  3. 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. 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...
  5. Yeah, I'm in the same boat. The man and spawn just can't seem to get it through their knuckle-heads that I NEED TO STUDY!!! It doesn't matter how many times I plead and/or scream at them, they'll...
  6. which littman for the ER?

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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...

  15. The Dreaded Resume

    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!

    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

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

    Landau is the company who did the scrub fittings when I was admitted nearly two years ago. I haven't heard anything, through the grapevine, about any changes. In fact, the SNA is pretty good about...
