  1. What to do before job starts???

    Yin Yang replied to shinyblackcar's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Just curious, but why do so many people seem to have a prolonged gap between graduation and starting a job? In Texas, we have jobs about a month into our last semester that start the month following...

  5. A's in Nursing School

    Yin Yang replied to Davisk01's topic in General Students

    It can be done, but it's not easy. I just graduated this past week from a school that has almost a 50% attrition rate and I managed to make a 4.0 all the way through. I scored a 1085/99.99% on my...

    Yin Yang replied to Spill's topic in General Students

    If anyone needs anything, I've saved pretty much EVERYTHING - which is handy because I do tutoring too! Let me know if you need reading lists, alot of the powerpoints, etc.

    Yin Yang replied to Spill's topic in General Students

    Thanks so much! Jaxia and I already took it - we were the guinea pigs for the class. It was completely a breeze! The only thing you need to do really is have the scope of practice for LVN vs RN...

    I know! We're gonna have to practice signing GN instead of SN (although I REALLLLY hope to have my NCLEX done before Jan. 19!!!!

    Yin Yang replied to Spill's topic in General Students

    It's a very fast paced, high adrenaline environment at times. But, you get to practice skills over and over again which is a wonderful opportunity! Hopefully you are with a great preceptor who looks...

    I never did an externship. I would imagine it would be a great experience though. I did my 4th semester clinical preceptorship in the ER at Baylor Irving & loved it! Let us know how it goes!...

    Yin Yang replied to Spill's topic in General Students

    LOL. If I got reading material for pleasure, I'd never study for the final HESI. Once I start, it's hard to stop! Besides, I've got tons of books for pleasure reading that keep eyeballing me. I...
