  1. IQ Test for Job Application??!

    Abishag replied to Abishag's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Well they haven't exactly busted down my door yet. So I guess I didn't meet the MENSA criteria. Although maybe I broke the computer with my mad skills? No, but seriously... if/when I do get the...

  2. How do I tell the nurse recruiter I already took a position

    Abishag replied to lnt3's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You may want to say something along the lines of, "Thank you so much for all the help you have provided me in the past. I did recently receive a job offer and I would like to withdraw my application...

  3. help please- dropped computer- lost site for CEU's

    Abishag replied to ilmbg's topic in General Nursing

    I used nurse.com because it was the site linked from the FLBON. I took a class online and it was really easy. There are a lot of free ones too. The one I needed was $15 (required for State of FL)....

  4. Vaccines and nursing school

    Abishag replied to cute2's topic in General Students

    I opted out of Hep B initially because I was breastfeeding but had to have a doctor's note to decline. I couldn't just sign a waiver. When they did my MMR titer (since my records were so old) they...

  5. HELP....Burnt Out...

    Abishag replied to mareeh77's topic in General Students

    The last two weeks of school I too was burnt out. My classmate and I had discussed we couldn't bring ourselves to want to study. So, I didn't really study. I basically said, I know it or I don't. And...

  6. Freaking out soon-to-be first semester nursing student

    Abishag replied to ajulian87's topic in General Students

    My words of wisdom is get used to the anxiety!! I just graduated a couple weeks ago and I can honestly say that every semester I felt the same way starting out. "Why am I doing this? I have no idea...

  7. Fear of Blood and Needles

    Abishag replied to MegoEgo's topic in General Students

    I finally figured it out! You can be a Radiology Nurse. :chuckle I'm not 100% sure, but I don't believe they put in lines or draw blood?? At least when I brought my patients for X-rays and CT's I...

  8. Waiting for ATT number

    Abishag replied to kfarinato's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    FYI for those in NC waiting on ATT's. One of my classmates found out hers didn't go through because she didn't enter her SSN on the Pearsonvue site (it said "optional" so she chose not to place it...

  9. Care Plans - What's their purpose? - What do you think of them?

    Abishag replied to jjjoy's topic in General Students

    I believe you can hate something and learn to appreciate it later. I despised care plans when I started. Then toward the end it was the easiest thing in the world because I could write a care plan...

  10. Question about PRN jobs in Tampa Bay area

    Abishag posted a topic in Florida Nursing

    Okay so I have a question. I'm a new grad in NC and looking to relo back to my home in Tampa. However, there are no new grad jobs (here or there). But there seems to be TONS of PRN jobs. So here are...

  11. Sutter Health New Grad program unpaid.

    Abishag replied to Breezy Girl's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I just saw a new grad position in Columbia, SC that states the first 13 weeks are orientation at $10/hr. This isn't doable for me because of the need for child care if I'm working 36 hours a week. But...

    Abishag replied to jtrauma's topic in Neuro Intensive Care, ICU

    Well I've worked in Charlotte's level 1 (CMC-Main) as a nursing student (was in the Trauma 1 ED for a day) and been a visitor to Tampa's level 1 (Tampa Gen) since I lived there but its been many...

  13. Relocating for a job

    Abishag replied to Schmoo1022's topic in General Nursing

    We are doing this. Thankfully we only rent and from my in laws so we have no lease agreement. Basically we can move at the drop of a hat. I'm only putting in applications where I have family because I...

  14. HELP!!!! All the nursing nurses...

    Abishag replied to AnalegnaRN's topic in General Nursing

    The La Leche League would disagree with you KateRN1 (along with the posted studies in the following article). However, if alcohol consumption is a concern, a mother can drink non-alcoholic beer with...

    Abishag replied to AnalegnaRN's topic in General Nursing

    hehe and

  16. HELP!!!! All the nursing nurses...

    Abishag replied to AnalegnaRN's topic in General Nursing

    I worked a full time job while pumping for about 7 months. I got the Medela double pump and it works fast! So I could put together the pump, pump, and then disassemble within 15 minutes getting about...

  17. Breastfeeding and the job

    Abishag replied to mrod's topic in Home Health

    If you get the Medela double breast pump it is just as efficient as the ones rented out by the hospitals. Usually the same equipment fits both pumps. Anyhow, I nursed my daughter while working 40...

  18. Waiting for ATT number

    Abishag replied to kfarinato's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    No problem! Raleigh for jobs? Not yet. It will probably be next on my list. I actually JUST put in my app for the new grad job at forsyth probably two days ago so cross your fingers for

  19. Waiting for ATT number

    Abishag replied to kfarinato's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm in Charlotte. I believe they do it by school/city because my entire class got their ATT's within the same hour. I'm not sure if this is any interest to you but the earliest test date for Charlotte...

  20. nurse residency program, low gpa acceptable?

    Abishag replied to ttl0887's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I would still apply unless it specifically states a minimum GPA. I know many less than 3.0'ers that got hired this month from my school. However, with that being said I think sometimes they know...

  21. Passed boards- and got laid off immediately :-(

    Abishag replied to WannaBeNrse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I find that interesting because my state allows you to get a CNA license without testing as long as you have your RN or LPN. In other words, if you want to work as a CNA you are automatically...

  22. Waiting for ATT number

    Abishag replied to kfarinato's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  23. Fear of Blood and Needles

    Abishag replied to MegoEgo's topic in General Students

    You can only do what you tell yourself you can do. I understand why the instructor said that because from my first semester until my last all we ever did was injections, accuchecks, etc. We didn't...

  24. Grading scale for Nusing school???

    Abishag replied to COLPN's topic in General Students

    92-100 = A 86-91 = B 80-85 = C Less than 80 is fail. They will only round the final grade if its 79.5 to an 80. But 79.49 and you fail. There is no curve

  25. Job in Charlotte

    Abishag replied to wlb06's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    You may also want to look into Rock Hill or Fort Mill, SC. I believe one of the hospital systems is Piedmont Healthcare systems? The commute is not that bad. It is a compact state with NC so if you...
