Congratulations!!! I heard about Meditech being a bit "unwieldy" I guess but that is from an end user's perspective. Good luck!

JUST got hired today! My start date is on October 20th and I am so excited. MSN next year is the plan. Yes I would love to be part of this group! It took me a year of patience and persistence but I finally landed the position of Clinical Application...

Count me in! I am a floor nurse but hoping to transition to NI. Very difficult in my rural area but I am trying not to lose hope. I have participated in a GoLive at my current facility as a credentialed trainer and I am aiming for a Clinical Nurse An...

Hi everyone! I got selected at work to be trained as a certified trainer at the end of July (two weeks). We are about to transition to Epic and a lot of other bigger facilities in my network have already gone live with it. Supposedly, we will be tra...

I always come in early so I have time to get ready before report. We just switched over to a new system so we had to get acclimated a bit to workflow adjustments. I generally look up meds, h&p's, vs, orders, labs, progress notes and any signific...

I took mine through Ferris State. You could possibly take a math class online if it is required though through them and generally BSN would require a statistics class, which means you have to take an algebra class (or whatever stat pre req they woul...

Thanks! We are actually relocating next year (my current employers are aware) and I was interviewed at another facility for the position of Clinical Informatics Nurse Specialist. I am hoping that I get the position although the commute is going to be...

Are you at liberty to say the name of the kind of software/system your are using? PM me if you cannot. :) Thanks!

I'm probably one of the "quiet kids" at work and I am fairly new. People seem to talk a lot about their kids (e.g. graduation, college, prom etc.), food/recipes, diets and trips. Since it is a community hospital in a small town, throw in some gossip...

About an hour away with no traffic. The drive is easy but tough in the winter time, tougher after a midnight shift.

Congratulations!

I travel 55 miles one way to where I work. I love my workplace but with winter time looming ahead, I am not all that excited about trying to finish up a noc shift and driving in the snow. There is a possibility of applying in town (3 mins away from m...

New grad (December - RN), passed my boards last March, but I worked as an LPN at a skilled nursing home before being hired for Med/Surg/Peds as an RN last May. I was a teacher for 13+ years before I became a nurse. JUST finished my 6+ week orientati...

I work LTC and we do have the two 15 min breaks and one 30 min lunch breaks. All breaks are paid because they can page you to come back to the floor should something come up. We just have first or second break and we just sort of automatically check ...

No prep course. I just used the Saunders book. Passed with 75 questions. In my graduating class, I think only one person failed the NCLEX - RN (as far as I know), and most of us have RN jobs right now (LTC and hospital). I wanted to take a course bu...

I passed!!! Woot!

I took the NCLEX - RN Thursday am. I felt like I passed. When I got home, I checked PVT and I got the "good" pop up. I really hope its all true, but I am nervous about the possibility that I failed. Until I get my actual license number, I can't reall...

Hello all. I looked at the site for RN residency information and I know that it is now open for applications for the February cohort. I would love to apply for this but I won't have my license by the deadline (I graduate December of this year). My ...

Thanks! And yes, the situation isn't all that promising here either, but oh well.

The last class before mine had a tough time scheduling their board exams. I would love to apply for this for the February cohort. December 17th is my last day and I am hoping to take the boards as soon as they will allow us to take it. Do you have ...

At our facility, we do have that hour window before and after and unless you have a wing and 3/4 (which would be almost forty people), you really "only" have 23+ people. What I try to do before I start the med pass is to have everything ready (equip...

The trick worked for me, my classmate who took it with me, and another classmate who took it a few days after we did. Now I personally do not know anyone who actually reached the CC page so...

Yay you!

Yay! I passed! I hope my friend did too. He got the pop up as well so I hope he checks his unofficial results today. :yeah:

Of course I am sitting here, stalking the pearson vue web site as well as MIBoN! I am so anxious! I suppose the soonest time to find out is tomorrow (quick results) but the wait is stressful.
