Miss Chybil RN BSN, RN

AlbinoToad, you sound like my twin. I graduated in December, too. I have my license. I've applied to every job that doesn't say "experience required" and I've yet to get a nibble. I got one from out of state, but ultimately, didn't get the job. Now, ...

Do a search on PVT - Pearsonvue Trick - here on allnurses. Of course, that won't help you get the results for your job. Sorry. I tried to delete this, but I don't know how.

The nurse did not Assess where the NG (nasogastric) tube was positioned before administering the feeding. Without first assessing she had no way of Diagnosing the problem. She did not even care that the patient had a problem. Without diagnosing the p...

Congratulations on your new job! :balloons:

You haven't offended me, but I used to use the X-mas thing all the time until one of my friends said something to me about it. She said it was disrespectful. I figure if she felt like that, maybe others did, too. Not to worry. I'm sure, if somebody's...

I just finished filling out a job application that had a "Skills Assessment" at the end. There were 79 questions. It said it timed how long it took you to answer a question. Once you chose an answer, you couldn't change it and if you did it would sti...

I can't be anything other than honest on a test like that. One, they ask you the same question more than once to see if you answer it the same way every time. Two, it's too hard to figure out what they're looking for because the questions are so off ...

I don't know the answer to your question and I don't really consider myself a Christian, but the way you spelled Christian in your headline could be considered disrespectful. I could be wrong, but that might be why you haven't gotten an answer to yo...

You see, if I saw that question, I'd think, "Are they trying to see if I'm an honest person? Nobody likes to clean up after a party, do they?" and I would put "No." But, then I'd say what if they think that means I'm lazy? Who makes up this stuff, an...

thank you! the pearonvue trick. search pvt or pearsonvue trick. it's a way you can see if you passed without waiting for the results.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! :balloons: You are blessed! Good luck in your new position!

Hopefully, I can go to sleep tonight! My test is at 0800. I feel good and I'm nervous at the same time. The last 3+ years comes down to this: 75 - 300 questions. No pressure, right? Wish me luck! :uhoh21:

Thanks! Don't study the day before and get a good night's sleep. Eat breakfast. Get there early. Relax. Use earplugs, if you're easily distracted. They give them to you there. Read each question and all of the answers before choosing an answer. Know ...

Really? For a New Grad RN? Do you happen to have the name of the hospital?

Thank you!!!! LOL! Isn't that the truth! Luckily my license came in the mail on Wednesday. That really made me feel good!

I passed! My state board had it posted the next day, but I did the trick like 20 minutes after I got home from taking the test and it worked. Thanks!

Thank you!

Thank you! Hopefully, I'll know in the next day, or two... :)

Try checking your board of nursing site and see if you're a nurse!

Apology accepted. And I do agree with you about the media and the nursing school advertisements.

When we received our clinical instructions they said to shower, wear clean uniforms, use non-scented deodorant, and do not use scented lotions or perfumes. Period.

It's not about the letters. It's about the training. You really do learn something in that extra year it takes to get the RN. Really. I'm sure they are all wonderful nurses and people, but I'm wondering why they never went back to school. Did they re...

So, they're hiring baby RNs in your facility? Nice. I'm sorry about your friend. I'm curious why she didn't get her RN in all those 33 years? I have a friend like this as well. It doesn't make sense to me really. It's just a year of school and with a...

This is what ticked me off the most about your blog post, MadWife. All I could think of was, "How dare you? Who are you to question my motives, or my passion, or my compassion, or anyone else's here on this board?" And what is it to you, or anybody e...

Congratulations! :)
