  1. DTCC Student

    Stretch, Sorry, but I can't help you with the points systems. When I started at Del Tech, you were admitted into clinicals based almost solely on your score on the NLN. I scored really well on it,...
  2. I start working on the floor tomorrow. Oh my gosh. I'm sooooo scared! :sofahider I officially started on Monday, but had three days of classes. Tomorrow I'll be starting on my unit (MICU Step...
  3. Nursing Uniform Policy

    I'd totally support this. I'm a firm believer in nurses wearing something that distinguishes them from CNA/PCT's, Docs, or whomever. I've been in the hospital. My hubby's been in the hospital....
  4. Need a good ICU book

    Just a funny anecdote. I'm starting in the MICU StepDown on Monday. New older nurse (40yo) and for some reason I lost my mind and accepted a job there. (Actually I'm excited, but scared out of my...
  5. Need a good ICU book

    Just a funny anecdote. I'm starting in the MICU StepDown on Monday. New older nurse (40yo) and for some reason I lost my mind and accepted a job there. (Actually I'm excited, but scared out of my...
  6. Did I take too long to job hunt?

    It really shouldn't matter. I graduated in May, took and passed the NCLEX in July, and really didn't start looking seriously until mid-August. I just accepted a position. I interviewed everywhere....
  7. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    :roll :rotfl:
  8. Share Your Saying

    This aren't lovely quotes, but they are funny Southernisms: (To be used after someone's had a particularly rough night) Your eyes look like two pi$$ holes in the sand. Busy as a cat covering up...
  9. Need Help A.s.a.p.!

    I used an NLN study guide entitled "Review Guide for RN Pre-Entrance Exam" by Mary McDonald. It was the only one available at the time. It was a fairly thick text and it covered all the material...
  10. 6th TIME WAS THE CHARM FOR ME!!!!!!!

    Congratulations, Sheryl, . Way to hang in there! Cindy :balloons: :balloons: :balloons:
  11. Last question correct?

    I honestly don't know where this theory came from, but if you think about it it does make sense. But it only makes sense if you get more than 75 or less than 265 questions. If you get more than 75...
  12. Taking The Nclex-rn Tomorrow 7/15

    I'd just like to say one little thing...I PASSED! WOO HOO! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :balloons: :balloons: :balloons: :kiss :kiss :kiss :roll :roll...
  13. Taking The Nclex-rn Tomorrow 7/15

    Cheryl and Alliecat, Congratulations! I'm so happy for you. I took it on Friday, too, but still don't know the results. My state isn't a one where you can find out on the website or call. I just...
  14. Taking The Nclex-rn Tomorrow 7/15

    I'll be taking it with you tomorrow 7/15 at 9 a.m. I'm not looking forward to it at all! Good luck to all!
  15. Definitely review the kidneys. They're so important. If you're very unfamiliar with the liver and what it does...review. And, especially if you're a nursing student, understand the heart anatomy...
  16. Unfriendly RN's during clinicals

    Fortunately, most of the RN's I came into contact with during my clinical rotations were really helpful, but my advice to you for the ones who are less than helpful is this: KISS HIS/HER BEHIND! I...
  17. First time teaching MedSurg Nsg

    And one other thing: At the school I just graduated from we were able to print out the power points for the lecture before we even came to the lecture. This enabled us to take notes right on our...
  18. First time teaching MedSurg Nsg

    I'll give you an example. While we I agree with the above statements completely! I like an instructor that lectures from a powerpoint, but uses the powerpoint and expands upon each topic. I love...
  19. PDA's-Are They Worth It?

    NascarFan, What's the name of the skills program that you have? As I'm soon to be starting as a new nurse, that sounds like a pretty handy program to have. Thanks.
  20. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    What a wonderful experience, Tammy! Just beautiful!
  21. Anyone ever taken clinical telecourse??

    Sounds like you're doing pretty well. How you do in Ron's A&P is a fairly good indication of how you'll do in nursing courses although it is different. It's just so much easier to get behind in...
  22. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    This isn't hospital related (I just graduated and I hope I don't run into any ghosts too soon...I have enough to worry about already!), but it is a ghost story. Actually, it's a story that happened...
  23. Anyone ever taken clinical telecourse??

    Jennifer, I just graduated from the Stanton DTCC nursing program in May. Sorry that I didn't see your post earlier, but this past semester was a really busy one. Yes, I have taken several nursing...
  24. my ADN program not so good?

    I just graduated from Delaware Tech Stanton Campus - you know, just over the bridge from you. We have a lot of students that live in southern Jersey. Anyway, I was just talking to one of my nursing...
  25. NCLEX torture

    Here in Delaware we don't have quick results either, but you can go to our State Board of Nursing page and there's a list of nurses. As soon as you pass the NCLEX your name goes up on that page. It...
