Hi, I work on a tele/cardiac stepdown unit and there is a rumor that we might be going from primary nursing with 4-5 patients to team nursing. I was wondering if anyone had any opinions about this. I mean, I am still on orientation and trying to ge...
hi all. thank you for responding to my post. i worked today and it went really well. i only had two patients and i felt the day went smooth. i fully understand that this will not be typical of all my shifts but still, i felt good today. i voiced...
hi everyone! i am finally starting my new position on a busy cardiac tele floor. my first day on orientation was yesterday. it went fine, basically i was just dusting off the rust since i haven't had patient care since my last day of clinicals in ...
i am very excited to be starting this new job. of course, i am still waiting for the board of nursing to make me eligible to sit for the boards. they are very backed up. this floor is a tele floor. i am thrilled to work there, i think i will lear...
Just wanted to let everyone know that I am another success story to the pearsonvue trick! I just found out that I passed!!!! Oh my goodness, what a relief to know that it is over! Thank God! Congrats to all others that pass!
Hi all! I took the nclex-RN yesterday and I am dying waiting for the results. I was hoping to see my name on the board today, but nothing yet. I am hoping and assuming for tomorrow. I did the "trick" and I got the message about contacting the boa...
how long from the time that you sent in your paperwork to the board of nursing until you were able to take the nclex? i live in ohio and it has been 7wks since i sent in all of my paperwork and fees and i still haven't heard from anyone. only 2 peo...
I registered for everything online so I got it in the mail. It was 7 days from when the board showed me as pending that I got the att. This is business days, so don't count the weekend. My friends name was pending the same day as me and she got he...
Well, I finally showed pending on the OH site and today I got my att! It took 7 business days before I got my att. First available appt was for Aug 4th. I scheduled mine for Aug 11th. I am excited to finally know a test date but I am sooooo nervo...
I cannot believe how long Ohio is taking. I mean after reading all of these replies that other states are not taking as long, it makes me more and more furious. I got thru to them last Thursday and they informed me that they were working on apps th...
Kadel ~ when were you able to get thru to the board? I have tried for days straight and now on their website it says that the phones are down?! When did you send in your application? I sent mine on 5/15! This is absolutely ridiculous!!!
I don't have any advice for you unfortunately because I am a new grad and just starting out. I was responding so that others would maybe reply to this post because I am pregnant and am due this September. I plan on taking a shortened maternity leav...
Hi, I am graduating in May!!! I am so excited to be done with school and cannot wait to start my new career. I currently work for a hospital and am starting to put requests in to work as a staff nurse. Right now, there is not many jobs that are cu...
Thank you for your advice, it is so scary starting out because I know how important a first job can be and I just want to make the right choice. This helps so much!
Thank you both for your advice. This is such a hard decision. I do currently work in a hospital doing clerical work, so I would be able to attempt to transfer and keep my seniority. I guess I just think, who is going to hire a six month pregnant/n...
Hi, I am going to be graduating in May this year. I just found out that I am pregnant and am due Sept 26th. I am so scared of what this means for me. I really wanted to have another baby, but I was going to wait until I had a year experience first...
Hi, I have never posted a thread before but I have a question and I really need some advice. I am in my last semester and will graduate this May. I just found out that I am pregnant and am due in September. From what I gather, I will probably not ...
