    New Grad job help please!

    KimberlyRN89 replied to usa92503's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    When I was an LPN it was indeed a struggle to get an interview. Even the nursing homes in my area are backing away from hiring new lpns and rn's it doesn't hurt to go into a facility and ask for an...

    Is having an ADN really a terrible choice?

    KimberlyRN89 replied to Guest757854's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    As a former LPN, I do not support "phasing out". There are a lot of areas besides acute care, and I think it would probably be hard to attract RNs to these positions (i.e., methadone clinics,...

    How long did you have to wait to take Nclex-PN

    KimberlyRN89 replied to jlogan's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I finished my program 2/25/12, and tested 4/13/12 (Friday the 13th!!). I heard one of my professors say that the student has a greater chance of passing the nclex if they take it within 12 weeks of...

    BSN-prepared nurses are pretentious?

    KimberlyRN89 replied to KimberlyRN89's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Well I went to the interview but I don't know if it went so well. But that's okay! At least I still have another job, and I get the opportunity to be cross trained on the maternity floor , as well as...

    How many questions did you get on your NCLEX

    KimberlyRN89 replied to shawtii's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I got 85 on my LPN and 75 on my RN..but I don't think it matters as long as you pass! I had a couple of classmates fail at 75

    That book is amazing. 100% similar to the priority questions you will see on nclex. I can't say enough about the book

    Are nclex-rn review books virtually the same as pn review book?

    KimberlyRN89 replied to northmississippi's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I agree. Having used Saunders review books for the nclex-pn and nclex-rn I can attest to the fact they are different. While certain things like lab values, and general disease processes are the same,...

    Is having an ADN really a terrible choice?

    KimberlyRN89 replied to Guest757854's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I think my BSN was the only reason I got a job offer. The nurse manager mentioned that she decided to set up an interview because of it. It may be that hospitals are trying to shy away from the...

    KimberlyRN89 replied to Krystal2122's topic in Nursing Career

    Don't know if you have considered this or not, so I apologize if you have--but have you ever thought of working in a jail? My former company had medical assistants there. It was pretty much the same...

    Not wanting to take care of male resident

    KimberlyRN89 replied to MileyFans's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I took my CNA class when I was about your age. I had seen a member before , but never cleaned one lol. Honestly I think I was more "embarrassed" about doing peri care on a female. But eventually, I...

    New grads a good idea?

    KimberlyRN89 replied to chavezm1109's topic in Home Health

    I say go for it. One of my classmates in my LPN-BSN class was a home health nurse and she got great experience. And like you mentioned the hours were very flexible for her

    Whats your opinion on the Nclex learning extension?

    KimberlyRN89 replied to alchemist405's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I used it when studying for the nclex pn because it's pretty much the cheapest review out there. I think it was very thorough and detailed. The questions were harder than the actual nclex. I passed...

    KimberlyRN89 replied to calivianya's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I like your post. I too am a new grad and the market in my area is awful. I accepted a job in a small town in Pennsylvania and the pay is pretty okay (almost comparable to the starting pay in my...

    Too quiet to be a nurse?

    KimberlyRN89 replied to haileyjewell's topic in General Students

    I agree, that was very insensitive to say. But I say this as a warning- you may encounter much ruder remarks than that. Perhaps they will come from other instructors, or even from future coworkers....
