  2. My friend started the a BSN program 2 months after we got pinned in December, but she's CRAZY! Personally, I wouldn't be able to do it, but that's just me. She's also worked at the ER she's at for...

  5. Which comes first - OR or Med-Surg?

    That's weird....I have yet to see a post that required no nursing experience. I might not have started in Med/Surg if I'd found

  10. I feel so much better!!!

    No, it doesn't matter about the last name...it's how fast your school gets your transcripts in. A girl I started orientation with 2 weeks ago had taken hers the week before that and STILL hasn't...
  11. Did you use Kaplan??

    Just took the NCLEX today...feel like crap about it. I did Kaplan, but I went waaaayyy past 75 before it shut me off. YUCK!!! Hope it wasn't as bad as it felt! I just didn't want to have to do the...
  12. And now I'm scared! :uhoh21: I have moments when I think I'll be okay, and then others when I feel like no matter what I do, I'll never know enough. It's the NCLEX

  19. Relocation to California question

    I live in Roseville and just got hired at Sutter Roseville. Since I'm a new grad (IP) my wage will be $33.99/hr and night shift differential is $4.40 (which is good for me since I, too, prefer the...
  20. New Grad kinda worried

    I just got hired on an Oncology/tele/palliative care unit (I start on June 4th or when my IP comes!) and I don't know what to expect. I liked my oncology days in school, but they were in an...
  21. Question for you NY people :P

    I'm from California and I've wanted to move to Manhattan for the longest time, but I wouldn't be able to do it for a while. I was just wondering where you work and how good the pay is with how...
  22. I Love Or!

    I'm thinking about going into OR nursing after I get a couple years of Med/Surg and feel competant (if it happens that quickly!) and I had a question: How long does it take to learn the names of all...
  23. Does MSN make a difference?

    I don't even have my BSN yet and wasn't even considering an MSN, but I really did like being in school and was just wondering if there are any major reasons to do it. Also, I'm slightly...
