  1. How hard is it for a new grad to find a hospital job???

    Kiringat replied to ohcomeon's topic in General Nursing

    I made the mistake of waiting until after graduation to find a nursing job. There is now a new-grad glut in my area and I'm having a hard time just getting interviews. It also isn't helping that I...

    Kiringat replied to paperdreams's topic in General Nursing

    Me too! I know loads of theory, and can write a care plan in 10 seconds flat, but as for actually working a hospital floor...:sofahider: I just hope I get lucky enough to have an understanding...

  7. The Day Before....

    Kiringat replied to NurseGreenEyes RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  9. Well, that was.... weird

    Kiringat posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Just got back from the testing center. Got the "blue screen of death" at 75 questions. So I figure I either did really well, or blew it completly. I had a tears/wimpering breakdown as I was...

    Kiringat replied to Kiringat's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thank you for the encouragement, everyone. I have a couple months of fun taped TV (go Northwestern!!) to catch up on, so between that and some liquid bravery I'll be OK. And CT Pixie, congrats on...

  11. VA Nursing

    Kiringat replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in General Nursing

    I did my senior internship at the VA, and loved it. I know they hire ADNs, I would be thrilled to work there, but the application process is trully insane, and I need a job. So hopefully I can get...

    Kiringat replied to emilysmom,RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  13. Fun things to do while waiting for results

    Kiringat replied to lroseb's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'll be watching movies and catching up on some taped Mythbusters episodes with a pitcher or two of sangria. Not the best coping mechanism, but I figure I'll have earned it.

  14. NCLEX CDs

    Kiringat replied to Seagate's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The Saunder's CD has worked really well for me. The questions are tougher than some of the other sources I used, and I like the detailed rationales given. I also inherited a copy of the NCLEX 3500,...

  15. How does forking over $179 for ANA membership benefit me?

    Kiringat posted a topic in General Nursing

    I will (hopefully) finally be an RN in about two weeks- and I'm looking into getting my ANA membership. There was no exposure to the association at anytime during school, and nearly everyone at work...

  16. How does forking over $179 for ANA membership benefit me?

    Kiringat replied to Kiringat's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for the feedback everyone! I really do appreciate the info, because it is important to me that I join a nurses' organization after I'm licensed. It'll need some more research before I...

  19. customer service and nursing

    Kiringat replied to nads786's topic in General Nursing

    I'm working as a unit clerk until I pass the NCLEX, and lets just say that its depressingly similar to the retail jobs I've had in the past. Granted, it is a glorified secretary position, so no...

  20. New Grads - where is there a nursing glut?

    Kiringat replied to spudbunny's topic in First Year After Licensure

    The Denver metro area! Its horrible! I'm going to have to move back to AZ if I don't get a job soon. I keep getting the whole "hospital experience without anyone offering hospital positions to new...

  21. How strict is/was your nursing school concerning your appearance?

    Kiringat replied to KarynicaRN's topic in General Nursing

    For lecture classes, we were told we were adult learners and were expected to act/dress like it. For labs and clinicals, the dress code sounded alot like yours... except we had a "no thong"...

    Kiringat replied to Helping_Hands's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Wow, you've been through the wringer. Lots of hugs for you! It might be best to take a day off to relax and reflect on your options. You have time to change your test date, which would give you...

  24. Will you work during a Pandemic?

    Kiringat replied to Goju's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I would go to work in a pandemic. Partially because I don't have a SO or kids to worry about and partially because by the time the fragmented and wacky health system in this country figures out there...

  25. most enjoyable nursing books for pleasure / films

    Kiringat replied to aussiemags's topic in General Nursing
