  1. So I've been picked as an "alternate"

    pinkiepie_RN replied to kayty2339's topic in General Students

    When I applied for NS, I was "wait listed" when the letters of acceptance went out at the end of May. I received a letter in the mail in the middle of July saying that I'd been taken off of the...

  2. Psych nursing books??

    pinkiepie_RN replied to marilynmom's topic in Psychiatric

    I can't say it's any good, but I found a textbook on Amazon.com about behavioral modification, which sounds like it might be appropriate for the ODD type patient....

  3. Policy on Tattoo's & Piercings

    pinkiepie_RN replied to kerric511's topic in General Nursing

    I recently got a tattoo with dress code policies in mind. I have "Carpe Diem" in small script writing on the inside of my right wrist. It's easily covered by my watch and just to be certain, when I...

  4. If i have a bs degree in biology how can i become a RN?

    pinkiepie_RN replied to wcrowell's topic in General Nursing

    I have a friend from NS who got all the way into her senior year of her Bachelors in Biology and realized she wanted to go for nursing. She took the pre-reqs while still working on her degree,...

  5. PDA's...do you use them in your clinical, really?

    pinkiepie_RN replied to JBGC4's topic in General Students

    I *loved* having my PDA to look up drugs on Epocrates (a free program) and also for looking up s/sx of disorders. It's not a must, but I had a Palm

  6. Recommendation for a white lab coat?

    pinkiepie_RN replied to prodigy's topic in General Nursing

    I was "required" to buy a lab coat by my NS and wore it all of 3 times during the whole experience. Definitely not worth the money to spend on a good one. It was knee length I

  7. Maryland / DC Psych RNs? Please advise...

    pinkiepie_RN replied to Maura001's topic in Psychiatric

    I worked as a tech at Sheppard Pratt (in Towson, about 20 minutes from Baltimore), which is a pretty well known hospital and has a wide variety of specialties. That said, I know I'll always be able...

  9. ERI Question for those who have done it

    pinkiepie_RN replied to howsoon's topic in General Students

    I took the ERI and it was formatted like the NCLEX (I think there were some SATA maybe and it was multiple choice and timed) but the material was much more hit or miss. I felt like what was covered...

  10. Parents at Orientation

    pinkiepie_RN replied to lak20019's topic in General Students

    I think it's more common to see parents at general undergrad orientation, but definitely not nursing school orientation. In my BSN program, I was already a junior in college and would have been...

  11. First few weeks/month as a new grad - check in

    pinkiepie_RN replied to pinkiepie_RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Congrats! One of my close friends from NS wanted a job in a teaching hospital's MICU but got one instead in their stepdown, which is apparently close to the environment she worked in at a community...

  12. First few weeks/month as a new grad - check in

    pinkiepie_RN replied to pinkiepie_RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Aww...there are a few places where I live that won't take you before passing NCLEX, but that's not the

  13. clip board with or without calculator attached...which is better?

    pinkiepie_RN replied to JBGC4's topic in General Students

    I definitely got one that opened up for storage and had the calculator on top. It was useful to have right there with your paperwork to do I&O and stuff like that. The less stuff I have with...

  14. First few weeks/month as a new grad - check in

    pinkiepie_RN replied to pinkiepie_RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

  16. First few weeks/month as a new grad - check in

    pinkiepie_RN replied to pinkiepie_RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    How soon after graduation did you take the NCLEX and how close to starting orientation was it scheduled? Congrats on being so far into the new grad program. I could have started June 12th but wanted...

  17. Coppin State University Nursing Students

    pinkiepie_RN replied to Iwantobeanurse's topic in General Students

    I feel it was a decent program but that there is alot you have to teach yourself at times and you do have to ask instructors for help if you're not getting something. Most of the instructors are...

    pinkiepie_RN replied to Iwantobeanurse's topic in General Students

    I think a moderator might be able to move this

  19. Coppin State University Nursing Students

    pinkiepie_RN replied to Iwantobeanurse's topic in General Students

    Apparently they're adding a 2nd med/surg and doing away with leadership, starting with incoming juniors. I felt like the program prepared me, but some of my peers got away with doing very little and...

  20. Just graduated. Waitin to be approved for the Nclex-RN...HELP!!!

    pinkiepie_RN replied to Kambili's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I took a Kaplan review class, am doing Qbank questions, and am reviewing content from my NCLEX review books. I would recommend studying before you receive your ATT because it really is a good idea to...

    pinkiepie_RN replied to Iwantobeanurse's topic in General Students

    You might find more of a response if you post on the Maryland Nurses board (Region > United States > Maryland Nurses, on the bar @ the top). I just graduated from Towson University and could...

  23. ATT e-mail

    pinkiepie_RN posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Soooo...it seems like everyone in my class got the ATT e-mail today. I called Pearson Vue and they confirmed all my information and said I should receive it within the next 24 hours. Has anyone else...

  24. ATT e-mail

    pinkiepie_RN replied to pinkiepie_RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    So just an update, after deciding that my e-mail inbox must have eaten the ATT e-mail, I called Kaplan and had them send it to another e-mail address. I got it within the hour and am registered for...

  25. ATT e-mail

    pinkiepie_RN replied to pinkiepie_RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Oh I've definitely been checking there. Funny story, it keeps marking my mother's e-mails to me as Spam because all of her subject lines start with
