    Should I apply as a nurse even though I've yet to be licensed?

    Lennonninja replied to mmm cdiff's topic in General Nursing

    I'd say go ahead and start applying, but also check with the hospitals you're sending applications to. Some will let you apply before you pass boards, some won't. It certainly can't hurt to try...

    Anyone wear a pedometer or Nike + iPod to work?

    Lennonninja replied to TacoBelle's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a tech and I wear my pedometer on every shift. I usually average 5-7 miles per night (on a floor of 12 patients where I'm the only tech) and I've had a few nights where I passed the 9 mile

    Nursing Shoes

    Lennonninja replied to AlleycatLPN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I have some New Balance walking shoes. Tried some Cherokee "nursing" shoes first semester and they were wretched. After graduation I think I might get some Timberland Pro Renovas. I tried them once...

    Time Management; How do you manage your time?

    Lennonninja replied to islandfevergirl's topic in General Students

    I plan my life with my Google calendar. All of my homework assignments and tests are in there so I know when they're coming. Then I can schedule in study times for each test. My work schedule is in...

    Please Translate to Spanish

    Lennonninja replied to Kristy_joyz's topic in General Students

    You can get these translated all you want, but unless you understand even a little Spanish, you're not going to be able to understand their answers. And if you only understand a little Spanish, it...

    What do you do to destress?

    Lennonninja replied to MouseMichelle's topic in General Nursing

    I destress by watching Netflix, playing World of Warcraft, baking cupcakes, and going to the gym. Hopefully the cupcakes don't cancel out the gym too much

    When should you start applying?

    Lennonninja replied to shaps926's topic in General Students

    The hospital we do clinicals at let us start applying last week. I got my job offer yesterday (can't start until after boards though). My process was a lot faster though because I'll be an RN on the...

    Lennonninja replied to cee27's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I have the ATI NCLEX app for my iPod Touch and it's pretty awesome actually. It's normally about $20, but I won it free on Twitter since I follow them @ATInursing They do a lot of giveaways like

    2 months of school left!

    Lennonninja replied to Lennonninja's topic in General Students

    2nd semester (out of 4) I pretty much felt that way too. 3rd semester was super difficult, but I felt motivated and like I was actually finally getting it. Now this semester is a bunch of crap group...

    I think it'll probably go by pretty fast. This whole school year seems like it's flying

    Lennonninja replied to Lennonninja's topic in General Students

    I still had to apply like everyone else, but my manager was ON IT, and she already knew that she wanted to hire me and one of my friends/classmates/coworkers. Some of my other friends who also are...

    Lennonninja replied to SkiMama's topic in General Students

    I was interested in critical care, OR, and oncology before school started. I did an internship on a cardiac floor and now cardiac ICU is my DREAM JOB but I'll be starting out as a med surg nurse (just...

    Why do night shift nurses get paid more when day shift clearly does MORE work?

    Lennonninja replied to squatmunkie_RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm still just a tech, but on a typical night shift I'll walk/run between 5 and 9 miles in a 12 hour shift (12 patients) - not exactly sitting around and shopping online. I don't get to go to sleep...

    Job dilemma! Just looking for advice

    Lennonninja replied to HaylyAmber's topic in General Students

    Would they want to train a new tech that's graduating in 3 months? I wouldn't think that'd be the smartest choice of them to put in all that time training you to do a job for such a short time. But if...

    Have/were you accepted to more than one nursing school?

    Lennonninja replied to Cathylady's topic in General Students

    I applied to one school, but two different campuses (90 minutes away from each other). I was accepted at both, and decided to go to the campus that's only a few minutes from

    Unit secretary turned tele tech

    Lennonninja replied to tokmom's topic in General Nursing

    Tele techs at my hospital have a 16 hour class before they're allowed to do these things. Having just a little bit of informal training sounds dangerous. The central tele nurses come around and check...

    Countdown to Pinning

    Lennonninja replied to Turd Ferguson's topic in General Students

    I don't care about pinning just for the sake of pinning. We'll get our pins at graduation. I just wish that we had a little something that was just for the nursing students since we've all become such...
