  12. I have been interviewing as a GN at both of these facilities and both look very promising at this point (yes, I feel very fortunate as a new grad). My question is, has anyone worked at these hospitals...
  13. Took my NCLEX-RN today!

    I took it today in FL and had a test very similar to what you describe: a lot of SATA's , and a lot of infection control, and stopped after 75. Pearson site said I can't register, so I guess that's...

  18. New Grad RN-->No Jobs, Then what?

  19. I am a senior in a BSN program. Have maintained a good GPA, have always had good grades, and have been on honor rolll most semesters. I have always had a good rapport with the professors and...
  20. Thank you, Ashley and Xtxrn! I am starting to be a little more optimistic about the opportunity. I do not understand the placement process (students that were barely passing were being placed in ICU's...

  22. Chamberlain College of Nursing in Jacksonville

    I am in my second senester at Chamberlain and I absolutely love:heartbeat it and have no regrets! The staff is very student focused and the small class size makes for a pleasant learning experience....
  23. When is it OK to delegate to a CNA?

    Wow! I am a CNA/Nursing Student in the progressive care unit. 1. I can't imagine having the opportunity to sit and listen to music... I'm lucky if I can sit and get my charting done; 2. You were...
