niko1999 RN BSN

And to be honest, I am scared ********. I've been a nurse for almost 5 years now, and have worked on some med surg floors, but I'm still shaking at the knees to think of what I will be going to (top NH hospital, teaching hospital ect.) I'm excited by...

Haha I learned that one in anatomy

So I have started taking classes to finish my bachelor's degree, but I'm contemplating doing an RN to MSN program instead (for CNL). I have 4 years of experience, so I'm not a brand new nurse, and I need to get ICU experience. But I'm not sure if goi...

So this is kind of a vent, but I'm sure there are people out there who have had similar situations occur. My first nursing job I was fired from for making a med error(too little vanco) I own the mistake, it was my mistake to make, and I learned from ...

No, I didn't give the whole story. I too butted heads personality wise with one of the higher ups, and got in trouble previously for missing a colace order (no lie). As a result I was placed on probation, then the vanco thing happened. Lo2128, did yo...

Most I have shared is I'm married ( I do wear my rings to work), I have no kids but I have a cat. Sometimes, depending on the patient, if we get on the subject, I will tell them about my eventual goal to go for anesthetist . And if they ask where I'm...

So I have a pt who has different agencies for nursing, be it RN, LPN or caregivers, for services. As of the last day or so, the other service that provided regular nursing services for her, fired her nurse (we only go in every 90 days). This pt has s...

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who feels that way> I envy people who love their jobs, can't wait to go, and want to stay late. Most days it takes every bit of me to either not call in, or to even pull into the parking lot. I've only been a ...

I know we are technically not allowed to have our cell phones on us, because there are people who sit in the hallway and text message while on the clock. I think I am one of the only ones besides our PA and Dr's who use their cell phone to look up dr...

Depending on where you work a new grad will make anywhere from 19-26 ish has been my experience thus far, degree type doesn't seem to make a difference in pay, it may just give you a leg up in a hospital :)

It's good to know I am not alone with this. Today was the second time in two weeks I drove home in tears, because my day was just that bad. And it doesn't start badly, but ends badly. I just started a month ago, and over the last couple of weeks have...

So I took my NCLEX this morning, and let me tell you, I have NEVER felt more defeated in my ENTIRE life, I didn't know a single thing I was answering! I shut off at 75, and, though part of me was hoping for it to, I still nearly hyperventilated and t...

NH. and I am offiflcial now!"

Yeah I have checked it like five times, and the BON like 5 times as well. Nothing on the BON yet, I will check during my lunch break tomorrow-hopefully I won't be working under an invalid license number since I have my temp

Congratulations! I just took my NCLEX today, and got the good pop up as well!

I take mine on Wednesday, and have been doing the NCLEX 3500 and bought the Kaplan review from B&N. And I have to say, I'm glad my exam is in the morning, b/c the reivew questions I did in the morning I was in the 80%, the ones I did in the eveni...

Sine I have not taken and passed my boardss yet, I consider myself a graduate nurse waiting on the.state to process my temp license until I pass my boards. Though at my job that I got hired as an RN I'm not sure how I will sign to begin with? Cause I...

Once you fill put one application and save everything you can just apply and hit the continue buttons straight through. Though I did hear today they wont even lookat you until You're licensed. I'm graduating in may from great bay community college th...

So I finally sent outs my resume and applied to probably 6 depts there. I couldn't find a direct contact for hr maybe I was being special but its kind of annoying because how am I supposed to get my recommendations off to them if I don't know who to ...

I too graduate in May. I was reading a little more closely and it looks like we have to actually have a license in our hands, but depending on when you decide to take your NCLEX, it could be as soon as June I think I may contact HR anyway and see wh...

The vast majority of their postings I have seen,for experience they simply require a graduate nurse! And a couple of other positions have "preferred.....(insert here)", but not REQUIRED. I'm applying there myself!!!

I hope there's nothing wrong with you, b/c if there is, there is something wrong with me too. Because I am in my last semester as well, and came to this realization recently. I KNOW NOTHING. Absolutely NOTHING

If it's not too late for you to take those classes then yes, because they do transfer for credit :) So if you take your anatomy over at school it should transfer as a transfer credit.:yeah:And you will be one class closer. Also see if any of the core...

There is a composite score but it doesn't matter because they don't really look at it supposedly. With scores like that if you have done your anatomys there is a chance of being waitlisted. Worse case if you need to apply again They keep your higher...

You definatley want to get your A&P I and II out of the way, to get your extra admission points, it may even be a part of the admission requirement now-they had changed things for this year. You will need to take the accuplacer test and place at ...
