  1. I think you'll need to contact the Iowa Board of Nursing to ask them. You should find out before you complete all of the nursing coursework as there's no point in spending the time or money on it if...
  2. I just took a float position a few months ago and the dept is still expanding. The hospital has the float pools divided up though. I only work two different floors and there's at least two other float...
  3. LTACH vs. Clinic job

    Hi everyone, I just need some advice/input from fellow nurses. I'm a relatively new grad (12/08) and am currently working in an LTACH. Its not my dream job and I'm pretty unhappy here, but its...

  5. I'm cleaning out my nursing school stuff and I need to get rid of my ATI books. I'll mail them to you for free if you want them. I'd rather not just throw them out, so post here to claim them and I'll...
  6. Hi everyone, I'm looking to move and was wondering if anyone knew of the procedure to get a new license for another state. Both the state I am licensed in now and the one I want to move to are part of...
  7. changing licenses in compact states

    Thanks! Yes, I'm going to be moving into the other state. I just can't seem to figure out how to apply for a whole new license in the new state. I'll call the BON on Monday. Thanks for your advice,...

    That was exactly how my test went. Hopefully I'll pass too. I should find out tomorrow
  11. I took mine today and it shut off at 75 and I feel awful about it. I just hope I can come back here and post Saturday morning that somehow I passed too. Crossing my
  12. OK i really think I failed the Nclex

    I just took mine this morning too, and I had 75 questions. I didn't feel 100% confident on ANY of them. Like you, I'd read the question and think I was going to know the answer, and then none of the...
  13. In need of some serious advice

    Have you applied to a specific school associated with a hospital? If you have or you are planning to, call the school and ask if there's a HR representative that helps students find jobs. Often...
  14. Are There Any Sorority Women Here?

    Pi Beta Phi during college the first time. Not nursing school
  15. So I'm graduating this week from NS and have accepted a job offer on an inpatient dialysis floor. Can anyone tell me what to expect as a new grad? I've been browsing threads on here, and it seems that...
  16. OK, here's what I've found. I went ahead and created my own home page too since I plan on applying in a month or so. So I created the home page with a username and password. I used that to log in at...

  19. Graduating December 2008??

    Graduated last night! It feels weird to be in the no-man's land between student and licensed RN. Still no date for me to take the NCLEX. I should have an authorization to test/schedule soon I hope!...
  20. ? What do I do after I get my RN degree?

    L&D is generally a very popular unit for new grads, so expect some competition if your hospital accepts new grads. I've heard of panel interviews where you have to interview with the manager and...
  21. What are ATI review books and ATI exams?

    In my program we receive the ATI books at no extra charge (part of tuition I guess) and we take the exam pertaining to the course at the end of the semester. If we dont pass the first time, the...
  22. ATI Testing!!!!

    We also have to do the ATI testing at the end of each semester and the RN predictor at the end of the final semester. I think if you get a 76 on the predictor, you are 95% likely to pass the NCLEX on...
  23. Medical Assistant or Nursing Assistant

    MA's work under the direction of a physician and pretty much only work in doctors offices. CNA's work in long term care or hospitals under the supervision of nurses. As a CNA, you could go on to...
  24. Barnes & Noble member?

    I order all my text books new from B&N, and with the membership, it usually came out cheaper to get new books from them than to get used books from my school. Definitely worth it in my opinion....
  25. 36.96 /hour long term care

    FYI, that would be ~34/hour USD. I know its not a big difference, but there is a conversion between the canadian dollar and the US dollar. Still sounds like a good pay
