. Hope this helps :wink2:

    hlfpnt replied to theblondeaggie's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The Saunders review book is your best bet for content & it has more questions than you'll probably have tome to get to. The Q&A book is just more questions & is good for practice. I used...
