Hi all, I work in a busy OBGYN clinic. We have about 12 nurses, not all are full time though. Maybe only 5-6 FT. We have been asked to come up with some inventive ways that we could staff the office so that people have more time at home in case we...

Hi! Just wondering if there is anyone in or who has been through the RN-BSN online program through Drexel university? Looking for reviews! TIA, Jenn

After 6 months in med-surg which I've known is not where I wanted to stay long term in my career, my husband, son and I are relocating to near Rochester NY and I just got offered a position at a hospital there in their Birth unit!! I am soooo psyche...

Thank you both and congrats to you and good luck in your new specialty as well RNin'08!

Hi. I will be relocating to the Canandaigua or Rochester area at the beginning of October. I will have 7 months experience as a med surg nurse by then and am just looking for some input on area hospitals up there. Any good/bad experiences, what the j...

Hi, I have another question.....the hospitals in Rochester, do they normally do D/E/N rotating shifts? So everyone rotates through all of those shifts? That's what I have heard. If so how does that work? Thanks, Jennifer

Just wanted to thank everyone again. I am going to start making some calls and get my resume out there. I will look into the smaller local hospitals too, but I am used to a 40 minute commute as I did this to go to school 4 days a week, not ideal, b...

Thanks for the reply! Do you know roughly the commute time from Canandaigua to Rochester? Maybe I will contact Thompson and see what they have to say. Alot of the jobs posted say they want you to have a years experience and I haven't got that yet....

No one live in the Rochester area? I've been looking at Strong Memorial Hospital.....any experiences there? Sorry to bug ya'll again. Jennifer

Hi, I just started my first job as an RN - It's on a med/surg floor - and I was just wondering what you have found to be the most comfortable shoe/sneaker to wear. The sneakers I have are killing me after a shift of being on my feet the whole day, h...

Western MA - I make $24.66 base pay and then $5.00 differential for working overnights.

I work 4 shifts a week 11p - 7:30 am (not that I ever get out at 7:30) It's considered a 32 hour full time position where I work......but they do both 12 hour and 8 hour shifts there.

I graduated last May at age 26 (6 months pregnant with my first baby then too!)

I took it and wouldn't really recommend it. Although I did pass the NCLEX the first time I found that the content review was really really tedious to get through, then the questions at the end of each review section didn't even pertain to the conten...

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm really sorry to hear your news Elfchen, hang in there, I can only imagine how upset you are, but please don't give up!! You'll get there. :flowersfo

Hey, just wanted to let you know that my questions were all over the place too. I had 75 questions - alot of them were priority, but they were randomly spaced out and I had a couple questions on the same disease as well, which makes you think you ans...

Congratulations!!!!!! I found out friday AM that I passed and I agree, the two day wait killed me as well, it is the worst torture.

i actually e-mailed an instructor at ncsbn because i was confused about this as well. i have copied the e-mail below, not that it is too much help, but here is what they told me......and the question i had sent them is below that...... hello, my ad...

Can't believe it and am still in shock!! The last two days waiting has been hell for me and I still cried when I saw the PASS on the pearson vue site. Thanks to everyone who sent messages the last few days!! YAY it's over!! Jennifer RN

Thanks for that, I was so excited I didn't think about it

Congratulations!!! Just found out that I passed to, so I know just how good you feel right about now. Congrats again, job well done!!! Jennifer

Congratulations!!! :rotfl: *happy dance for you*

I had a post on here after my test on Wed. that pretty much said the same thing, I think I failed, I guessed through the whole test. The wait has been horrible and now tomorrow am, just like you, I should be able to find out the results, but I have ...

I know most people come out of the nclex thinking that they failed or didn't do well........but I am sure of it. I was so clueless, the whole way through the test I kept thinking every 4 or 5 questions that I can't believe how unprepared I am. I gu...
