  1. Job Offer. Should I take it????????????

    Lunaticus replied to gerry79's topic in Texas Nursing

    I hate to be the voice of decent, but I haven't heard many good things about Arlington Memorial (if that's the hospital to which you're referring). In fact, I work with an accomplished nurse who was...

    Lunaticus replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  3. New Grads- What floor where you hired for?

    Lunaticus replied to ibme's topic in First Year After Licensure

    With so many new grads having difficulties obtaining employment, I made myself a promise that I would accept the first job that I was offered which ended up being telemetry. My dream job would have...

  4. Pearsonvue Trick Is this TRUE? Does it work every time?

    Lunaticus replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Took the NCLEX-RN today at 2:00 pm. Just tried the Pearson Vue trick, and I was not allowed to proceed to the credit card page! Of course, I'll know for sure on Thursday, but I feel a bit calmer...

    Lunaticus replied to kadell's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I love my Master Cardiology! It does take a bit getting used to alternating between light and heavy pressure, but that stethoscope just can't be beat, in my

  7. Buying a Stethoscope

    Lunaticus replied to _Angel_'s topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    In my personal opinion, while the Littmann Lightweight is indeed inexpensive and decent for the beginning, nursing student, it falls woefully behind as your skills increase. By the start of my third...

  8. El Centro / Northlake ADN orientation

    Lunaticus replied to onedayCRNA's topic in Texas Nursing

    Seriously, the books are CRAZY expensive, so if funds are tight, just get your Potter/Perry and Iggy. Those were the ONLY two books I purchased for the entire duration of nursing school. I utilized...

  9. HESI vs. NCLEX

    Lunaticus replied to SDA3694's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I really wish I could do the Kaplan review, but I just can't afford it. Unreallly, did you find that NCLEX was more generalized knowledge, or did they pick out the really random disease processes and...

  11. HESI vs. NCLEX

    Lunaticus replied to SDA3694's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    This is not the first time that I've heard that HESI was more difficult than NCLEX. I'm really worried, because I actually thought that HESI was fairly easy, and I did very well on the exam. I'm...

  12. Tcc or Northlake ? Please help

    Lunaticus replied to livinlife1257's topic in Texas Nursing

    I graduated from Northlake in May, and for the most part, I was very happy with my education. I found the instructors to be very helpful, and I can honestly say that I feel pretty confident heading...

    Best of luck to you Saphire! I'm still waiting for my ATT; my school is notoriously slow about sending them out. Be sure to let us know how you

  14. Pregnancy and Nursing School

    Lunaticus replied to mesa14's topic in General Students

    One of my dearest friends found herself pregnant midway through our second semester. She ended up suffering from PIH at about month eight, and was consequently placed on bedrest shortly before the...

  15. The Dreaded Resume

    Lunaticus posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm set to graduate in May, so I thought I'd get a jump on creating my resume. The more I work, however, the more questions I seem to have. For example, should I list all the hospitals/wards in...

  16. Terrified of NCLEX!

    Lunaticus posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Okay, so I took the HESI and passed with what I feel to be a pretty decent score of 1047. To be truthful, I felt the exam was significantly easier than what I had expected. Now, I've heard that if...

  17. New Jurisprudence Exam

    Lunaticus replied to texasrtkd's topic in Texas Nursing

    The Jurisprudence exam took me less than twenty minutes to complete. It really is simple, common sense. No need to stress over

    Lunaticus replied to mom35's topic in Texas Nursing
