I think of Vocera as a source of amusement. I think it's hilarious when you ask it to log in someone and it says it's logging in someone with a completely different name! I look at it as a way to break up the seriousness that comes with our very busy...

I use Nurse Mates compression socks that are 15-20mm/Hg. I like that they make my legs feel good after working long 12 hour shifts. They are around $13 a pair at Uniform Advantage. I see the Therafirm stockings on Amazon for around $16. Maybe I'll ch...

I love Butter Soft scrubs!

Congratulations!!!

Kudos to the OP for being so financially conscientious! It's a good idea to start looking at these things early. I have about 40K worth of student loan debt right now that I used to get my BS in Health Science and my ADN. My parents couldn't afford t...

Well said!

I was going to apply for that one but it's too far of a commute for me. I live in Sac. Good luck to you though. :)

HIPPA is no joke. She should have known better. I don't post anything about my job on Facebook. Tough lesson for her.

It couldn't hurt to try. A couple of my classmates have tried to find jobs as non-licensed personnel to get their foot in the door at a hospital but have been turned down because they have an RN license. Good luck with your job search. :)

Good luck. The market is extremely saturated right now with new nurses. I'm a new grad that just graduated in May of this year. I've worked at a well known hospital system in the Sacramento area for the past 4 years but I haven't been placed into an ...

I got an on-call position at a nursing home.

It doesn't matter if I consider it experience but it does matter if HR does. I am fortunate to be working right now in an eICU as a secretary and I still get to see a lot and learn a lot while I'm waiting for an RN position. I actually get to use my ...

Congratulations to you!!!!

If this works for you then do it! Most of us who went to nursing school and graduated did NOT go to school to end up volunteering afterwards. I don't know about you but I put a lot of hard work into getting my license and for this company to even sug...

Passed nursing school...YEAAAHHHH!!! Passed the NCLEX...YEAAAAAHHH!!! Now what? All the excitement is over and I'm still sitting here bored and jobless. I spend at least 2 hours each day looking for a job. And the funny (more like annoying) thing abo...

I have a 4.5 year old and a 17 month old and they keep me busy but I'm still bored. Hmm...

I actually had a question like this on my exam. I didn't have a special way to memorize the schedule but I just kind of already know it because I have kids. :) Good luck to you.

Congratulations!

I think we're all aware of how difficult it is for us new grads to find a job nowadays, right? So I was online looking at available RN positions at a local hospital and I see an opening for a flu shot nurse. Basically the nurse would be giving flu sh...

I passed the NCLEX!!! Wow, what a ride! That test was CRAZY but I'm SOOOO glad I'm done. My dream has finally come true. Thank goodness I had the Pearson Vue trick to keep me calm until my license was posted on the BRN website. I want to wish everyon...

I did the Hurst review and studied ATI as well as 2 Saunders review books. I don't know how many practice questions I did but I did a lot. Honestly I just studied hardcore and answered pracitce questions during the week before the exam (8 hours a day...

The trick works! I live in Cali, took the NCLEX on 6/8 (and got the good pop up the next day), and my license was posted to the BRN website on 6/17. I really had no doubt that the trick works but it's REALLY nice to get the official results to confir...

I took the NCLEX here in California yesterday and walked out of there feeling like my brain was fried! What an experience! They sure know how to make you feel like you don't know jack! When the computer shut off at 75, my heart just about jumped out...

I'm officially a nursing school graduate as of yesterday!!!! :yeah:I will be moving over to the graduate nursing forum now with all the other new grads who are trying to find jobs . I've really enjoyed reading everyone's stories and I'm thankful for ...

Congratulations everyone! My final was May 14 and pinning is May 18!!! I can't believe it's all over!
