Hello all! I am finally back :) I have been a nurse for 3 years. I have only peds and newborn experience. My first love is definitely pediatrics. I am in the newborn nursery now, but am having issues with management, wishing to leave night shift, and...

thanks to both noahsmama and wonderbee, we definitely should keep eachother posted on the positions we took, noahsmama :) what are the odds of both of us being peds backgroud. thanks to you wonderbee, for the very smart and practical advice. i know w...

Only one response in a pm. but just wanted to update that I got the position. I am so excited for the opportunity. I cant wait to get started. I will post back in a few weeks with updates.

I am so happy for you. that job really sounds awesome. Sounds right up my alley. I have really been looking for a community health or clinic position. It must feel great to be part of a facility that goes above and beyond for the clients.

Hi All, I was wondering if anyone has taken the NCLEX-Rn review by the Hurst Review. I have been reading other forums on the Kaplan review, and they are offering a course at our school for us after we graduate. I talked to some nurses and even a nurs...

Hi all, I have so many feelings that I just have to get them out of me. I know that I have seen so many friendly nurses provide information and help/ advice, so I thought that I could use some of the advice that I am always seeing offered to other ne...

1. How many questions did you take on NCLEX? 75 Questions 2. What study materials did you use? Did you take a test review course? I took a Hurst review for NCLEX 3. Did your SON offer any testing (ERI, ATI, HESI)? We started with ERI, then switched ...

Thanks realityrn, and to everyone who replied. My anxiety has decreased some, and I feel a little better. I have working as a gradnurse(extern) for about a month, so I feel mostly oriented to the unit, but not so much yet with other things I will be ...

Thanks to everyone who replied, it means a lot to me. I feel so much support here, and it helps to hear from nurses who have gone through similar situations. I love most of the staff there. I work days for now, and they are great. I just have a lot o...

Do you have the Saunder's NCLEX review. I did SSSSOOOOO many questions that I lost count. That is all that I did, and I passed the first time our school gave the test. Our school gave us two chances or we couldn't graduate, but it was nice to pass th...

Can I join the club too? :) I graduated on May 11th, and I feel such a relief, and such happiness. I am a graduate nurse! I just came back from my last day of Hurst review( which was awesome by the way). I start officially as a graduate nurse this Mo...

Thanks Suzanne4, I had been wondering about this too.

Thanks both of you. Me and some classmates are trying to work out all of us going to a Hurst review for 4 days. i think we all have Saunders too, so I hope we will do okay. Thanks

Sorry

My favorite content was OB, Peds, Neuro, Endocrine. Least favorite was our Psych and Med Surg 1 class. It was right after our fundamentals class and the transition into real disorders and nursing interventions was a little tough for me. Surprisingly...

Hi Crystal, Good luck to you during your job search. I enjoyed my pediatric clinicals so much, that after my rotation, I stayed in contact with my instructor,( she was SO helpful to me throughout everything), and I applied to the unit. It is a large ...

You are definitely not getting "old." I agree with you 100%. I am only 22, but it seems as though the older I get, I see less and less professionalism and courtesy. My mom and dad have always accepted nothing less than courtesy and respect in my beha...

To the OP: Do not be intimidated by the HESI. I don't think that it was that bad, but I was well prepared.By all means study though. I worked myself into a frenzy before and during the HESI, even with the amount of review quesitons I did beforehand. ...

Congrats to all of the 2007 Grads!!!!! It seemed as if this time would never come. My official last hurdle is over. Our class had our HESI exit exam this week and I made a 999. Well enough over the 850 required for us to pass. I passed my Peds HESI w...

I just took our school's HESI exit exam today. We had to get an 850 to pass as well. When I took a look at my old score report, it said that 850 was a passing score, but 900 was recommended score. Our school is using the HESI as a graduation requirem...

Hi all, I am an RN nursing student. It is getting down to the wire of my last semester and it is actually looking like I will graduate in May. I have applied for a Pediatric RN position at the closest teaching hospital about 30 mins away. I don't kno...
