  1. Is the NCLEX Harder in California Than Elsewhere?

    rn4ever? replied to RaycerX's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    They say that foreign nurses have a 45% chance of passing NCLEX the first time which seems a small percentage compared to US graduates-----but then, we must factor in the total number of students...

    rn4ever? replied to BostonKatie's topic in Nursing Career

    While it may be illegal to give out other info other than dates of hire/fire/resignation, etc and whether or not they would rehire you. But, should your reference or former employer cross the line and...

  7. Did you get a raise after orientation?

    rn4ever? replied to chelleanne's topic in General Nursing

    It depends on what was discussed when they hired you. The first hospital that I worked with hired me as a new grad before, and put me on orientation for about two months. When the two months was up,...

  8. new job/vacation...advice?

    rn4ever? replied to sweetieann's topic in General Nursing

    I don’t think that the interview is the best time to discuss vacation plans. For one, you’re not hired yet, so officially, you’re not their employee yet. Hold off until you’re officially...

  13. terminated, am I blacklisted from mental health?

    rn4ever? replied to felixfelix's topic in Psychiatric

    If they are going to "touch" your license, I would say lawyer up before it's too late! Also, if you know that you didn't hit him and the videotape could prove it, I would contest and fight...

  14. First day on Behavioral Health Unit

    rn4ever? replied to Naya1978's topic in Psychiatric

    Do not give out personal information to your patients. Don't forget that you and the client have a nurse-patient relationship and not friendship. Ensure that when you discuss patient's issues, it is...

    wherever you work, whatever field you’re in, there’s office politics and gossip. and you will always feel the pressure whether you’re a nurse, a cop, a doctor, a cashier, a cleaning lady, etc....

  17. What is a disqualifying offense in NJ for a CNA candidate

    rn4ever? replied to coreyreaves's topic in General Nursing

    I think that it would be of help if you contacted an Immigration Attorney (who I believe also handles Asylum cases to be able to obtain a work permit/green card). Hope everything works

  18. Office vs hospital position

    rn4ever? replied to gtoko's topic in General Nursing

    If this is your first RN job, I'd say go to the hospital and be trained. If not, you can do the office work. It might be less stressful compared to the med-surg floor but it could also give you a...

  19. Pregnancy and job applications

    rn4ever? replied to diamondmeadows's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, I would wait. What if you get a good job offer but you have to be off from work right away because you have to deliver your baby? Also, what if you needed and wanted to spend some time...

  20. Inpatient mental health position

    rn4ever? replied to rn4babies63's topic in General Nursing

    rn4ever? replied to Ling07's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Yes there is. I used to work full-time as a new grad but switched to part time a year later. I believe that for a new grad you will learn a lot if you start out

    rn4ever? replied to RNnbakes's topic in General Nursing

    In MY OPINION, two things are stressed out in this story. First, you never leave an eight-year-old child alone and unsupervised-----ever. Second, for all the liability that baby-sitting entails (your...
