Don't need these any more and thought you all could use them. Most are taken and formatted from the 'random facts' thread. Adult.doc Diagnostic Signs.doc Infant.doc Pediatric.doc PHARMACOLOGY.doc Pregnancy.doc Personal Protective Equipment.doc

Like many other in this forum I have been searching for a nursing job since graduating nursing school and passing the NCLEX. I live in California and have interviewed at hospitals as far east as Washington DC; as far north as Washington State and of...

Bump. Thought you December grads could use these. :-)

Also try browsing craigslist for a seamstress - for like $5-7 they'll slim a shirt so it fits your torso better.

At the three month mark on Sunday and I would say I'm about 70% competent/knowledgable/can navigate around the landmines. Making some mistakes for the first time are out of my control; but I am able to prevent them in the future. I know that the sp...

2nd vote for uniform advantage. They've got a great clearance section. :-D

Yes, in hospitals. Problem?

Offered a job in Sacramento.

I never scored above 73% on Kaplan's QB and passed the NCLEX w/75 questions.

Nope. Would have chosen pre-med and ROTC and been a pursued an MD degree in emergency medicine. As they say tho; hindsight is 20/20. I'm an RN now, and enjoy the job.
