  1. NCLEX worries.....

    CABG patch kid replied to angelwingsamy's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with everyone here and I do remember reading that people who take the test either 4 months post-grad have a greater chance of failing. An NCLEX review course is SOOOOO great if you can get...

  2. The panic is setting in.

    CABG patch kid replied to Thedreamer's topic in First Year After Licensure

    A simple thing I was taught in Hurst review is "What can you do as a nurse to help the patient's problem?" And sometimes there is NOTHING we can do, so it is okay to call the doctor as long as you...

  3. First Year of Nursing is Hard Because...??

    CABG patch kid replied to vaileheart's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Oh and one more thing I wanted to add: Where I went to school, the ADN program had a waiting list 2 years long. The BSN program entry was based on GPA. The fact that my grades mattered to someone...

  4. First Year of Nursing is Hard Because...??

    CABG patch kid replied to vaileheart's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If the only difference between the ADN and the BSN when first starting out is maybe a more difficult time adjusting, I'm still happy with my BSN. In the area where I went to school, some of the...

    CABG patch kid replied to labrador4122's topic in First Year After Licensure

  6. The panic is setting in.

    CABG patch kid replied to Thedreamer's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You give me hope in driving away from that place with a smile. So many people say they feel nauseous and dreadful after testing, it is refreshing to hear of someone who had a good

  8. Hurst Review vs. ATI

    CABG patch kid replied to KeepOnSwimming's topic in General Nursing

    I did both. My school required ATI to track our progress (our school doesn't have the greatest pass rate); they actually incorportated it into the curriculum, kind of, we were required to take ATI...

  9. Nursing notes

    CABG patch kid replied to mandykal's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm not sure if your teacher approves of this, but I had many teachers who let me write a rough draft on scratch paper first before writing it in pen on the patient record. I am quite horrible at...

  10. waking pts

    CABG patch kid replied to RNKel's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I used to also be pretty timid when I was still in nursing school, but after I got a job as a tech, that went right out the window. When you have 12 vitals to get and also need to look at the...

  11. Starting to get nervous...

    CABG patch kid replied to beckyvon's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Don't let your friends mess with your head right now. In fact, don't even think about what your friends said about it, everyone is different. Just know you can pass with 265 questions, and for every...

  12. The panic is setting in.

    CABG patch kid replied to Thedreamer's topic in First Year After Licensure

    LOL I feel your pain. In one week from today I will be wondering if I passed! I just study a bit everyday and then go about my other business. Try not to stress on it and keep telling yourself "I...

  13. First Year of Nursing is Hard Because...??

    CABG patch kid replied to vaileheart's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Just speaking for myself, I had a lot of confidence in nursing school, but now that I will have a license of my own on the line, there is a lot more responsibility. You can't use the excuse "Oh I'm...

  15. From school to ICU...What was I thinking?

    CABG patch kid replied to ArtOfNursing's topic in General Nursing

    I am very inexperienced myself, but one thing I learned (and need to keep reminding myself of constantly) is that if I rush through something, even just gathering supplies for a dressing change, I...

  16. Taking the NCLEX in January? Stop in here...

    CABG patch kid replied to allthingsbright's topic in First Year After Licensure

    do you know if the board received your transcripts from school yet? i know a few people who tested but didn't get their results for 2-3 weeks because the brn hadn't received the school transcripts...

  17. Patient Confidentiality...

    CABG patch kid posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello all, I am a graduate nurse, taking boards next week and starting a new job in telemetry in a few weeks. I have had experience as a student nurse tech at a different hospital than the one I will...

  18. Patient Confidentiality...

    CABG patch kid replied to CABG patch kid's topic in General Nursing

    So then it is okay to discuss the general condition with immediate family? I'm sorry, I've just had a lot of patients with dementia or they were so out of it they didn't really know what was going...

  19. Long enough orientation

    CABG patch kid replied to WhiteRN's topic in Cardiac

    I am a new grad, about a year and a half recent experience in a student nurse position (mainly tech work), and got hired for a tele position with an 8 week orientation, so I'd say you're getting about...

  20. Male considering career change seeks advice

    CABG patch kid replied to Lake201's topic in General Nursing

    Many good posts here! Well my 2cents, for what its worth: Based on your background, I'd say go with the BSN since you are interested in going into administration in the future, you should just save...

  21. online CPR certification program

    CABG patch kid replied to aspire08's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure how to check if its legit, but I think most places require that your BLS be taught by an American Heart Association certified provider. Also, how could CPR be taught effectively online?...

  22. ATTN: bay area RN new grads.. Were you able to land a new grad job?

    CABG patch kid replied to pogiboy67's topic in California Nursing

    Wow that's terrible that so many people are having trouble in the Bay Area. Seems like we don't have a problem in Central or Southern California. None of my nursing buddies had problems getting a...

  23. Are LVNs being hired in your hospital or only RNs hired?

    CABG patch kid replied to Bala Shark's topic in California Nursing

    In California, we are taught that every adverse thing that happens to the patient is the RN's responsibility. As harsh as it seems, its true. In my unit, we don't have LVNs. To be honest, I prefer...

  24. Do New Grads get hired in CCU, ER, ICU, etc?

    CABG patch kid replied to Vanillanut's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I just graduated from a BSN program, and quite a few of my classmates went into ICU and NICU. The general concensus here is that it is easier to get into those places if you have an extern position...

    CABG patch kid replied to jello18966's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Honestly, just apply to a few departments you are interested in, keeping in mind that some units are more friendly to new grads: Med/Surg, Telemetry, Ortho.... And many hospitals have new grad...
