My understanding is that its $70,000 to start. No thanks. My manager has been a nurse for 17 years and I have been a nurse since May. With enough overtime, I'll make more than her this year. And I don't I won't carry a pager at all times, come in to ...
I would take the office job, and then if at all possible try to find something prn at a hospital to do occasionally. I think that would make you very attractive to for L&D in the future.
I PASSED!!!!!!!!!!! I was so sure I failed. I checked the BON website all day yesterday and my name wasn't under the licensee lookup and I thought "I must have failed" and at 8:40 this morning (exactly 48 hours after I finished testing) my quick resu...

Mine shut off at 76. I'm glad I didn't have to do too many more because I was pretty much brain dead at that point. I do not feel good about it at all. It was crazy hard. There were several meds I'd never heard of and I had at least 15 select all th...
I read on another post somewhere today a couple of posters who tested on a Thursday got results on Saturday about the same time they finished their test. I don't know if this varies by state or what. I took mine today and I am about to lose my mind. ...
I just got my ATT yesterday, and much to my dismay the only test dates in state were for today(!) and in June. I had been waiting very impatiently for my ATT because I am getting married June 7th, and I was determined to take the test before the wedd...
I am graduating from an ADN program in May and have accepted a position on a medical floor with a base rate of $20.52/hour. I will be signing up with a new program where I will get a $10 shift differential for agreeing to work 50 out of 52 weekends (...
I don't know much about the working environments at any of the hospitals in Columbia, but I do know that Palmetto Health, Lexington Medical Center, and Providence all start new grads at about $19/hour. I haven't heard anything bad about any of these ...
I go to bigwords.com. You can type in all the ISBNs and it will show you the cheapest places to get your books. You will actually be buying the books from places like amazon, barnes and noble, and textbook.com, but it will do the searching for you an...
Its my understanding that it is not a vaccine against cervical cancer but against HPV which is a major risk factor for cervical cancer. Wouldn't there be even bigger implications if it were a vaccine against cancer?
I am a little curious how care plans differ from one school to another. I am in my second semester of an ADN program. We have to do 3 care plans each week. For each one we have to do 2 pages of pathophysiology, come up with 5 nursing diagnoses, then ...
Those of you who haven't started your programs yet would be very wise to start now! It has been next to impossible for me get motivated now that I am in school all the time! I have 10 pounds that I need to lose, but I would really like to lose 25-30....
I have often wondered about this because I am only 5'6" and I have to buy tall scrubs and a lot of times the inseam is only 31". That is hardly "tall".
Our care plans do not count towards a certain percentage of our grade. They are pass/fail. I don't know exactly how they decide if they are satisfactory overall, but if I have a 100 average in my class and I don't do well enough on my careplans then ...
I have the same problem with several (actually most) of the instructors in my program. What really gets me is that we are required to be in class unless we have some sort of documented excuse. We spend so much time in class that I could be home study...
I forgot this part. We have clinicals Wednesday and Thursday. If at any time before noon on Thursday one of our patients is discharged, we are assigned another patient and have to turn in another care plan, along with the others at post conference at...
